Why TELOMYX for testing in Oldham

Oldham sits at the edge of Greater Manchester, and the nearest fixed DEXA clinic is a 30-minute drive into Manchester city centre or Salford. Fixed means you have to go to them. If you live in Chadderton, train in Royton or work in Shaw, an extra hour of travel for a 7-minute scan is a genuine barrier. TELOMYX brings the same clinical-grade equipment directly to M60 Pilates in Chadderton, so anyone across the Oldham borough can access medical-grade testing without leaving it.

  • Clinical-grade Hologic DEXA scanner, the same technology used in NHS bone-density and research clinics. Available at M60 Pilates, Chadderton (OL9 0JY). The nearest fixed DEXA clinic is a 30-minute drive into Manchester city centre.
  • Metabolic cart VO2 Max, not consumer wearables. The gold standard for aerobic capacity. Tested at M60 Pilates, with no university lab waiting list and no city-centre journey needed.
  • Full medical report within 48 hours, not a one-page printout. Ready to share with your Oldham GP, consultant or sports coach.
  • Founded by an NHS doctor. No supplements, no transformations, no upsells. Clinically led and serving the North West.

Why Oldham clients book TELOMYX

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

  • Training for the Oldham Halloween Half Marathon. One of the toughest half marathons in the country, starting in Oldham town centre before climbing through the Saddleworth villages and moorland, a course where guessing your effort level is a real risk. A VO2 Max test gives you data-driven heart-rate zones for the climbs so your pacing is built on numbers, not feel. An RMR test sets your fuelling baseline so nutrition actually supports the training load.
  • Tracking progress at Oldham parkrun. Regulars at Oldham parkrun in Alexandra Park (Kings Road, OL8 2BH) who want to know whether a personal best reflects genuine fitness gain or just a good morning. VO2 Max tells you where your ceiling actually sits and how to raise it through structured training.
  • Saddleworth triathlon, cycling and trail running. The Saddleworth Sprint Triathlon in Uppermill and the area's active cycling and running clubs attract serious endurance athletes across the Oldham borough. VO2 Max is the key metric for any triathlete; paired with a DEXA scan it tells you what body weight and composition you are carrying across all three disciplines.
  • Health screening over 40. The North West has the highest rate of premature cardiovascular deaths in England, at 97.2 per 100,000 population, well above the England average (OHID, 2022). Visceral fat, directly and accurately measured only by DEXA, is one of the primary modifiable risk factors. A DEXA scan gives you a VAT measurement in grams; combined with an RMR it gives you a clinical-grade cardiovascular and metabolic baseline before symptoms appear, with no GP referral wait.
  • Body composition and Pilates performance. Members of M60 Pilates and the wider Oldham fitness community who want honest data on whether their training is shifting body composition in the right direction. DEXA separates muscle, water and fat in grams, the only method that reliably distinguishes between them.

For all other goals (longevity, women's health, weight loss, sport-specific preparation and more), see Goals in the top navigation.

What our Oldham clients say

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

★★★★★

"Training at M60 Pilates for over a year and always wondered whether I was actually building lean mass or just toning. The DEXA scan broke everything down by region: my upper body had improved significantly but visceral fat had crept up without me realising. That data changed my approach completely."
· Chadderton · DEXA

★★★★★

"Booked the VO2 Max test eight weeks before the Oldham Halloween Half. That course is relentlessly hilly and I needed real heart-rate zones for the climbs, not an estimate from my watch. Trained to my measured thresholds and came in well under my target time. Worth every penny."
· Shaw · VO2 Max

★★★★★

"Four months of calorie tracking with no results. My RMR came back nearly 300 calories below every estimate I had been using. That explained the whole stall. Finally have an actual number to build from rather than an app average that clearly didn't apply to me."

Oldham FAQs

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

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 Oldham can I get tested?

We currently test at M60 Pilates in Chadderton (156 Broadway, OL9 0JY), with street parking available on and around Broadway. Because TELOMYX is mobile, we can also bring our DEXA, VO2 Max and RMR equipment to gyms or workplaces across the Oldham borough, including Royton, Shaw, Lees, Failsworth, Uppermill and the Saddleworth area.

How much do tests cost in Oldham?

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 in Oldham?

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 M60 Pilates, Chadderton.

Are your tests suitable for athletes training in Oldham?

Absolutely. We work with runners preparing for the Oldham Halloween Half Marathon, Saddleworth triathletes, cyclists, CrossFit athletes and fitness clients across the Oldham borough. VO2 Max identifies your aerobic ceiling, RMR sets your fuelling baseline and DEXA tracks lean mass changes across a training block. All three are available at M60 Pilates, Chadderton.

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

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 M60 Pilates, Chadderton, individually or in any combination in a single session.

Which test should I start with in Oldham?

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 at M60 Pilates, Chadderton.

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 (Oldham Halloween Half Marathon, Saddleworth Sprint 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 Oldham or Greater Manchester?

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 the Oldham borough, including Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Failsworth, Lees, Uppermill or the Saddleworth area, we can run a full DEXA + VO2 + RMR session on-site. Get in touch for partnership pricing.

How do I get to M60 Pilates in Chadderton?

M60 Pilates is at 156 Broadway, Chadderton, OL9 0JY. By public transport: bus services from Oldham town centre serve the Broadway area; the nearest Metrolink stop is Oldham King Street (approximately 2 miles). By car: street parking is available on and around Broadway; please allow extra time to find a space before your appointment.

Will my results be explained to me on the day in Oldham?

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 tailored to 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 Oldham appointment at M60 Pilates 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.
