Total Metabolic Analysis

There’s a moment in every fitness journey when a person realizes something powerful:

“It’s not about losing weight. It’s not about looking better. It’s about staying alive longer — and living better while I’m here.”

If you’ve ever felt that shift, you’re already on the path to something Peter Attia calls “the Centenarian Decathlon” — training not just for today, but for the version of you who still wants to be strong, mobile, and independent at 80, 90, even 100 years old. And here’s the truth he emphasizes, backed by a mountain of research:

"Exercise isn’t just good for you. It is the single most powerful longevity drug we have."—Dr. Peter Attia

But exercise alone isn’t enough. Not if you’re training blind. Not if you're guessing. Not if you’re using the wrong intensity, the wrong nutrition, or the wrong metrics. That’s exactly why Aspire Athletic Club is launching something that will fundamentally change the way you train.

THE TOTAL METABOLIC ANALYSIS

Aspire’s new gold-standard assessment for health, longevity, and performance. For the first time ever, everyday people in the Capital Region can get the same level of testing used by professional athletes, elite military units, and longevity researchers. This isn’t a “fitness assessment.” It’s not a “body comp check.” And it’s definitely not just a “calorie estimate.”

It’s a full diagnostic scan of the engine that keeps you alive — your metabolism, your heart, and your body’s ability to use energy.

What’s Included in Aspire’s Total Metabolic Analysis?

1. VO₂ Max Testing: The #1 Predictor of Longevity

Most people think strength is what keeps you alive longer.It helps — but cardiorespiratory fitness is king.

A higher VO₂ max = a longer life.Lower VO₂ max = dramatically higher risk of disease and early mortality.

Your VO₂ max tells us:

• How efficiently your body uses oxygen

• How strong and healthy your cardiovascular system really is

• Your “fitness age” compared to your actual age

• What intensity you should be training at to improve

This one test alone puts you miles ahead of 99% of people in the gym.

2. Body Composition Scan: The Truth Behind the Scale

Two people can weigh 200 lbs — one is healthy, one is at risk.

Body fat.Lean mass.Visceral fat.Muscle distribution.

These numbers matter for your metabolism, your hormones,

your risk of diabetes, and your long-term mobility.

Our new technology gives you medical-grade accuracy, showing exactly what your body is made of —

and what needs to change.

3. Resting Metabolic Rate: The Key to Sustainable Fat Loss

Most people think they’re overeating… when the truth is, they’re undereating for their metabolism.

Your RMR test reveals:

• How many calories your body actually burns each day

• If you're in metabolic efficiency or metabolic slowdown

• Whether your body is primed for fat loss or storing fat

• If you need a dietitian referral (which we now offer!)

This is the blueprint for every nutrition plan moving forward.

4. Functional Movement Screen: How Well Does Your Body Actually Move?

You can have strength.You can have endurance.But if your movement patterns are broken, you’re one rep away from an injury.

We assess:

• Squat

• Lunge

• Hinge

• Push

• Pull

• Core

• Mobility (hips, shoulders, ankles)

This tells us exactly what your training SHOULD look like — and what needs correcting first.

Why This Testing Matters Now More Than Ever

People aren’t dying from freak accidents.They’re dying from:

Poor cardiovascular health

Low muscle mass

Metabolic dysfunction 

Preventable diseases

The biggest risk factor isn’t age — it’s fitness level.

Peter Attia says it clearly:

"Being unfit increases your risk of death more than smoking." Read that again.

This is why Aspire is investing in technology that even most medical facilities don’t have. This is why every new client will go through this testing. This is why this matters for YOU.

Because the future version of you — the parent, grandparent, athlete, leader, or role model — depends on the work you do now.
