RMR Testing in Ashburn
A clear service. A purposeful place in your plan.
The test measures respiratory-gas exchange while you rest. That information is used to estimate resting energy expenditure rather than relying only on a population-based formula.
RMR results provide one input for planning; daily activity, training demands, goals, and health context still matter. The test is booked separately from the Fitness Assessment.
