A blood test for people doing regular intensive exercise, covering hormones, nutrition markers, and red and white blood cell counts linked to recovery and performance.
This panel is built for people training intensively, whether recreationally or as an athlete, and covers hormones, nutrition status, stress-related markers, and red and white blood cell counts. The idea is to flag issues that might explain slow recovery, low energy or muscle problems, rather than measuring performance directly.
At £135 for 15 biomarkers, this test matches the median price of the eight sports and performance tests we track, but sits well below the median marker count of 29. Peers such as Medichecks' Advanced Fitness Blood Test (£108, 29 markers) and Sports Hormone Blood Test (£109, 36 markers) cover considerably more ground for a similar or lower price. London Medical Laboratory's Sports Fitness Profile (£119, 40 markers) is another deeper option below this price point. Forth's own Female Fitness & Athlete Blood Test is priced the same at £135 for the same 15 markers.
The score is held back mainly by clinical depth and value for money, since you are paying the group's median price for below-median marker coverage. It scores well on collection convenience, with a full choice of finger-prick kit, AutoDraw device, home nurse visit or venous draw, and results are reviewed by a doctor within 2 days.
This suits you if you want a fitness-focused panel from a provider you already trust and are not concerned with maximising marker count. If depth matters more, Medichecks' Advanced Fitness Blood Test (£108, 29 markers) or Sports Hormone Blood Test (£109, 36 markers) cover more for a similar or lower price. The exact biomarker list is not published in Forth's listing, so check the panel contents before buying.
You can collect your sample using an at-home finger-prick kit, Forth's AutoDraw device, a home nurse visit, or a venous draw at a partner clinic. The sample goes to Forth's lab for analysis of the 15 markers covering hormones, nutrition and blood counts, and a doctor reviews the results. Turnaround is 2 days from the lab receiving your sample.
At £135, this 15-marker fitness panel matches the £135 median across the eight sports and performance tests we compare, though most peers pack in more markers for the same price or less. It includes a doctor review and results in 2 days. If marker count matters more to you than price, several peers cover twice as many for less.
