Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the amount of energy (calories) your body burns while at rest. It is one the three components of your total metabolic rate, comprising of 70 percent of your body’s daily energy expenditure. The RMR test is a simple, non-invasive test. Before the test you should be fasting for at least 6 hours and well relaxed. During the test you will be lying in a comfortable chair and breathing into tube that is connected to RMR technology and a computer. The computer captures and analyzes Oxygen & CO2 output data from the RMR tech to measure the rate at which you consume energy in a resting state to determine your RMR. From this data the technician can then calculate how many calories you personally burn on daily basis (caloric intake) which is very helping information in diet and exercise planning. Besides RMR, the testing also provides your respiratory quotient (RQ). This value shows you what percentage of the your metabolism you burn in terms of carbohydrates vs. Fat. This can help you and your dietitian determine if more of your calories should come from carbs or fat. Measuring changes in RMR over time can also be very helpful in making adjustments to diet and exercise plans that align with your specific goals.

Hive Therapy Health & Fitness is partnered with Trever Lojka, NASM, CPT, PES who is a NASM Certified Trainer with Performance Enhancement Specialization to conduct VO2 Max Testing here at Hive. V02 max refers to how much oxygen your body can absorb and use during exercise, and is a excellent way to measure cardiovascular health and overall health. As you breath in oxygen your lungs turn it into energy which powers your cells to help release carbon dioxide when you exhale. Throughout the testing, the VO2 max equipment accurately measures the mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide that you exhale while keeping tract of your heart rate increase. The greater your VO2 Max, the more oxygen your body can consume and convert to energy.
Top athletes already use VO2 Max and now Hive Therapy is making this technology available to the general public for a variety purposes beyond just athletic performance. VO2 Max is way to determine cardiorespiratory fitness in anyone at any level, and gives medical professionals a powerful tool in analyzing heart and lung health.

Hive Therapy is partnered with InsideOut Hyperbaric + Wellness to provide a discount off their oxygen therapy sales & services as well as support and health education for use of hyperbaric chambers at Hive. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for a wide variety of treatments. It works through the pressure to allow oxygen to dissolve into the body’s plasma, central nervous system, lymphatic system, and bones. Oxygen is also carried to areas where circulation is diminished or blocked, allowing it to reach damaged tissue and support the body’s healing process. Increased oxygen greatly enhances the ability of the white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduces swelling, and accelerates growth of the new blood vessels in the affected areas. It is a simple, non-invasive, and painless treatment.
Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to enhance athletic training has also been proven to be highly effective by professional athletes, such as 28-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps, and NFL athletes like James Harrison of the Pittsburg Steelers. Benefits include increased stem cell production by 8 times, increased collagen production, increased cellular energy, increased cardiovascular performance, reduced inflammation and pain, and reduced recovery time.
Members of Hive Therapy can receive a discount off hyperbaric therapy by showing their Hive membership access card and can also get a 50% discount off the InBody 770 Composition Analyzer.
