The lab

Performance testing — VO₂, InBody, 3D scan

The lab that gives the club its name. Ninety minutes of measurement that turns 'I think I'm fitter' into 'here's the number'.

The service

Know what you're actually working with

Guessing is how people train hard for a year and go nowhere. The lab measures body composition, aerobic engine, posture and movement quality — then your program is built on what the instruments say.

Three tiers of assessment: the quick InBody scan, the full performance panel with VO₂ and lactate, and the 3D posture map that shows which hip you favour before you feel it.

  • InBody 770 composition scan — 90 seconds
  • VO₂ max + lactate threshold on bike or treadmill
  • 3D posture and movement scan
  • Written report your coach uses to build the program
  • Retest included on most memberships

The process

Your lab session, start to finish

Ninety minutes door to door for the full panel. Come rested and unfed-ish.

0:00

Check in

Light clothing, no big meal inside three hours, caffeine is fine (we're not monsters).

0:10

InBody + 3D scan

Composition first, then the posture map — stand still, the scanner does the work.

0:25

Movement screen

Squat, hinge, reach, rotate — filmed and scored against reference ranges.

0:40

VO₂ max

Ramp protocol on the erg until the numbers plateau. It's uncomfortable for about four minutes — Priya has talked hundreds through it.

1:15

Report read-out

Sit down with a physiologist, walk through every number, leave with a plan.

In practice

Inside the lab

Instruments, ergos and a whiteboard full of zones.

VO2 max mask and metabolic cart screen

The rig

Gas analysis while you ramp — the mask is the famous part.

3D body scan avatar on screen

The avatar

Your posture in 3D — symmetry scores per segment.

Coach and member reviewing report charts

The read-out

Every number explained before you leave the room.

Who's coaching

Priya runs the numbers

Exercise physiologist, ex-national swim squad, and the person who decides what your heart rate zones actually are. She's tested over two thousand athletes and still checks calibration herself every morning.

Her favourite lab line: 'The mask isn't uncomfortable. The last thirty seconds are.'

Questions

Before you ask

Yes — the ramp is supervised by a physiologist and you can stop any time. Submaximal options exist if you'd rather not go to the wall.

A written report with every metric, your zones, and program notes — plus the data lives in the app so your retest overlays on top.

No — we test visiting athletes and corporate groups all the time. Non-members book the same prices shown here.

Every six weeks if you're in a training block, quarterly if you're maintaining. Club tier gets one free scan a quarter; Reserve gets monthly.
