WHAT is metabolic fingerprinting?

Metabolic fingerprinting measures your unique physiological traits to show exactly how your body produces energy during exercise.

Through lactate testing, VO₂max testing, and threshold assessments, we identify your:

  • Body composition

  • VO₂max (aerobic capacity)

  • Lactate thresholds (aerobic and anaerobic turning points)

  • Carbohydrate and fat utilization

  • Recovery profile

This gives you a clear picture of your strengths, limitations, and the precise zones you need to train in.

WHY should athletes use metabolic fingerprinting?

Metabolic fingerprinting brings pro-level insights to everyday athletes.

With your test results, you can:

  • Personalize your training with precision based on lactate, VO₂max, and threshold data.

  • Optimize your fueling strategy for endurance events by knowing how much carbohydrate and fat your body uses at different intensities.

  • Enhance endurance by targeting your exact physiological needs, not generic training plans.

  • Track progress with sensitive measures that reveal improvements in aerobic capacity, lactate clearance, and efficiency over time.

Athletes preparing for marathons, triathlons, or cycling races use these insights to train smarter and race faster.

HOW does metabolic fingerprinting work?

1. Testing Session

You’ll complete a science-led exercise protocol including:

  • VO₂max testing to measure your aerobic ceiling

  • Lactate testing to identify your thresholds and fatigue resistance

  • Threshold testing (aerobic and anaerobic) to set your training zones

  • Body composition analysis

The Enhanced metabolic test procedure takes about 2 hours and can be split into 1 or 2 sessions.

2. Data Analysis

Your results are processed with our proprietary software to calculate:

  • VO₂max

  • Lactate turning points (LT1 and LT2)

  • Carbohydrate and fat utilization curves

  • Recovery metrics

  • Body fat %

3. Customized Insights

You’ll receive a detailed report with actionable recommendations:

  • Personalized training zones (heart rate, power, or pace)

  • Fueling strategies matched to your physiology

  • Targeted training recommendations to overcome weaknesses and build on strengths

Stop guessing and start training with clarity.
