This was a fantastic experience. I've had a lot of trouble losing weight over the years. I've used MyFitnessPal to track *everything* I eat, but when it said I should have been losing 1.5 lbs a week, I was only losing 1/3rd of that at most. In comes the Fitness Institute. I heard they had an assessment to accurately measure your resting metabolic rate (How many calories you burn just staying alive, by breathing, heart beating, that sort of thing). Sounded perfect. I called to make an appointment, which was made by remarkably cheerful staff. They told me that the first assessment was 95(I have no association with UT), but that every assessment after that was only 80. I head in for my appointment and it's a super simple test. You relax in a super cozy recliner, and start breathing normally into a little device for about 10 minutes. The nose clips are a bit irritating, but not so bad. They ran the test 2 or 3 times depending on your results, to make sure it's as accurate as possible. As it turns out, I burn 500 calories a day less than the average man of my age/height/weight. That's roughly 1 lb a week. This test fully explains why I had so much trouble losing weight. It ends with your results being gone over and recommendations being given by a registered dietitian on staff. I believe it might be one of the only places in Austin that offers this test. It was definitely worth 95, and I will be back for their other fitness assessments as well. Highly recommend.
