A health Assessment includes a BMI; blood pressure; resting heart rate; muscle to fat ratio; lung function; healthy heart and cholesterol check and lifestyle review with a written report provided. 60 minutes, £45

BMI (Body Mass Index) is the measure of weight in relation to height and identifying risk associated with being overweight. 

High blood pressure has been linked to increased risk of heart disease and other illnesses. There are a number of causes of hypertension including family history and lifestyle factors.

Resting Heart Rate (RHR) is the number of times the heart contracts in 60 seconds and is measured in beats per minute (bpm). While genetically determined, RHR is affected by cardiorespiratory fitness along with other lifestyle factors which can be an important indicator of health and fitness.

Muscle to fat ratio determines body weight in relation to the amount of muscle, bone and fat tissues using bioimpedance analysis.

Lung Function (also called pulmonary function tests), evaluates how well your lungs work. The tests determine how much air your lungs can hold, how quickly you can move air in and out of your lungs and is a very useful fitness indicator.
