Wondering how fit you really are?

It doesn’t have to be guesswork.

Pace, heart rate, and power are useful, but they only show part of the picture. VO₂max testing shows how much oxygen your body can actually use. It is one of the clearest measures of cardiovascular fitness you can get.

With that clarity, goals make sense. Training becomes more precise. And progress is something you can see and trust.

« Before you test

You rely on generic numbers from watches, apps, or online calculators. They offer an estimate, but you do not know how close it is to reality. Progress feels vague. You are unsure whether fitness is improving or just holding steady.

After you test »

You know your actual VO₂max and how your body uses oxygen at different intensities. Fitness becomes clear and measurable. You set real benchmarks, track meaningful change, and know exactly where you stand over time.

How it works

A VO₂max test measures how much oxygen your body consumes during exercise.
Here’s what happens:

  • You run or ride on a treadmill or bike while the intensity gradually increases.
  • You’ll wear a mask connected to our analyser, which measures how much oxygen you breathe in and how much carbon dioxide you breathe out.
  • We track your breathing and performance in real time to determine your VO₂max and related metrics.

This is the gold standard for measuring aerobic fitness.

FAQ

Do I have to go all-out?

Yes — to get an accurate VO₂max, the test requires you to exercise to your maximum effort. But don’t worry, our team guides you through the process safely.

What’s the difference between a lactate test and a VO₂max test, and which one should I do?

A VO₂max test measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use — essentially, your aerobic engine size. A lactate test identifies your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, which define your training zones.

  • If you want to understand your fitness potential and track progress over time, VO₂max is best.
  • If you want accurate training zones to guide daily workouts, lactate testing is the better choice.
    Many athletes do both, as they complement each other.

How long does the test take?

The active part is usually 8–15 minutes, depending on your fitness level. With setup and explanation, plan for about 60 minutes total.

Is it uncomfortable to wear the mask?

It can feel strange at first, but most athletes get used to it quickly. Breathing is not restricted; the mask just directs airflow into our analyser.

What do I need to bring?

Wear your usual training gear and running shoes (or cycling shoes if you’re testing on the bike). Bring a towel and a water bottle.

How often should I repeat the test?

Every 3–6 months is typical, depending on your goals. This allows you to track changes in fitness and adjust your training accordingly.
