Vo2 Max Testing.
Our ability as humans to utilise the oxygen we breathe in and efficiently use it for fuel to our working muscles is at the focus of what we test in The Performance lab. A more efficient body for your sport means you are able to exert the same effort or less for a higher output (Speed / Watt). Our test is suitable for anybody who wants to improve their health for as long as possible as well as beginner athletes right up to the seasoned professional.
We provide you with a unique breakdown of your own fitness profile and the information you need to reach the next level of your training. You will arm yourself with all the knowledge in your personalised report which details: Vo2 Max Score, Heart Rate training zones, fat max, aerobic, & anaerobic thresholds and how to pinpoint them. Understand your limiting factors to your performance when you are finished the test by sitting down with our performance analyst. As we like to say at the performance lab: “Measure Everything, Guess Nothing”

Evan Lynch Bio
“Hi, my name is Evan Lynch, I am a registered dietitian who specializes in clinical sports nutrition. My PhD research is currently studying the effects of under fuelling in male endurance athletes. You may recognise me from from previous like workshops done remotely through the pandemic and in store over the past few years. My job is to bring nutrition science into the hands of athletes of all abilities, to help them reach their highest potential.
My role in the performance lab is to apply the data within the contexts of nutrition which includes using it towards counting someones calorie or carb requirements or indeed, discussing metabolic flexibility and ways of improving it.”
