Locations, cost & test preparationManufacturer graphics illustrate broader assessment concepts, not the deliverables of every PNOĒ test or services offered by Victory. Breath testing does not diagnose disease, hormone imbalances or mitochondrial dysfunction, and does not measure blood, urine or electrolyte markers. Your purchased assessment determines the report you receive.
Which Test Is Right for You?
Answer two quick questions, then optionally choose results only or a personalized plan. Your coach confirms fit, readiness and testing arrangements before your assessment.
Choose one answer in each question to see your suggested option.

What the Test Reveals
Choose resting or active breath analysis for complementary wellness measurements. Available results depend on the assessment you purchase.
VO2 Max — measured, not estimated
VO₂max reflects aerobic fitness. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with lower all-cause mortality risk, but one test does not predict your lifespan or diagnose disease. Breath analysis measures oxygen use during exercise rather than estimating fitness from a wearable formula.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
RMR measures energy expenditure at rest using oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. It is not total daily energy expenditure: movement, exercise and digestion add to daily needs. A nutrition package combines this baseline with activity, goals and lifestyle.
Fat vs. Carb Burn
Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange can estimate fuel utilization under the test conditions. These estimates depend on preparation and intensity; they are not a fixed fuel preference or a diagnosis, and do not determine a macronutrient plan on their own.
How Fuel Use Changes With Effort
During an active test, breath measurements help estimate the relative use of fat and carbohydrate at different exercise intensities. The pattern is individual; a fuel-use curve is not a promise of weight loss or a diagnosis.
Why This Matters for Our Clients
PNOĒ testing and optional coaching packages are available on their own, and can complement an existing wellness program. Membership is not required.
If you're in Medical Weight Loss & Peptide Therapy
During clinician-led weight management, nutrition and resistance training matter. PNOĒ provides a resting-energy or fitness baseline for coaching discussions; it does not measure muscle loss or monitor medication effects in real time. Medication and clinical decisions remain with your licensed provider.
Explore Medical Weight Loss & Peptide TherapyIf you're in the H.E.A.L.T.H. or Metabolic Intelligence Program
VO₂max and RMR add fitness and resting-energy baselines on top of the glucose, nutrition, and lifestyle data your coach already tracks — a more complete metabolic picture instead of one slice of it.
How the Test Works
Book Your Test
Choose testing only or a personalized package at Hutto or West Lake Hills. Single-assessment package appointments are approximately 30 minutes; confirm combined-test timing when booking.
Breathe Through the Mask
A lightweight mask measures oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange while you rest for RMR or exercise progressively for VO₂max. Active-test intensity considers readiness, health history and functional ability.
Receive Your Standard Report
Your selected assessment provides resting-energy or aerobic-fitness measurements and a standard results report. No blood draw is required.
Review With Your Coach
Personalized packages add professional plan development, a written action plan and a scheduled coaching consultation. Testing-only services do not include these deliverables.
Retest to Track Progress
Agree on a reassessment strategy based on your goals, training changes and whether a new measurement will guide a useful decision.
From Numbers to Your Plan
Testing-only services provide a standard results report. If you choose a personalized package, your coach develops the corresponding written nutrition or exercise plan and reviews it with you at the included consultation.
Your report reflects your selected assessment. Sample scores and layouts are examples only; a dashboard or ongoing app access is not automatically included with testing.
Personalized Nutrition Targets · Nutrition Package
- Estimated daily energy needs informed by measured RMR, activity and goals

Self-pay, FSA/HSA, Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay/Clearpay & CareCredit
Wellness, lifestyle, and overall health appointments and services are self-pay. FSA/HSA cards may be used when a service is deemed medically necessary by your provider; we can provide an itemized receipt for reimbursement. Buy Now, Pay Later installments through Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay/Clearpay, plus CareCredit, are also accepted, subject to each provider's approval.
HSA/FSA eligibility and reimbursement depend on applicable rules, documentation and individual circumstances. Financing is subject to approval. Personalized-plan delivery timing is confirmed when scheduling; no 24-hour turnaround is promised.
Where clients test from around Austin
PNOĒ testing runs at both clinics, so most Central Texas clients are within a short drive. Our Hutto clinic on E. Wilco Highway is the closer option for Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown and Taylor; our West Lake Hills clinic on Bee Caves Road serves central and west Austin, Rollingwood, Bee Cave and Lakeway. Result reviews can be done in person or by secure video, so you only need to travel for the test itself.
Testing in the Austin heat is worth planning around: summer training paces drift slower at the same effort, so if you are setting zones for outdoor running or cycling, we note the conditions on your report and re-check after the season changes rather than letting a single number stand all year.
Questions
VO2 Max & RMR testing questions
What the test involves, how often to retest, and how it fits with your medical care.
- Where can I get a VO₂ max test near Austin?
