VO2 Max (Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test)
Your VO2 Max isn’t just a number—it’s the most accurate predictors of how long and how well you’ll live.
Why VO2 Max Is a Game-Changer for Your Health
Cardiovascular fitness is a stronger predictor of mortality than age itself. Experience the future of health assessment with VO2 Max testing, an advanced tool reserved for those who demand the most precise and actionable insights.
This sophisticated measurement, akin to a vital sign for longevity, provides an unparalleled understanding of your cardiovascular fitness and its profound impact on your healthspan.
CPET (VO2) testing offers an exclusive window into your body's potential, allowing you to proactively optimize your health and defy the traditional limitations of aging.
How Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Works
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) goes beyond the limitations of traditional VO2 max assessments and provides a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of your endurance, metabolism, and cardiopulmonary health.
Basic VO2 testing measures how much oxygen your body uses during exercise, helping to assess your aerobic fitness and VO2 max. In contrast, CPET method extends beyond that to provide an integrated analysis that measures not only oxygen but also includes carbon dioxide along with heart and lung function. This precision provides a more robust picture of your fitness and health, and functional capacity.
Benefits
Provides Concrete Data
Improving VO2 max reduces death risk, enhances cognitive and cardiovascular health, and supports independence with age. Higher VO2 levels are associated with reduced inflammation, stronger immunity, and build resilience, promoting vitality and quality of life now and in the future.

Reduce Your Risk Of Death
By raising your VO2 max level from the 20th to the 60th percentile, you can lower your risk of dying from any cause by approximately 50%.
Optimizes Training
VO2 testing delivers precise insights into cardiovascular capacity, fuel utilization, and training zones. It identifies your aerobic-to-anaerobic transition, enabling smarter, tailored fitness strategies to boost performance and efficiency. This data can also be shared with your coach.
Provides Context For Daily HRV Status
Pairing wearable daily HRV metrics with VO2 Testing for further insights offers insight into your recovery status and resilience to physical stress. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of your fitness, recovery and readiness to train effectively.
