Your test is just the beginning. ⚡

At Athlete Lab, the session itself is only part of the experience. Here's what happens after you leave:

📊 A DETAILED REPORT
Within 48 hours, you receive a comprehensive, individualised report — clear, visual, and built around your data.

🎯 ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS
We don't just tell you where you are. We tell you exactly what needs to change — and how — to move you closer to your goals.

📞 A FOLLOW-UP CALL
Included as standard. We walk you through your results, answer every question, and make sure you leave with complete clarity on your next steps.

Data without insight is meaningless.

Data + Insight = Success

One of the hardest things to know when booking your VO2 max is if your result is REALLY your true VO2 max.

There are 2 main reasons for this:
1. Some testing protocols won't push you to your true limit, using predetermined limits based on time or other measures that might mean you never reach a true max. At Athlete Lab we make sure (safely of course!) that you are getting a true representation of your maximum capacity.

2. All equipment kit is not all created equal. Unfortunately there are many metabolic testing systems out there and the accuracy and consistency of measurement can be problematic... to put it mildly.

An essential part your experience is having confidence that the team at Athlete Lab truly understand what good data looks like and how to get it.

We only use the leading metabolic analysis brands on the market (currently Cosmed), not cheaper and/or inaccurate tech that unfortunately many people aren't aware (even those using them) are not accurate enough to be practically useful.

We're not going to bash on certain brands, or businesses, but if you are going to book your test then it is important to know what equipment is used (so ask!) and to research the accuracy of those devices (particularly portable or wearable devices).

You need to know how accurate and reliable your results are and how confident you should be in the data to make informed training decisions... and of course, not throw away your hard earned money on bad data.

How we turn data into better performance...

Prior to your testing session we want to learn as much as possible about you to help us create the right protocols for you, and to make sure (alongside our conversations with you around your testing) that the data we analyse and recommendations we make are placed in the context of your goals and desired outcomes.

Once we know you better, and collected your data, our experts look at your profile, analyse your data and assess the relationship between your key metrics and your goals to identify the most effective approaches that you can use to improve your performance.

How does your engine translate to speed?
Do you use your engine efficiently?
How well can you sustain specific effort levels?
How do you best target the adaptations you need to get the most out of your performance?

All these questions answered... and more... with our report and follow-up consultation that comes as STANDARD with every booking.

After each of our sessions we make recommendations based on your data.

The one area that MOST recreational athletes can improve on is their running economy.

Running economy accounts for around 30-40% of performance and many of you are leaving bucket loads of performance on the table.

We measure economy by looking at your oxygen consumption per km (similar to miles per gallon in a car), from this we can infer how much performance gain you could get by implementing specific training that has been shown to improve economy and (again!) training that many athletes aren't doing effectively... if at all.

If you want to go another level deeper, we can assess key metrics that relate to economy (strength, power, gait analysis) to create an even more individualised program to pick those low hanging performance fruit.

WE ARE TWO YEARS OLD...

Well we were last week 😁

Our website was officially launched in January 2024, with not much more than an idea, a lot of experience and a desire to help people become better.

We didn't even have a location to work out of fully at that time... just the belief that if we built it 'you' would come.

And that you did.

Within 6 months went from a one man band to a dynamic duo.

Despite getting the big fat ❌️ from everyone we reached out to for partnerships initially, being told it wouldn't have the market to work, we've now tested over 300 people, partnered with global brands, and had consistent and rapid growth.

We couldn't have done it without you.

Here's what the next 12 months holds...
Expansion to a more purpose built location.
Upgrading equipment and some new toys to play with.

Cheers 🍻 to another year!

We're not sorry. We're different.

It's not our standardised, validated testing processes that makes us special.

It's not even our understanding of how to choose and use the most accurate equipment.

It's our ability to innovate, create the most accurate analysis and predictive performance outcomes.

It's the years of experience and expertise to understand 'you', your unique physiology and how to get the most out of your performance.

Data without insight is meaningless.

Come and join the fun
