For those of you that had this done, how did you find a provider? I've done some google searches but no luck. Thanks.

    I had a Bod Pod test done. Very accurate. No radiation. There's a locator on their website in bright orange: http://www.cosmed.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1364&Itemid=420

    Do you mind if I asked what you paid for the bod pod?

    I paid $75 for the Bod Pod and $150 for RMR testing. However, this was at our university health system and they're expensive. A more typical price for Bod Pod testing is $50.

    Thank you. I'm not sure that I would pay for the RMR testing, as I have that at my gym (MetaCheck Breathe Test). Also, it's my understanding that RMR testing with the bod pod is simply punching in the BF% obtain from the bod pod into the various calculations that are out there (meaning I could do it myself). Not sure if my understanding is correct, but I've read that a number of time.
