data-driven insights.
GOLD STANDARD TESTING.
Your assessment will be conducted with the same advanced equipment used by pro sports teams, elite military units, and top universities. Our clinically-validated tests are far more accurate than predicted data from wearable devices (from which we frequently observe wildly inaccurate results).
SPECIFIC TESTS INCLUDED
VO2 Max
A critical marker of longevity and performance. From longevity luminaries like Dr. Peter Attia to professional athletes and university researchers, there is consensus that VO2 Max is one of the most powerful metrics to understand for those seeking to perform optimally while living a long and healthy life.
The most comfortable VO2 Max test experience. Unlike other tests in NYC, our VO2 Max test uses the latest wireless technology, allowing for greater comfort and freedom of movement without annoying hoses and wires getting in the way. The worlds top triathletes train with this exact same system.
Identify your target heart rate training zones. Learn how to improve cardiorespiratory fitness with maximum efficiency (i.e. Zone 2 training for longer, more frequent cardio sessions at around ~70% of your max heart rate vs Zone 4 training when you push hard at 80-90%).
A key indicator of potential health risk. A 2018 study of 122,007 patients showed “cardiorespiratory fitness was inversely associated with all-cause mortality without an observed upper limit of benefit”. The difference between those who tested “elite” were 5x more likely to survive over a ten year span than those who tested “low”. Even just going from “low” to “above average” was 60%+ reduction in mortality.
Run, ride, or row — the choice is yours! We are the only facility in NYC that gives clients the option of performing their VO2 Max Test on a treadmill, bike (ours or yours), assault bike, or rowing machine. Test the way you train for optimal comfort and accuracy!
DEXA + 3D Body Composition Analysis
Comprehensive insight in minutes. Obtain precise measurements of body fat percentage, lean mass, bone density, visceral and subcutaneous fat, and other key anthropometric metrics — all in a single efficient session.
Beyond your average DEXA scan. Our unique protocol combines the “gold standard” accuracy of a DEXA scan (via our brand new Hologic DXA system) with the advanced reporting and added detail offered by a 3D Body Scan
Quantify what the scale can’t. Our 3D “digital tape measure” technology provides 21 segmental measurements of your entire body, revealing subtle changes in symmetry, proportion, and muscle distribution.
Gold-standard accuracy and consistency. Unlike bioimpedance systems (InBody, eVolt, SECA, etc.), DEXA and 3D imaging are unaffected by hydration status, recent meals, or time of day — ensuring truly comparable results over time.
Essential for individuals on hormone or GLP-1 therapy. These treatments can significantly alter body composition, sometimes masking muscle loss or bone density reduction. Regular DEXA monitoring ensures progress is tracked accurately so that interventions can be adjusted appropriately.
Track your progress with precision. Each scan generates a personalized 3D model stored securely in the cloud, allowing you to visualize changes in muscle tone, fat distribution, and posture through high-fidelity, interactive timelines.
resting metabolic rate (RMR)
Understand how your body uses energy. Measuring your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) provides a precise view of how many calories your body burns at rest — the foundation for optimizing nutrition, energy balance, and overall metabolic health.
Professional-grade accuracy, same advanced system as our VO2 Max test. Using the same wireless mask technology trusted by elite athletes, our RMR assessment delivers lab-level precision without the discomfort of traditional setups.
Far more accurate than wearables or online estimators. Consumer devices and calculators rely on algorithms that often misjudge caloric expenditure by hundreds of calories. Our clinical testing measures real oxygen consumption for true metabolic accuracy.
Personalized insights for smarter training and recovery. Your RMR report also includes detailed metrics such as resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and metabolic efficiency — allowing you and your care team to fine-tune training and recovery strategies.
A key data point for professionals and protocols. Your report is a powerful tool for dietitians, nutritionists, physicians, and other specialists to better plan and track the protocols they implement for you.
Essential for those using GLP-1 medications, fasting, or incorporating other dietary strategies. If you’re incorporating any sort of caloric restriction or taking medications that may suppress your appetite, understanding your RMR ensures that dietary interventions support — rather than compromise — long-term metabolic health.
