Accurate VO2 max and metabolism testing

Find your true training zones and daily calorie burn — not estimates

Tired of wearables guessing your fitness numbers?

Smartwatches and online calculators estimate your VO2 max and metabolism using predictive formulas, not your actual physiology. As a result, you may see:
  • Training zones based on estimates rather than measured oxygen consumption
  • Calorie burn estimates that may differ significantly from your actual metabolism
  • Cardio fitness scores that don’t match how you actually train
  • No read on your resting metabolic rate, just a formula guess
  • Training plateaus that are harder to understand without accurate metabolic data
  • VO2 Max and resting metabolic rate RMR testing measure your body directly, using the same COSMED system hospitals and Olympic training programs rely on.

You need performance testing that measures your body, not a formula

Better training starts with better data. Our VO2 max and metabolism testing provides direct measurements of your aerobic fitness and resting metabolism so you can train more efficiently. Every assessment includes:

VO2 Max Testing

A full gas exchange analysis measures your aerobic capacity and identifies personalized training zones based on your body's actual performance.

Resting Metabolic Rate Testing

FDA-cleared indirect calorimetry measures exactly how many calories your body burns at rest, not a formula guess.

Personalized Training Zones

Receive personalized heart rate and training zones based on your gas exchange data to help you train at the right intensity.

Expert-Reviewed Reporting

Your results are reviewed by our clinical team and delivered in a report you can use with your coach or on your own.

Frequently asked questions

How is VO2 Max testing different from what my smartwatch tells me?

VO2 Max testing measures your actual oxygen use through full gas exchange analysis, while smartwatches estimate VO2 max from your heart rate and movement patterns, so results may differ from direct testing.

What is RMR testing and why does it matter?

Resting metabolic rate testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest using FDA-cleared indirect calorimetry, instead of a height-and-weight formula, so your nutrition plan is built on your actual metabolism

How long does testing take and when do I get results?

Both VO2 Max and RMR testing are done in a single visit, and your clinically-reviewed report is usually available within 48 hours.
