VO2max TESTING (click here to find out more)
This gold standard test is the most comprehensive test to analyse your cardiovascular fitness.
Our testing gives you a definitive indication of where your aerobic capability lies. When embarking upon any fitness, weight- loss or improving general health, having a baseline with which to assess your progress is essential. The testing process takes 45-60 minutes and determines both your heart rate and power thresholds, your training zones, and assessment of your pedal trace.
RAMP TEST
Similar to the VO2 max test without the analysis of your respiratory rate.
The ramp test provides you with an accurate analysis of your actual relative VO2max. The process takes 45 minutes and determines your thresholds, training zones and pedalling efficiency.
WATT BIKE THEATRE SESSIONS
Structured, targeted sessions to improve all aspects of your cycling related fitness and biomechanics.
Information from initial testing will be used to construct personalised training sessions. Expect an improvement in:

What our clients say about us ...
'Physical activity and general fitness is a very important part of my personal well-being.
Over 10+ years Peter and the Team at Trench Health and Fitness have guided me through specific programs to improve my strength and endurance across multiple disciplines including cycling & swimming. From ongoing testing to identify performance thresholds, gym based strength and conditioning plus diet & weight management I have the support and guidance I need to continue to perform at my best.
Most recently we have been undertaking specific cycling training using the Wattbike facilities which including team sessions to improve threshold performance in preparation for the Tour of Margaret River.
Areas of improvements are quantifiable and this gives great reassurance and focus heading into our first team based cycling race event.'
