A Sweat Analysis is an evaluation of the composition of your sweat. You’ll learn the sodium concentration and volume of your sweat, and consult with our performance physiologists on how to optimize your unique hydration strategy. For example, someone who loses more sodium may need to consume more electrolytes to prevent cramping and maintain endurance, as well as to feel good while performing.
We place a patch on your arm. Then, you run, bike, or do another appropriate exercise for approximately 60 minutes to generate sweat. The patch is then removed and analyzed, which takes about 1-2 minutes. Following the test, you’ll have a 30 minute consultation with a Master’s-level performance physiologist about your unique results and how to improve them.
Your sweat reacts to climate conditions, so we recommend testing seasonally, or consulting with a performance physiologist if you’ll be exercising in a different climate from where you are testing.
This test is good for anyone who wants to feel their best, and especially beneficial for endurance athletes as it provides a clear picture of personal hydration needs, allowing for more effective training and recovery and enhancing overall athletic performance.
We are 100% insurance-free — that means transparent pricing and no surprises. Depending on your plan, you may be able to pay with an HSA or FSA or submit your receipt for reimbursement.
The test itself takes 60 minutes, followed by a 30 minute data review with a performance physiologist to go over the results together.
