Performance DirectorFrequently Asked Questions
What is VO2max testing?
VO2max testing measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. It's one of the most reliable indicators of aerobic fitness and gives you a clear, data-backed starting point for training. It is also the greatest marker for all cause mortality.
Can beginners take part?
Yes! Testing isn't just for competitive athletes, it's for anyone who wants to understand their body better, including people just starting a fitness or health journey.
Do I need to book, or can I walk in?
Booking is required so we can prepare the right equipment and give you our full attention. You can book online via our booking page or contact us directly.
How long does a session take?
Most sessions run 45 to 90 minutes depending on the test. Your booking confirmation will tell you exactly what to expect and how to prepare.
How do I know which service is right for me?
If you are unsure on which service is right for you, give us a call, send us an email or book a free discovery call with one of the team.
When will I get my results?
You'll get a full breakdown of your results and what they mean either on the day or shortly after, depending on the test.
