METABOLIC TESTING
SWEAT ELECTROLYTES TESTING
This service measures sweat rate (the amount of fluid lost) and sweat sodium concentration (the amount of sodium lost). Various sweat samples are collected from the forearm and back using sweat patches, and these samples are then analyzed to determine the sodium concentration.
What you learn
Your hourly sweat rate and sodium loss, to help you develop a personalized hydration and electrolyte replenishment strategy.
Includes: Test and Report
Cost - $100 - Single Sport
1h session
(Bike, Run or Hyrox)
Cost - $190 - two separate
1 hr sessions
(Bike -AND- Run or other)
LACTATE THRESHOLD TESTING
This service helps determine your metabolic inflection points, known as first and second thresholds (LT1 and LT2), by measuring your blood lactate concentration during exercise.
What you learn
Your LT1, LT2, and training zones. These thresholds are critical markers of endurance performance, as they determine the maximum sustainable intensities that can be maintained for different extended periods.
Includes: Test & Report with power/pace training zones
Cost - $150 - Single Sport

(Bike, Run, or Hyrox )
Cost - $290 - two separate

VO2MAX TESTING
This service helps identify the maximum volume of oxygen (VO2max) your body can utilize during exercise. A key marker for both performance and health, as it's a strong predictor of longevity and health outcomes.
What you learn
Your VO2max and ventilatory threshold (VT1/VT2) are critical markers of endurance performance, as they determine the maximum sustainable intensities that can be maintained for extended periods. You will also learn your economy/efficiency, energy expenditure, and fuel substrate utilization.
Includes: Testing, Report with power/pace training zones
Cost - $150 - Single Sport

(Bike, Run, or Hyrox)
Cost - $290 - two separate

HEAT CAPACITY & SWEAT TESTING
Roughly 80% of the energy your body uses is lost to heat. This test helps measure your current heat tolerance and sweat rate when exercising in warm conditions, allowing you to effectively optimize your body's thermoregulatory system.
What you learn
Your heat training zones are required to safely adapt & improve your performance racing in hot conditions. Your hourly sweat rate and sodium loss,for a personalized hydration and electrolyte replenishment strategy
Includes: Testing, Report heat training zones, and sweat rate

THE ULTIMATE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROFILE
Our most premium service is a scientific approach that helps identify your complete physiological performance profile, encompassing metabolic, cardiovascular, and respiratory aspects. It combines Lactate Threshold, VO2max testing, Sweat Electrolyte Loss, and the Resting Metabolic Rate testing into one.
It involves a test divided into 3 parts. First, we measure your resting metabolic rate(RMR). Second, while exercising at various intensities, we measure your blood lactate concentration to determine your Lactate Thresholds (LT1 & LT2). After a recovery period, we conduct a ramp test to measure gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide volumes) and determine your VO2max, energy expenditure, FatMax, and cardiorespiratory efficiency. Along the way, we measure heart rate, power/pace, muscle oxygen utilization, your sweat rate, sodium loss, lung capacity, and cardiovascular fitness, among other key metrics.
What you learn
Your RMR, personalized inflection points (LT1 & LT2), VO2max, Max Anaerobic capacity, durability, FatMax, sweat rate, and sodium loss & fuel utilization at various intensities. We'll help you determine your performance potential, identify the type of training that yields the most fitness gains, establish your individual training zones, create a personalized fueling plan, and more!
Includes: Testing, detailed report with training zones, fueling plan (carbs, fluids, and sodium intake), daily caloric needs (protein, carbs, and fat intake recommendations), training recommendations (i.e., polarized, pyramidal, etc.), & FREE 30-min Zoom call follow-up

RESTING METABOLIC RATE TESTING
Metabolic rate is a measure of how quickly your body expends energy.
What you learn
The resting metabolic rate assessment measures the number of calories your body burns at rest, providing the data you need to plan a weight loss, weight gain, or daily caloric intake to optimize your training performance and recovery.
Includes: Detailed report including Data collected: Resting HR, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), metabolic parameters like calories, carbs (%, grams), fat (%, grams)
