GymTherapy’s VO₂ Max testing uses the advanced VO2 Master system to deliver precise, data-driven results. This assessment helps you understand the maximal amount of oxygen your cardiovascular system can uptake, transport, and use during strenuous or maximal activity. In simple terms, it’s a VO2 max measurement that reveals your body’s peak oxygen usage during intense exercise, giving you a clear indicator of cardiovascular capacity.
Whether through a VO2 max treadmill test or other sport-specific testing setups, your results provide insight into endurance and anaerobic performance – this is crucial for sports such as running, triathlons, football, AFL, cycling, swimming, and rowing. It’s also an important measure of cardiovascular health and longevity, with higher VO₂ Max levels linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases.
At GymTherapy, each session includes VO2 max mask fitting for comfort and accuracy, with the VO2 Master providing reliable and valid data for personalised recommendations. Our VO2 Max testing process, paired with detailed VO2 Master analysis, ensures you get the most out of your training and reach your performance and health goals.
This is more than testing. It's the gold standard, data-driven and clinician led approach to unlocking your full potential – helping you train smarter, recover better, and perform at your peak.

- VO2 Max measures the maximum oxygen consumption during intense exercise, reflecting the body’s peak oxygen usage and aerobic capacity. During a VO2 Max test, participants are required to exercise at maximum effort until they can no longer increase their oxygen consumption.
- It is a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and endurance performance, providing valuable insights into an individual’s cardiovascular potential. Maximum heart rate is often measured during VO2 Max testing to help determine training zones for optimal performance.
- Your VO2 Max is one of the strongest indicators of longevity, health span and mortality risk, serving as a key metric in designing longevity specific training interventions.
- VO2 Max testing can help determine an individual’s ventilation threshold, allowing for more effective training and improved endurance performance. This testing is particularly useful for optimising endurance training strategies for athletes.
- It can also provide information on an individual’s energy systems, including their ability to utilise oxygen and produce energy during exercise. VO2 Max is especially relevant for those participating in endurance activity, such as running, cycling, or triathlon.
- VO2 Max is an essential metric for endurance athletes, as it can help optimise training programs and improve overall performance.
