What Is FitLab?

FitLab can assist with your weight loss goals, aid in sports performance, and also specializes in heart rate-based cardio program development!

FitLab Metabolic Services uses specialized medical equipment to determine where an individual’s body burns calories both at rest (RMR) and while exercising (FitMAP). The purpose of these two tests is to (1) determine how many calories YOUR body needs per day to exist optimally and (2) determine what heart rate your body burns the most calories directly from fat! Sound impossible? It’s not! Elite endurance athletes (like Lance Armstrong) have been doing it for at least a decade…and now we use the technology for Weight Loss and Sports Performance!

How does it work?
We’re able to gather this information by measuring your heart rate while we evaluate the mix of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your breath during rest and exercise conditions!

Where Do I test?
We regularly make trips to the Dallas metroplex (among other locations) for testing in addition to working from our home-base in Peachtree City, GA, located at 100 Peachtree Parkway N, Ste 11. For an additional fee, you can have either or both assessments done in the comfort of your own home, if you have the proper equipment available.

Not Sure You Want To Make The Leap?

If you like what you see but aren’t sure you want to make the leap…we understand! Implementing a weight loss or fitness program can be quite the commitment and shouldn’t be taken lightly. FitLab Metabolic Services offers a free, no commitment consult* to discuss how we gather our data as well as allow you to preview the facility. If you are interested in classes, we also offer a free demo of that as well.

*Consults are 30 minutes or less

Group Environment. Individualized Weight Loss.

FitLab Metabolic Services’s Weight Loss class is a 12-week program that meets 3 times per week with a Certified FitLab Coach and Nutritional Advisor. As a member of FitLab Weight Loss, you will receive the benefits of a personalized program that is structured in a group format.

This system encourages accountability and peer interaction with those who have the same goals as you do – losing weight and keeping it off! At the beginning of the 12-week program, you and your FitLab Weight Loss Coach will determine your heart rate zones for optimal results and decide on a realistic weight loss goal. Success is based on setting realistic, measurable, obtainable goals. Whether you are whether you’re inactive or very active , this program is designed with you in mind!

What to Expect

Each week the workouts will become progressively more challenging to ensure you will meet your personal goal. During the entire session, your FitLab Coach will be there to facilitate, motivate, as well as provide professional support and guidance. The first 50-55 minutes of each session will incorporate heart rate “zone” training for cardio and upper body strength training to define muscles and increase your metabolism. The class will end with 5-10 minutes of CORE (balance and abs) training. This combination of exercise produces the quickest and most efficient results as well as making it a fun experience for you!!
