Metatec is a division of TechEd Consultants, Inc that specializes in human performance testing for individuals and athletes. We are a team of respiratory therapists who combined have over 100 years of experience to bring to the table. During this time, we have developed strong quality systems and believe that everyone deserves the best quality test available, it’s our passion. Metatec believes that the combination of high quality testing and data can help athletes achieve new levels of performance and help to avoid injury or over-training. While Metatec believes a strong training program is important, we also believe understanding how your body responds to exercise and how to tailor your program around your individual needs is vital. This is why Metatec’s foundation and core services are built solely on providing high quality testing for each individual.
Our Vision
Our vision at Metatec is to help individuals reach their personal fitness goals by providing them with the best quality exercise testing in the industry.

Meet the Team
Jason Blonshine
Jason Blonshine loves all things fitness and respiratory! With an extensive background in Respiratory Therapy and Pulmonary Function, Jason has been in the patient care industry since 2005 and brings a wealth of knowledge to serving Metatec’s clients. He has done everything from transcription, data entry, data review, patient review, project management, equipment validation, on-site training, equipment troubleshooting, monitoring, budget/proposals, and NIOSH spirometry training.
One thing that Jason loves most about this industry is the wide spectrum of directions one can take with a specialty in respiratory, which is what has allowed him to start Metatec. In working at Metatec, Jason has found that no two days are the same. Some days he will be working on exercise testing and fitness and the next day he might be flying to another country to validate equipment. One thing that never changes though, is his passion for what he does and the people he meets along the way.
On the weekend, you can find Jason spending time with his family enjoying the outdoors – hopefully by the water! Jason has a goal to be able to run a marathon within the next 16 months using the testing data from Metatec. Additionally, Jason is actively involved in his church, Compassion International, local nonprofits and soup kitchens, and last but not least, the Capital Area Humane Society (sounds like someone has a soft spot for animals!)
Abby Blonshine
Abby Blonshine has a passion for health and wellbeing. With an 18+ year background working in the financial industry in Information Technology and Human Resources, she found a love working with people, providing health and benefit support, customer experience and offering a holistic approach of wellbeing. During her time in Human Resources, Abby helped create wellbeing solutions and was able to take her passion with her to Metatec. Experience includes a Bachelor of Science and Administration from Central Michigan University (Fire Up Chips!), a Precision Nutrition 1 Certification and has a personal training certificate through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
When Abby is away from Metatec, she enjoys running, lifting weights and walking her boxer Reuben. A wife of over 17 years, and a mom of two, she keeps busy attending her kids cross country meets and running around the state of Michigan attending club soccer practices and games. Speaking of club soccer, she was given the role of team manager for both her kids soccer teams - talk about busy! Abby also enjoys the water and sunshine, especially her little piece of paradise on Higgins Lake, and during the colder months finding a snowy hill to ski. Both Abby and her husband (Jason) enjoy being outdoors, being active, traveling and have a goal to sail around the world.
Abby will be your first line of support at Metatec, from inquiry, to scheduling, answering questions and follow-up. She welcomes you and is excited about every customer who walks in the door. You will find her passionate about your journey and a cheerleader for your success!
