Metabodies Fitness fitness programs are customized and employ state of the art, scientifically determined metabolic calculations, including resting metabolic rate, basal metabolic rate, body mass index, current and ideal body fat and lean body mass percentages.  Oxygen uptake (VO₂) is measured to determine current fitness level.  Once VO₂ is obtained, "Metabodies Fitness" can calculate the amount of calories burned at various training intensities.  Individual body and muscle fiber types are also considered when designing customized programs as are eating habits and appropriate caloric balance.
