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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Force plates

    20 to 30 minutes

    A standardized warm-up, then three valid maximal countermovement jumps on the VALD ForceDecks, plus isometric efforts at fixed joint angles where available.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  • No laboratory testing is included. If your screening suggests blood work would change the picture, Performance Intelligence adds the core panel.
  • There is no results consultation in this package; the report carries the physician review. You can add a 30-minute follow-up consultation at any time.
  • 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.
Do I need to be fit to do this?

No. The VO₂ max protocol is individualized to you, and the screening beforehand decides what is appropriate. Many people start here precisely because they have not trained in a while.

Can I repeat it later to see progress?

Yes. Every protocol is standardized so the numbers are comparable visit to visit. Many people repeat the Baseline in a season, or move to the Continuum membership for scheduled re-testing.

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.
