How much does it cost to undergo performance testing?
The whole works - VO2 max, graphs of HR vs. speed and lactate vs. speed, % body fat, etc.
No real reason other than I think it would be fun. $200, $300?

If you live anywhere near a college or university with an exercise physiology program, you may be able to get the tests done for next to nothing. Students need subjects to practice their testing methods, and both students and professors need subjects for studies.
Vo2max testing with a pretty little print out (in which you can determine Ventilatory Threshold...which parallels Lactate Threshold) can be done pretty cheap at any University with an ExPhys Lab. You just need a metabolic cart and a treadmill. You can usually get your body fat checked in any gym with skin fold calipers. Underwater weighing may cost a little more. I'd say either nothing, if you know people in the lab, or under $100.
