Come along to have a friendly chat about healthier lifestyle choices. We offer checks for:

Weight
Maintaining a healthy weight will lower you risk of developing certain conditions and reduce pressure on joints and bones.
BMI & Body Fat Percentage
We also check weight and body fat levels as being overweight and high body fat has been linked to many health conditions such as heart attack, diabetes, cancer, stroke and various organ diseases.
Corporate Health Checks
We offer more advanced health checks for businesses. This can be a great resource for employers who want to support their staff with their health and wellbeing.
