Information
Lab testing pinpoints the intensity where your body burns the most fat—highly individual and typically in the moderate range, not a one-size-fits-all chart.
Training at your measured FatMax/Zone-2 improves fat-oxidation capacity, body comp and glycaemic control while staying sustainable.
Generic machine readouts are often wrong; a breath-by-breath test gives your true fat-burn heart-rate/power range.
Load lab-derived zones to Garmin/Apple/WHOOP; consumer VO₂/zone estimates can deviate from gold-standard measurements.
Knowing FatMax helps spare glycogen so steady sessions feel easier and last longer—great for fat loss when paired with smart nutrition.

FAQs
It pinpoints your FatMax—the exact heart-rate where you burn the most fat—plus your true Zone 2 so longer sessions melt fat without wrecking you.
No—the test gives precision; fat loss still needs a calorie deficit, enough protein, and consistent training.
It’s a gentle ramp that stops when you hit your max sustainable effort; it’s supervised and tailored to your level.
Arrive hydrated, avoid hard training 24h before; have a light meal 3 hours before your test and avoid caffeine 3 hours prior to testing, bring your watch/HR strap if you have one, but don’t worry if you don’t because we will supply one for the test.
Choose the mode you’ll train with most. If you like to walk (even dog walking), or run then choose the treadmill, if you are going to cycle inside or outside then choose to do the test on the bike or we can even test you on your favourite piece of cardiovascular equipment.
Do 2–4 sessions at your FatMax/Zone 2, add 1 short interval or tempo session if appropriate, lift 2–3 days/week, and keep steps high. The team will help you with that bit.
Most people feel easier long sessions within 6–8 weeks; re-test every 8–12 weeks to update zones as your engine improves.
Yes—we’ll push your zones to Garmin/Apple/WHOOP/TrainingPeaks so your device coaches you to stay in the fat-burn sweet spot. Again the team will show you how to do this, making it easy to track the level you are working at and monitor your improvements.
