Why TELOMYX for testing in Stockport

Stockport sits within reach of Manchester's fixed-location DEXA clinics, but fixed means a drive up the A6 or round the M60 into town, then city-centre parking, for a scan that takes seven minutes. If you live in Bramhall, train in Cheadle Hulme or work in Hazel Grove, that round trip is half a day you don't need to lose. TELOMYX brings the same clinical-grade equipment to B-Fit Gym in Hazel Grove, with free parking right outside.

  • Clinical-grade Hologic DEXA scanner, the same technology used in NHS bone-density and research clinics. Available at B-Fit Gym, Hazel Grove (SK7 5DA) — free on-site parking and no trip into Manchester for a seven-minute scan.
  • Metabolic cart VO2 Max, not consumer wearables. The gold standard for aerobic capacity. Tested at B-Fit Gym, Hazel Grove — no university sports-lab waiting list.
  • Full medical report within 48 hours, not a one-page printout. Ready to share with your Stockport GP, consultant or coach.
  • Founded by an NHS doctor. No supplements, no transformations, no upsells. Clinically led and serving Stockport and the wider North West.

Why Stockport clients book TELOMYX

These are just a handful of the most common reasons people in Stockport 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 Stockport 10K or a local half marathon. The Stockport 10K and the Hatters Half both set off from Edgeley Park, and the Stockport Trail Half runs the Middlewood Way out of Marple. A VO2 Max test gives you data-driven heart-rate zones so your training blocks translate into race-day pace, and an RMR test sets your fuelling baseline so nutrition supports the mileage rather than working against it.
  • Tracking parkrun progress. Regulars at Bramhall parkrun (Bramhall Park), Woodbank parkrun (Woodbank Memorial Park), Cheadle Hulme parkrun (Bruntwood Park) or Marple parkrun (Brabyns Park) who want to know whether a 5K PB reflects a real fitness gain or just a good morning. VO2 Max and RMR together answer that question objectively.
  • Strength and body-composition tracking. Lifters and gym members across Stockport 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 really worked.
  • Health screening over 40. Stockport has the highest cardiovascular disease prevalence of any Greater Manchester borough at 9.5%, compared with 5.3% in Manchester, largely linked to its older population (Frontier Economics for Health Innovation Manchester, 2025). Visceral fat, measured directly and accurately 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.
  • Hill and trail running on the edge of the Peak District. Stockport runners have Lyme Park, the Middlewood Way and the start of the Peak District on their doorstep, and Stockport Harriers is one of the region's strongest clubs. VO2 Max is the key metric for any endurance athlete; pairing it with DEXA tells you exactly what body weight and composition you're carrying up the climbs.

What our Stockport clients say

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

★★★★★

"Eighteen months of lifting and I genuinely didn't know if I was building muscle or just getting heavier. The DEXA put real numbers on it: lean mass up, but visceral fat had crept up too. Completely reset how I trained the next block, and far better than guessing on the bathroom scales."
· Bramhall · DEXA

★★★★★

"Booked a VO2 Max ahead of the Stockport 10K and found out I'd been hammering my easy runs far too hard. Rebuilt the plan around my actual zones and ran a big PB starting from Edgeley Park. The data was worth every penny."
· Cheadle Hulme · VO2 Max

★★★★★

"I work from home in Heaton Moor and couldn't shift weight despite eating in what an app called a deficit. My RMR came back well below the estimate, which explained months of frustration. Finally planning from a real number instead of a formula."

Stockport 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 Stockport can I get tested?

B-Fit Gym in Hazel Grove (Unit 42c, Newby Road Industrial Estate, SK7 5DA) is our current Stockport venue, with free on-site parking and easy access from Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Marple and Heaton Moor. Because TELOMYX is mobile, we can also bring our DEXA, VO2 Max and RMR equipment to your gym or workplace anywhere across Stockport and the wider borough.

How much do tests cost in Stockport?

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 B-Fit Gym, Hazel Grove.

Are your tests suitable for athletes training in Stockport?

Absolutely. We work with runners preparing for the Stockport 10K and the Hatters Half, trail and fell runners heading out to Lyme Park and the Peak District, cyclists, triathletes and gym athletes across the borough. 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 B-Fit Gym, Hazel Grove, 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 B-Fit Gym, Hazel Grove, with free 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 (Stockport 10K, Hatters Half, a Peak District trail race, 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 Stockport or the wider borough?

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 Stockport, including Hazel Grove, Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Marple or the surrounding areas, we can run a full DEXA + VO2 + RMR session on-site. Get in touch for partnership pricing.

How do I get to B-Fit Gym in Hazel Grove?

B-Fit Gym is at Unit 42c, Newby Road Industrial Estate, Hazel Grove, Stockport, SK7 5DA. By train: roughly 12 minutes' walk from Hazel Grove station and around 14 minutes from Woodsmoor. By car: free on-site parking is available for all TELOMYX clients on the industrial estate, just off the A6.

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 Stockport appointment at B-Fit Gym 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.
