The Basics- Height,Weight, Blood Pressure and Body Fat Free
We ask all our members to get these basic parameters measured upon enrollment at Phys-Ed. It not only helps us make sure it is safe to begin a conditioning program, but also allows you to establish your baseline before starting a program. Also, remember, you have to have some base of where you are starting.
Resting Metabolic Rate$65 (includes 1x breather and tube charge)
Do I have a fast or a slow metabolism? How much do I need to eat or how much do I need to exercise to lose a certain number of pounds? Well determining your resting metabolic rate helps to answer these questions and many more.

Sub VO2 Max Testing $115
