VO2 max

Duration: 45 Minutes • Cost: £125

VO₂ max—your maximal oxygen uptake—is the strongest predictor of both cardiovascular fitness and longevity. It reflects the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise, making it a critical marker of endurance, resilience, and long-term health.

Higher VO₂ max values indicate a stronger heart, healthier lungs, and more efficient muscles. Research consistently shows that individuals with a higher VO₂ max live longer and have significantly reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. For athletes, it is also one of the most reliable measures of performance capacity.

The test is conducted using the VO₂MASTER® gas analyser, a state-of-the-art portable system that directly measures your oxygen usage in real time. After a controlled warm-up, you’ll wear a comfortable VO₂MASTER® mask while cycling to fatigue. The assessment provides your exact VO₂ max and calculates individualized training zones to maximize efficiency and progress.

Whether your goal is competitive performance, improved fitness, or investing in long-term health, VO₂ max testing offers precise, actionable insight into your body’s capacity—and a powerful tool to guide training and lifestyle choices.

General Health

Duration: 20 Minutes • Cost: £90

This quick and simple check measures key health indicators— HbA1c (blood sugar control), total and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure giving you a clear picture of your current health status. Blood is collected from small blood samples collected from a finger-prick and you will receive your results within minutes.

These markers are closely linked to your risk for heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other chronic conditions that impact your health, energy, and longevity. Understanding your levels can empower you to make informed lifestyle choices and act early to improve your health or monitor the effect of ongoing lifestyle interventions.

Resting Metabolic Rate

Duration: 45 Minutes • Cost: £80

Take the guess work out of calculating your daily calorie requirement by undertaking a Resting Metabolic Rate test (RMR). Also known as Basal Metabolic Rate, the test measures the amount of oxygen you use directly with a VO₂MASTER® gas analyser. This allows us to calculate the number of calories your body uses at rest with greater accuracy than conventional estimations — crucial for understanding your metabolism and how efficiently your body uses energy.

Knowing your RMR helps you make smarter decisions around nutrition, weight management, and performance. Whether you're aiming to lose fat, gain muscle, or boost your energy, this test provides the personalized insight you need to tailor your approach and achieve lasting results.

Take the guesswork out of your health journey—book your RMR test today and unlock the key to smarter training and nutrition!

Lactate Thresholds

Duration: 1 Hour • Cost: £150

Lactate Thresholds testing is a gold-standard assessment for cyclists and endurance athletes seeking targeted, effective training. Performed on a cycle ergometer, you’ll ride through progressively harder stages while small capillary blood samples are collected from the earlobe. These samples measure lactate concentration to identify both your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds.

Together, these thresholds reveal how efficiently your body uses energy, how long you can sustain effort, and when fatigue is likely to set in—providing deeper insight than heart rate, VO₂ max or power data alone.

Key benefits include:
Personalized Training Zones aligned with your physiology.
Precise Benchmarks to track performance improvements.
Smarter Race Pacing through knowledge of sustainable power outputs.
Reduced Overtraining Risk with better workload management.

Whether preparing for competition, building fitness, or looking to maximize training time, cycle-based lactate thresholds testing provides clear, actionable data to help you ride stronger and recover more effectively.

Lactate Thresholds + VO2 max

Duration: 1 Hour 30 Minutes • Cost: £200

For those serious about performance, health, and longevity, combining VO₂ max and Lactate Thresholds testing provides the most complete picture of your fitness and metabolic efficiency available.

VO₂ max is the strongest single predictor of cardiovascular fitness and longevity. Using the state-of-the-art VO₂MASTER® gas analyser, this test directly measures your oxygen uptake, delivering precise insight into endurance capacity, cardiovascular health, and long-term resilience.

Lactate thresholds testing complements this by identifying both your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds through small capillary blood samples taken from the earlobe during a graded exercise test. These thresholds pinpoint the exact transition points in your energy systems, providing the most accurate foundation for personalized training zones, race pacing, and fatigue management.

Together, these assessments give you unparalleled knowledge of how your body performs and adapts—data far beyond what heart rate or power monitoring alone can reveal. Whether your goal is athletic performance, maximizing training efficiency, or investing in lifelong health, this dual testing package offers actionable insights to help you train smarter, recover better, and build a stronger, longer life.
