What our athletes are saying…

“My entire experience with Aaron throughout this process has been seamless. It is obvious that he is professionally trained, very detail oriented and focused in on results. Aaron is process driven and his approach is backed by science and experience, that is why he has my full trust as a competitive endurance athlete..”

Frank Dejulius

Owner, Fleet Feet Cincinnati

“Aaron developed a training plan that met my fitness level and lifestyle. His training programs are not only backed by his years as an athlete, they are backed by science. Aaron stays up to date on the current research and uses this to guided his training and nutritional plans. With this combination his plan got me to a level of fitness that I didn’t think I was still capable.”

Scott Fox

Triathlete

“I’ve been amazed week after week working with Aaron’s responsiveness, I frequently feel like the only athlete he’s coaching. He keeps the workouts interesting and engaging (particularly in 2020). It seems like every week he has a new workout to try. Under Aaron’s coaching, I have seen improvements in all 3 disciplines while maintaining health.

I cannot say enough good things about Aaron and his coaching techniques. His holistic approach to coaching takes all life’s stressors into account before adding the stress of a workout. I’ve made more gains under his guidance than I thought possible and would highly recommend him to anyone.”

Vo2 Max Test

  • This metabolic test is an excellent indicator of cardiovascular fitness, the number one indicator of health. Individuals with higher VO2 max values can tolerate higher exercise intensity and volume than those whose VO2 max values indicate lower levels of conditioning. Those with higher VO2 can also recover from an aerobic work more efficiently. VO2 Max Testing is great for those whose goals range from longevity and health optimization to athletic performance, as it can give training, recovery, and nutritional recommendations based on your individualized needs.

  • • VO2 Max (Oxygen Uptake)

    • VCO2 (Carbon Dioxide Production)

    • VE (Ventilatory Equivalents)

    • RER (Respiratory Exchange Ratio)

    • Fat/Carb Burn Training Zones

    • Cardio-Respiratory Efficiency

  • The test is typically performed on a treadmill or bike, however, sport-specific tracking is available upon request.

    Dietary, exercise and medication restrictions do exist in the hours leading up to this test. PiS coaches will provide more details prior to your test date.

    This is a maximum exertion test, be sure you’re able to perform the test safely by getting medical clearance from your primary care physician!

Resting Metabolic Rate Test

  • Resting metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burns energy when it is at complete rest. At Howell Rehab Center, we use RMR testing to see how many calories your body needs to perform basic functions like breathing and other bodily functions. Just like we have our own one-of-a-kind fingerprint, our metabolism is also unique. Metabolism is the measure of how well your cellular health is. It gives insight into how much fat you burn, if you are metabolically flexible, and the status of your mitochondrial health. RMR Testing allows you key insights into your own metabolism and can match your individualized metabolism to certain nutritional suggestions.

  • • See how efficient your body is at converting food to energy

    • Learn more about your own metabolism, and how many calories your body burns daily

    • Feed your body in a way that achieves your goals and conquer plateaus.

  • The test is typically performed laying down or in a chair.

    Exercise restrictions exist in the 24 hours leading up to this test. Fasting is required 6 hours prior to test time (water allowed) and taking prescribed medications is acceptable. PiS coaches will provide more details leading up to your test date. Scheduling for early mornings (before 10am) is encouraged for this test.
