The mask. The metabolic cart. The treadmill.
Yeah, it looks impressive.
But the equipment isn’t what you’re paying for when you walk through the door at AthleteID.
You’re paying for someone who spent years studying exercise physiology. Who holds a double masters. Who knows what the numbers actually mean and, more importantly, what to do with them.
VO2 max testing. RMR testing. Lactate threshold. Running analysis.
We’ve been doing this since 2019. Not because it’s trending. Because it works, and because we built it to be done properly.
There are more of these setups popping up now, and that’s fine.
But there’s a difference between a machine in a room and a qualified physiologist who can translate your data into something that actually moves the needle for you.
If you want the test AND the expertise, this is the place.

Some people train to move. Others train to improve.
If you’re in the second camp, AthleteID was built for you.
Our VO2 max and lactate threshold testing gives you a complete picture of your aerobic fitness and your training zones, so every session you do has a purpose behind it.
We work with runners, endurance athletes, GAA players, and everyday gym goers who want more than a generic plan.
Killarney based. Spots available now.

We got some VO2 testing done today as part of the Grand Opening of .ie and .ie showcasing our state of the art physiology lab.
If you’re ready to take your training to the next level send us a DM. 💪

From the outside progress looks like luck or genetics but from the inside it is reps, choices and data driven training. If you are willing to do the work, we will give you the numbers, so book your VO2 or athlete testing via the link in our bio.

When we test your thresholds we are reading the story of your last training block, what worked, what did not and what to do next. If you want your next chapter to be better, book VO2 and lactate testing at AthleteID via the link in our bio.

Accuracy matters. Because training off the wrong number is just guesswork.
VO₂ testing on its own is a brilliant tool. It tells us a lot about your engine: how much oxygen you can use, how efficiently you move through intensity, and where your key ventilatory/threshold markers likely sit.
But for some athletes, VO₂ alone can leave a few important questions unanswered.
That’s where lactate profiling comes in.
Lactate gives us another lens on the same performance story:
• How quickly are you accumulating fatigue?
• How well can you clear it and keep working?
• Where is the point that the wheels start to come off?
• Is your “threshold” actually what you think it is?
It’s not about more data for the sake of it.
It’s about better decisions with your training.
When it’s a really good idea to add lactate
1) Field sports athletes (GAA / soccer / rugby)
Repeated high-intensity efforts, short recoveries, unpredictable pacing. Lactate helps us map how you handle those spikes and recover between them, which is often the difference between “fit” and “fit for your sport.”
2) HYROX athletes
HYROX is basically controlled suffering: hard running broken up by muscular fatigue. Lactate lets us pinpoint whether you’re blowing up because your aerobic base is undercooked, your threshold is low, or you’re simply hitting intensity too early.
3) Shorter-distance runners (e.g. 5k–10k)
The margins are small. Lactate profiling is one of the cleanest ways to dial in pace zones and workouts so you’re not living in the “grey zone” and hoping it works.
The real win
You don’t leave with a fancy graph.
You leave with clear training zones, clear priorities, and a plan based on what your body is actually doing, not what a watch estimate says.
If you’re an athlete who wants precision (and not guesswork), VO₂ + lactate is the gold standard.
Book your test via the link in bio / message us “LACTATE” and we’ll point you to the right option.

The number is only the start. The interpretation is the service.
Anyone can run a test and hand you a headline number.
VO₂max. Threshold. “Fitness age.” Whatever it is.
But a number without context is just noise.
Because the real question isn’t “what did you score?”
It’s:
• What does this mean for your sport or goal?
• Where are you right now in the season or training phase?
• What’s the limiter; engine, economy, durability, threshold, recovery?
• What should we do next… and what should we stop doing?
If we’re not applying a proper scientific approach, we’re basically shooting a cannon from a canoe, lots of effort, plenty of drama, and no guarantee it’s aimed at the right target.
That’s why AthleteID testing isn’t just “here’s your data.”
It’s data + analysis + decision-making.
And then the most important part:
We retest.
A follow-up test at 12 weeks is where it gets real, because now we can confirm whether the changes we’ve made are working, and adjust with confidence.
Testing gives you direction.
Retesting gives you proof.
If you want a plan built on evidence (not guesswork), book in via the link in bio.
