VO2 Max Testing in Miami. Know your engine. Train with real numbers.
Get a physician-supervised VO2 max test in Miami, FL at our Brickell clinic. A metabolic cart measures your aerobic capacity breath by breath — your true VO2 max, your ventilatory thresholds, and heart-rate training zones built for your physiology, not a formula.

Every Miami runner and cyclist has a VO2 max number on their wrist — and most of those numbers are off by 10% or more. Wearables guess from heart rate and pace. A clinical test measures the oxygen you actually use, breath by breath.
VO2 max is also one of the strongest known predictors of long-term health and all-cause mortality. At Strong Health Miami, you get the same graded exercise protocol used in exercise physiology labs, performed at our Brickell clinic, with results you can train on the same day.

What to expect at your Miami VO2 max test
What you get from a Strong Health VO2 max test
Your report goes far beyond a single number. Here's everything included with every VO2 max test at our Miami clinic.
Your VO2 Max Score
Measured directly in ml/kg/min (plus METs) — the single strongest fitness predictor of long-term health and longevity.
Age & Sex Percentile
See exactly where you rank against your cohort — your "fitness age" — and what moving up a bracket would take.
Ventilatory Thresholds
VT1 and VT2, the two physiological breakpoints that define easy, steady, and hard effort for your body specifically.
Personal Training Zones
Heart-rate zones 1–5 anchored to your measured thresholds — not a generic 220-minus-age formula.
Fuel Utilization
Calorie burn and your fat-vs-carbohydrate crossover point, so you know what your body actually burns at each intensity.
Trend Tracking
Side-by-side comparison reports across re-tests, so you can see your engine improving over months and years.
Built for Miami athletes and anyone training for the long game
Runners, cyclists & triathletes
Training for the Miami Marathon, riding the Rickenbacker, or racing on Key Biscayne? Anchor your zones to measured thresholds and stop guessing at pace in the heat.
Pair it with a DEXA scan →Longevity & healthspan

Real numbers from real Miami athletes
Training for the Miami Marathon, my watch had my VO2 max at 52. The lab test at Strong Health measured 47 — and more importantly gave me real thresholds. I rebuilt my zones around VT2 and my long runs finally stopped falling apart at mile 16.
Running in Miami heat, I was always guessing at effort. Knowing my actual thresholds changed everything — I slowed my easy days down, sped my interval days up, and my half-marathon time dropped six minutes in one season.
I ride the Rickenbacker three mornings a week. After the test I started doing my causeway intervals right at VT2 instead of just hammering. Re-tested five months later: VO2 max up four points. Data beats guessing.
