VO₂ Max Testing
Measure your aerobic capacity.
Train smarter.
Unlock your performance potential.
VO₂ max testing is the gold standard for evaluating cardiovascular fitness. Using lab-grade metabolic testing and respiratory analysis, we measure how your body takes in, transports, and utilizes oxygen — so you can train in the right zones, improve endurance, and track progress over time.
Key Benefits
Maximize Endurance
Identify your true aerobic capacity and improve stamina.
Train Smarter
Get precise training zones tailored to your physiology.
Optimize Energy Use
Understand how your body uses carbs and fat for fuel.
Track Progress
Measure improvements over time with objective data.
Personalized Guidance
Receive actionable recommendations to reach your goals.
What We Measure
VO₂ Max
Your maximum aerobic capacity and oxygen-use potential.
Aerobic Threshold
Where sustainable aerobic work begins to shift upward.
Anaerobic Threshold
Where high effort becomes harder to sustain.
Respiratory Exchange Ratio
How your body shifts between fat and carbohydrate use.
Heart Rate Response & Zones
How your cardiovascular system responds to increasing demand.
Calories & Fuel Use
Energy expenditure and substrate use across exercise intensity.
Who It’s For
Endurance Athletes
Runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, and anyone training for sustained output.
Hybrid & Tactical Athletes
For people balancing strength, conditioning, recovery, and real-world work capacity.
Fitness Enthusiasts
For anyone who wants clearer training zones and a more objective fitness baseline.
Fat-Loss & Conditioning Clients
Use intensity zones and fuel-use data to guide smarter cardio decisions.
Performance & Longevity
Track aerobic fitness as a meaningful marker of resilience and long-term health.
Baseline Testing
Establish your performance starting point.
