Find out what your body can really do.
Two appointments, built around a safety-first pathway. First: your Randox Sports Performance bloods, a 10-lead ECG, and — once a GP has checked your ECG — a submaximal VO2 Max test on the Wattbike. Then an unhurried 40-minute results consultation with Dr Greg Spencer (ex-Aston Villa Women's First Team physician, Sport & Exercise Medicine MSc) to talk through every result. Plus a 30-minute sports massage voucher redeemable any time. CQC-regulated. No referral required.
The metrics that predict who's actually getting better — not just who's training harder.
You can run more, lift more, ride further. But until you measure VO2 Max, your hormone status, your iron stores and your recovery markers, you don't actually know whether what you're doing is working. This package is the same blood + physiology assessment a Premier League team would run on a player — condensed into one morning, in Sutton Coldfield, for £369.
VO2 Max is the single strongest predictor of all-cause mortality known to medicine — stronger than smoking history, hypertension or diabetes. It's also one of the most useful numbers for setting aerobic training zones. Most "fit" people have never actually had it tested — they're training to numbers their watch has guessed, not to a proper Wattbike test.
A safety-first pathway. Four components. £341 less than buying them separately.
Your first appointment is the testing visit — Randox Sports Performance bloods and a 10-lead ECG, then a submaximal VO2 Max test on the Wattbike once a GP has checked your ECG. Once your bloods are back you come in for an unhurried 40-minute results consultation with Dr Greg Spencer. The sports massage voucher is yours to use whenever it suits you.
Cardiac safety disclaimer. The Wattbike VO2 Max test only goes ahead once a GP has checked your 10-lead ECG. If your history or ECG flags concern (uncontrolled hypertension, significant cardiac history, abnormal rhythm), the Wattbike portion is held back pending further investigation — typically a referral into our Adult Cardiac Screening pathway. You still receive your bloods, your ECG, your results consultation with Dr Spencer and the massage voucher. No surprise charges.
Dr Greg Spencer — primary care meets elite-sport medicine.
Greg trained at Birmingham Medical School, completed his GP training in the West Midlands, and went on to a Master's in Sport & Exercise Medicine at the University of Nottingham. He was primary physician for the Aston Villa Women's team during their promotion to the WSL, and spent nine years with Birmingham Royal Ballet developing their injury prevention strategy. He works with Elmhurst School of Dance on the same. His clinical interest is optimising health and athletic performance — equally across recreational athletes, masters competitors and elite dancers.
If you take your training seriously, this is the data you've been guessing about.
Your testing visit first, then your results consultation with Dr Spencer.
4.88/5 from 700+ verified Doctify reviews.
"I'd been training for a sub-3 marathon for two years and stalling. Greg looked at the bloods + VO2 numbers, flagged low ferritin and zone-2 work being done at zone-3 effort. Three months later I ran 2:54. Worth every penny."
"Came in convinced my VO2 was the problem. Turned out it was fine; testosterone was the limiter. Greg's MSc background meant he actually knew what to do about it — instead of just 'see a specialist'."
"Booked it as a 50th birthday present to myself. The VO2 Max number genuinely changed how I train. Dr Spencer was unhurried, explained everything, didn't try to upsell anything. Best £369 I've spent on my health."
Everything you might be wondering, answered.
What's included for £369?
Two appointments. Appointment one is your testing visit: the Randox Sports Performance blood panel drawn (iron/ferritin, testosterone and key hormones, thyroid, vitamin D, inflammation, lipids, glucose/HbA1c, FBC, kidney/liver), a 10-lead ECG, and — once a GP has checked your ECG — a submaximal VO2 Max test on the Wattbike. Appointment two is a 40-minute results consultation with Dr Greg Spencer to talk through your bloods, ECG and VO2 Max score. A 30-minute sports massage voucher is included, redeemable any time within 12 months. You receive all of your results and your Wattbike summary — the package does not include a written training or exercise plan.
Why is my ECG checked before the Wattbike?
At your first appointment we record a 10-lead ECG and a GP checks it before you go on the Wattbike. Only once the GP is happy with your ECG do we run the submaximal VO2 Max test. It's the safest way to run any structured exercise test — and the same principle elite sports teams follow.
What if I'm not cleared for the Wattbike test?
If your 10-lead ECG or cardiac history flags concern, the Wattbike element is held back pending further investigation — typically routed to our Adult Cardiac Screening pathway. You still receive your bloods, your ECG, your results consultation with Dr Spencer and the massage voucher. We adjust or refund the Wattbike portion. No surprise charges.
How does the sports massage voucher work?
On the day of your Sports Performance visit you receive a £65 voucher for a 30-minute sports massage with our therapist, redeemable at any time within 12 months. Book the massage directly with reception when it suits you — pre-event, post-event, or as a recovery treat. It's deliberately separated from the test day so it doesn't disrupt the safety-first pathway.
How is VO2 Max different from what my Garmin / Apple Watch estimates?
Wrist devices estimate VO2 Max from your everyday heart-rate data, which can drift. A controlled submaximal test on a calibrated Wattbike gives you a more reliable VO2 Max score and a clean set of training heart-rate and power zones from a known, measured effort — numbers you can actually train to. It's a submaximal test, so it estimates rather than directly measuring VO2 Max with a gas-exchange mask.
Do I need to be fit to do this?
No. It's a submaximal test — you won't be ridden to exhaustion, and it builds up in steady stages. Beginners get just as much value from the data as elite athletes. You do need to be free of significant cardiac disease — if you have a history of heart problems, chest pain on exertion, or uncontrolled blood pressure, we'll hold back the Wattbike portion after your ECG and route you to the Adult Cardiac Screening Package first.
How long does it take?
It's two appointments. Your first (testing) visit is around 30–40 minutes: bloods and a 10-lead ECG, then the submaximal VO2 Max test on the Wattbike once a GP has checked your ECG. Your second appointment is a 40-minute results consultation with Dr Spencer, arranged once your bloods are back. The sports massage is booked separately by you using the voucher.
What should I bring on the day?
Sportswear, cycling shoes if you use SPD pedals (we have flats otherwise), water, a towel. Eat a normal meal 2–3 hours before. Don't train heavily in the 24 hours before. Avoid caffeine 90 minutes before. Wear something with sleeves easy to roll up for the bloods and 10-lead ECG.
Can I bring a training partner?
Yes — book back-to-back slots and you both qualify for £369. Many people do this with a club partner or spouse who trains together. It also means you can compare data over a coffee afterwards.
Does it work for non-cyclists?
Absolutely. VO2 Max measured on a wattbike correlates strongly with VO2 Max on a treadmill (within 5–7% for most adults). The heart-rate zones derived translate directly to running, rowing, swimming, hiking — any aerobic sport. Dr Spencer will calibrate the zones to your primary sport in the consultation.
When is the offer available?
Until 31 August 2026. After 31 August it reverts to standard pricing (£710). Dr Spencer's sports clinic is limited capacity — book early.
Cardiac-safety first. Then the numbers that actually matter.
