DexaFit Naples Launches Runner’s VO2 Max Protocol!

Attention Florida runners: DexaFit Naples is excited to introduce our custom Runner’s VO2 Max Protocol—a treadmill-based test specifically tailored for endurance athletes training in hot, flat environments. Unlike the traditional Bruce Protocol, which uses steep incline changes that don’t reflect our typical running conditions, our new protocol starts with a steady 5-minute base pace, then gradually increases the incline by 2% every 3 minutes. This more closely mimics the demands of distance running in Florida, providing a more accurate picture of your aerobic efficiency and endurance capacity.

If you previously completed your VO2 max test using the Bruce Protocol, now is the perfect time to come back and retest. The Runner’s Protocol delivers more relevant, real-world data for flat-surface runners—helping you fine-tune training zones, avoid overtraining, and track real progress. Whether you're chasing a PR or just starting your training cycle, this updated assessment can give you the precision edge your performance needs. Let’s get you running smarter.

Test Specs:

• Customized to YOU/your running pace
• 45 min to 1 hour depending on performance
• Comprehensive results review and access to DexaFit AI app
• $349 (price valid through end of September)

Whether you've done a VO2 max with us in the past, or you're ready to test your fitness level today, summer pricing won't last. Bookings open 8/13.
