Metabolic Strength

Metabolic Strength is a structured approach to building muscle, improving metabolic health, and supporting long-term physical resilience through progressive strength training.

 

Muscle is one of the strongest predictors of metabolic health, healthy aging, and physical independence.

Programs are available virtually and in person in Needham, Massachusetts.

Metabolic Movement Assessment

All new participants begin with a Metabolic Strength Assessment.

This a 60-minute session which allows Linda Abel to evaluate movement patterns, review body composition, discuss your health goals, and guide you toward the most appropriate strength training program.

The assessment includes:

  • wellness vision creation
  • body composition analysis
  • structured movement screening
  • sample strength workout
  • personalized training recommendations
 

Metabolic Strength Assessment — $150

Body Composition Testing

Some Metabolic Strength clients choose to obtain a baseline DEXA body composition scan before beginning their program.

A DEXA scan measures body fat, lean muscle mass, and bone density. This information can help establish a baseline and quantify changes in body composition over time.

DEXA scans are available through a provider we collaborate with in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Strength Training & GLP-1 Medications

Strength training is especially important for individuals using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound.

 

Rapid weight loss can sometimes lead to muscle loss along with fat loss. Preserving muscle helps maintain metabolic rate, support long-term weight stability, and protect bone health.

 

Metabolic Strength programs are designed to help individuals maintain and build muscle while improving metabolic health.
