Chapter 1 Body Composition Evaluation: BodyTest

"The Gold Standard"

Why Having an Accurate Body Fat Assessment is Important?
Did you know that your diet and nutritional needs should be based on your lean body mass? Your lean body mass otherwise known as your LBM is a critical measurement when establishing a nutritional program for weight loss or muscle gain. This number determines your daily caloric intake to be consumed based on your basal metabolic rate. As we are not all alike, this number must be properly calculated and personalized to you to maximize fat loss and your training goals.
About the test
The actual test only lasts a little over five minutes
The test will be carried out by a trained ROYAL FIT staff member
The procedure will be conducted in a private setting
You will need some type of bathing attire
Six page comprehensive analysis will be explained to you onsite
Universally considered to be the ‘Gold Standard’ in body composition testing

The BodyTest composition system measures the percentage of fat and the lean body mass in the body. This is done by measuring the amount of oxygen displaced by the body from the test chamber, which determines the body density. Since fat is less dense than lean tissue (muscles and bones), BodyTest can accurately measure the body weight and volume, as well as the lung capacity. The device is connected to a computer that uses the measurement results to calculate the body composition.
Like what you've heard so far but still not convinced?

These 9 quick reasons should help you decide:
1. You will be tested via the BodyTest method universally considered to be “The Gold Standard”, in body composition testing. Results are given on site by one our trained staff members.


2. Establish an accurate baseline assessment of your overall body composition. No matter what your age or fitness level, it’s time to get started on reaching your fitness goals!

3. Once you have an accurate body composition measurement it will help you:
better understand your daily required caloric intake
maximize fat loss based on your body’s caloric needs
establish a RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate)
determine a healthy body fat percentage as scale weight doesn’t tell the whole story

4. How important is your time? Renew, rejuvenate, and empower yourself with the necessary MOTIVATION to keep exercising and more importantly VALIDATE all your hard work.

5. Find out what is considered to be a healthy body fat percentage and where you fall amongst the general population. How do you measure up?

6. Monitor and track your progress using our specially designed body composition software which includes a database component that allows us to precisely compare and graph your results from test to test. Specifically:
Changes in body fat percentages
Loss of body fat in pounds
Gained lean body mass (muscle)
Total weight change

7. Personalized Caloric-Burn Profile which shows how many calories your body will burn when performing over fifty different exercises and activities.

8. With the OBESITY epidemic on the rise, now is the time to take control of your health and more importantly your quality of life.

9. Did you know that people spend more money during the last two weeks of their life on health than they do during their entire lifetime! Enjoy life now and let ROYAL FIT help you reach your wellness goal

Chapter 2 Metabolic Rate Measurements – MRM




ROYAL FIT is now offering the "Gold Standard in Metabolic Testing "Metacheck" The Right Way to lose weight! Real Science that helps lead to real results...
Testing your metabolic rate will determine exactly how many calories you will need to cut to lose weight. It will determine if your weight problem is due to your metabolism. Then do a retest to reveal if your metabolism has been affected by dieting, and exercise. Let ROYAL FIT help guide you to the new you.
Metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which the body expends energy. This is also referred to as the “caloric burn rate”. Knowing metabolic rate is vital for weight loss as well as for determining the proper feeding amounts needed to treat various disease states.
Energy expenditure can be divided into three groups of calories.
Resting Calories – Calories that are burned while the body is at rest. These calories are needed just to maintain life. The majority of all calories burned (about 70-80%) are burned at the resting level.
Activity Calories – Calories that are burned because of normal daily activities are “Activity Calories”. Normal daily activities such as walking, eating (digesting food), typing, etc. are included in activity calories.
Exercise Calories – These calories are burned because of exercise.
The sum of all of these groups of calories is the total metabolic rate.

Energy Balance
The body gains or loses fat based on energy balance. Energy balance refers to the relationship between energy intake (eating) and energy expenditure (metabolic rate).
