EXAMPLE RESULTS FROM A VO₂ ASSESSMENT
WHAT YOUR ASSESSMENT INCLUDES
-
We discuss your goals, training history, current fitness, lifestyle and any relevant health considerations. This helps ensure your assessment is personalised to your needs and objectives.
-
Using a treadmill or cycle ergometer and metabolic testing equipment, we measure your aerobic capacity and physiological response to exercise. VO₂ max is one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness, endurance performance and long-term health.
-
We identify your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, establish personalised heart-rate training zones and analyse how your body uses fat and carbohydrate at different exercise intensities. This provides valuable insight into training efficiency, endurance performance, weight management and nutrition planning for both everyday health and sporting events.
-
You receive a detailed report summarising your results, benchmark comparisons and key physiological metrics. We explain what the data means and how it applies to your training, health and performance goals.
-
You leave with clear, evidence-based recommendations on what to keep, what to change and where to focus your efforts. The goal is to provide practical next steps that help you train with greater confidence and direction.

Most assessments are performed on a treadmill. Bike-based testing is also available for cyclists and those who prefer cycling; however, bike testing is currently available at our Mayfair location only.
-
The assessment begins with a brief consultation before completing a progressive treadmill or bike test while wearing a metabolic testing mask. The test gradually becomes more challenging until you reach your maximum sustainable effort, allowing us to accurately measure your VO₂ max, physiological thresholds and overall exercise capacity. Throughout the assessment, we continuously monitor your breathing, heart rate and physiological response to exercise.
-
You'll receive a detailed report including your VO₂ max score, physiological thresholds, personalised training zones, fuel utilisation profile and practical recommendations.
