WHAT IT MEASURES
What we capture during the test
You work up through stages on a cycle ergometer while we measure every breath. The result is a set of physiological markers, not a fitness score guessed from your watch.
VO2 Max
Millilitres of oxygen per kilogram per minute, with your result placed against age and sex norms.
Training zones
Heart rate and power zones anchored to your actual thresholds instead of a percentage formula.
Ventilatory thresholds
The points where your body shifts fuel use and breathing changes, which is where most training should sit.
Efficiency and recovery
How economically you move at submaximal effort and how quickly your heart rate drops afterwards.
WHO IT IS FOR
Who books a VO2 Max test
Endurance athletes
You want zones you can trust for a marathon, triathlon, ride or hyrox build.
Longevity focused
Cardiorespiratory fitness tracks strongly with healthspan. You want a baseline and an annual retest.
Returning to training
You have been out for a while and want a safe, measured starting point rather than guesswork.
YOUR VISIT
What happens on the day
Allow sixty minutes for the appointment. After a short screen and warm up you complete a staged test to voluntary maximum on the bike while wearing a mask that measures your expired air, then we interpret the result with you.
How to prepare. Eight rules, and they matter. Each one changes the result.
-
No exercise at all on the day of your test
-
No caffeine for four hours beforehand
-
No alcohol for twenty-four hours
-
Wear exercise clothes and training shoes
-
No food for at least one hour beforehand
-
No nicotine, smoking or vapin for three hours
-
Arrive normally hydrated, not overloaded
-
Take your normal medication unless told otherwise by your doctor
01
Screen and setup
Health screen, resting measures, then we fit and calibrate the mask and heart rate monitor and set the bike up to your position.
02
Graded test on the bike
Resistance steps up every one to two minutes until you reach your maximum. We test on a cycle ergometer rather than a treadmill because the workload is measured in watts, so the protocol is identical every retest and the result is not skewed by running skill or gait.
03
Debrief
We interpret the curve with you, set your zones, and upload the full report and training ranges to your dashboard.
