This 60-minute, science-backed assessment gives you a clear picture of your metabolism so you can fuel smarter, train more effectively, and recover with confidence. Whether your goal is better running performance, weight management, or simply understanding your body, RMR testing provides the personalized data you need to make informed decisions.

What is RMR testing?

Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body uses at rest to keep you alive, powering essential functions like breathing, circulation, and cell repair.

Everyone’s RMR is different, and factors like training load, body composition, medications, age, and genetics all play a role. By measuring your RMR, you get accurate, personalized data instead of relying on generic calculators or guesswork.

Duration: 45-60 minutes
Investment: $99

Why Resting Metabolic Rate Testing is valuable

If you’re training regularly, your daily energy needs go far beyond “average” recommendations. Knowing your RMR helps you:

Set accurate calorie and macro targets for training and recovery
Avoid energy deficits that slow performance gains
Support healthy body composition changes
Prevent under-fuelling and overtraining

Resting metabolic rate testing can help you:

Dial in your daily nutrition: Understand exactly how many calories you need to maintain, lose, or gain weight.
Support race fueling strategies: Better match your nutrition to your training demands and optimize race-day performance.
Plan around life changes: Gain insight into how factors like hormones, medications, or age may be affecting your metabolism.
Make informed, personalized decisions: Move away from generic one-size-fits-all guidelines and toward strategies tailored to your body.

"I've had a few years of continuous strength training and racing cycles under my belt, so I was curious to see how my running mechanics were. I found Kylie's running assessment to be a very helpful and informative learning experience. She did a great job of providing clarity on things such as heel-striking, hip flexion, and cadence. And it turns out improving running economy isn't a simple quick fix of any one thing but rather a combination of them. I also now know some of the exercises that I need to incorporate into my regular strength training so that I can hit my marathon goals for next year. Highly recommended for all runners."

The VO2 testing was very eye opening for me. Coming back to running post injury, I wanted to know where I was at fitness wise (and heading into a big marathon training block). The test itself was extremely challenging for me, and it really became a test of my mental limits (and trying to push myself farther and harder). Kylie is super motivating, positive and I can tell wants the best for her clients. She was there to support every step of the testing. I am a huge stats and data nerd, so it was super fun and helpful seeing it all laid out after the testing. I was impressed with how far I have come and some of the numbers that my testing came out with. I would highly suggest everyone take a VO2 test at some point - doesn't matter skill level, pace, ability, I know it is something I can refer to going forward. I look forward to re-testing in the fall to compare my results post marathon training block!

I have been training for my first ultra marathon with Kylie and it has been eye opening how crucial nutrition and hydration is. I had always noticed saltiness in my sweat and was intrigued by the thought of a sweat test. Kylie was really accommodating to my busy weekend schedule. She was prepared with all the instructions and prepared a running route ahead of time. The test itself was quick and easy both pre and post run. I found the results really comprehensive and insightful. I would recommend any runners who are training for a marathon, ultra or just curious about their sodium loss to take a test with Kylie!

I was nervous to have my running assessed and scrutinized, but Kylie made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process! She was super thorough and took the time to explain everything to me, and the results have helped me identify my strengths and areas that need improvement. Now I feel better equipped and informed about what to work on, and I have exercises that will help set me up for success!

Kylie's running assessment was very informative and insightful as a runner for many years in multisport. Kylie's affirmative, encouraging and fun-energy approach made the process easy and enjoyable. Her assessment report follow-up was very thorough, detailed and included photo's of your running stance. Thank you Kylie!!

Kylie conducted a sweat test for me and I found it answered so many questions. She was pleasant to deal with and gave me the information I needed. I’ll definitely recommend her to other athletes of all levels!
