Your fitness, measured. Not guessed.
VO2max is how much oxygen your body can use. It's the clearest single number for your fitness, and one of the strongest markers of how well you'll age. We measure it in the lab, breath by breath, then show you exactly how to raise it.
Your watch estimates. Our lab measures.
Stop training on guesses
Watches and "220 minus your age" formulas estimate. Your real heart-rate zones can be more than 10 beats away from what they suggest.
Get more from every hour
Busy people don't have time to waste. Knowing your zones means every session does exactly what it's meant to: burn fat, build your engine or recover.
Invest in how you'll age
Aerobic fitness is one of the strongest predictors of a long, active life. It's also one of the most trainable, at any age.
Four answers, in plain language.

Questions
Do I need to be fit to do the test?
No. The test starts easy and adapts to you. It shows where you are today, whatever that is.
Is the test right for me?
We screen your health first and adapt the test to you. If a maximal effort isn't right for you, we use a gentler version.
My watch already shows my VO2max. Why test?
Your watch estimates it from heart rate. We measure the oxygen you actually use, breath by breath, so your zones are exact.
How often should I retest?
Every 90 days. That's enough time to see real change, and to adjust your zones as you get fitter.
