Active Metabolic Training

IS YOUR HEART RATE IN THE RIGHT PLACE?

At Fit Club Fitness , we are committed to providing you with cutting-edge tools that produce visible results. Using proprietary technology to measure your personal metabolic rate, we can now empower you with the knowledge to train smarter, not harder.

Find out the answers to these questions and more with a Metabolic Assessment:

• How many calories should I consume and burn to achieve my weight loss goals?
• At what intensity do I need to exercise to burn fat most efficiently?
• How can I increase my cardiovascular performance threshold?
• How should I adjust my fitness routine as I progress?

SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE

It is often wrongly assumed that the harder you work out, the better results you’ll see. The right training program can “teach” your body to burn more calories from fat, while preventing plateaus and over-training.

To get the most out of your fitness regimen, you should teach your body how to workout and be metabolically efficient at various levels of intensity.

METABOLIC ASSESSMENT

The Metabolic Assessment will give you an optimal training roadmap by measuring:

• Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – the number of calories your body uses to function efficiently at rest
• Exercise Metabolic Rate (EMR) – an analysis of fat and total caloric efficiency
• Anaerobic Threshold (AT) – the peak of your aerobic capacity, where you move from fat to carbohydrate utilization
• Projected VO2 Max - your body’s maximum ability to transport oxygen to fuel your working muscles

RESULTS = RESULTS

Your metabolic profile will inform an individualized cardiovascular program, which helps identify and improve the intensity levels (and heart rate training zones) at which you most efficiently burn fat for energy.

Before you begin your program, your profile will likely reflect an inefficient use of fat versus carbohydrates for fuel. While you are exercising aerobically (at lower intensities), fat utilization will peak and then begin to taper off as your heart rate increases. As you move toward your anaerobic threshold, your body will become less able to use fat to fuel your working muscles.

Your dedication to the prescribed program will result in an expanded fat burning window as you become more metabolically efficient at higher intensities.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Your assessment will be administered by an experienced Personal Trainer with whom you will review your metabolic diagnostics and printed reports, including:

• Resting metabolism, number of calories burned each day, peak VO2, anaerobic threshold, fitness level and caloric burn rates
• Ideal heart rate training frequencies, intensities and durations to achieve targeted goals
• 8-week customized cardiovascular program with daily workouts you can do on your own with a heart rate monitor

AS PERSONAL AS PERSONAL TRAINING GETS

With an established cardiovascular program, a Personal Trainer can help ensure that your strength training routine also gets you measurable results.

Whether you are looking to burn more calories, define and sculpt your body, balance out your fitness routine, train for a special event or optimize your athletic performance, working with a Personal Trainer will help you maximize your results and achieve your goals.
