About Service
Your metabolism determines how efficiently your body uses energy — at rest, during movement, and under stress. Until now, understanding your metabolic health meant relying on rough estimates, generic formulas, or trial-and-error.
At Previvo, we use the CardioMetabolic Analysis Assessment, the gold-standard tool for measuring your:
- RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate)
- AMR (Active Metabolic Rate)
- VO₂ (oxygen uptake)
- Fuel utilization (fat vs. carbohydrates)
- Aerobic capacity & metabolic efficiency
This is real, clinical data about how your body creates and uses energy — the cornerstone of longevity, fat loss, performance, and healthy aging.
What our CardioMetabolic Analysis Measures
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Your exact calorie burn at rest — no equations, no estimates. This reveals:
- How fast or slow your metabolism is
- How much you should eat for fat loss or muscle gain
- Whether hormones, stress, or age have slowed your metabolic function
Active Metabolic Rate (AMR)
Measured during controlled movement to determine:
- Aerobic efficiency
- VO₂ and breathing patterns
- How your metabolism responds to intensity
- Where you burn fat vs. carbs
- Your threshold zones for training and fat loss
Cardiovascular & Respiratory Performance Metrics
Get insights into:
- Oxygen efficiency
- CO₂ tolerance
- Breathing mechanics
- Endurance capacity
- Recovery speed
This is performance physiology, translated into real-life guidance.
Fuel Utilization
Learn exactly how much fat and carbohydrate your body uses at rest and during activity — unlocking personalized training and nutrition.
Why This Matters
Your metabolism is not a mystery — it’s measurable. And knowing these numbers changes everything.
This assessment helps you:
- Break through weight plateaus
- Train smarter, not harder
- Improve fat-burning efficiency
- Build aerobic capacity and performance
- Reduce metabolic slowdown
- Personalize your nutrition intake
- Understand why you’re tired or recovering poorly
- Support hormone and longevity programs with precision data
It’s the test that should replace guesswork forever

Frequently Asked Question
Can this help with fat loss or muscle performance?
Absolutely. Your metabolic flexibility and fat-burning capacity dictate how efficiently your body uses energy. With accurate heart-rate zones and nutrition recommendations, you’ll accelerate fat loss, build metabolic conditioning, and improve performance faster than with generic plans.
Do I need to combine this with a Peak Performance Consultation?
It’s optional — but highly recommended. The CardioMetabolic Analysis gives you elite-level data; the Peak Performance Consultation turns that data into a concrete, personalized strategy. Together, they create a blueprint for fat loss, muscle gain, endurance, cardiovascular health, and long-term performance.
Do I need to fast before the assessment?
Yes. A short fasting window ensures consistent and reliable metabolic measurements. You’ll receive simple instructions when you book (usually 4–6 hours without food and no caffeine before testing). This helps us measure your true resting metabolic rate and avoid fluctuations caused by recent meals.
How accurate are the results?
This is the most accurate method available today for measuring metabolic performance. Because it uses indirect calorimetry, the same technology used in hospitals and high-performance sports labs, your data reflects your true physiology — not estimates. This means precise training zones, true resting metabolic rate, and reliable insights into fat and carbohydrate utilization.
How is this different from standard fitness testing at a gym?
Most gym tests estimate your fitness levels using indirect formulas. Our assessment uses clinical-grade indirect calorimetry and real-time breath analysis, giving you lab-accurate insights. You walk away with precision data used by elite athletes, medical programs, and high-performance labs — all tailored to your unique physiology.
How long does the test take?
Most assessments take about 30–40 minutes, including setup, calibration, and guided warm-up. You’ll receive your full metabolic report immediately after the test, with clear explanations of each metric and how to apply it to your training, nutrition, and recovery.
How often should I repeat a VO2 Max test?
Most patients retest every 3–6 months to track progress and update their training zones. As your fitness improves, your metabolism adapts — retesting ensures your program evolves with you.
Is this only for athletes?
Not at all. This test is incredibly valuable for beginners, busy professionals, people wanting to lose weight, and anyone looking to understand their body better. Knowing your metabolism removes guesswork — you’ll know exactly how to train for your physiology.
Is this safe for all fitness levels, including beginners?
Yes. The protocol is completely customized to your current fitness and comfort level. Whether you’re new to training, returning from injury, or already competing at a high level, the test adapts to your pace. You’re monitored the entire time, and intensity increases gradually to keep you safe.
Is this the same as a regular VO₂ max test?
No — this assessment goes far beyond a traditional VO₂ max test. While VO₂ max is included, we also measure your metabolic rate, oxygen efficiency, fat-burning versus carb-burning zones, respiratory stability, and overall metabolic flexibility. This creates a complete profile of how your body performs under stress, at rest, and during exercise — something a basic VO₂ test cannot provide.
What does this test help me understand?
This assessment reveals your:
- Metabolic age and metabolic efficiency
- Resting metabolic rate (RMR)
- Fat vs. carbohydrate utilization
- Aerobic and anaerobic thresholds
- VO₂ max and oxygen efficiency
- Optimal heart-rate training zones
Recovery capacity These insights help you train smarter, avoid burnout, prevent plateaus, and build endurance with precision.
