The Package

What is the Runner Performance Package?

The Runner Performance Package is GymTherapy’s most comprehensive run-specific service — designed for runners who want to close the gap between training effort and race performance. It combines the full testing trifecta (VO₂ max, blood lactate threshold, and strength neuromuscular profiling), producing a performance profile that covers both your physiology and your physical performance.

A clinician then analyses your results using our advanced software and translates them into accurate, individualised training zones, race-pace guidance and clear training recommendations. The result is a complete picture of what's driving — and limiting — your running, with practical guidance you (or your coach) can build training around. Additional coaching can be completed.  

The Process

What’s involved

01
Neuromuscular & Physical Testing
20min
Key strength, power and neuromuscular markers for endurance performance are tested using our force plate and dynamometry technology. This includes injury risk testing for limb symmetry index.
02
Blood Lactate Threshold Testing
40min
Blood lactate threshold testing to identify (LT1 + LT2), and economy metrics at incremental paces - these 2 metrics allow for identification of key metabolic training zones and predictive calculations of race pace.
03
VO₂ Max Testing
15min
A VO₂ Max Ramp protocol is then completed to understand your true cardiovascular ceiling using our metabolic analyser. This information completes our training zone & endurance profiling.
04
Review & Re-Test
Every 8–12 weeks
We then review the data, and send you a complete report with key recommendations to action. Periodic re-testing tracks physiological adaptation. As your fitness evolves, your zones are updated — ensuring your program stays calibrated to where you actually are, not where you were when you started.
Ideal For

Who it’s for

✓ Runners targeting a marathon or half-marathon PB
✓ Competitive age-groupers wanting a data-led edge

What’s Included

The technology

Physiology + Biomechanics
Lab Testing + VO₂ Max + Lactate Thresholds

No other run-specific testing package in Brisbane combines metabolic lab testing, blood lactate sampling, running economy measurement and strength performance testing into a single integrated profile. Each data stream informs the others — your economy score is read in the context of your strength findings, and your zones are built from lactate and VO₂ Max data, not formulas.

Common Questions

Runner Package FAQ

How is this different from just booking the individual tests?
The package brings the key run-specific assessments together — VO₂ Max and running economy, lactate threshold, force-plate strength and power — in a coordinated, clinician-led testing session with integrated reporting through elite software. Rather than piecing together separate appointments and reports, you get one profile that connects your economy, strength findings and training zones.
Do I need to keep coming to the clinic?
No. This is a testing and assessment package — the protocols are completed at the clinic, then your results and accurate training zones are yours to apply in your own training, wherever you run. If you'd like help acting on the data you can add a coaching consult, and re-testing is available when you want to track your progress (ask us about our current re-testing offers).
What race distances does this suit?
All of them — the testing suits runners from 5K through to marathon and ultra. Your results identify accurate training zones, race-pace guidance and the physical, mechanical and metabolic factors affecting your running, which you can apply to whatever distance you're targeting.
Can I share my results with my existing coach?
Absolutely. Your test data, training zones and strength findings are documented in a format designed to be shared with a coach or training partner. Many runners use the package to give their existing coach a clear physiological and biomechanical foundation to build their program from.
How soon will I notice improvements?
Training to accurate, individualised zones usually improves your pacing confidence and the quality of your sessions straight away. Measurable changes in VO₂ Max and running economy typically show up over a training block of roughly 8–12 weeks — a good point to re-test and recalibrate your zones. Actual race improvements depend on your training consistency and individual factors.
How much does the Complete Runner Package cost in Brisbane?
The Complete Runner Package at GymTherapy is $419. It brings together VO2 Max and running economy, blood lactate threshold, and force-plate strength and power in one clinician-led testing session, with an integrated report and accurate, run-specific training zones you can apply to any distance from 5K to ultra.
Where can I do the Complete Runner Package in Brisbane?
You can book the Complete Runner Package at GymTherapy's three Brisbane clinics — West End (Studio 99, 387 Montague Road), Newstead (Club Bunker, 27b Doggett Street) and Woolloongabba / East Brisbane (993 Stanley Street East). Open Mon–Fri 6am–8pm and Sat 6am–1pm — no referral required.
