VO₂ Max & RMR Testing at Salus
Train with Purpose. Fuel with Confidence. Know Your Body.
At Salus, everything we do starts with people.
Your goals. Your challenges. Your story.
Over the years, we have had countless conversations with members who are working hard but still feel like they are guessing. Guessing their calories. Guessing their pace. Guessing what their body actually needs.
That is why we are really excited to introduce something new to our community.
We have partnered with Dr. Marc DeVito at DeVito Internal Medicine to bring VO₂ Max and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing to our Salus members. This physician-led test is a natural next step in how we coach, giving you real data so we can guide you with clarity and confidence.
Why VO₂ Max and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Because Effort Should Match Results
You show up. You train hard. You care about your health.
But without the right data, it is easy to miss the mark.
This collaboration with Dr. DeVito (known at Salus as Coach Marc) allows us to bridge that gap. The testing at his facility gives us a deeper understanding of how your body actually works so we can better support your performance, recovery, and long term health.

What Is VO₂ Max Testing?
See Your True Conditioning Capacity
VO₂ Max testing shows how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. It is one of the strongest indicators of endurance and cardiovascular health. This analysis is physician-led.
For you, this means:
- Clear and accurate conditioning zones
- Smarter programming on conditioning days
- Better pacing and performance
- Confidence in how hard you should be working
No more guessing. Just clear direction.
What Is RMR Testing?
Know Exactly How to Fuel Your Body
RMR testing tells you how many calories your body burns at rest.
This is one of the most powerful tools for anyone working on body composition, performance, or recovery.
It helps us understand:
- Your true caloric needs
- How to fuel properly for your goals
- Why progress may have stalled
- How your metabolism responds to stress, dieting, or training
This can be especially helpful after weight changes, long dieting phases, or for those on GLP1 medications.

This Is Where Coaching Gets Personal
When we combine VO₂ Max and RMR testing data, we get a complete picture of your body.
We can see:
- Your aerobic capacity and threshold
- How your body uses fuel
- Your true metabolic rate
- How to adjust training and nutrition for you
This is how we move from general coaching to truly personalized coaching.
We Help You Apply It
Testing is just the starting point.
With results interpretated by a medical physician (Dr. Marc!), we'll then help you turn that data into action at Salus through:
