Body composition
Analysis
Body composition tells you what your weight is made of. Fat, muscle, water, and how each one moves between tests. Most people retest every three to six months.
-
Body composition analysis is a quick and completely non-invasive testing method used to measure the proportions of muscle, fat, bone, and water in your body to help obtain a more specific and overall view of your health.
-
This analysis helps you understand your muscle-to-fat ratio, which is crucial for assessing your overall health.
Having excessive body fat can increase your risk of conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease.
-
The body composition analysis focuses on key metrics to give you an accurate picture of your physical health:
Body fat percentage: Determines how much of your body is made up of fat.
Lean mass: Measures the amount of muscle, bone, and water in your body.
Visceral fat: Assesses the fat surrounding your internal organs, which can be more harmful to health.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR): Estimates the number of calories your body needs at rest.
Understanding these metrics allows your wellness specialist to create a customized fitness plan, nutritional recommendations, and weight management strategies tailored to your specific needs.
-
The frequency of body composition analysis depends on your health goals.
For most people, it’s beneficial to have a body composition analysis every 3 to 6 months to track progress and adjust fitness and nutrition plans as needed.
If you are actively working on weight management, muscle building, or rehabilitation, more frequent assessments may be recommended.
Metabolic Rate Test
-
Metabolic testing is an assessment of your body’s metabolism, which is the process of converting the calories from food into energy for daily bodily functions.
The speed of your metabolism influences how many calories your body burns throughout the day, even when you’re at rest.
-
Knowing your metabolic rate allows for more precise diet and exercise prescriptions, helping you achieve better, more sustainable results.

-
To ensure accurate results, we recommend that you follow these steps prior to your RMR test:
Avoid exercise for at least 12 hours before the test
Do not consume food or beverages (except water) for 4-6 hours before the test
Avoid caffeine, stimulants, and alcohol for 12 hours prior
Wear comfortable clothing and be ready to sit in a relaxed position during the test
Our team will provide detailed instructions after you book your test to ensure you’re properly prepared.
A metabolic rate test is a 15-minute breath test. You sit still, breathe into a mouthpiece, and we get the number of calories your body burns at rest. That number is what every nutrition and training plan here is written from. $75, at our Long Island City and Manhattan offices.
