One lab in Santa Cruz. Athletes drive in from across the region.
Fit Evaluations is a single-location lab at 311 Soquel Ave in downtown Santa Cruz. Accurate VO₂ max measurement requires a calibrated Korr CardioCoach analyzer, a dedicated self-powered treadmill or Wahoo KICKR, and a controlled environment — so we test on-site for individual clients (group / corporate testing of 10+ travels). Most clients are within a 45-minute drive: $250 VO₂ max, $75 RMR, $300 paired (Performance Pack), same-day report.
Each city below has a dedicated page with drive directions, training-terrain context, and event-specific guidance.
Santa Cruz County
Our home county — most clients are 0–30 minutes away.
Highway 17 (over the hill)
Santa Cruz Mountains pass via Highway 17 — about 30 minutes off-peak.
Monterey Bay
Highway 1 south through Watsonville — about 45 minutes.
We still see clients from farther afield — usually as part of a longer trip or a dedicated testing day. The protocol is the same; budget 60–90 minutes door-to-door for the appointment plus your drive each way.
