Your visit, step by step
What happens, in order, and how long each part takes.
Standardized on every device, so the next test is comparable. You pay at your visit.
Online intake and readiness screening
10 to 15 minutes, before your visit
A short health, exercise and injury-history screen with our concierge. If anything needs clinical clearance first, we tell you here.
InBody and grip
15 minutes
Body composition on the InBody, then three grip trials per hand on the Jamar, with the same posture and handle setting every time.
Resting metabolism
25 to 35 minutes
Standardized resting conditions on the PNOĒ: your resting energy expenditure and the fuel mix you burn at rest.
VO₂ max
45 to 60 minutes
An individualized graded exercise protocol on the PNOĒ analyzer, with pretest screening and qualified exercise-testing staff in the room throughout.
Biomarker collection
10 to 15 minutes
Blood draw by qualified clinical staff. Which panels are ordered follows your history and goals, not a fixed bundle.
Physician interpretation
20 to 60 minutes, depending on the package
Dr. Christian reads your numbers against your history, your sport and what you asked for. Medical risk and anything clinically significant come first.
Your report and next steps
10 to 15 minutes
Our performance coordinator walks you through the report and books what comes next.
Good to know
Before you request this package.
- Iron studies are ordered when your history, symptoms or training load point to them, which is common in endurance athletes, and billed separately unless included.
- Bring your recent training log and race calendar: zones and fueling are written to your season, not to a generic plan.
- Testing is not a diagnosis. Testing-only services provide standardized measurements and reports; a full diagnostic medical evaluation is a separate service.
- Nothing here is medical advice. Reading this page does not create a physician-patient relationship.
Should I come rested?
Yes. We send preparation instructions when you book, and a hard session the day before will lower your test numbers. The same conditions are repeated at every follow-up test.
What if I am mid-season?
That is fine. Many athletes test mid-season to recalibrate zones. Tell us where you are in the season and the protocol and recommendations are set accordingly.
Why can I not pay online?
Because exercise testing needs a screening first. Send a request, and we reach out within one business day to confirm the package, run a short health and injury-history screen, and schedule you. You pay at your visit.
