Because we recognize that no two people have the same health and fitness needs, the Fitness Forum offers a variety of specialized services designed to benefit you!

VO2Max and Lactate Testing

  1. Maximal Heart Rate- direct measure during the test using Polar Monitor or EKG. Estimations can be as much as 10-15% off especially for individuals over age 40.
  2. Anaerobic Threshold- This is the level at which you begin to burn more carbohydrates. It is the point used to separate Heart Rate Zone 2 from Zone 3.
  3. Respiratory Compensation- This is the level at which your body cannot keep up with the C02 production. It is the point at which Heart Zone 5 begins. This level can only be held for short periods of time such as interval training.
  4. Peak V02 - This is the maximal amount of 02 uptake during exercise. This is the end point for Zone 5.

Whether you are an elite athlete or recreational exerciser you can benefit from an accurate individualized exercise prescription. For more information or to schedule and appointment, contact Karen Leatherman.

Fitness Assessment
If the VO2 max test seems too serious for you then you may be interested in a series of physical tests that provide you with your general fitness level based on your age and sex. These tests include, a 9-minute sub maximal bike ride or walk on a treadmill, a sit and reach test measuring flexibility, a 1-minute abdominal crunch test to measure strength and endurance and finally a push up test (regular or modified) to measure upper body strength. Following the test, you will receive a copy of the results and your examiner will provide you with an exercise plan based on those results and the goals you wish to achieve.

Committed to you... from start to fitness.
