S.Ma.R.T.-EX Training System
Our proprietary S.Ma.R.T.-EX system delivers maximum metabolic benefits through slow resistance training. This 15-minute twice-weekly program uses controlled movements to temporary muscle failure, proven to build 8lbs lean muscle while losing 10lbs fat. Developed over 50 years of clinical research, it's ideal for all fitness levels seeking efficient body transformation.
Body Composition Analysis
Using the Cosmed Bodpod gold standard technology, we provide precise measurements of lean tissue versus body fat. This dry, non-invasive method surpasses traditional hydrostatic testing by maintaining patient comfort while delivering accurate data for personalized fitness planning and progress tracking.
Metabolic Rate Testing
Our PNOE metabolic testing determines exact resting calorie expenditure. This breath analysis technology helps create personalized nutrition plans that preserve muscle mass during weight loss, preventing the 50/50 muscle-fat loss typically associated with calorie restriction alone.
Video Seminars
Interactive video seminars teach Dr. Ben's SMaRT Plan principles directly from the creator. These sessions cover proper exercise form, nutritional strategies, and metabolic optimization techniques, providing accessible expert guidance for individuals implementing the program remotely.
Medically Managed Weight Loss
Our comprehensive approach combines prescription medication therapy with supervised exercise and nutritional counseling. This medically supervised program ensures safe, sustainable weight loss while maintaining muscle mass through personalized metabolic analysis and tailored fitness regimens.
