Your New Leaf metabolic assessment looks inside your body to find out what’s going on with your fitness efforts. In fact, it’s similar to the inside look you get from x-rays or blood work at the doctor’s office—although there are no tiny gowns or needles involved here! A metabolic assessment delivers results instantly. Granted, it’ll take some sweat equity to see the results in your body, but you’ll get personal fitness insight right away with a little guidance from your trainer.

Like a doctor interpreting lab results and writing a prescription, your trainer will help you understand the information revealed by your metabolic assessment. Your trainer will talk with you about your resting metabolic rate and your caloric needs. You’ll learn about your base heart rate (known as your aerobic base) and your threshold heart rate (known as your anaerobic threshold). And based on that info, you’ll discover how and when your body burns fat instead of carbs. Then, your trainer will write up a “prescriptive” workout schedule to get you where you want to be.

The result is a more meaningful fitness plan.
