Complete Athlete Profiling

£895 · 3 hours

VO₂ max testing with blood lactate, resting metabolic rate, movement strategy analysis and force plate testing, with a separate steady-state sweat and hydration session. Interpreted together in one report.

VO₂ Max Test

£200 · 1 hour

Breath-by-breath oxygen and carbon dioxide analysis on the KORR CardioCoach Max. VO₂ max, ventilatory thresholds, measured maximum heart rate, training zones, substrate use across intensities and FatMax. No blood sample.

Endurance Performance Profile

£300 · 60–90 minutes

Everything in the VO₂ Max Test, with blood lactate sampled through the protocol. Both threshold systems, the lactate curve, FatMax and fuel use, with zones in your own pace or power.

Resting Metabolic Rate Assessment

£135 · 20–30 min

Resting energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry rather than predicted from age, height, weight and sex. Your daily requirement is then estimated from that measured figure.

Sweat & Hydration Assessment

£150 · 90 minutes

A steady-state session of 45–60 minutes at an intensity relevant to your event, with fluid balance measured across it. Separates sweat rate, sweat sodium concentration and total sodium loss per hour.

Movement Strategy Analysis

£300 · 1 hour

What movement options are available to you and which strategy you rely on to complete a task, assessed against a strategy-based model. Written report and training recommendations included.

Force & Power Profile

£150 · 1 hour

How you produce force when the time to produce it is limited. Braking, the transition into propulsion, impulse, timing, velocity, power and each limb’s contribution, on Hawkin Dynamics force plates.

Movement & Force Strategy Analysis

£400 · 2 hours

The Movement Strategy Analysis and the Force & Power Profile in one appointment, read together — what options you have, and how that strategy holds up when you have to produce force quickly.

Common questions

Where does testing take place?

At UNTIL Liverpool Street, 280 Bishops Square, London EC2M 4RB, and UNTIL Marylebone, 1 Orchard Street, London W1H 6HJ. All assessments are available at both sites by appointment.

What does each assessment cost?

Complete Athlete Profiling is £895. The VO₂ Max Test is £200 and the Endurance Performance Profile is £300. Movement Strategy Analysis is £300, the Force & Power Profile is £150, and the two together as the Movement & Force Strategy Analysis is £400. The Resting Metabolic Rate Assessment is £135. The Sweat & Hydration Assessment is £150.

How long does an assessment take?

The VO₂ Max Test, Movement Strategy Analysis and the Force & Power Profile each take about one hour. The Endurance Performance Profile takes 60 to 90 minutes and the Sweat & Hydration Assessment about 90 minutes. The Movement & Force Strategy Analysis takes about two hours. The Resting Metabolic Rate Assessment takes 20 to 30 minutes. Complete Athlete Profiling takes three hours, plus a separate sweat session on another day.

What equipment is used?

The KORR CardioCoach MAX for breath-by-breath gas analysis, Hawkin Dynamics force plates for power and neuromuscular assessment, and a blood lactate analyser for fingertip sampling at each test stage. Movement Strategy Analysis is an observational assessment rather than an instrumented one.

Is blood lactate included in the VO₂ Max Test?

Blood lactate is part of the Endurance Performance Profile (£300), not the VO₂ Max Test (£200). The Endurance Performance Profile samples lactate at every stage of the same protocol, so both threshold systems are measured together and can be read against each other. Both assessments return FatMax and fuel use across intensities.

When are results available?

Results are reviewed on screen at the end of the session. The written report is sent by email within 24 hours.

How should I prepare?

Arrive well-rested and well-hydrated. The Resting Metabolic Rate Assessment is measured fasted — at least four hours, and overnight is better. Fast for at least three hours before any other metabolic test. Avoid intense training the day before. Wear exercise kit.

How often should testing be repeated?

Every 12 to 16 weeks. That interval allows measurable physiological change to develop between tests.

Is coaching available?

Yes. In-person coaching is billed monthly — £740 a month for 4 sessions, £1,400 for 8, £2,000 for 12. Endurance Coaching is £250 a month and Integrated Performance Coaching is £350 a month. Hybrid Coaching is arranged by enquiry. Every coaching programme begins with an assessment.
