About
Harry Pino, PhD, EPC manages Exercise Physiology at PLC's New York clinic. He holds a PhD in clinical exercise physiology, is board-certified by ASEP and certified by ACSM, and founded VO2max Medical, LLC. His career includes senior clinical exercise physiology roles at NYU Langone and Tufts Medical Center, adjunct assistant clinical professorship at Tufts University School of Medicine, and sports-performance consulting for Puerto Rican and Japanese Olympic teams. He has also appeared across national health media and physician-education channels.
What to Know
Signature approach
Pino turns cardiopulmonary stress testing into a training prescription. VO2max, ventilatory thresholds, recovery patterns, and patient goals become practical zones for endurance, weight loss, performance, or chronic-disease management. He is especially useful when exercise needs to be dosed from measured physiology rather than estimated from age, fitness level, or wearable data alone.
What sets them apart
- VO2max authority. Founder of VO2max Medical and long-time clinical exercise physiologist in academic medical settings.
- Olympic and sports-performance work. Consulting for Puerto Rican and Japanese Olympic teams adds high-performance context.
- Teaching reach. Tufts faculty role, Sirius XM Doctor Radio, and national media appearances show unusual translation ability for an exercise physiologist.
Before You Book
- Care focus. VO2max testing, cardiopulmonary stress workups, sports performance, and measured exercise prescription.
- Location. He is based at the New York clinic.
- Network context. Other PLC locations have their own exercise physiologists, so confirm whether New York-level exercise physiology is worth the trip.
