Where Science Meets Sport You have to train at the right intensity if you want to see improvements in your fitness. Whether your goal is to increase speed or lose weight, intensity is the key ingredient to a successful plan. If you’re training too hard, you may be missing out on fat-burning workouts and setting yourself up for injury. If you're training too hard, you are most likely setting yourself up for a plateau and injuries. We provide training zones that are based on your Anaerobic Threshold (the point in exercise where your body stops using fat for fuel and begins to rely on glycogen). This gives you the ability to know when you’re training aerobically or an-aerobically. Without the error from formulas or time-trials, you know exactly when you are in your ideal fat burning, cardio, and threshold training zones. This allows you to be specific with each workout while eliminating guesswork. An aerobic base is the foundation for any fitness program. Without this base, plateaus and injury can impede success. With the ability to know exactly when you go anaerobic, we can control your workouts with specificity and achieve amazing results while staving off overtraining injuries.

PEAK FITNESS VO2 Testing - Designed for Athletes
With over 400 tests completed in the last 6 years, Peak Fitness is your best source for VO2 testing in San Antonio, Texas. From gyms to personal trainers, how do you know you're getting the very best test? Testing is not a simple process and the protocol used can determine whether or not your test is accurate - if not done properly will botch the test completely. My protocols are designed to take into account your ability, need for warm up (everyone's different), and strengths/weaknesses. From warm up to completion, you will be given the best testing protocol possible so we can get an accurate picture of what's going on inside. Run tests are performed on a treadmill and bike tests on a Computrainer using your bike.

What you get • Max VO2, max heart rate, and max workload • Anaerobic Threshold(AT) VO2, AT heart rate, AT workload • Bike tests: watts/kg at Max and AT • Performance feedback & tips to improve • 5 target heart rate zones based on your AT • Ideal percent of weekly volume spent in each zone Cost $150 (re-test is $120 if done within 12 months) Shedule your appointment 1) Please fill out our Release of Liability prior to your test. 2) Make your payment VO2 Test $150.00 VO2 Re-Test (within last 12 months) $120.00 VO2 Test Deposit $75.00 3) Contact us to schedule your test.

Why our tests are better:

• I have been VO2 testing athletes since 2004 and have worked with over 400 athletes in the last 6 years. Most gym testing centers do not have that kind of experience. • Having a degree in Kinesiology, I have the knowledge to understand the physiology behind the numbers and can interpret the data to find hidden meanings. • My protocols are designed for athletes. This means you will have a proper warm up, steady and well adjusted build during the test and finally a cool down to let your heart rate recover. • All of my cycling tests are done on a Computrainer using your bike, not an ergometer.
