Whether
you are looking to loose weight or increase peformance, metabolic
testing can help you reach your goals. Our resting metabolic
rate tests rates your metabolism and gives you a gauge of how
many calories per day that you need to maintain or lose weight.
Our VO2 - anaerobic threshold tests let you know your true heart
rate zones to get the most out of your fat burning ability while
you do your cardio workouts. Runners and cyclists can also take
their sport and racing to the next level by getting heart rate
zones to help with realistic heart rate training goals. Check
out the links below for more info about both tests and call
us at 713-523-2577 if you have questions about testing and how
it can benefit your fitness goals.

Merlino Fitness world headquarters is located
in the great City of Houston, Texas, otherwise
know as Space City and home of NASA. This
is one great town if you can stand the heat
and humidity. Houston has an international
flare with some of the best food in the world.
That may explain why Men's Health rated it
the fattest city in the United States for
three years in a row. As a personal fitness
trainer, that means great job security. All
kidding
aside,
there is always something to do in this vast
city. From the Galleria to the Kemah Boardwalk
to the Gulf coast city of Galveston, Houston
has much to offer and some of the friendliest
people in the world. If you plan on visiting
our fair city, check out the links below
for what is happening deep in the heart of
Texas.
