To celebrate Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Human Powered Health is offering an exclusive opportunity to invest in your fitness and longevity. Buy one VO₂max test and get your second one 50% off. Your purchase must be made between November 28 and December 1.
Your second test is designed to be your personal benchmark for progress. By retesting after a few months of training, you can see exactly how your endurance, efficiency and overall health have improved.
With the guidance and recommendations from our performance physiologists, 70% of Human Powered Health customers who do multiple VO₂max tests meaningfully improve their results after their first visit. This means a longer, healthier lifespan.
VO₂max is one of the strongest indicators of endurance and long-term health. It reflects how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise and how well your heart, lungs and muscles work together. A higher VO₂max means better stamina and a stronger cardiovascular system that supports both performance and longevity.
You’ll wear a mask while running on a treadmill or cycling on a stationary bike to measure how much oxygen you inhale and carbon dioxide you exhale. A performance physiologist will gradually increase the intensity until you reach maximal effort while monitoring your heart rate and breathing.
The test lasts about 7–15 minutes, followed by a 30-minute consultation to review your results and improvement plan. The VO₂max testing protocol is catered to your current fitness level with varying speeds and intensities.
VO₂max testing is for everyone. While it’s often associated with high-performing athletes, this test provides valuable data and insights regardless of your fitness level. If you're looking to enhance your long-term health, measuring and increasing your VO₂max has been shown to directly impact your longevity. Endurance athletes are able to use their VO₂max to build out a more intelligent training plan.
Your assessment can take up to 45 minutes to accommodate arrival, changing, discussing your goals and the 7-15 minute test itself, and is followed by a 30 minute data review with a performance physiologist to go over the results together (up to 75 minutes total).
You’ll receive your VO₂max number and many other metrics including your true maximum heart rate, your heart rate at your anaerobic threshold, heart rate training zones unique to you and more. Based on your results, a performance physiologist will also give you a detailed plan on how to increase your VO₂max.
Your purchase must be made between November 28 and December 1. While the offer is only available during that time, you can schedule your first VO₂max test for any date before June 1st, 2026. Your follow up assessment will be booked after your initial visit and must take place at least 90 days later.
Yes, one person must complete both VO₂max tests.
