Technogym Checkup & Vicoach
If you know your starting point, you train more effectively. With the Technogym Checkup we measure body composition, strength, endurance, mobility, balance and mental status. The Cardioscan adds heart, stress and metabolic analyses. For athletes, we also offer performance tests with lactate measurement.
Based on this data, we tailor your training, nutrition and recovery. Regular repeat measurements make your progress visible – and that is motivating.
Our assessments
Three building blocks – from a baseline assessment to performance testing
- Body composition (body scan): muscle mass, body fat and body water
- Strength: upper and lower body strength and grip strength
- Endurance: estimate of your maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max)
- Mobility: range of motion of the main joints
- Balance: stability and postural control
- Mental status: reaction, attention and concentration
Why this matters for training: From the age of 30, inactive people lose around 3–8% of their muscle mass per decade – the body scan shows this before you notice it. Strength, endurance and balance are among the strongest factors for healthy ageing. If you know your weak points, you train with purpose rather than by feel – and see your progress at every repeat measurement.
- ECG-based heart and stress check: three-dimensional heart image, cardio stress index and fitness level
- ECG-based endurance capacity: assessment of your cardiovascular fitness
- Metabolic scan based on spiroergometry: respiratory gas analysis shows your fat and carbohydrate burning and your optimal heart-rate zones
- Body composition: muscle mass, body fat and body water
Why this matters for training: Low heart rate variability – i.e. a reduced adaptability of the heart – is associated with a higher risk in large analyses. The stress index shows whether you need more load or more recovery. The metabolic scan replaces rules of thumb with your personal heart-rate zones so that endurance training and fat metabolism work effectively.
Can be combined with the Technogym Checkup if needed and on request. The Cardioscan does not replace a medical examination – if anything unusual is found, we recommend seeing a doctor.
- Determination of the aerobic and anaerobic thresholds
- Individual training zones for heart rate, power or pace
- Basis for targeted season and competition planning
- Progress monitoring: repeat tests show how your training is working
- Can also be booked separately, independently of a Checkup
Why this matters for training: For almost 50 years, lactate thresholds have been a key measure in endurance testing and are closely linked to competition performance. Training zones estimated only from percentages of maximum heart rate are often inaccurate. With measured thresholds you train in the right zone – mostly easy, intense when it counts – and avoid over- or under-training.
