If you have any risk factors

We will assess your risk factors before proceeding with a booking, as it may unfortunately not be possible to undertake a test and/or it may be required that you speak with your GP before making a booking to ensure you’re safe to undertake a submaximal and maximal exercise test.

If you have no risk factors

We will continue with your booking and you can speak with your GP if you feel it is necessary.

Upon booking

You will be required to complete a medical health screening questionnaire and send to our staff prior to your visit. If your current fitness and health status has changed in the last six months leading up to your visit, we strongly advise that you consult your GP before booking and undertaking a test.
