AUM Metabolic Assessment
AUM Metabolic Assessment
Private Coaching, Strength, & Longevity at AUM
If you’re searching for metabolic testing in Boston, you’re asking the right question.
The AUM Metabolic Assessment uses the PNOE clinical breath analysis system to measure exactly how your body produces and uses energy — your VO₂ max, true training zones, and fat-burning rate — in a single session at our Back Bay studio.
No estimates. No guesswork. Real data.

Metabolic Testing in Boston Built Around Your Physiology
Most fitness programs are built on assumptions. They assume how your body burns fuel, what intensity is right for you, and how you should be training.
The AUM Metabolic Assessment removes every assumption.
Using the PNOE breath analysis system, we measure your metabolism directly — so your program is built on your actual data, not a generic template. Whether your goal is fat loss, performance, or long-term health, precision always outperforms guesswork.
What the AUM Metabolic Assessment Includes
The assessment goes beyond a single number. Every session produces a complete metabolic picture — and a clear path forward.
VO₂ Max Measurement
Your maximum oxygen uptake, measured directly via PNOE breath analysis. One of the strongest predictors of long-term health, longevity, and cardiovascular performance.
Personalized Training Zones
Precise heart rate zones derived from your actual thresholds — not age-based formulas. Tells you exactly what intensity builds aerobic capacity, burns fat, or drives peak output.
Fat Oxidation Rate
Identifies the specific intensity at which your body burns fat most efficiently. Critical for body composition and endurance — and unique to every individual.
Results Review with Your Coach
Every assessment includes a structured debrief. You leave understanding your numbers, what they mean, and exactly how your training should respond to them.
The assessment goes beyond a single number. Every session produces a complete metabolic picture — and a clear path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AUM Metabolic Assessment?
A professional cardiorespiratory evaluation using the PNOE breath analysis system. It directly measures your VO₂ max, training zones, fat oxidation rate, and metabolic thresholds during progressive exercise.
How long does it take?
The full appointment is 30–45 minutes. The exercise test runs 10–15 minutes, with setup and a full results review with your coach on either side.
What equipment is used?
Testing is performed on a stationary bike, rowing machine, or step protocol — depending on your fitness background and goals.
How is this different from my smartwatch?
Wearables estimate VO₂ max using algorithms and population averages. PNOE directly measures your oxygen consumption breath by breath. The accuracy difference is significant — especially for training zone precision.
Do I need to be an AUM client to book?
No. The assessment is available as a standalone service to anyone who wants a precise metabolic baseline.
Is this only for athletes?
No. It’s for anyone who wants to train with accurate data — whether you’re an endurance athlete, a busy professional, or an adult over 40 focused on long-term health.
How often should I retest?
Every 8–12 weeks gives the clearest picture of progress while keeping your training zones current as your fitness improves.
