A 36-marker blood test covering cholesterol, hormones, iron, liver, kidney and thyroid markers alongside a full blood count. Aimed at people training regularly who want a wider check on recovery and performance-related markers than a basic fitness test offers.
36 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This panel checks 36 markers spanning cholesterol status, blood sugar control (HbA1c), sex hormones (oestradiol and testosterone), iron, liver and kidney function, thyroid hormones and a full blood count. Together these are the kinds of markers commonly used to look at recovery, energy and how the body is responding to training, alongside your own training log and any advice from a coach or GP.
Within the sports and performance comparison group we track, this test covers more ground than most: 36 markers against a group median of 29, and its £109 price sits about 19% below the £135 group median. It costs about the same as Medichecks' own Advanced Fitness Blood Test (£108) but includes more markers (36 versus 29), and it undercuts rival panels from Blue Horizon, London Medical Laboratory and Forth, though Medichecks' entry-level Fitness Blood Test at £83 covers far fewer markers (15) at a lower price.
The score reflects that combination: strong on clinical depth and value for money, and solid on trust signals and results follow-up since a doctor reviews the result. It scores lower on collection convenience, because it needs a clinic visit or a home nurse call-out rather than a simple finger-prick kit you do yourself.
This suits you if you're training regularly and want a wider check on hormones, cholesterol, iron and organ function than a basic fitness panel offers, without paying for Medichecks' most expensive Advanced Sports Hormone Blood Test (£159, 42 markers). If you mainly want to track one or two specific markers cheaply, Medichecks' own Fitness Blood Test (£83, 15 markers) covers less ground for less money, and Blue Horizon's Male Athlete Plus (£90.25, 24 markers) is a cheaper mid-depth alternative if you don't need the fuller marker list this test provides.
This is a blood test taken by venous draw at a Medichecks clinic or via a home nurse visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option for this panel. The lab processes the sample and a doctor reviews the results as part of the standard service, with a turnaround of around 3 days.
At £109, this 36-marker panel covers cholesterol, hormones, iron, liver, kidney and thyroid markers alongside a full blood count, more depth than the group median of 29 biomarkers and about 19% below the £135 median price for sports and performance tests we track. It sits above Medichecks' own entry-level Fitness Blood Test in coverage, though you'll still need a clinic visit or home nurse call-out rather than an at-home kit.
