Why should you get testing
You can make far more progress when you actually understand your body, what it needs, what are your strengths and weaknesses and also what is or isn’t working.
At Perform180 our testing can give you clear data on your fitness, training zones, strength, metabolism, and caloric needs, so you can stop guessing and start making better decisions.
Whether your goal is sports performance, weight loss, better health, or long-term progress, testing helps you know what to focus on, track exactly what is working, and maximise your results.
Sports
-
Understand the physiology behind your running performance. We help identify your aerobic fitness, threshold speeds, running economy, strength profile and key limiters, so your training is based on data rather than guesswork.
-
Balance swim, bike and run training with clearer insight into your physiology. Testing helps you understand your aerobic engine, lactate thresholds, fuelling demands and where your biggest performance gains are likely to come from.
-
HYROX demands more than just fitness. We help you understand whether your limiter is running speed, aerobic capacity, strength endurance, pacing, or your ability to recover between stations; then guide your training from there.
-
Understand your cycling physiology with testing that shows your aerobic capacity, lactate thresholds, training zones and efficiency. This helps you pace better, train smarter and track real improvements over time.
-
Team sport performance relies on speed, power, repeat-effort ability and resilience. Our testing helps identify strengths, weaknesses and physical benchmarks, giving you clearer direction for training, rehab and return to sport.
-
Combat sports require strength, power, endurance and the ability to repeat high-intensity efforts under fatigue. We help you understand your physiology so conditioning, recovery and performance work are targeted to the demands of your sport.
Who do we work with
Perform180 is for anyone who wants to understand their body and make more informed decisions about their health, fitness, or performance. That might mean improving general fitness, supporting weight loss or pushing towards a specific performance goal in running, cycling, HYROX, gym training, or sport. Whether you simply want to improve or you are trying to maximise your results, our testing gives you clear data to guide the next step, break plateaus and reach your true potential.
We can tailor our testing services to you and your goals making sure that you get real actionable data that can help you perform.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A standalone VO2 max test takes 1hr, with a lactate test taking 75 minutes. For the combined session we would allow 90 minutes total.
-
For the standalone VO2 max test the results will be generated instantly. For The combined session or the blood lactate we will typically have your report ready within 48hrs. For the full performance profile we aim to get the full report within 72hrs but this does depend on the complexity of the session.
-
This depends on the level of insight you are looking for. Some people do have a one off test but the real magic with testing is the ability to measure your training effect. Commonly this results in a re-test every 3,6 or 12 months.
-
The best time to get tested is now.
A lot of people think they need to “get fitter first” before doing performance testing, but testing is most useful at the start because it shows exactly where you are now and what you need to focus on.
By understanding your current fitness, training zones, metabolism, or strength profile, we can help you make better decisions from day one. You can then retest later to track what has actually changed and see the real impact your training, nutrition, or lifestyle changes have had.
-
Yes, to ensure accurate results we have a strict pre testing protocol for each service. This protocol will be sent over to you upon booking with details also available on the individual service page.
-
No! We provide the option to spread the cost of your testing over a number of months.
