Simple VO₂ max testing that gives you the training zones you actually need.
Ever feel like you’re running hard but not really sure if you’re training smart? That’s where VO₂ Max testing comes in. It’s not a complicated lab test – it’s a straightforward way to get a clear picture of your fitness and discover the exact training zones that work best for you.
Most runners train by feel or stick to a comfortable pace. However, that approach can quickly lead to plateaus, overtraining, or missing out on the progress you’re capable of achieving. VO₂ Max testing gives you the data to break through those barriers and train with purpose.
VO₂ max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use while running. Simply put, it shows how efficiently your heart, lungs, and circulatory system deliver oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.
Knowing your VO₂ Max gives you insight into your fitness, endurance, and potential as a runner. With this knowledge, you can train more effectively and achieve real progress in your performance.
Conveniently at our Durbanville or Cape Town practice.
You’ll run on a treadmill while we monitor your breathing, heart rate, and oxygen usage. The intensity gradually increases to help us find your actual VO₂ max.
You’ll receive an easy-to-read report with your VO₂ max and training recommendations. You will walk away knowing where your strengths and weaknesses are and how to train more efficiently to reach your goals.
Your report includes a baseline to measure progress when you retest in the future.
With your VO₂ max data, you can:
VO₂ max testing isn’t just for elite athletes. It’s for anyone who wants to improve their performance in their sport.
