Your Apple Watch never gave you a real cycling VO2max. GOVO2 does. GOVO2 is built for cyclists who train with power meter pedals and are done settling for a walk-derived number from Apple, or a passive estimate from a device that keeps their algorithm in a black box. GOVO2 runs a real cycling ramp test on iPhone and gives you a VO2max number that is based on research. GOVO2 also gives you the tools to train and improve: • Zone 2 for the aerobic base • Intervals to push the ceiling higher • Progress summary so that you can clearly see the trends WHAT YOU NEED • iPhone running iOS 17 or later • Apple Watch, or a Bluetooth heart rate monitor (Garmin HRM, Polar H10, Wahoo TICKR, and other standard BLE HRMs) • A Bluetooth cycling power meter or smart trainer WHAT GOVO2 DOES • Cycling VO2max ramp test with live power and heart rate • Zone 2 rides with target heart rate guidance • Interval workouts anchored to your test results • Per-ride history with second-by-second sensor data • Optional Apple Health write-back for VO2max • Transparent methodology. HONEST LIMITS GOVO2 is a fitness app. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose conditions, and does not clear anyone to exercise. If you have health concerns, talk to your doctor before starting or changing a training program. Stop and seek care for chest pain, unusual shortness of breath, dizziness, or symptoms that feel wrong. METHODOLOGY AND PRIVACY The full methodology lives at govo2.com/methodology.
