Fitness & Metabolic Assessments
At Harpenden Medical, our Fitness testing programmes will evaluate your physical capabilities, measuring strength, endurance, and cardiovascular health. These assessments provide valuable insights into your overall fitness and help tailor programs to your individual needs, ensuring optimal performance and health outcomes.
Longevity and the years we spend in good health are linked to both our metabolic and physical fitness. Here at Harpenden Medical Clinic, we have a fully equipped studio, providing you with precise measures of your fitness status.
We can determine:
- Your biological age
- Your calorie burn at rest
- Your calorie burn when active
- Your cardiovascular, heart and lung fitness
- Your strength, power balance and symmetry
Together with our DXA body composition scanner, we can give you an accurate idea of your body condition now, as well as your risk of metabolic problems in the future.
Whether you are out of condition and looking for improvements in your weight and physical health or want to maintain your condition into the future and wish to do what you can to live a long and healthy life, there is nowhere like our studio that can help you understand where you are and where to focus your energy to maximise your longevity.

Testimonials
What our patients say...
I visited Harpenden Medical following a series of heart-related issues. I have seen various GPs and been prescribed different medications but didn’t see any improvement.
After speaking with Dr Jollyman, for the first time in years I feel I am finally being listened to and given the right advice. I feel better already after a few short weeks of treatment and I look forward to seeing more results.
Louise
A beautiful clinic, on truly stunning grounds.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Harpenden Medical Clinic and have booked further treatments on recommendation after a discovery call to explore my health concerns. I can’t wait to go back!
