INTRODUCING THE METABOLIC INSTITUTE AT THE MAC
Understanding your metabolism is critical to achieving your personal fitness goals. Everyone’s response to exercise is unique, so in order to achieve the best results, it’s important to know the correct exercise intensity that will provide the optimum sustainable burn of fat and calories and overall fitness.

A Metabolic Exercise assessment eliminates the guesswork that defeats most diet, exercise and training programs. Three specific packages are available:

1. Weight Loss
2. General Health & Fitness
3. Athletic Training Programs

• Understand how your body responds to exercise
• Learn your fitness level compared to others your age
• Know the correct heart rate exercise intensity to maximize your caloric and fat burn
• Lose weight and inches
• Improve your cardio fitness and athletic performance
• Avoid "over-training"
