VO2 and Lactate Testing on the Bike or Run:

(Combined Test) $175 (VO2 or Lactate on their own) $125

Getting a VO2 Test, Lactate Test or a combined VO2 and Lactate test either on the bike or run will be one of the most complete tests you undergo to assess your current and future fitness capabilities. The VO2 test measures the volume of oxygen you can utilize per kilogram of body weight per minute and the Lactate Test accurately measures your Lactate Balance Point with the use of a  LACTATE PRO. This information allows us to accurately determine where your thresholds lie and prescribe the correct training intensity for future workouts and races. The test session lasts about 60 minutes, which includes the test itself and post performance discussion. In the end you'll be supplied with a complete fitness profile that highlights your aerobic threshold, tempo pace, lactate threshold and anaerobic threshold. Power data, HR data and/or running paces associated with each zone will also be determined.
