About this test

This test brings together 56 markers spanning adrenal and reproductive hormones, cholesterol status, clotting, blood sugar, iron status, kidney and liver health, thyroid function, vitamins and a full blood count. It is designed to give a wide view of how training, diet and recovery are affecting the body, rather than focusing on one system.

Within its eight-test comparison group, this is both the broadest and the most expensive option: 56 markers against a group median of 29, and £199 against a group median of £135. Medichecks' own Advanced Fitness Blood Test covers 29 markers for £108, and its Sports Hormone Blood Test covers 36 for £109, both notably cheaper with fewer markers. London Medical Laboratory's Sports Fitness Profile, at £119 for 40 markers, is the closest rival on depth, still well short of this test's coverage.

The scores reflect this trade-off: clinical depth scores very highly given the sheer number of markers, but value for money scores poorly because of the price premium over the group. It loses marks on collection convenience since it needs a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit rather than a finger-prick. It scores well on trust signals, reflecting Medichecks' Trustpilot record and its UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and on results and follow-up because a doctor reviews the results.

Who is it for?

This suits people who want the broadest possible single blood test to track training, diet and recovery, and who are prepared to pay a premium for markers that a narrower panel would not cover, such as the full blood count and kidney and liver markers alongside hormones.

If 56 markers is more than you need, Medichecks' own Advanced Fitness Blood Test covers 29 markers for £108, or its Sports Hormone Blood Test covers 36 for £109, both cheaper with less coverage. London Medical Laboratory's Sports Fitness Profile offers 40 markers for £119, the closest rival on depth but still narrower than this test.

How it works

This test requires a venous blood draw, either at a Medichecks clinic or via a home nurse visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option. The lab tests the sample across the full 56-marker panel, spanning hormones, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, iron status, thyroid function, vitamins and a full blood count, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive them. Medichecks states a turnaround of around 3 days.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 56 markers in one test, more than any other test in its eight-test comparison group.
  • Combines hormones, cholesterol, liver and kidney health, iron, thyroid and a full blood count in one panel.
  • Doctor review is included as standard, with results in around 3 days.
  • A home nurse visit is offered as an alternative to a clinic appointment.

Cons

  • At £199, it is the most expensive test in its comparison group, well above the £135 median.
  • Medichecks' own Advanced Fitness (29 markers, £108) and Sports Hormone (36 markers, £109) tests cost less.
  • Requires a venous blood draw; there is no at-home finger-prick option.
