The VO2 Max Test.
More than a number.

One session on a bike or treadmill that tells you more about your body than years of training guesswork.

See the test in action

“This is exactly what a session looks like. You can see how the data builds up in real time and why the number at the end is just the beginning of what we learn.”

Here's what happens during the test

You’ll run or ride at progressively harder efforts while wearing a mask that measures exactly what your body is doing. How much O2 (Oxygen) you’re taking in, how much CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) you’re producing, how your heart rate responds and where your fat to carb crossover point is. I track this across every step of the test. The result is a picture of your physiology that no watch or fitness tracker can give you.

Standard Report

Every VO2 Max test includes this as standard. It’s already more detailed than most people have ever had.
