This Package Includes

RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate)

This study can enhance your efforts to achieve and sustain a lean, healthy body. Any weight-loss struggles you’re experiencing may be related to your resting metabolic rate, or RMR. Your RMR is the number of calories your body naturally burns every day with little or no activity. If your RMR is 1,800 calories, you’d lose weight on a 1,500-calorie diet. But if your RMR is 1,300 calories, you’d gain weight, unless you’re exercising every day. This is why set-calorie diets, like a 1,500-calorie diet, don’t work for many of us. Until now, getting your RMR was costly and available only at research hospitals. But now, convenient and affordable testing is at Pritikin. With the results, our dietitians and exercise experts can tailor the Pritikin Program to your body.

BME (Biomechanical + Musculoskeletal Evaluation)

BME, a service in high demand at Pritikin, can greatly help in establishing an exercise program for you that is both sustainable and effective. It also assists in increasing the number of calories you burn during exercise, which puts you on a faster track to a leaner, healthier body. Conducted by our ultra-specialized exercise physiologists, the BME also tailors your exercise program to your specific physical capacities so that you can work out without injury – and without pain.

Your BME includes a complete evaluation of your posture, alignment, gait, muscle strength, range of motion, flexibility, and any pain or discomfort you feel in your daily activities. You’ll then receive personalized exercise instruction based on your unique needs. Your physiologist will also make sure you’re performing every exercise correctly.

DEXA Body Composition Scan – The Medical Gold Standard

Far more important than what you weigh is what your body is made of, particularly your amount of muscle mass and fat tissue. The DEXA Body Composition Scan calculates your percentage of lean muscle and body fat in multiple areas of your body. Gaining muscle and losing body fat can greatly enhance your weight-loss efforts because the more lean muscle you have, the more calories you burn. More muscle mass also means you look better – leaner, fitter, more toned – regardless of what the bathroom scale says.

Personal Exercise Training

In three one-hour private sessions, your trainer will help you develop – and teach you step by step – an exercise plan designed specifically for you, which helps ensure that you’re getting the best returns for your efforts. Your trainer will also devise the optimal home exercise plan for you, designed to help you achieve lifelong success.

DEXA Bone Density Testing

Osteoporosis (bone loss) can lead to fractures, such as hip fractures and spinal fractures, and significant bone deformity. The heartening news is that bone loss can be assessed simply and painlessly with DEXA Bone Density Testing, the most advanced assessment of bone strength. You and your physician will take steps to treat any osteoporosis found before you’re at risk of fracture. You will also learn how to prevent bone loss, and possibly even re-build bone.

Lifestyle Coaching

During your private one-hour session, our Director of Behavioral Health and Wellness will help you develop the skills and ideal mind-set for maintaining your new healthy habits at home. This life-changing session will identify your areas of challenge, establish goals, instill motivation, and show you how to develop support on the home front. You will learn how to stay on track with Pritikin living wherever life leads you.
