Test, train and transform yourself - a guide to fitness testing

A major motivation for getting fit and healthy is to see the physical results - but it’s not all about weight loss.  There are many other ways to gauge the success of your exercise programme and healthier lifestyle. 

So what do we do?

• Assess muscular strength, body fat distribution, blood pressure and cardiac fitness
• VO2 exercise test – measures how many calories your body needs for exercise
• Provide unique statistics about your general state of health
• Identify the areas that need to be concentrated on

and how do we do it?

Here at The Exercise Lab we’re one of the first in the country to use cutting edge technology called Fitmate.  This state-of-the-art equipment has until now been limited to use in gauging the fitness of top athletes such as Paula Radcliffe.

• It uses oxygen analysis to measure cardiovascular fitness levels (these help us to accurately identify your strengths and weaknesses)
• We design bespoke training to specifically address these areas
• Your progress is monitored at regular intervals

Fitmate is also a key piece of technology for anyone training for specific events, such as marathons, as it allows you to plan your training really accurately.

Take a look at our Products and Latest News sections for more information about Fitmate.

The VO2 exercise test is designed to help people train smarter by working out which forms of exercise burn the most calories.  So whether you’re –

• An athlete wanting to fine-tune your training programme
• A former couch potato who wants to burn calories and get fit
• Someone who’s been exercising but not getting the desired results
• Someone who wants to lose weight

get in touch to find out how VO2 exercise testing can really help you to get the results you want or contact us today to find out more about how our other fitness testing methods can help you.
