CardioCoach® Features

Mixing chamber Technology

A mixing chamber is considered the “Gold Standard” for VO₂ Max measurements.In the past, this system has been complicated and expensive, making it only practical to train professional athletes and for use in research departments. KORR®’s advancements in technology make this equipment feasible for gym owners and trainers at any level of expertise to own.

Self Calibrating

Adjustments for barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity are key to an accurate VO₂ measurement. The CardioCoach® measures these parameters during each routine calibration cycle, then automatically compensates to standard (STPD) conditions.

Simple

The CardioCoach® has a simple user interface with wireless connections. No training or certification is necessary.

Routine replacement of the oxygen sensor is required but can be performed on site by your own staff.

Workout Zones

CardioCoach® uses Anaerobic Threshold and VO2 Max results to define workouts zones unique to each client. These results can be uploaded to the CardioCoach® app to guide your client through workouts for cardio-strengthening, endurance, weight loss or other goals custom designed by you.

Accurate

The CardioCoach® has been independently validated at the University of Southern California and Oregon State University. View those results here.

Profitable

CardioCoach® is an excellent source of revenue for your business.  Most professionals can easily add $40,000 to their bottom line performing just 5 tests per week.  You can see a sample ROI here.

See How It Works

Sample Report

The CardioCoach® prints out results in a manner that makes it easy for you to explain results to your customers. It clearly displays key data points, as well as heart rate zones, fitness level, and recovery data. You personalize the results even more by inserting your own logo and adding recommendations.

Sample Report

A unique feature of CardioCoach® is the presentation of substrate utilization: the ratio of fats versus carbohydrates burned throughout each heart rate level during testing. This is especially helpful for weight loss or refueling. This feature is only available on the CardioCoach®MAX and the CardioCoach®PRO.

RMR Sample Printout

Most models of CardioCoach® allow you to test Resting Metabolic Rate, or the number of calories an individual burns at rest. With it, you can easily teach your client about energy balance and their metabolic health.

Make It Personal

CardioCoach® VO2 Max App

CardioCoach® allows you to apply the results of VO2 Max and RMR tests to each client’s workouts through the CardioCoach® mobile app. By uploading results to their phone, clients are able to view those results during their workout in the context of workout zones, goals, and energy balance.

With the CardioCoach® mobile app, clients get…

Real-time Feedback

Your client will have real-time visuals of heart rate zones, minutes spent aerobic versus minutes anaerobic, and the actual number of calories burned during a workout and post-workout (EPOC). For MAX and PRO users, it shows what fuel source (fats versus carbs) are being used in real time.

With a touch of a button, your client can send you an email at the completion of a workout.

Clients can be guided through their workouts utilizing voice coaching to keep them in their customized zones.

KORR® provides professionally designed workouts for Weight-loss, Endurance, and Cardio-Strengthening. If you desire to create a custom workout, it’s as easy as a touch of a button.

Clients can run the CardioCoach® app data through Garmin fitness watches for ease and accessibility. Just have them download the Garmin Connect IQ app!

  • What type of excercise equipment is used?

    Any type of cardio equipment that allows you to perform a graded exercise test taking your client to a maximum heart rate. Most often a treadmill or stationary bike is used.

  • Do you have to manually calibrate the equipment?

    CardioCoach™, and all other KORR™ measurement devices, auto calibrate. It is important to note that KORR devices calibrate to temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, making them both simple to operate and highly accurate.

    The CardioCoach will need the oxygen sensor replaced every 20 to 24 months.Units purchased after August 2019 will be able to perform this service in their own facility by ordering the sensor from KORR directly.Older CardioCoach units are required to be sent to a KORR certified service center for replacement of the Oxygen sensor and re-calibration. Currently, service centers are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, Sydney Australia, and Athens Greece.

  • Is a computer required?

    A computer is required to run the CardioCoach software. KORR includes a laptop pre-loaded with CardioCoach software in the QuickStart kits .

  • Does it measure CO₂?

    The CardioCoach™ measures oxygen consumption only, providing measurements of Peak VO₂, aerobic threshold, anaerobic threshold, and VO₂ Max. For those desiring RER (information about fats versus carbs burned during exercise), a CO₂ measurement is available with the CardioCoach™ MAX unit.

  • Is the equipment durable?

    The unit comes in a steel casing, so it will not break or incur damage with normal use.

  • What are the full specs of CardioCoach?