Grip Strength
A simple yet powerful predictor of longevity and functional health. Research shows a strong correlation between grip strength and longevity, highlighting its importance as an indicator of upper body strength and muscle mass.
Increasingly important to train and maintain with age. A weak grip can make it challenging to perform exercises with optimal form and even to fulfill activities of daily living later in life like opening a jar or twisting off a tight cap. On the contrary, a strong grip can be a crucial factor in preventing injuries like falls by enabling quick stabilization.
The best testing equipment in NYC. NYCPL’s grip strength tests are conducted using a state-of-the-art digital dynamometer that provides immediate visual feedback throughout a standardized series of grip tests.
Robust reporting with benchmarks that put your results in context. Your follow-up report includes detailed metrics and visualizations about your gripping force, asymmetries between your right and left hands, and normative data to benchmark you, allowing you to understand your baseline and improve their grip strength through targeted training strategies.
3D Functional movement
Healthy biomechanics are a pillar of long-term performance and wellbeing. The ability to move with stability, flexibility, and proper patterns is critical to preventing injury and supporting proper training.
Powered by precise 3D motion capture. Using the same advanced technology trusted by professional sports teams and university labs, we conduct a detailed biomechanical analysis of key single- and multi-joint movements.
Detect deficiencies before they cause setbacks. Our technology can reveal imbalances in range of motion, limb asymmetry, and even small compensatory movements that may signal weakness, instability, or early dysfunction.
Clear, actionable reporting. Your results are presented in an intuitive format, highlighting priorities and providing specific guidance to optimize movement quality and reduce injury risk.
Relevant for every goal. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just someone looking to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible, 3D Movement Analysis can be a critical tool in your arsenal. By identifying and addressing foundational biomechanical issues that are impeding your progress today, you will accelerate your progress and prevent serious injury in the future.
Gait Analysis
Understanding how you move through the world is a critical part of our mission to prolong your peak performance. From both an athletic and longevity perspective, it’s vital to know about imbalances in your gait that could be compromising your performance, contributing to chronic pain and increasing your risk of serious injury in the future.
Quick and easy measurement with smart insoles. A short 15-minute test using groundbreaking “smart insole” technology will reveal critical insights about how you walk, run, and jump.
Unparalleled biomechanical insights. Advanced analytics of spatiotemporal gait parameters such as stride length, pace, variability, speed, and support provides a wealth of valuable data about your speed, balance, agility, power output, and movement patterns.
Results translated into actionable next steps. Our team of experienced exercise physiologists and injury rehabilitation experts will walk you through your results and suggest training adaptations and rehabilitative interventions to address any issues identified.
Proteus Power Age Test
Initially developed as a training tool for elite professional athletes, the Proteus is a first-of-its-kind device that provides “3D resistance” across all planes of movement. This allows the user to simulate real-life functional movements, the vast majority of which are multiplanar.
Precision sensors in the device allow detailed measurement of acceleration, power, and unilateral differentials, providing a treasure-trove of data about which parts of your body are underdeveloped and potentially contributing to chronic pain, weakness, or impaired movement.
Power isn’t just about athletic performance, it’s about ensuring your body remains conditioned to perform activities of daily living as you age. Unfortunately, as we age, our ability to generate power is one of the first things to decline. The good news is that this decline can be significantly mitigated with proper training. Want to pick up your grandkids or put a suitcase in the overhead bin in your 80s or 90s? Those are exactly the sort of multiplanar dynamic movements that require power and stability.
One of the most interesting outputs of the Proteus is your Power Age score, which benchmarks the power you are able to generate after a short series of tests against others in various demographics. Even young and fit people can have a Power Age significantly older than their biological age, particularly if they’ve never trained with dynamic movement or are impaired by an injury that was never properly rehabilitated.
By measuring your power output across different body parts and movement planes early, critical deficiencies can be revealed and addressed with training, physical therapy, and other interventions to ensure you remain capable and confident as you age.
PersonalizeD Reports
After your Assessment is completed and you have reviewed and discussed your results with our team, a detailed follow-up report will be emailed to you with the raw data from your tests, benchmarks to know where you stand, and additional guidance on training and lifestyle adjustments.
“Unlike other places that focus too much on appearances, the team here focuses on what matters most: performance, data, and results.”
