Frequently Asked Questions

  • Once you’re booked in, you will receive a package with information on what to do and not to do in preparation for your test.

  • Fitness watches and smart watches are excellent trackers. That means that during exercise, they can give you very useful GPS data and real-time heart rate tracking data.

    However, training zones, maximum heart rate and other performance metrics are based exclusively on an algorithm. This means that the output is not specific to you and your needs.

    Getting tested gives you a scientific insight into your unique characteristics which can then be used with your watch.

  • Depending on your sport and your needs, it is recommended that you complete your retest 8 weeks to 3 months from your first test.

    This gives you enough time to train and induce adaptations.

  • After your test, you will receive a report within 48h.

    You will then be provided the opportunity to arrange for an online meeting to discuss your results. I encourage you to have your coach join in on the conversation so they can understand how to use this data.

    If you are self-coached. I offer sport specific programming following a consultation.

  • YES!! Our aim is to render performance testing accessible to all sports.

    Whether you do Hyrox, CrossFit or cross country skiing we have a tailored test for you.

Client Reviews

  • My lactate threshold test with Andrea was completely seamless. I was made to feel so comfortable, despite it being my first time and was spoken to about my results directly after which was super helpful. Would definitely recommend! Will be redoing these tests every few months to track my progress

    Amelia Burton - Hyrox

  • It was such a smooth process working with Icarus performance lab and it was so convenient with them being able to come to my gym to do testing. The test protocols were very straightforward to follow and Andrea guided me through every step. I found the testing really valuable and he broke it down in a way that is very easy to understand. I'm looking forward to applying this data to my training and retesting in a few months to see if there's been any improvements

    Brittany Anderson - CrossFit

  • I recently completed a VO2 Max and lactate threshold test with Andrea. He explained the main differences between the tests and benefits from both of them. He not only takes the time to understand your background and why you would benefit from these test, he really explains the science behind everything. My results were given to me within 24 hours. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field, I couldn't recommend him enough.

    Dani Bertolone - Hyrox

  • I recently completed Lactate Threshold and VO,max testing at Icarus as part of my preparation for HYROX and a half marathon. Andrea was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the start. His pre-test email was thorough and provided detailed instructions that made it easy to prepare for the testing day. On the day itself, he carefully explained each step of the process before we began, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the protocols, his calming presence and patience made the experience very comfortable, and he was especially encouraging during the more challenging stages of the test. Everything ran smoothly, and I received my report within just a couple of days. Andrea also took the time to walk me through the results and offered helpful suggestions on how to improve my lactate threshold and structure my training for both races. If you're considering performance testing, I highly recommend booking with Andrea at Icarus.
