Body Composition & Performance.

Bioelectrical impedance breaks your body weight into compartments: muscle mass, fat mass (total and by region), water, and visceral (organ-area) fat. It's not perfect-perfect — DEXA is the research gold standard — but it's consistent enough to track real changes over time, which is what most clients need.

Yes, often. VO2 max is one of the strongest single predictors of long-term health and mortality in published research. It tells you where your cardiovascular fitness actually sits relative to your age group — useful data whether you train for races or just want to live well into your 80s.

Skip food, caffeine, and exercise for 3–4 hours before. Hydrate normally. Wear athletic clothes and closed shoes for VO2 max. Sleep normally the night before — being well-rested gets you a more accurate read.

Yes — and we often recommend it. The baseline gives you something real to track against. Re-testing every 3–6 months during the program is one of the most motivating practices our clients add.

InBody is consistent enough to track real change over time — that's its core value. For absolute precision, DEXA scan is the gold standard but requires specialized equipment elsewhere. VO2 max with breath-gas analysis is the gold standard for fitness assessment.

No. Many clients come in for baseline testing alone or pair it with their primary care follow-up. The data is useful regardless of where you do the follow-up work.

InBody is ~15 minutes including interpretation. VO2 max + InBody is ~60 minutes.

None. VO2 max is physically demanding for the 10–15 minutes of the graded test itself, but you recover quickly.

InBody alone $50. VO2 max + InBody $250.
