Cardio Fitness - VO2 Max Testing
A successful lifelong pursuit of cardio fitness will likely help to prolong your life and lead to a more fulfilling, healthier and happier existence. Yeah, yeah but I hate cardio…
If you can get past the hate, and want to know how fit you are and what you can do about it, then a VO2 Max test is a good place to start.
VO2 Max is the gold standard cardio-respiratory fitness test, if done properly, using gas exchange via breathing apparatus will give a highly accurate measure of what is arguably our number one fitness priority.
We use a nifty and portable bit of kit, which does just that, simply and efficiently for you. The test uses sub-maximal protocols either by walking on a treadmill or using a stationary bike, with gradually increasing exertion up to 85% maximum heart rate. The result is then extrapolated based on your maximum estimated heart rate.
FREE with membership
Members of FitFor GYM get a VO2 Max test FREE (if they want it). This is part of our Fitness Fundamentals service, which is designed to give you the best opportunity to better understand your needs and reach your goals. In addition to Cardio we also offer assessments in the following areas of fitness:

All our Online workouts are also tagged with the relevant keyword to help you identify how best to improve in those areas. Simply go to FitFor Goals and click the Fitfor Fundamentals.
Corporate
If you are interested in supporting your team in their pursuit of physical fitness and mental health & wellbeing, then we can tailor assessments for you to cover whichever areas you are most interested in. We also offer a huge library of online exercise and injury prevention videos. Please visit our FitFor TV site or Contact us for more details.
Devices
Whatever your goals, we can help you achieve them. If you find the concept of fitness testing a little intimidating, you can use your smartphone or smartwatch to assess fitness levels. Some come with built in health and fitness features such as blood pressure and VO2 Max measures. Because the VO2 Max features are not measuring gas exchange, they will not be as accurate as our method but they are still a reasonable place to start.
