Because our evaluation is so comprehensive, there are a lot of steps involved. Follow the preparation guide below, then schedule your appointment when you're ready.
Before You Arrive
No strenuous exercise 24 hours prior to your visit. Your body needs to be ready to perform at its max on testing day.
Make sure you eat a light, low-fat meal 2 hours prior to your arrival. Don't come on an empty stomach — but don't overdo it either.
Please take your prescribed medications as normal. If you have any questions about a specific medication and testing, contact us beforehand.
What to Bring
T-shirt, shorts, and shoes for exercising. Females: please wear a halter top or sports bra for electrode placement during the treadmill test.
Because, hydration. Bring a full water bottle — you'll be doing real work today.
Bring a snack for after testing. The evaluation takes about 2 hours and you'll have earned it.
Please leave your bunker gear at the station. A bathroom is available if you need to change when you arrive.
On the Day
Our testing facility is located at 325 Cherry Street, Suite 110, Fort Collins, CO 80521. Open in Google Maps → Enjoy free street parking.
The full evaluation takes approximately 2 hours. Clear your schedule so you're not rushed — the testing is thorough by design.
We start by measuring your body fat. This gives us a foundational metabolic and cardiovascular risk marker before the active testing begins.
Next is pulmonary function testing to assess your lung capacity and airflow — an important piece of the overall cardiovascular picture.
You will walk and run on a treadmill wearing a mesh shirt to hold all the electrodes in place. This is the maximal stress test — you'll be pushed to your limit under full physician supervision. We take your blood pressure throughout — a lot. Tracking how it responds is a key part of the cardiovascular picture we're building.
We finish with arm, handgrip, and leg strength testing along with muscular endurance assessments to complete your full physiological profile.
