VO2 Max Testing environment

Performance testing, translated into plain language

A structured, lab-style cardio assessment

VO2 max testing takes place in a controlled environment with continuous monitoring. You'll be guided through each stage of effort so you know what to expect, why it matters, and when you're reaching your limit.

  • Supervised treadmill or bike protocol with gradual intensity increases
  • Continuous monitoring of heart rate, breathing, and perceived effort
  • Results translated into practical training zones and everyday language

The experience, step by step

A guided treadmill or bike protocol

We start with a clear explanation of the protocol, then gradually increase intensity while monitoring how you feel. You'll always know what stage you're in, when you can stop, and how the data will be used.

  • Arrive, review your goals, and get fitted with monitoring equipment
  • Progress through clearly defined effort stages on a treadmill or bike
  • Finish with a cooldown and a walkthrough of what your numbers mean
