Who we are

ATHLETES
WHO NEEDED
BETTER
ANSWERS

A rugby player from Miami and a footballer from Venezuela — two athletes with one shared obsession: getting better every day. VO2LAB Miami exists because we know firsthand what it costs to train without real data, and what changes when you finally have it.

Our story

BUILT FROM
21 YEARS ON
THE FIELD

Luis played rugby for 21 years. Two decades of training, competing, and pushing his body — always looking for an edge. Daniel's story started on a football pitch in Venezuela: years of competing and growing, learning what real discipline looks like long before he ever set foot in a gym.

"At 25, CrossFit changed everything for me. I understood that fitness is not just physical — it is character, resilience, and mindset." — Daniel

Both of us kept chasing improvement after our competitive days. Luis trains every day to feel better physically and compete at the amateur level when he can. Daniel became a coach and helped others become their best version — because that is what drives him.

We built VO2LAB Miami because we wanted the tool we never had: real data, not guesses. This is not just testing. It is transformation.

Luis Hernandez
Co-Founder — Athlete & Testing Specialist
21 years of competitive rugby shaped Luis's obsession with performance. After a career of training without precise metabolic data, we set out to build the resource he always needed. Today he runs VO2 max and RMR tests, interprets results with athletes, and designs training plans grounded in real physiology — while continuing to train and compete at the amateur level himself.

Co-Founder — Strength & Conditioning Coach
Daniel's story didn't start in a gym — it started on a football pitch in Venezuela. Years of competing taught him discipline and hunger before he ever learned the science. At 25, CrossFit changed everything: he discovered that fitness is character, resilience, and mindset. Today he is a coach who has competed, evolved, and helped others become their best version. For Daniel, this is not just training — it is transformation.

Our mission

EVERY ATHLETE
DESERVES
REAL DATA

For too long, lab-quality metabolic testing was reserved for professional athletes with access to university sports science departments or expensive clinical facilities.

VO2LAB Miami changes that. We bring the same VO2 Master technology used in elite sports programs directly to gyms, tracks, and training facilities across Miami — making precision metabolic testing accessible to any serious athlete.

Our goal is simple: give you the data you need to stop guessing and start training with purpose.

01
Precision over estimation
We measure what your body actually does — not what an algorithm predicts. Every data point comes from direct physiological measurement.
02
Athletes serving athletes
We have been in your shoes. We understand the frustration of training hard without knowing if it is working. That empathy shapes everything we do.
03
Data that drives action
A number without context is useless. Every test includes a debrief and a path forward — so your results translate into better training immediately.
04
Lab quality, field flexibility
We come to your gym, your track, your space. No commute to a clinical facility. No disruption to your routine. Just results.
