How does private blood testing work?
When you book your private blood test, you’ll attend a phlebotomy appointment at one of our lab locations in London or Manchester. Following the test, we will send your sample for processing. The results will then be analysed, and written comments added by a GP.
When this process is complete, you will receive your test report via email. This will include details of all biomarkers, whether they fall in-range, and comments from a GP. At this stage, you will also be invited to book your 1:1 consultation call with our nutritionist, Dr Rob Corney, to discuss your results and create an action plan.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed for our private blood testing services.
Can the results be shared with my GP?
We don’t typically share your results with your GP directly. However, after receiving your report, you are welcome to take your results to your GP, PT, coach, or anyone else involved in your health and training.

The Sports Performance Blood Test costs £299. This price includes our phlebotomy service, processing of your test results, written comments from a registered GP, and a 30-minute 1:1 consultation with a nutritionist. You can book your blood test here.
