FAQs

You don’t need to be highly fit to complete our assessments, though a basic level of physical activity helps. Each test is designed to measure how your body responds to exercise, not just your athletic performance, and can be safely adjusted to your current fitness level.

Visit our Prepare page and select the assessment you’re scheduled for to review specific preparation guidelines. Some assessments, such as VO₂ Max, Lactate Threshold, Zone 2, Substrate Utilization, Wingate, and Gait Analysis, require forms to be completed in advance. These can be accessed on each assessment’s Prepare page. Please be sure to complete them prior to your appointment when applicable.

Start by exploring our Assessments page to find the option that best fits your needs. Once you’ve made your selection, visit our Pricing page, find your desired assessment, and submit a request for a date and time that works with your schedule. A member of our team will follow up promptly to confirm availability and finalize your appointment.
