VO2 Max & Resting Metabolic Rate Testing
Know what your body is actually capable of.
Most of us track our health the way we track a car — by the gas gauge. Weight goes up, weight goes down. Useful, but it says almost nothing about how the engine is actually running.
VO2 max — $175 How the engine performs under load. How efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise — and one of the strongest predictors we have of long-term healthspan and longevity. You'll get your precise fitness score, personalized heart rate zones, and where you sit against your age group and a performance schedule on how to improve it.
The Tests

What to Expect
You don't need to be a Sparq Health patient. Testing is open to anyone.
VO2 max takes about fifteen minutes on a treadmill at a gradually increasing incline, wearing a heart rate strap and a mask that measures your breathing. Book it any time of day — just no hard exercise in the 24 hours before.
RMR is a resting test, no exertion. About forty-five minutes, and you'll need to arrive fasted — so a morning slot works best.
Book them separately. The prep is different for each, so they work better as two visits than one.
There are a couple of short forms to complete online at least 72 hours before your visit. We'll send everything you need as soon as you book, along with full prep instructions and directions to the office.
