The Bike Ergometer Test provides a detailed breakdown of your cardiovascular fitness and energy system efficiency by analyzing your breathing gases during exercise. This test measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to determine your heart rate zones for different training purposes and assess your VO₂ max—the gold standard for aerobic capacity.
Unlike traditional heart rate estimations, this test delivers real data specific to you, allowing you to train smarter, not harder. By identifying your individual heart rate zones, you’ll know exactly how to structure your workouts for endurance, fat burning, high-intensity performance, or recovery. Whether you’re an endurance athlete, CrossFitter, or someone looking to maximize training efficiency, this test takes the guesswork out of your conditioning work.
The test is conducted on a bike ergometer, progressively increasing intensity while monitoring your breathing patterns and heart rate response. It typically takes between 16 and 24 minutes to complete. It does not measure lactate levels—so no poking with a needle—instead, it focuses on how efficiently your body utilizes oxygen and energy during exercise.
This service is available for both members and non-members, providing a science-backed way to refine your training for better results.
By analyzing your breath gases during exercise, we measure how your body processes oxygen and determine your heart rate zones and VO₂ max.
Heart rate zones help structure training for different goals—such as fat burning, endurance, high-intensity performance, or recovery—so you can train efficiently instead of relying on estimates.
The test typically lasts between 16 and 24 minutes, depending on your fitness level and progression through the intensity stages.
For the most accurate results:
– Do not eat or drink anything with calories for at least 2 hours before the test.
– Avoid caffeine and intense exercise for at least 6 hours before the test.
– No intense training for 24 hours before the test to ensure your body is in a rested state.
– Arrive hydrated and well-rested for the most reliable data.
Of course! This test is available for anyone looking to know more about their fitness level.
