VO2 Max Testing
$299 / 25 min interpretation consult
VO2 max is the single strongest predictor of all-cause mortality. Know yours — and know exactly how to improve it.
The Science
What This Test Measures
VO2 max measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. It's the gold standard metric for cardiorespiratory fitness — and a landmark JAMA study showed it's more predictive of longevity than almost any other biomarker, including smoking status and diabetes.
A full metabolic exercise test also reveals your ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2), which define the boundaries between your training zones. VT1 is where you shift from primarily fat burning to carbohydrate burning. VT2 is your lactate threshold — the point where fatigue accumulates faster than your body can clear it.
These thresholds are the foundation of precision training. Most people train too hard on easy days and too easy on hard days. Knowing your exact thresholds lets you train with surgical precision — whether your goal is racing, longevity, or simply performing better in daily life.

The Process
How It Works
01
Get your VO2 max test
Complete a VO2 max test at a local exercise physiology lab or performance center.
02
Collect your report
You'll receive data on peak VO2, anaerobic threshold, ventilatory thresholds, and fat oxidation.
