If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I actually getting fitter?”—VO₂ max testing gives you a clear, numbers-based answer.

At True Precision Medicine, we measure VO₂ max using our ergometer bike (a precise stationary bike designed for testing) and custom software to capture and analyze your performance.

What is VO₂ max?

VO₂ max estimates how efficiently your body can use oxygen during exercise. In simple terms: it’s a snapshot of your cardiorespiratory fitness—how well your heart, lungs, blood, and muscles work together when you’re working hard.

It’s often called a fitness “vital sign” because it can help you:

  • Understand your current endurance level
  • Track progress over time (even when the scale doesn’t move)
  • Set smarter training zones so you’re not guessing
  • Find out if you’re under-training… or overdoing it

What to expect during the test

You’ll ride the bike while the intensity gradually increases. We monitor your effort and performance throughout the test, and our software helps us translate the data into practical insights you can actually use.

No complicated prep, no elite-athlete requirements—just a willingness to pedal and get a little uncomfortable for a short period.

Who is VO₂ max testing for?

VO₂ max testing can be helpful if you:

  • Want a baseline before starting a fitness plan
  • Are training for an event (or just want to feel better day-to-day)
  • Feel like you’re “doing everything” but not seeing results
  • Want objective feedback to guide your workouts

What you’ll leave with

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of where you are today—and what to focus on next, whether that’s building endurance, improving conditioning, or structuring workouts more efficiently.

If you’re ready to take the guesswork out of your training, schedule your VO₂ max test at True Precision Medicine.
