More than 67 million American have high blood pressure, and it’s estimated that people with high blood pressure are four times more likely to die from stroke and three times more likely to die from heart disease, in comparison with those who have normal blood pressure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is committed to preventing one million hearts attacks and strokes by 2017.

February is American Heart Month, and DASHA® is committed to helping you enhance your well-being®. One of the most important things you can do to lower your blood pressure is to get more physical activity. Incorporating more physical activity into your routine can be challenging when you are also juggling the work and family demands of a busy schedule. Using CardioCoach Plus Technology, DASHA® can design a plan that will work with your body’s unique chemistry to help you to achieve success in your fitness, weight loss and health goals.
At our Flagship location, DASHA® offers metabolic testing that measures your Peak VO2, anaerobic threshold, and the precise amount of calories your body is able to burn at all exercise heart rate levels. RMR Testing measures your rate of metabolism, calculates individual daily caloric needs and is used to determine precisely how many calories you may eat each day and still lose weight. Peak VO2 is the maximum amount of oxygen consumed by the body during exercise. When we test for it, we are able to determine target heart rate zones and create a personalized exercise regimen for optimum training and results. We can also test for your anaerobic threshold (AT), the maximum exercise intensity level at which your body can supply oxygen to your muscles. DASHA® uses the information it collects from these tests as the foundation to customize our athletic or personal training and weight loss packages that will actually work for your body.
