More Than Your Wrist Can Measure
A VO₂ Max test measures aerobic capacity right at the source, how quickly your body pulls in oxygen and turns it into usable energy while you work.

Whether you are chasing speed, fat loss, or more dependable everyday fitness, this number gives every session a purpose.

The point is not to prove how fit you are. It is to know exactly where you stand and what to do next.

What does a VO₂ Max test measure, and how does it work?
Think of your body as an engine, and VO₂ Max as the measure of how big and efficient that engine is at using oxygen. You pedal a bike or walk a treadmill as the effort steps up in stages, while a mask tracks the oxygen you take in and the CO₂ you breathe out.
The harder you go, the more oxygen you burn, until the reading plateaus. That plateau is your VO₂ Max, reported in ml/kg/min. For reference, elite endurance athletes reach around 80 ml/kg/min, and sled dogs top 200.
How long does the VO₂ Max test take?
The active phase usually runs 7 to 15 minutes depending on your fitness. Once it is done, you take home a full report you can keep and come back to.
Why does a strong VO₂ Max matter so much for long-term health?
VO₂ Max is one of the strongest markers of cardiovascular health there is. Across 122,007 people, the least-fit quintile died at roughly 5 times the rate of the most fit (Mandsager et al., JAMA 2018). Since it responds to training at any age, raising it can add both years and quality to those years.
How do I actually improve my VO₂ Max?
Combining easy aerobic (Zone 2) volume with occasional high-intensity intervals raises VO₂ Max over time, and supports your heart and metabolism along the way. A test gives you the baseline to measure that progress against.
What exactly is Zone 2 training?
Zone 2 is easy aerobic effort at about 60 to 75% of your max heart rate, the pace where you can still hold a conversation. It builds your aerobic base and fat-burning capacity, and it pairs nicely with the occasional hard workout.
What actually happens during the session?
You do a graded effort on a treadmill or bike that starts easy and climbs toward your peak, with a mask measuring oxygen and CO₂ throughout. You are monitored closely the whole way through.
What will my VO₂ Max test tell me?
You will learn your aerobic capacity (VO₂ Max), your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, the mix of fat and carbohydrate you burn across intensities, your heart-rate zones, and your breathing efficiency. Fit AI then rolls those numbers into a clear read on your biological age.
