What Is A VO2 Max?
VO₂ max is the maximum volume of oxygen your body can utilise per minute during intense exercise. It is the gold standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness and aerobic capacity. Knowing your personal VO₂ max score allows you to track real fitness progress, establish precise training zones and understand your body's physiological response to exercise.

How Does A VO2 Max Test Go?
Out testing process is made up of a few simple steps:
-
Before you arrive you will fill out a health and fitness survey to let us know where you are in your fitness journey and what you are working towards so we can tailor the test and our report to your needs.
-
Upon arrival we will talk through the information you have sent us, get you warmed up and ready and explain how the test will work.
-
If you are using a treadmill to complete your test, the intensity starts low at a very gentle speed and low incline. Throughout the test, the intensity gradually increase until you reach your max.
-
Once the test is over, we will help you cool down and briefly talk through your VO2 and our initial observations.
-
After your test we will send you a personalised report, including the VO2, respiratory and heart rate data we collected during your test, our analysis of this, how your VO2 max compares to others and what this means for you. We will use your VO2 max, training zones and VT & 2 to advice you on ways to progress you cardiorespiratory fitness to reach your goals.
-
A few months down the line we advice retesting your VO2 max to monitor your progress and see how well your training is working.
