+ What is the benefit of the Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test?
The RMR test is performed to estimate the amount of energy that your body burns in one day. Your RMR is influenced by your age, gender, the amount of body fat and muscle you have, the amount of exercise you do, your ethnicity, as well as by a number of environmental factors, which is why it can be beneficial to repeat the test on occasion. Read more here.
+ How does it work?
During the test you will lay reclined in a chair wearing a face mask or on a bed with a canopy hood rested comfortably over you. You should remain still, relaxed, and as comfortable as possible without falling asleep. The testing staff will monitor you regularly during the test to ensure you stay awake and should you need assistance.
+ Can I use my phone to check emails or browse social media during the test?
During the test you should remain as relaxed as possible so we don't recommend you use any kind of device. External stresses can affect the accuracy of your results.
+ What are the health risks?
To the best of our knowledge, there are no known health risks associated with the RMR test. Rarely, people may feel claustrophobic while wearing the canopy hood.
+ What are my responsibilities during testing?
Remain still and relaxed. Stay awake. The results of the test may be inaccurate if pre-test procedures are not properly followed.
+ What conditions can affect my test results?
The accuracy of your results can be affected by certain medications, medical conditions, acute infections and, for females, pregnancy, breastfeeding and menstruation. You should let the testing staff know prior to the test if any of these apply, including the use of non-prescription medications. You should immediately report any unusual or concerning feelings to the test staff during the test.
+ How long is the test?
The duration of the test is about one hour.
+ How do I prepare?
Prior to your RMR test, there are a few important things to note: You must complete a 12 hour fast overnight, prior to your RMR test. e.g. if your appointment is at 8am, you must only drink water after 8pm the evening before. You must not consume alcohol or caffeine 12 hours prior to the test. You must avoid moderate and vigorous exercise at least 24 hours prior to the test. Your commute to the hospital should be relatively stress free, so plan extra time! Avoid brisk walking, running or taking a lot of stairs. Failure to follow these instructions may result in an inaccurate result.
+What should I wear for the test?
Attire for the test: No specific attire is required. You will be laying still for an extended period of time, so plan accordingly and bring extra layers.
+How long until I have my results?
You will receive online access to your results within one business day.
What People Are Saying
“Very glad I found out about this! I did a body fat challenge with my friends, and we used Fitnescity to measure our body composition. It’s fun, easy to book and reliable. We loved it. Tip: If you do a challenge, make sure you call and tell them about it. They built a custom dashboard for me and my friends, so we can all track the results together!”
— David S, 22
“Loved the experience! I did several tests with Fitnescity. The results were very quick and easy to understand. They're still brand new but pretty cool! I recommended it to 3 colleagues already. If you do the DEXA scan, make sure you receive the results online (the Fitnescity version); they're much easier to digest than the "standard" ones that you get from the machine (where you literally have to look up stuff online to understand what's going on). I'm scheduled for 3 follow-up tests this year already and can't wait!”
— Lina S., 32
“My new place for tracking progress. I finally got to see how my workout and diet are changing my body composition. I have been playing with my diet for the last 9 months and after my BOD POD I know that a low-carb diet is not necessarily what works best for me. The RMR metabolic test was super helpful too. I realized I was so wrong about my maintenance level. This changes everything. I can't imagine guessing anymore.”
