About this test

This panel covers much the same ground as London Medical Laboratory's standard Ultimate Athlete Performance test: hormonal balance, thyroid function, vitamins and iron, liver and kidney health, a cardiovascular profile, HbA1c for blood sugar, muscle and recovery markers, and a full blood count. It adds PSA, a marker commonly used to assess prostate health, alongside HbA1c for glucose and additional electrolytes.

At 63 biomarkers it is one of the deepest tests in its comparison group, and its £219 price is the highest of any peer, 62% above the group's £135 median.

Clinical depth scores close to the maximum, while value for money is the lowest among London Medical Laboratory's sports tests, reflecting the premium price. Collection convenience is limited to a clinic venous draw or paid home visit, and trust signals reflect the provider's CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits men who want the broadest available panel plus a prostate marker, for example alongside monitoring of testosterone therapy or weight-loss medication. If you don't need PSA, the standard Ultimate Athlete Performance test costs £10 less for broadly similar coverage. If your budget is tighter, London Medical Laboratory's own Sports Fitness Profile checks 40 markers for £119.

How it works

This is a blood test taken by venous draw at a partner clinic (£35) or a phlebotomist home visit (£80); it is not available as an at-home finger-prick kit. Results are typically back within a day and are reviewed by a doctor.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • 63 biomarkers including a PSA marker not found in the standard Ultimate Athlete Performance test
  • Covers hormones, thyroid, cardiovascular, muscle and blood-count markers in one draw
  • Results reviewed by a doctor and typically back within a day

Cons

  • The most expensive test in its comparison group, 62% above the £135 median
  • No finger-prick option; needs a clinic visit or paid home visit
  • Only £10 more than the PSA-free version, so it is worth checking whether you need PSA specifically

Our editorial score

Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This £219 panel is the most expensive test in its comparison group, 62% above the £135 median, and it adds a PSA marker on top of 62 other biomarkers. It sits close in scope to London Medical Laboratory's own Ultimate Athlete Performance test, which costs £10 less but does not include PSA.

Score breakdown

  • Clarity and documentation 9.0/10
