You think you have a healthy body weight, but, wait... Do you have a healthy body composition? What is your body fat percentage and lean body mass? What are you really made of? When going on a weight loss program, what do you want to lose, body weight or body-fat? And if you have been on a weight-loss program, do you know if the weight you lost is fat or muscle? If you lost lean tissue, your metabolism will be down and often results in weight gain in the form of body fat.
Health and Body Weight Appraisal How otherwise would you know if the weight you lost or gained is body fat or valuable lean tissue? Prior to beginning a weight loss program, weight management progam (diet only, diet and exercise, or exercise only program), or a program with the goal to gain weight, a Health andBody Weight Appraisal is recommended. We determine your current body fat percentage, fat pounds, lean body weight, body weight distribution, BMI, waist-to-hip and circumference, resting blood pressure, resting heart rate, target heart rate range/RPE. We request you bring your latest blood test that shows cholesterol, fasting glucose and A1c if diabetic. Each piece of information is essential in designing an effective exercise program that provides the benefits you seek, is safe and effective. We determine your ideal body weight and healthy body composition range, desired fat loss and desired fat-free mass, calculate Total Energy Expenditure(TEE), provide nutrition guidelines, and determine a safe time line for fat-loss and weigh- loss.

Body Composition
Analysis: Fat Mass and Fat-Free Mass Your body composition is the percentage of fat mass and fat free mass (muscle, bone and organs). Body composition analysis is the most effective way of showing you how effective changes in lifestyle can be (weight loss or weight gain). During a weight-loss program diet and/or exercise there are going to be times when the rate of weight-loss slows, stops or even reverses and yet you can still be losing body fat and gaining lean body mass. Without a body composition analysis it is impossible to know wherther a weight lost or gained after starting a diet or exercise program is the result of a change in fat mass or fat free mass.
We provide body composition analysis or body fat testing to firefighters, police officers and others that are required testing by an independent party.
