Sports Nutrition
Fuel smarter. Perform stronger. Individualized using YOUR data. At The Gait Lab, sports nutrition goes beyond guesswork. Lead by board certified specialist in sports dietetics (CSSD), Rebecca Rick, we combine sweat sodium testing and metabolic cart analysis to give you precise, individualized fueling strategies. From race-day execution to daily training, you’ll understand exactly what your body needs—and how to deliver it when it matters most.
What testing can do for you:
understand your unique sodium level to understand hydration and electrolyte needs during exercise
fuel according to your carb burning during race efforts to not under-fuel or over-fuel leading to gut distress
For anyone who has struggled with fueling during endurance events:
these tests are for you!
Sweat Sodium Composition Testing
Athletes often overlook hydration and electrolyte strategy—until race day exposes it. The result: gut issues, sloshy stomachs, and performance drop-offs. But hydration isn’t one-size-fits-all. At The Gait Lab, we use medical-grade testing from Precision Fuel & Hydration to measure your unique sweat sodium concentration in a simple 20–25 minute, non-exercise test.
From there, we translate your data into clear, practical strategies—helping you adjust for sweat rate, environment, and training demands—so you can fuel and hydrate with confidence when it matters most.
Length of test: 60 min includes test, consultation, and individualized report and recommendations: $225
Metabolic testing
The Baseline Test: Learn how much fat and carb your body burns at various training efforts to get a personalized fueling plan for your endurance training and competition. Length of appointment: 90 minutes, includes test, consultation, and individualized report and recommendations. Investment: $499
Race day simulation: See how your body uses fat and carb to support your race day pacing efforts and dial in your race day fueling plan accordingly. This test can be modified for ultra and multi-day events for better insight into what your body uses for fuel deeper into a race. Length of appointment: 90 minutes, includes test, consultation, and individualized report and recommendations. Investment: $499
RMR testing: learn your current resting metabolic rate (RMR) and understand how to build a daily nutrition plan that supports your health, performance, and recovery goals. This can be useful for athletes recovering from an injury, those with changes in training volume, or individuals experiencing unexpected weight fluctuations. Length of appointment: 90 minutes, includes test + consultation. Investment: $250 | Test only (no consultation): 45 minutes, $150
