Summary
October 1 marks PNOĒ’s launch of a redesigned breath-analysis mask that lets gym users complete a metabolic assessment, including VO₂ max, in eight minutes without a trained operator.
The new device aims to bring lab-grade testing onto gym floors as fitness clubs look for ways to stand out and offer higher-value health assessments.
PNOĒ’s earlier version required supervised use; the redesign removes that operational hurdle and simplifies a product the company said had looked overly cumbersome.
Traditional metabolic testing usually needs appointments, specialized facilities and can cost hundreds of dollars, giving the startup a lower-friction pitch to gyms and members.
