VO2 Max Testing
The score explained
evidence, testing and value, weighed before price
Why 9.0 of 10: Almost nothing on a wellness menu tells you this much per dollar: one number that grades your engine and gives your training a target. That is what a 9 looks like.
Scored as a treatment type, not any single venue. Diagnostics are judged on whether the number is true, useful and actionable.
- The single best measure of cardiorespiratory fitness
- One of the strongest known predictors of long-term health
- A real, trackable number you can train against
- Maximal test: you have to push to exhaustion
- Protocol quality varies between providers

Plain-language assessment of the human evidence. No cherry-picked citations.
