Metabolic Performance Testing Services

Take the guesswork out of training with objective metabolic testing. Using the VO₂ Master system, we measure how your body uses oxygen and energy during exercise to provide personalized training zones, identify physiological strengths and limitations, and guide performance or rehabilitation with real data.

Whether you're training for your next race or managing a chronic health condition, metabolic testing provides information that heart rate and pace alone cannot.

VO₂ Max Testing

Measure your maximal aerobic capacity and overall cardiorespiratory fitness. This test identifies your true aerobic ceiling and provides accurate heart rate and pace/power training zones for running, cycling, and endurance sports.

Lactate Threshold Testing

Combine respiratory gas analysis with lactate measurements to determine your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds. Ideal for athletes who want precise intensity targets for interval training, tempo workouts, and race pacing.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

Measure the number of calories your body burns at rest and determine how efficiently you're using carbohydrates and fat. RMR testing can help guide nutrition planning, weight management, recovery, and identify signs of inadequate energy availability in highly active individuals.

Exercise Economy & Fat Oxidation

Assess how efficiently you utilize oxygen at different exercise intensities and identify the intensity where fat metabolism is optimized. Particularly valuable for marathon runners, ultra-endurance athletes, and cyclists looking to improve endurance performance.

Endurance athletes

Runners, cyclists, triathletes, and Nordic skiers seeking individualized training zones and improved race performance.

Recreational athletes

Individuals training for their first 10K, half marathon, marathon, or personal fitness goals who want objective guidance.

Active adults

People looking to improve cardiovascular fitness safely with accurate exercise intensity recommendations.

Respiratory rehabilitation

Individuals with COPD or chronic respiratory conditions participating in supervised exercise and rehabilitation programs.

Weight management & nutrition

Clients wanting evidence-based calorie expenditure and metabolic information to support healthy body composition goals.

Overtraining & recovery monitoring

Competitive athletes experiencing fatigue, plateaued performance, or concerns about inadequate fueling and recovery.

Each assessment can include a detailed review of your results with practical recommendations you can immediately apply. Depending on the test, you'll receive:

• Personalized heart rate and training zones
• VO₂ max and threshold values
• Pace or power recommendations for training
• Resting metabolic rate and daily energy estimates
• Fat and carbohydrate utilization profile
• Guidance for training progression and recovery

Our goal is simple: provide meaningful physiological data that helps you train smarter, perform better, and make confident decisions about your health and fitness.
