Performance Testing

Stop Guessing. Start Training.

VO₂ max, metabolic testing, RMR, and gait analysis — so your zones, fueling, and programming come from your physiology, not a formula.

Start with the Full Performance Assessment — VO₂, metabolic, RMR, and gait in one complete profile.

“What zone should I actually be training in?”

Measured ventilatory thresholds replace generic heart-rate zones — so easy days stay easy and hard days do their job.

“Why do I bonk when the distance gets long?”

Metabolic testing shows how you burn fat and carbohydrate across intensities. Pacing and fueling stop being guesswork.

“Why does the same workout feel different every week?”

Your data shows how your body responds under load, so intensity and recovery decisions are made on evidence.

Real Testing. Real Data.

We measure the engine, the fuel system, and the way the body moves.

Your watch estimates. The mask measures.

VO₂, ventilation, heart-rate response, and thresholds measured under real workload.

Why This Matters

Testing gives the plan a backbone.

Most people train from estimates — watch zones, generic formulas, old race pace, last week's feel. This replaces all of it with physiological anchors.

VO₂ Max Aerobic capacity under load
Ventilatory Thresholds Real training-zone anchors
Fuel Use Fat vs carbohydrate by intensity
RMR + Gait Metabolism and movement context
Fit + Protocol Accuracy
The test starts with proper setup.

Mask fit, protocol, and execution matter. Bad setup creates bad data.

RMR Metabolism
Your calorie baseline should not be guessed.

Resting metabolic rate anchors fueling, recovery, and body-composition decisions.

Work Capacity Readiness
Performance is not just for athletes.

Executives, tactical workers, and active adults all need a body that handles demand.

A Look Inside

This is what your results actually look like.

Anonymized sample · client identity removed

Physiology and movement data translated into better training decisions.

Aerobic Efficiency: 68.2%
What This Reveals

Testing is only useful when it changes the plan.

Aerobic capacity, breathing demand, heart-rate response, fuel use, and gait mechanics — read together, so the next block is built on what your body is actually showing.

VO₂ Max 57.8 ml/kg/min
Peak Heart Rate 195 bpm
Pelvic Control Mild bilateral pelvic drop
Foot Mechanics Right-side pronation pattern
VO₂ + HR Physiology
Aerobic capacity & breathing demand

Peak oxygen use, heart-rate response, and ventilation read together.

2.24° / 2.22° Pelvis
Pelvic control under load

Small asymmetries get expensive as speed, fatigue, and volume climb.

−3.96° Foot Position
Right foot mechanics

Directs foot control and lower-leg durability work without overcorrecting natural motion.

Training Zones Heart-rate targets from your test, not a formula.
Corrective Focus Pelvic control, trunk stability, foot awareness, running posture.
8-Week Direction What to train, adjust, and monitor next.
Retest Markers Lower heart rate and better control at the same speeds.
Which Test Should I Book?

Choose based on the decision you need to make next.

After Testing

You leave with more than numbers.

Immediate feedback in-session, then a written report within 24–48 hours. The goal is not to admire the data — it is to know what to train next.

Training Zones Intensity targets from your tested thresholds.
Fueling Profile How you burn fat and carbohydrate across intensities.
Movement Priorities Gait findings turned into corrective direction.
Programming Direction What your next block should emphasize.
Retest Markers What should improve when the plan is working.
Test With Purpose

Testing tells us what is happening. Coaching turns it into the plan.

Testing can stand alone, or become the starting point for private coaching — where strength, endurance, recovery, and lifestyle are managed in one system.
