What is the Health Check Point?
An Employee Health Check (The Health Check Point) is a medically validated body composition check designed to help the attendee get an an understanding of their overall health, using our state of the art Health Check Point equipment.
We use a set of clinically validated scales that, in just a few seconds, tell you your:
- Weight
- Body fat and muscle mass
- Visceral (internal) fat rating
- Body water score
- BMI
- Metabolic rate (how your body uses energy)
- Metabolic age (how you rate against your actual age)
Starting from £825 + VAT per day
What is an Employee Health Screening?
An employee health screening is a health assessment to help employers monitor and support the wellbeing of their workforce. This proactive approach uses a range of diagnostics to identify early signs of illness or underlying health conditions before they become more serious.
Employee health screenings help uncover potential health issues such as high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
After receiving the results of the corporate health screenings, preventative health measures can then be recommended, helping you maintain a healthy and supported workforce.

Health Check Options FAQs
What's the difference between Health Checks and Health Screenings?
Workplace Health Checks (our Health Check Point) is an engaging awareness day built around reaching a large proportion of your employees with quick and easy testing that covers:
- Blood pressure
- Weight
- Body fat and muscle mass
- Visceral (internal) fat rating
- Body water score
- BMI
- Metabolic rate (how your body uses energy)
- Metabolic age (how you rate against your actual age)
In a Health Screening session, we take a one-to-one approach and use finger-prick blood testing to assess employees:
- Cholesterol levels
- Blood glucose levels
- Plus blood pressure scores.
Additionally, in the 20-minute screening option, we also carry out all of the Health Check Point tests listed above.
What is your most comprehensive employee health check?
The 20-Minute Health Screening is our most in-depth health check, which combines our screening tests with our body composition testing. 20-minute Health Screening tests include:
- Blood pressure
- Cholesterol
- Blood glucose
- Weight
- Body fat & BMI
- Visceral Fat
- Muscle mass
- Body water score
- Metabolic rate
- Metabolic age
For organisations that want to go even further, we can also include Vitamin D Testing as part of our screening days, too.
Can we combine a Wellbeing Fair with Screenings or Checks?
Our Wellbeing Fairs are highly customisable, offering a range of different ways to incorporate employee health checks.
All of our Wellbeing Fairs are built around two initial zones:
- Health Check Zone
- Lifestyle Review Zone
Simply put, this is the Health Check Point broken up into two 15-minute zones. This approach essentially doubles the capacity, allowing us to see 144 attendees per day, rather than the usual 72.
Additionally, we can also run Health Screening alongside a Wellbeing Fair. This runs as a separate zone that your employees can book in for in the standard 10 or 20-minute formats. It’s a great way to help boost engagement and participation in the day.
Are all three services available on-site?
Yes! We carry out all of our employee health check services face-to-face in your workplace on a day of your choosing.
In other words, your employees don’t have to find a local clinic and book off time to go to it – just a quick break away from their desk!
