Welcome to Metatest!
The Best way to lose weight and get fit!
 Our goal at Metatest is to help you make smart nutritional and training choices. These smart nutritional choices include not only your daily eating but also your training and racing nutrition. Whether you are an accomplished athlete or someone trying to change their body image, you can always benefit from the knowledge that metabolic testing will give you. Anyone who has dieted and trained knows that guessing can be very frustrating. At Metatest, we remove the guess work and give you facts that will help map out your training plan to achieve the positive results that you are looking for. Having these facts about your nutritional requirements can make the difference between achieving your goal or not.
Metatest was founded by Samantha and Jared Sweet. After losing 140lbs, Samantha became a triathlete and certified fitness trainer. Learning the science of metabolism, VO2 and body composition testing has changed her life and allowed her to achieve her goals.
Jared is triple certified in Wellness, Corporate Wellness, and
Lifestyle and Weight Management. Together, Samantha and her
husband, Jared, can teach you the science that they have learned and
lived to give you the facts that you need to succeed.
At Metatest we believe that meeting your goals includes:

Testimonial...
P.M. , Triathlete, Chicago, IL:
"Training for an Ironman takes a lot of time on the bike, on the road and in the pool. I work a full time job
and have kids so I squeeze in workouts where I can. Knowing my RMR, and my VO2 Max make it possible to reach my goals without any wasted workouts. Sam
is terrific with making my training schedule and explaining the tests
results, drills, and workouts. This is the biggest goal that I have this
year and Sam will get me there."

January 1, 2010:
Jared and Sam each qualified as ambassadors for GU Energy in 2010.
Gu is also sponsoring the new Sin City Endurance Group as the only
nutrition sponsor. With a full line of pre, post, and during
race nutrition products, Gu has agreed to support all of the members
of Sin City Endurance Group with discounted product and gear to help
everyone enjoy training and racing faster and longer. They are
a great company of great people who understand the mentality and
needs of an athlete. The new Jet Blackberry Flavor was a big
hit with the group but Mint Chocolate is still the best for Jared!
Please follow the link below to learn more about Gu Energy Products
and how they can work best for you.

The Inaugural Rock N Roll marathon is over and Jared set another PR
in the 26.2 mile race despite the cold weather and odd aid station
configuration. It was a great day for the Metatest team with
the entire training group finishing the race and many participants
setting personal best times. Congrats to our friend Randy Paar
or RP Multisport for posting a 1:27 in the half and rockin in the
top 10% of the race. Another year ending with a good hometown
race!! Thanks Gu for the great assortment of Gels and
generosity for the training group.
November 8, 2009: Samantha
and Jared teamed up to complete the Silverman Relay. This race
is known for being the hardest full Ironman distance course in the
United States. It was a beautiful day and Sam kicked it off
with an early morning 2.4 mile swim with a few hundred other
athletes in Lake Mead. She quickly swam a 1:10 and was out of
the water in the front pack and passed the timing chip to our
cyclist who was a previous trainee on the Metatest cycling program.
Jared took off on the grueling marathon run at 4:00PM. He set
a 7 minute PR on the toughest course he has ever ran.
Congratulations to the Metatest team for being Silvermen. Look
out 2010 for the Ironman relay circuit because this Metatest team
will hit it hard!
August 31, 2009:
August brought about many great changes for the Metatest staff.

Our very own Jared Sweet had his name and picture published in the
July edition of Ultra Running magazine for his effort in the Labor
of Love 50k in Las Vegas. It was a fun run even though it was
a tough uphill with odd Las Vegas weather. It actually snowed
in the canyon for a couple of miles of the race. It was
Jared's first trail effort and it proved as challenging as the Race
Director of Calico Racing
billed it. Keep running Jared, we are proud of you!
June 13, 2009:
Samantha Sweet from the Metatest staff just completed the Ironman
70.3 in Boise, ID. Sam was 40 when she first starting working
toward her dram of being an Ironman competitor. Now at 43 she
has completed half of that dream with the other half to be reached
when she finishes the Ironman Saint George in early 2010. She
is accomplishing this goal with a lot of hard work and a lot of
introspection into her self both physically and mentally. Sam
credits the scientific information that she learned from the Vo2,
RMR, and body comp tests for being able to get to her goals this
quickly. For more about Samantha and her accomplishments
please visit her blog at
Sam's Blog.
Congratulations Sam, we are all very proud of you!
May 16 & 17, 2009:
The Metatest staff hosted a Vo2 Max testing clinic at
Mcghies Bike Store on Fort Apache
and Flamingo in Las Vegas. Many cyclists are curious to know
how they rank against other cyclists in Vo2 ratings. Other
cyclists want to know more about how to improve their own enjoyment
in cycling by becoming faster or being able to ride longer. At
clinics like this one we can reach those curious cyclists and give
them the help that they need. Thanks to McGhies for hosting
this event and look for another event like this in 2 months.
April 30, 2009:
The Metatest staff attended the Trek Ladies Night Out at
Mcghies Bike Store on Fort Apache
and Flamingo in Las Vegas. Over 100 ladies showed their
support for cycling and attended the all female event. The
staff of Metatest spoke with many people interested in improving
their cycling performance and body compositions. It was a great
event and we look forward to doing this one next year.
