Only four personal trainers in the state of Iowa have the key to weight management " Metabolic Testing " and one of them is Justin D. Snyder, owner/operator of Simply Fit LLC, a private personal training service in Des Moines.

"Knowing your metabolism is the key to unlocking your fitness potential and weight management," says Justin Snyder, a fitness solutions specialist. "When you know your metabolism, or how many calories your body burns, and you eat to it, you'll maintain more muscle and lose more fat."

Snyder says Metabolic Testing stops the guesswork with exact science. Metabolic Testing measures what you burn and then calculates how you should eat to your rate. Your RMR " resting metabolic rate " is measured and helps calculate how many calories you burn in one day and during moderate exercise. With this information, you can determine your Maintenance Zone and Weight Loss Zone.

Snyder says he is able to use the Metabolic Testing results to construct weight management plans that facilitate successful weight loss, muscle gain, and maintenance goals. You can improve your metabolic rate with an active lifestyle and by increasing muscle mass, which is only achieved through resistance training, Snyder says.

Snyder, who has a bachelor's degree in exercise science and is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association, started Simply Fit two years ago. Snyder plans to keep the Metabolic Testing machine active by performing tests in his personal training studio and at area businesses and residences.

"I started my business due to a passion for enhancing peoples lives through physical health and fitness. The quality of our lives is significantly affected by how healthy we are, and how much energy and stamina we possess. I want to help people unlock their potential by empowering them with the knowledge that is necessary to make a remarkable transformation," Snyder says. "I've seen people struggle to lose or maintain weight and physical health. Metabolic Testing is an important tool to help them fight that fight."
