VO2 Max + Lactate Threshold Testing
Price - $295
- Includes VO2 Max + Lactate Threshold + RMR + Gait Analysis
- Duration: 2 hours
What does this test measure?
- VO2 Max: VO2 max is the maximum rate at which an individual can deliver oxygen to working muscles during intense exercise, serving as a key measure of aerobic fitness and cardiovascular endurance
- Increase VO2 Max = greater aerobic capacity = less lactate production at a given pace = less fatigue at a given pace
- Training Optimization: These tests give us objective data to prescribe specific training intensities aimed at increasing VO2 max & lactate threshold, the main drivers of your aerobic engine
- Baseline & progress: this test is great to perform at the beginning of a training cycle, and later again in the cycle to make sure your training is trending in the right direction. *VO2 max retests are $100 off ($195 instead of $295)
- You'll be wearing a lab-grade mask that measures oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output
- You'll be on a treadmill running at progressively increasing speeds
- The test will be finished when your VO2 max has been reached
- You'll receive a report detailing your results and important training insights like aerobic threshold, anaerobic threshold, VO2 max, max heart-rate, ventilatory threshold, and more
Gait Analysis
Price:
With overuse injuries like those that occur with running, it's often difficult to point to one specific cause for your injuries. Your running biomechanics, shoe choice, training habits, nutrition, sleep & recovery, and past injury history all must be considered for before we can treat or reduce injury risk effectively.
Gait Analysis gives a window into how you're loading your body mile after mile. We analyze your loading strategies, asymmetries, and movement patterns in effort to maximize running economy. If you're injured, certain adjustments around your gait can help offload injured tissues to maximize fitness while safely returning to running.
Training Assessment is an opportunity to address your training history, shoe wear, recovery & nutritional habits, strategize your upcoming training, and address any current injuries.
Custom Durability Program creation based on your findings.
- $125 for Gait Analysis by itself
- - or - included in the VO2 Max & Lactate Threshold Testing session ($295/test)

Metabolic Rate Testing
Price
Elite training requires appropriate level of caloric intake to sustain heavy training demands over long periods of time.
Here's how Diane Johnson, Registered Dietician, will use your RMR test to determine your daily caloric needs to support your training.
TDEE = RMR + PAL + TEF
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the amount of energy (calories) your body uses while at rest to maintain vital bodily functions. It represents the minimum energy (calories) required to keep your body functioning in a resting state and accounts for the majority of your daily energy expenditure.
** An RMR test is performed using our clinical-grade VO2 mask that measures oxygen intake and carbon-dioxide output and takes roughly 45 minutes. You will be resting during this test, not exercising.
Physical Activity Level (PAL): higher levels of training require more calories. Running 100 miles/week, for example, requires greater caloric intake than running 20mpw. Diane will determine PAL based on your current training.
Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): is the energy your body uses to digest, absorb, and process the nutrients in the food you eat. It's a small but significant part of your daily calorie expenditure.
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): is the total number of calories a person burns in a day, considering their metabolic rate (RMR), physical activity levels (training intensity), and the thermic effect of food.
