Why TELOMYX for testing in Knutsford

For Knutsford, clinical body-composition testing has traditionally meant a drive up the M56 into central Manchester and its traffic, or a private clinic in Wilmslow or Alderley Edge. Fixed clinics mean you travel to them. If you live in Mobberley, train near Tatton or work from a home office in Plumley, that is half a morning gone. TELOMYX brings the same clinical-grade equipment to The Farm Club on Park Lane, in the heart of the town.

  • Clinical-grade Hologic DEXA scanner, the same technology used in NHS bone-density and research clinics. Available at The Farm Club, Park Lane, Knutsford (WA16 0LG), on-site parking and no drive into Manchester for a city-centre appointment.
  • Metabolic cart VO2 Max, not consumer wearables. The gold standard for aerobic capacity. Tested at The Farm Club, no university lab waiting list.
  • Full medical report within 48 hours, not a one-page printout. Ready to share with your Cheshire GP, consultant or sports coach.
  • Founded by an NHS doctor. No supplements, no transformations, no upsells. Clinically led and serving the North West.

Why Knutsford clients book TELOMYX

These are just a handful of the most common reasons people in Knutsford book with us. For the full list, hit Goals in the top navigation bar to see every use case TELOMYX testing supports.

  • Racing the Tatton Park calendar. The RunThrough Tatton Park Half Marathon and 10K and the Tatton Park 5K and 10K series run their fast, undulating, road-closed laps right on Knutsford's doorstep, and Race for Life Cheshire fills the park each summer. A VO2 Max test gives you data-driven heart-rate zones so those Tatton laps translate into a genuine PB; an RMR test sets the fuelling baseline behind it.
  • Tracking parkrun progress. Knutsford runners who travel to Northwich parkrun (Carey Park), Wythenshawe parkrun or Lyme Park parkrun and want to know whether a 5K time reflects a real fitness gain or just a good Saturday. VO2 Max and RMR together answer that objectively.
  • Strength and body-composition tracking. Lifters and members training at The Farm Club and other Knutsford gyms who want to know whether a training block actually added lean tissue. DEXA is the only scan that separates muscle, water and fat in grams, by limb, so you know if a bulk or cut worked.
  • Health screening over 40. Affluent averages hide individual risk. Cheshire East carries an estimated 11-year male life-expectancy gap between its most and least deprived areas, with circulatory disease a leading cause (Cheshire East JSNA). Visceral fat, measured directly and accurately only by DEXA, is one of the primary modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. A DEXA scan gives you a VAT measurement in grams; paired with an RMR it builds a clinical-grade cardiovascular and metabolic baseline before symptoms appear, with no GP referral wait.
  • Endurance cycling and multisport. The quiet lanes of the Cheshire Plain around Mobberley, Mere and Chelford make this prime road-cycling and triathlon country. VO2 Max is the key metric for any cyclist or triathlete; pairing it with DEXA tells you exactly what weight and composition you are carrying on the bike.

What our Knutsford clients say

Recent reviews from clients tested at our Knutsford venue. Verified via Google Business Profile.

★★★★★

"Three years of training at The Farm Club and I assumed I was lean. The DEXA showed more visceral fat than I expected and gave me a proper baseline to work from. Hugely useful having it done in Knutsford rather than driving into Manchester for it."
· Mobberley · DEXA

★★★★★

"Booked the VO2 Max ahead of the Tatton Park Half. Found out my easy runs were way too hard and my zones were all wrong. Reset them off the data, took nearly six minutes off my half marathon. The science makes the difference."
· Plumley · VO2 Max

★★★★★

"The RMR came back nearly 250 calories below what my watch had been telling me, which explained why a careful diet wasn't shifting anything. Finally have a real resting number to build my nutrition around. Quick and easy at The Farm Club."

Knutsford FAQs

Do any of the tests require a referral or GP appointment?

