Do you want to increase fitness and peak performance?

At Wellness International we understand the science behind what can give you the edge over your competitors; it’s been engrained in our business culture since day one. Whether you wish to increase or test your speed, stamina, or strength, Wellness International has the personnel and the facilities to help you reach the zenith of your physical performance.

The single most critical factor that determines the benefit of aerobic exercise is intensity – how hard you exercise. Training at the correct intensity for each type of workout optimizes the body’s response, giving you the greatest workout efficiency.

Most people exercise too hard.  Whether attempting to improve endurance, lose weight, or increase sustainable speed, almost everyone goes harder than is ideal. VO2 Max testing is one of the best ways to learn the most efficient workout intensities for your unique physiology and get the most out of every workout.

What is VO2 max test?

A VO2 Max test with Wellness International involves a graded exercise test on a treadmill or an exercise bike. The test begins at a very light intensity and gets slightly harder every 3 minutes with the gradient also increasing every 3 minutes until maximum exertion is achieved. The subject wears a mouthpiece and we measure the volume of air expired along with the percentages of oxygen and carbon dioxide within this air. From this data, we determine your aerobic threshold, lactate threshold and VO2 max.

With the results from your VO2 max test we can ensure that you are training at the correct intensity for each type of your preferred workouts to optimize the body’s response, giving you the greatest efficiency and results.
