Evaluations are interpreted on site by a physician and an exercise physiologist.

Monitor your training progress with VO2 Max and Body Composition Testing.

Be confident in your abilities and health by including cardiac stress testing and pulmonary function evaluation.

Body composition is performed using bioelectrical impedance analysis with whole body resistance.

Altitude training is also offered to help decrease recovery time and to increase your VO2 Max.

• Find your anaerobic threshold to facilitate workouts in specific zones
• Determine whether you are suffering from over training
• Monitor whether changes in your diet have had any impact
• Modify your training based on your personal evaluation

What is VO2 max? It is the measure of how well we are able to extract oxygen and use it efficiently. The anaerobic threshold is equal to 90% of VO2 max. The determinants of this measure are genetic to some extent. However, decreasing body fat, increasing endurance training and including small amounts of anaerobic effort in your workouts can all help move the dial. How can you tell if your improving? The only way to know is to measure it and to watch your PR improve.

Why is body composition important? Testing body composition is a noninvasive means to determine not only the amount of body fat and lean muscle mass but it also provides information on the health of your cells. We know that improper weight loss can result in decreased general health and poor performance. Monitoring you BIA will help you to know that your diet and exercise program is right for you.

Why do normobaric hypoxia training (Altitude Training)? Altitude training upregulates the hypoxia inducible factor and promotes an improvement in the body’s oxygen utilization. An increase also occurs in RBC’s and hemoglobin. The mitochondria can more efficiently handle oxygen for energy production. The result is an increase in the VO2 max. This translates into improved, power and output as well as speed.
