Am I doing everything right?

And that is what a VO2 Max test will reveal.

At 19 years old, my client has built a big engine as per his VO2 results.

The test also revealed where he should invest more time to develop into a BEAST of a cyclist!

Yes, he is young and has the potential to build an even bigger engine but he needs to focus on several other areas to reach the podium this year.

And that is what VO2 Max testing provides…

✅SAVE TIME
✅Elimate weakness by identifying them
✅Train specifically for the races you want to podium in

“I Got You!”

I work with certain clients that inspire me to raise my game and knowledge to the next level.

They demand the best from themselves with rigorous training and a disciplined approach.

I respect their effort and devotion into the TIME invested into training and improving their health.

The most important thing we have is TIME!

✅This is is why I schedule all tests and appointments around my CLIENT’S schedule, not mine.

✅This is why I only see 10 clients per week.

✅This is why each appointment time is 2 hours.

✅This is why all my clients and patients have 24/7 access to me with any and all questions.

✅This is why I am available on Saturday and Sunday.

✅This is why I provide in home testing, at your gym, your bike shop, or my office.

It’s all about you, your goals and saving you time and reducing frustration!!

Are you investing your time training with precision or are you missing out on power and endurance?🤔

Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to save time and train with precision a VO2 Max Test!

How did I learn about endurance, power generation and fatigue suppression for athletes?For over 9 years I drove up and fown the east coast, setting up tents at every Gran Fondo event and literally de-briefed the cyclists.How did I get them to divulge their knowledge?After each 100+ mile event, I would offer each cyclist a seat in reclining chair with an ice cold beverage, multiple high speec fans, and Normatec compression boots.I had their attention for 20-30 mintues which gave me enough time to inquire about their training, fueling, and mis-steps.You can learn from a book and YouTube…-BUT-Talking with thousands of endurance athletes provides wisdom from thousands of experiences!The top finishers were also the cyclists that trained a majority of their time in Zone 2 (fat burning zone) which was determined by a VO2 Max Test.Unlike the finishers that struggled which trained with much less precision and “guessed” their Zone 2.Lack of precision and understanding of how and when the body uses fat and carbohydrates can be the the difference between finishing on the podium and struggling to even finish. How about you?Are you training with precision or are you missing out on power and endurance?🤔Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to save time and train with precision a VO2 Max Test!

This is the best part of performing VO2 Max Tests, discovering clients with exceptional fitness and health, without them even knowing!

My client just recently started cycling with no significant cycling training.

He genuinely had no idea how he was going to do.

I asked him what has been his personal history with exercise and he was a book worm with limited athletic involvement…

-BUT-

He was a skateboarder!!!!

Skateboarding is a fantastic lie intensity activity, PERFECT for fat burning!

And his VO2 Max Test revealed a SUPERIOR VO2 Max Score and his ability to use body fat for fuel was EXCEPTIONAL!!!

The test also revealed the precise heart rate to train and exercise in order to burn body fat for fuel!

🛑No Guesswork!
🛑No Frustration!
🛑No need for weight loss drugs!
🛑Save Time and 💲

✅Achieve your fat loss goals
✅Optimize your health

Are you trying to lose body fat by running or cycling with little to no success?

In my 38ys of experience it’s usually due to:

1. Taking in more calories than you are using

Or

2. Your training at to high of an intensity which burns sugar not fat.

If your goal is to lose body fat than you should at least know:

1. Current percent body fat
2. Total fat mass
3. Total skeletal muscle mass
4. Accurate heart rate zone for your body/physiology

The first 3 can be obtained from a body composition device such as InBody.

Your personalized fat burning heart rate zone (zone 2) can only be accurately calculated by having a VO2 Max test performed.

A VO2 Max test tells your precisely at what heart rate/intensity you need to maintain, while exercising, to burn fat.

If your exercising too hard, you have the potential to lose skeletal muscle and not fat.

Yes, you will be lighter on the scale.

Yes, your clothes may fit better.

But your losing muscle and getting fatter, both not on your list of goals!

I provide VO2 Max testing for triathletes, coaches, personal trainers, and their clients, so they can validate their workouts with science and focus on losing fat and gaining muscle.

With precision training you will get leaner and build a massive gas tank!

All that is required is a treadmill or bicycle (compatible with a Wahoo Kicker).

Are you looking to achieve your goal sooner or later?

Let me know if you have any questions regarding VO2 Max Testing and how it can significantly dial in your training!

Do I believe VO2 max testing should be a mandatory test across your lifespan?

Yes!

It’s more than just a tool to measure fitness.

It’s an assessment to measure metabolic health, efficiency, cardiorespiratory and long-term health.

But the 🔑 is what to do with the information?

Are your “ok” with a low or average VO2 Max Score?🤨

It may work for you now, but you must have an above average/excellent score to be independent and lead a disease free life in your 50’s and on!

So, do you want to take a look into your future?🤔

All it takes is about 10-15 minutes breathing through a mask while walking on a treadmill.

That’s right!

It’s that simple with immediate results and review!

Don’t take your current or future health to chance!👊🏻

One Zone 2 workout will do nothing for you except reduce your stress and burn some calories.

But once you start dedicating time to yourself and this one life you have, you can develop redicolous redults in as few as 4 months:

✅Lose Body Fat
✅Reduce Visceral Fat
✅Build Endless Endurance
✅Increase Capilary Density
✅Create Insulin Sensitivity

Training too hard burns sugar!

I never heard anyone say:

“My goal is to be a more efficient sugar burner “🤨

Have you?

Your personalized fat burning heart rate zone (zone 2) can only be accurately calculated by having a VO2 Max test performed.

A VO2 Max test tells your precisely at what heart rate/intensity you need to maintain, while exercising, to burn fat.

If your exercising too hard, you have the potential to lose skeletal muscle and not fat.

Yes, your clothes may fit better.

But your losing muscle and getting fatter, both not on your list of goals.

I provide VO2 Max testing for personal trainers, and their clients, so they can validate their workouts with science and focus on losing fat and gaining muscle.

All that is required is a treadmill and/or stationary bike!

Are you looking to achieve your goal sooner or later?

You will achieve your goals sooner once you stop guessing and start measuring!
