Do you know how many calories you really burn?

Your metabolism, or the number of calories your body burns each day, is a key to successfully managing your weight, health, and fitness level.

The BodyGem™ metabolic measurement device by HealtheTech is a handheld, portable device that measures your resting metabolism with a simple, non-invasive 5 to 10 minute breath test. The device measures oxygen consumption to determine individual resting metabolism, which accounts for up to 75% of calories your body burns each day.

Every person has a unique metabolism that can vary significantly even between two people of the same weight, height, and gender. By having your metabolism measured, it allows us to personalize a program based on your body's unique needs and your individual goals.

Call or email us today to schedule your BodyGem™ measurement.