- Victory Health & Wellness offers PNOĒ VO₂max testing by appointment at 3811 Bee Caves Road, Suite 101, West Lake Hills, TX 78746, and 201 E. Wilco Hwy, Suite 105, Hutto, TX 78634. Testing is in person; coaching package consultations can be in person or by secure video. No membership is required.
- How much does PNOĒ VO₂ max or RMR testing cost?
- VO₂max / AMR testing is $200, RMR testing is $150, and both tests together are $300. Testing-only services include the assessment and standard report, not a written personalized plan or dedicated coaching consultation. Optional nutrition and exercise coaching packages are priced separately. Membership is not required.
- What's actually involved in the test?
- You wear a comfortable, lightweight mask that analyzes the air you breathe out while you rest and then during a short, progressive effort on a bike or treadmill. There is no blood draw. Preparation differs by assessment; follow the instructions sent when booking, including any food, caffeine and exercise restrictions.
- How is this different from a gym VO2 Max estimate?
- Wearables and gym assessments estimate VO2 Max from heart rate and pace formulas. PNOĒ measures oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange directly from your breath, so your selected assessment provides measured resting energy expenditure or aerobic fitness. Both require the combined testing option; not every output is included in a single test.
- Do I need to be an athlete to do this?
- No. The effort test is progressive and stops at a level appropriate for you, so it works well for general fitness, weight-loss, and longevity-focused clients — not just competitive athletes.
- How often should I repeat PNOĒ testing?
- Retesting depends on your goals and whether the result would change your plan. Your coach can suggest timing after a meaningful training or lifestyle change; a fixed interval is not necessary for everyone.
- Is PNOĒ testing HSA/FSA eligible?
- PNOĒ testing is a self-pay wellness service. HSA/FSA eligibility depends on applicable rules, documentation and your circumstances; eligibility or reimbursement is not guaranteed. We can provide an itemized receipt, and you should confirm requirements with your plan administrator.
- Does this replace medical care?
- No. Testing and coaching are educational and are not medical care or a diagnosis. We coordinate with any medical weight-loss or clinical care you already have in place — see our scope of care for details.
- How do I prepare for the resting metabolic rate test?
- For the most accurate RMR reading, avoid food, caffeine, nicotine, and strenuous exercise for at least 4 hours beforehand. You may drink water. Try to relax for 10–15 minutes before the test so your breathing reflects a true resting state. We send a full prep checklist when you book.
- What do my PNOĒ results actually mean?
- An RMR report describes energy expenditure at rest; an AMR / VO₂max report describes aerobic fitness during exercise. Applicable fuel-use estimates reflect the test conditions. These are wellness baselines, not disease diagnoses, hormone measurements or a determination of biological age.
- How does the resting test complement the VO2 Max test?
- VO₂max describes aerobic fitness, while RMR measures resting energy expenditure—not total daily energy needs. Together they provide complementary baselines. Personalized nutrition and exercise plans are included only in the appropriate coaching packages.
- What is included in the RMR + Nutrition Package?
- $449 includes an RMR assessment at an approximately 30-minute appointment, review of results, nutrition strategy with estimated daily energy needs and calorie/macronutrient targets, meal and portion guidance, 60 minutes of plan development, a written nutrition plan and a 45-minute coaching consultation.
- What is included in the VO₂max + Exercise Package?
- $499 includes an approximately 30-minute VO₂max assessment appointment, review of fitness and applicable thresholds, intensity and heart-rate guidance, a written four-week exercise program, recovery recommendations, 60 minutes of program development and a 45-minute consultation.
- What is the difference between the $300 testing combo and the $849 comprehensive package?
- The $300 combo includes both assessments and standard reports. The $849 Complete Metabolic Optimization Package adds both written plans, a four-week exercise program, 120 minutes of combined plan development, one 60-minute consultation and a progress-monitoring strategy.
- How are nutrition and exercise plans personalized?
- Your coach considers assessment results, health history, goals, activity, functional ability, preferences and lifestyle. RMR informs a resting-energy baseline, with activity used to estimate daily needs. Exercise intensity considers readiness and applicable test thresholds. Guidance is wellness coaching, not medical nutrition therapy or treatment.
- Can my coaching consultation be completed virtually?
- Yes. Package consultations may be completed in person or by secure video. RMR and VO₂max assessments take place at Hutto or West Lake Hills; virtual consultation arrangements are confirmed when booking.
- How long does it take to receive my personalized plan?
- Your team confirms plan-delivery timing and consultation scheduling during booking. Personalized plans require professional review and development after the assessment; a 24-hour turnaround is not promised.
- Can PNOĒ testing complement my existing wellness program?
- Yes. Testing and optional packages can complement nutrition coaching, personal training, H.E.A.L.T.H. Programs, Metabolic Intelligence or clinician-led weight management. They are also available as standalone services; ongoing membership is not required and medical decisions stay with your licensed clinician.