Only DEXA requires a referral, as it involves a small amount of ionising radiation. You do not need a GP appointment first. TELOMYX has an in-house NHS doctor who issues your DEXA referral as part of the booking process at no extra cost. VO2 Max and RMR tests require no referral and can be booked directly. If you already have a referral from your GP or a specialist, upload it at checkout.

Where in Knutsford can I get tested?

The Farm Club (Mere View Farm, Park Lane, Knutsford, WA16 0LG) is our Knutsford venue, with on-site parking and minutes from the town centre and Tatton Park. Because TELOMYX is mobile, we can also bring our DEXA, VO2 Max and RMR equipment to your gym or workplace anywhere across Cheshire, including Mobberley, Plumley, Mere, Chelford and the wider area.

How much do tests cost in Knutsford?

DEXA scans are £120, VO2 Max tests are £150 and RMR tests are £110. The DEXA + RMR bundle is £210. Multi-test bundles offer the biggest savings; see our bundles page.

Can I get all three tests in one session?

Yes, and it's how most clients book. A full DEXA + VO2 Max + RMR session takes around 60 to 75 minutes and gives you a complete picture of body composition, cardiovascular fitness and metabolism in a single visit at The Farm Club, Park Lane.

Are your tests suitable for athletes training in Knutsford?

Absolutely. We work with runners preparing for the Tatton Park Half Marathon and 10K, cyclists riding the Cheshire lanes, triathletes, and strength and team-sport athletes across the Knutsford area. VO2 Max identifies your aerobic ceiling, RMR sets your fuelling baseline and DEXA tracks lean mass changes across a training block.

What is the difference between DEXA, VO2 Max and RMR?

DEXA measures what your body is made of (fat, muscle, bone). VO2 Max measures how fit you are (your aerobic ceiling). RMR measures how many calories you burn at rest (your metabolic baseline). They answer completely different questions, which is why most clients book all three together to get a full picture of body, fitness and metabolism. All three are available at The Farm Club, Park Lane, individually or in any combination in a single session.

Which test should I start with?

It depends on your goal. For body recomposition, weight loss or bone health, start with DEXA. For endurance training or sport performance, start with VO2 Max. For nutrition planning or calorie targets, start with RMR. If you're not sure, the DEXA + RMR bundle is the most popular starting point because it gives you both your body composition and your metabolism in one session. All options are bookable at The Farm Club, Park Lane, with on-site parking.

How often should I get re-tested?

Most clients book DEXA every 3 to 6 months to track body composition changes. VO2 Max is typically re-tested every 6 to 12 months or before a major event (the Tatton Park Half, a triathlon, season start). RMR is more stable and usually only needs repeating if you've had significant weight change or a big shift in training load.

Can you bring the scanner to my gym in Knutsford or across Cheshire?

Yes, that's our model. TELOMYX is a mobile clinical-grade service. If you run a gym, sports club, workplace wellness programme or training facility anywhere across Cheshire, including Knutsford, Mobberley, Plumley, Chelford or surrounding areas, we can run a full DEXA + VO2 + RMR session on-site. Get in touch for partnership pricing.

How do I get to The Farm Club in Knutsford?

The Farm Club is at Mere View Farm, Park Lane, Knutsford, WA16 0LG, a few minutes from the town centre and the entrance to Tatton Park. By car: on-site parking is available for all TELOMYX clients. By rail: Knutsford station is roughly a 10-minute drive, with Mobberley station closer still.

Will my results be explained to me on the day?

Yes, for every test. As part of every session, a member of the TELOMYX team will walk you through your results and give you targeted recommendations based on your own biology and goals, not a generic explanation but specific next steps for you. Your full medical PDF report follows by email within 48 hours, ready to share with your coach, GP or dietitian. This results walkthrough happens at your Knutsford appointment at The Farm Club before you leave.

Will my private health insurance cover the cost?

Most UK private health insurance policies don't routinely cover preventative DEXA, VO2 Max or RMR testing as they're considered wellness or performance rather than medical necessity. If your scan is for a clinical reason (for example, low bone density investigation), check with your insurer. We can provide a full medical report and referral letter to support any claim.
