Performance Lab

Now in partnership with the City Club at River Ranch, the Henry Performance Lab is ready to serve you even better than ever. The Henry Performance Lab offers a program of scientific testing that can help anyone get into the best shape of their life. Whether you are an average person who wants to improve your fitness and overall health, an elite athlete looking to take your workouts to the next level, or someone with chronic health problems and limited stamina – the Henry Performance Lab can help you reach your fitness goals.

Founded by Dr. Henry and managed by Jheri Turnley, the lab offers a program called the VO₂ Fitness Analysis. The VO₂ Fitness Analysis utilizes a series of tests to determine your level of overall health, gage your optimal training zones and define your nutritional needs. Your personal medical history is also taken into consideration at the time of testing. After you undergo analysis, Dr. Henry and his staff develop an individual exercise prescription and nutritional guidelines that will bring you maximum physical fitness results. Both Dr. Henry and Mrs. Turnley are Certified Health Fitness Specialists through the American College of Sports Medicine and both bring a wealth of knowledge to those interested in fitness / wellness / performance training and nutritional guidance.

In addition, the lab provides you with comprehensive education for achieving and maintaining fitness, improving performance and preventing injuries. We’re here to help you take more of an interest in your health, feel positive about your lifestyle and develop a long term exercise plan that will keep you as fit as possible throughout your life. The bottom line is, if you tell us what your goals are we can help you get there.

In addition to the work Dr. Henry is doing in the Henry Performance Lab, he is also actively participating as the lead consultant for workers' safety monitoring, medical weight loss exercise programs, and thoroughbred horse racing in this region to prevent injuries on the job, during exercise, and in competition.

The Henry Performance Lab Offers:

VO₂ EXERCISE ANALYSIS
Based on your goals, an exercise test is performed while monitoring the oxygen consumption (VO₂) of the muscle tissue along with the heart rate response.

EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
Scientific analysis of your exercise test and VO₂/Heart Rate relationship allows Dr. Henry and his staff to prescribe an exercise program centered around precise heart rate zones individualized for your goals and current level of fitness. This helps to insure that you exercise at the level you need to burn fat, build muscle or meet whatever your particular fitness goals may be. As your fitness improves repeat testing is suggested in 3-6 months.

LACTATE MEASUREMENTS
Lactate measurements are available upon request.

“There is no magic pill that can take away all your health problems. At the Performance Lab, we advise you about how your own body has the capacity to heal itself with the assistance of effective tools for exercise and nutrition; simple priorities, simple tasks, simple routines that will help you achieve your fitness, health and sports activity goals without increasing your risk of injury or bodily harm. We’re here to help people improve their health and physical fitness the right way in the short-term and for the long-term.”
