A 40-marker blood panel covering full blood count, liver, kidney, iron, cholesterol and testosterone, aimed at people starting or tracking a fitness programme.
40 biomarkers as listed by London Medical Laboratory.
This test combines a full blood count with liver and kidney panels, iron studies (including ferritin), a cholesterol profile, an inflammation marker, vitamins D and B12, and testosterone. Together these give a wide first-pass check of the systems that fitness training can affect or be limited by, from anaemia and iron status through to liver and kidney load and hormone levels.
Against its comparison group of 15 sports and performance tests, 40 biomarkers is well above the median of 29, and only one peer test goes further. At £119 it also undercuts the group's £135 median price by around 12%, making it one of the deeper options at a below-average cost.
The scores reflect this trade-off closely. Clinical depth scores highly because of the marker count relative to peers, and value for money scores well given the discount to the group median. Collection convenience is only middling because the test requires a venous draw at a partner clinic or a paid home visit rather than an at-home kit, and trust signals reflect that the provider is CQC registered and includes a doctor-reviewed report as standard, though it has no Trustpilot rating on record.
This suits anyone wanting a broad blood-based check before starting a training programme, or to track how their body is responding to one, without paying for the largest panels in the range. If your budget is tighter and you only need the basics, Medichecks' Fitness Blood Test covers 15 markers for £83. If you want the widest possible panel and don't mind paying more, London Medical Laboratory's own Ultimate Athlete Performance test checks 67 markers.
This is a blood test. Samples are taken by venous draw at a partner clinic (£35) or by a phlebotomist visiting your home (£80); it is not offered as an at-home finger-prick kit. Results are typically ready within a day and are reviewed by a doctor before you receive them.
At £119, this panel checks 40 biomarkers, more than every peer in its comparison group except Medichecks' 42-marker Advanced Sports Hormone test, and it sits 12% below the group's median price. The main catch is that it needs a venous blood draw rather than a finger-prick kit.
