RMR testing in Santa Monica
What your body burns at rest, measured rather than estimated from a calculator that has never met you.

Drop fat + optimise body comp
Measured resting burn,
not a calculator
Resting metabolic rate is what your body burns at rest — measured, rather than estimated from a calculator that has never met you. The $175 test includes the consultation.
This is rest, not a staged effort. Gareth Thomas reads the result with you in person and sets up a calorie and meal plan from your own numbers. Coach to world & national champions · 30+ years.
Roughly half the people tested at the lab are not racing anything. RMR is used just as often for body composition, longevity and general health as it is for performance.
