VO2 Max Testing
VO2 max is the gold-standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness, and one of the strongest predictors of how long you will live.

higher risk of early death for the least fit adults, compared with the fittest.
Across 122,000 adults tracked for a decade, that gap was larger than the risk from smoking, diabetes, or heart disease.

Why VO2 Max Matters
VO2 Max Can Predict Your Longevity
One of the strongest predictors of healthspan
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness tracks with a longer life and more years lived without chronic disease, with benefit seen even at the highest levels.
Routine physicals do not measure it
A standard checkup rarely captures VO2 max. Two people with identical bloodwork can sit at very different levels of fitness, and that gap matters.
You can improve it
VO2 max rises with the right training, recovery, and metabolic support. That is where your plan comes in: a clear target and the steps to reach it.
It reveals your biological age
The same test shows how your body is aging on the inside, your biological age against the number on your license, so you know whether you are ahead or behind.
Case Study
From Below Average To High In 16 Weeks
A 46-year-old member started below average for his age. Sixteen weeks of targeted training, recovery, and metabolic support moved him into the high range, the fitness of someone years younger, and lowered his biological age with it.

What We Measure
Four Diagnostics In One Visit
In about 60 minutes we measure the four numbers that most shape how you age: your cardiorespiratory fitness, your vascular health, your strength and balance, and your body composition. Then your physician turns them into a plan.
VO2 Max Capacity
How much oxygen your body can use when you push hard, measured breath by breath on a treadmill.
It is one of the strongest predictors of how long you will live. It slips as you age, so a baseline now matters, and it is one of the few markers you can raise with training.
Arterial Response
A quick measure of how well your arteries respond, an early signal of vascular health that a routine physical often misses.
Completed in about 15 minutes.
Biometric Performance
A force-plate measure of power, balance, and left-to-right imbalances you cannot feel.
The kind that quietly lead to joint wear and lost mobility over time.
Body Composition
A precise read on your lean muscle and the visceral fat stored around your organs.
That visceral fat is a hidden driver of metabolic and cardiovascular risk.

Why Measure Now
After 40, Your VO2 Max Falls About 10% Every Decade
As your VO2 max falls, everyday effort gets harder and your risk of heart disease and early decline climbs. It is one of the few numbers you can train back up, so measuring it now gives you a clear target and years to protect.
- Early detection of cardiovascular and metabolic risk, years before symptoms
- Protects the strength, balance, and endurance that keep you independent
- A plan that adds healthy years, built from your numbers

Common Questions
Where can I get a VO2 max test near me in New Jersey?
We offer in-person VO2 max testing at our Caldwell, New Jersey clinic at 14 Smull Avenue, convenient to Essex County and Northern New Jersey. Nearby towns include North Caldwell, West Caldwell, Verona, Cedar Grove, Montclair, Bloomfield, Roseland, Essex Fells, Livingston, and Fairfield, roughly a 20-mile radius. You can book your visit here.
What is a good VO2 max score by age?
VO2 max is measured in millilitres of oxygen per kilogram per minute, and it declines with age, so a good score is always relative to your age and sex. As a rough guide, an average result sits in the low-to-mid 40s for men in their 20s and drifts toward the low 30s by their 60s, with women several points lower at each age. We read your result against age-and-sex norms so you know your percentile and how much room you have to climb.
How accurate is the VO2 max on my Apple Watch or Garmin?
Wearables estimate VO2 max from your heart rate and pace, which is useful for tracking trends but can be off by a meaningful margin. A clinical test measures the oxygen you actually use through a metabolic system while you work, the gold standard. If your watch number surprised you, an in-person test gives you your true baseline.
What is a VO2 max test, and why does it matter?
VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during hard effort. It reflects how well your heart, lungs, and muscles work together, and it is one of the strongest measurable predictors of long-term health. It is also a score you can improve with the right plan.
How much does a VO2 max test cost?
The Longevity Blueprint is $999, a $2,100 value, and includes VO2 max testing plus three more diagnostics, a physician results review, your personalized action plan, and a recovery IV session. It is a cash-pay program, and many services are HSA and FSA eligible.
Is a VO2 max test worth it?
If you want an honest measure of your cardiorespiratory fitness and a plan to improve it, yes. VO2 max is one of the few longevity markers you can measure precisely and move, and a physician-built plan turns that number into action rather than a report you file away.
How long does it take, and do I need to be fit?
Plan for about 60 minutes on site for all four measurements. You do not need to be fit. The VO2 max test is adjusted to your current level, and the goal is to establish an honest baseline you can build from.
Do you offer a longevity membership after the Blueprint?
Yes. Many members begin with the Blueprint, then continue with a CorAeon membership for year-round, physician-led care: 100+ biomarkers, monthly check-ins, and reassessments through the year. Ask us and we will walk you through the options.
Do you take insurance? Is it HSA or FSA eligible?
CorAeon is a cash-pay, direct-care practice and does not bill insurance. Many services are HSA and FSA eligible. Reach out to confirm eligibility for your plan.
