⸻

What Is VO₂ Max?

VO₂ max (maximal oxygen uptake) measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. It is widely considered the gold standard for cardiovascular fitness and one of the strongest predictors of:

    •    Overall fitness level

    •    Heart and lung health

    •    Endurance capacity

    •    Metabolic efficiency

    •    Longevity and disease risk

In fact, large-scale studies show that low VO₂ max is a stronger predictor of mortality than smoking, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Improving your VO₂ max isn’t just about athletic performance—it’s about living longer and healthier.

⸻

Why VO₂ Max Matters for Longevity

VO₂ max is often called a “vital sign of aging.” As we get older, VO₂ max naturally declines—but the rate of decline can be slowed or even reversed with the right training.

Higher VO₂ max levels are associated with:

    •    Reduced risk of heart disease

    •    Lower risk of stroke

    •    Improved brain health

    •    Better blood sugar control

    •    Increased energy and stamina

    •    Longer lifespan

By testing and tracking your VO₂ max, you can objectively measure how well your body is aging—and take action to improve it.

Personalized Data You Can Actually Use

This is not a smartwatch estimate. Our testing uses medical-grade metabolic analysis to measure your breathing in real time while you exercise.

Your test provides detailed, personalized data including:

    •    Your true VO₂ max score

    •    Heart rate training zones

    •    Calorie and fat-burning zones

    •    Aerobic vs anaerobic thresholds

    •    How efficiently you use fat vs carbohydrates

    •    Ventilatory thresholds (key for endurance improvement)

This allows us to give you clear, individualized recommendations instead of generic fitness advice.

⸻

Who Should Get VO₂ Max Testing?

VO₂ max testing benefits people at all fitness levels, including:

    •    Adults focused on longevity and health optimization

    •    Busy professionals who want efficient workouts

    •    Runners, cyclists, CrossFit athletes, and gym enthusiasts

    •    People starting a fitness journey and wanting a baseline

    •    Individuals frustrated by slow progress despite working out

    •    Anyone who wants objective health data instead of guesswork

You don’t need to be an athlete—you just need to care about your health.

⸻

What to Expect During Your VO₂ Max Test

Your test is safe, supervised, and customized to your fitness level.

You will:

    •    Wear a comfortable mask that measures oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange

    •    Exercise on a treadmill or bike with gradually increasing intensity

    •    Be monitored for heart rate and breathing patterns

    •    Complete the test in about 10–15 minutes of effort

Afterward, we review your results with you and explain exactly what they mean and how to use them.
