What Our Clients Are Saying
“I recently had my VO2 Max and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) tested with Amy Glaser-Carpenter, and the experience was incredibly valuable. The process was professional, efficient, and gave me deep insight into how my body functions during exercise and at rest. The VO2 Max test helped me understand my cardiovascular fitness and set realistic goals for endurance training.”
“The BMR results were especially helpful because I’m a dedicated calorie counter. I was shocked to find that most online calculators had my daily calorie goal off by nearly 400 calories. Having accurate, personalized data has completely changed how I approach my nutrition and has made my tracking much more effective.”
“Amy’s office is a great, comfortable setting that immediately puts you at ease. She walks you through each step and provides clear, thoughtful explanations of your results. The detailed analysis and personalized feedback were far beyond what I expected.”
“I left feeling empowered with actionable information that’s already making a difference in how I train and fuel my body. I highly recommend Amy’s services to anyone serious about optimizing their health and fitness.”
