What Is FitLab?

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

FitLab Metabolic Services uses specialized medical equipment to determine how many calories an individual’s body burns 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 get all the fuel you need without storing any extra body fat and (2) to determine how many calories you burn per minute during exercise as well as pinpoint your most efficient heart rate(s) for training. 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?  FitLab is located in Birmingham, AL and has multiple testing sites. We also regularly make trips to the Dallas Metroplex and other locations on a case-by-case basis.  Please contact us for more information about testing locations.  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.
