How Fitness Professionals Can Deliver Elite Results and Build a More Successful Business: The VO2 Master Solution

The fitness and sports performance industry is evolving fast and fitness professionals and performance specialists today have more technology than ever—power meters, HR monitors, and more. And yet the industry is facing the same recurring challenges that you continuously address: athletes and clients still struggle to understand what to do, how hard to go, what to eat and what to do when they hit a plateau. 

The VO2 Master solution helps you solve those client needs. The analyzer, app and reports give fitness professionals a ready-to-deploy performance system that delivers clarity, confidence, measurable outcomes, and a new revenue stream—without needing more space, extra staff, or advanced physiology credentials. Its portability and simplicity remove every barrier to excellent client and business success.

Bottom line: It gives you the solution to why your clients need you and your expertise over the devices they use at home.



Why Fitness Pros Need to Stand Out 

Fitness technology is everywhere. But technology alone doesn’t create transformation. Many of your clients probably already own:

  • heart rate monitors, GPS trackers, smartwatches, sleep trackers, cycling power meters

Despite that, they still ask you the same questions:

  • “Am I training in the right zone?”
  • “Why am I not improving?” or “what should I do to get better results?”
  • “What should my recovery look like?”
  • “Am I eating enough—or too much?”
  • “How do I pace this race?”
  • “What’s holding my conditioning back?”

This is exactly what the VO2 Master insights are built to solve and gives your coaching superior value.

Metabolic testing gives professionals knowledge their clients need:

  • real VO2 max
  • ventilatory thresholds
  • training zones based on physiology, not algorithms
  • recovery capacity insights
  • sport-specific demand insights
  • compatibility with leading devices

This knowledge is now possible and is the core of personalized coaching and athlete development.

Global customer experience with VO2 Master have shown that metabolic testing:

  • improves training precision
  • enhances endurance outcomes
  • increases athlete buy-in and long-term retention

For fitness pros, adding metabolic insights isn’t about having “cool technology.”

It’s about giving clients what they need from you: a clear, customized, science-backed plan for improvement that produces results. Kristian Blummenfelt, Triathlete, 2025, 2022 Ironman World Champion and 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist.
