Has anyone every had a professional measurement taken? Recommendations?

I would recommned a lactate threshold test over VO2 and in NYC
I would recommend a lactate threshold test over a VO2 MAX test (its more trainable + you get more information from it that you can actually use) and in NYC an outfit called Nutrifit NYC does them - the guy who performs the tests (in his house) is a cycling coach and exercise specialist. I have no affiliation with him other than he performed one on me 2 weeks ago :) his website is here:

Tell him Niko sent you and he won't draw too much blood from you during the test :)
