One of the coaches who does it is in Pitt Meadows so it's pretty close for you.

On the Island, Noa Deutsch at PT Performance Training does a great job.

Thanks jen, that would be great. I think I am getting the testing done around Christmas for a present but to get it done again down the road, that would be great. Got the CompuTrainer bike trainer and amping the running up so a test later on would be great. Thanks for looking into that for us!
