SCARBOROUGH, ME, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Upwave Labs, a leader in longevity and performance testing, is partnering with Foley’s Fitness Center to introduce VO2 Max and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing. This collaboration brings cutting-edge fitness diagnostics to Southern Maine and marks the first of many collaborations the company is establishing across New England, making elite-level fitness diagnostics more accessible to athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and health-conscious individuals.

"I'm beyond excited to launch cutting-edge metabolic testing at Foley's Fitness in Scarborough," said Mr. Neil Spillane, Founder of Upwave Labs. "This is the first time Vo2 Max testing has been offered to Mainers outside of a doctor's office, creating exceptional value for health enthusiasts in the Southern Maine area. Mike, Joe, Dana, and the whole Foley's team grasped the importance of this testing and were a dream to work with to get this offering off the ground," added Mr. Spillane.

Understanding VO2 Max Testing
VO2 Max testing, powered by the VO2 Master analyzer, is the gold standard for measuring cardiovascular fitness and endurance. This advanced test evaluates the body’s maximum oxygen consumption during exercise, providing valuable insights for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to improve stamina, optimize training intensity, and track performance progress over time. Unlike traditional testing methods in a lab, the VO2 Master analyzer is completely portable and wireless, allowing for unrestricted movement during testing. This means athletes can perform the test in real-world training environments, yielding more accurate and applicable results.

Understanding one’s VO2 Max is not just beneficial for athletes—it is also a key indicator of overall health. Studies have shown that higher VO2 Max levels correlate with increased longevity and a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. By offering this test, Foley’s Fitness Center is making elite-level cardiovascular assessments accessible to a broader audience, helping members and non-members alike take proactive steps toward optimizing their health and fitness.
