BodyGem Gives Trainers Real Metabolic Data in 10 Minutes
BodyGem is a portable indirect calorimeter that measures a client’s true resting metabolic rate (RMR), helping trainers build smarter nutrition strategies, break plateaus, and stand out in a crowded fitness market.
Train with data. Deliver better results.
Why “Calorie Estimates” Hold Clients Back
Most trainers rely on formulas that can be off by hundreds of calories per day.
That leads to:
- Weight-loss plateaus
- Clients “doing everything right” but not progressing
- Constant plan changes
- Frustration—and cancellations
BodyGem replaces guesswork with real numbers—so your programs finally match your client’s metabolism.

Your clients look to you for success
Their goals are as diverse as their needs. You know each of them needs a unique solution to reach their goals, but how do you profitably and conveniently provide it?
Introduce your clients to their Metabolic Fingerprint™
An accurate Metabolic Fingerprint (RMR) measurement provides the definitive answer when creating a personal program for each of your clients.

The BodyGem handheld calorimeter is a portable and profitable tool that gives you an accurate Metabolism Rate Test result in 10 minutes or less.
- Simple – To measure metabolic rate, your client simply breathes into the indirect calorimeter, which measures their oxygen consumption (VO2), the resulting RMR number is clearly displayed on the device’s LCD screen.
- Accurate – It has been validated against the gold standard Douglas Bag, and other commonly used metabolic carts (2,3,4)
- Convenient – It comes with a lightweight carrying case and is very portable, which lets you provide metabolic testing anywhere.
- Profitable – Providing metabolic testing helps you generate additional revenue, as the average measurement provider charges between $50-$75 for the metabolism test.

Offering BodyGem metabolic testing benefits your clients by:

- And when they get results, they begin an upward path of success, which changes their outlook on exercise and nutrition.
- It helps them avoid plateaus, as frequent testing allows them to adjust their caloric intake and eat the right amount of calories to meet their goals.
Offering BodyGem metabolic testing benefits you:
- When clients get results, they tend to stick with their programs and renew their contracts.
- They talk about their results – and your studio! – leading to a dynamic referral business.
- It helps you avoid cyclical changes due to seasonal and economic influences.
- BodyGem metabolism testing sets you apart from the competition, as the more services you provide your clients, the greater the resource you can be for their health and wellness needs.
