BodyView Recenzje 

Appmt on time, Sean explained the process well. Scans were painless. Report was very prompt and Sean explained what the details meant (and explained again when I hadn’t understood). All very comfortable, easy and its given me lots to think about.

Fantastic all I can say is
Had a Dexa scan today with Lilly she was so helpful and explained everything to me about the results and I was asking questions and he answered everyone great service
If your top athlete have this scan 💪

I had a DEXA and body scan. I wanted these as I’m obese but have been working on muscle strengthening. I wanted to know my body composition. The process was very easy, in a lovely building. I was happy with the report and how Sean went through it with me. It was actually nice to talk the results over. I’d been a bit scared about getting the results as I know my weight is a problem but there was so much data I loved it and actually found it incredibly encouraging and motivating. I’m going to work on losing some weight and go back when I have.
It’s really made a difference to my understanding of my body. I have some health conditions (POTS and hEDS) and managing my body can be confusing and overwhelming but I feel more empowered now with this information.
Worth the cost.
Absolutely recommend.
If you’ve got long hair bring a bobble and clips to tie it up.

I was very disappointed with the VO2 max testing protocol and process which was included in the “Athlete”bundle.

The RMR, DEXA and body composition analysis was all pretty efficient and seemed pretty straightforward.

The first test was Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). I was surprised that the RMR assessment-(lying still with a mouthpiece to measure O2 and CO2 exchange) was more uncomfortable than it sounds when it was explained to me. The varied sensations of dry throat, tickly throat, wanting to cough as saliva dripped down the throat, with the mouthpiece in situ and a nose peg on was surprisingly unpleasant. Just be warned.
The real issue for me is that the VO2 max testing and reporting are suboptimal.

As context, I have had my VO2 max done 3 times in labs in recent years. Today was my 4th, 3 in last 2 years.

On the process I had indicated that I wanted a bike test, not treadmill. When I arrived, the bike was not set up to my height and reach. I had to remove the flat pedals on the gig, attach my own Look Keo pedals, remove them afterwards and reattach the factory flats.

My biggest problem - I feel a bit ripped off - was that I was not tested either to failure, or to my attainable max HR (which I have attained in training recently), to my recent One minute power or or as far as I know to a RER plateau. I have no idea why the test was stopped when it was as my RPE was 7-8/10. Not failure.

In fact, the protocol was stopped at Heart Rate of 165 bpm and at a power of 295 w (based on what? Age, my Trainer Road FTP of 247-252??) well below my documented one-minute power and my recently attained HRmax of 173-175.

Thus, I reckon my VO2 max was underestimated. It is increasing since prior test but I was not tested to the max whether on HR, Power or RPE.

As a result of the was underestimated VO2max the training zones suggested from the report are consequently very conservative and don’t look like what I have been doing in training (guided by Trainer Road).

This result really leaves me wondering and guessing what would have been the real values at HRmax. And the training zones values just look wrong, so they won’t inform my training…

But “the protocol was done” and my report was hastily explained and I was being rushed out of the room as “we were out of time”.

I chose the bicycle option as I train for cycling. I brought my own Look Keo pedals. Luckily, I brought a pedal tool as the guy doing the test did not have the tools, or know-how, to change the pedals. I spent maybe 10 minutes of the time making the change for him to put my pedals on and later took another 5 mins or so to take mine off and reinsta their pedals… and then I got a rushed report and foreshortened VO2max testing as a result!!

My report does give me my VT1 and VT2 but not the RER which would help understand whether this was actually a max test.

I think they Bodyview are fine on imaging - based on my N of 1 experience at BodyView they are not good on VO2 max testing.

If you are serious about VO2max as a performance tool and training guide, I would suggest you go to StMary University Lab in Twickenham or a physiologist at a lab like Richard Tucker at Human Performance Lab where they know how to do this cycling VO2 max properly.

Efficient, informative,clean and quick. Ryan explained everything with gusto and confidence. Gave me the information I needed.

This was my third time having a Bodyscan and as always it was fascinating! I was looked after by Liana at the Marylebone branch. She was really helpful and made me feel at ease immediately, talking through my results afterwards and giving me lots of advice about bone density, building muscle, etc. She had so much knowledge at her fingertips, I learnt a lot about what to do to improve my fitness going forward, but also it was great to see how much I have achieved with strength training and exercise. I feel so motivated and will be back again to check on progress!

Great information I would never have known easy enough quick scan and explained by Sean . Already recommended to others .

I was met by Saleh who was super friendly and great at explaining the whole process. He was very meticulous with the scans making sure everything was perfect before each test and yet was incredibly efficient with it all. We went through my results at the end quite thoroughly and he offered me advice and adjustments to my lifestyle to help improve the areas of concern. On top of that he was the best cheerleader I’ve ever had whilst trying to complete the VO2 max test. The body view clinic itself was very clean and professional with lots of refreshments available and the experience is exactly what you’d expect for the money you pay for it. Thank you Saleh for running me through this and I will definitely return in the future for another scan

Ash was very knowledgeable and answered the advanced questions we had around metabolic markers in the body and body composition nuances and targets. Given he is clearly an athlete himself he had a breadth of knowledge that doubled the effectiveness of the scan and the results. The results were specific, detailed, well documented and contained numerous data that will be used to compare against the follow up scan in 4 months time

Great experience from start to finish with BodyView. The online booking was easy and straightforward, I had a 20% discount code so decided to have both the bone density and body composition scans.
Jack at Farnham made me feel relaxed and listened to. He was professional and explained the procedure well. It was a smooth and quick process. All the results were talked through with me and Jack thoroughly explained what it all meant, printing me off the whole report to take away with me. He advised me on any changes that I wanted to implement, and was obviously someone with in-depth knowledge of the body and the biological systems. Great all round experience. If I were to recommend anything, it would be to have air-conditioning, as it was a warm day and the room was quite warm.
Thank you to Jack and all at BodyView

Visited the Southampton site and completed the VO2, Dexa, RMR and body scan test. Was super inpressed either the set up amd details of the results provided.

Most of all Cait was FANTASTIC. She made the whole experience really enjoyable, even the VO2 max test! When talking through the results she also offered tons of really good, really useful advice. I have booked in again for six months time, but this was 100% pressure free with zero hard sell.

From the moment I arrived, Cait made me feel completely at ease. She explained the procedure very well and asked me several times if everything was clear and if I had any questions. Cait could not have been any frendlier.

quick response, process and results were clearly explained by James.
results were quickly emailed

The scan was very informative and Ashley was excellent in explaining the results and efficient in carrying out the scan

Very simple and thorough test, and read through of the report with professional. Would highly recommend.

Great and comprehensive report and explained well

My husband and I had a joint appointment for a body & bone scan at the Bristol branch with Lilly. The scan itself was really quick and comfortable. Lilly then took us through our results - helping us make sense of then and discussing lifestyle options to consider. Overall we both thought the experience was fantastic and would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to get insights into their physical health. Thank you Lilly!

Great way to monitor your progress. I have had two scans 8 months apart and it was so encouraging to see how I had improved by doing what Jack suggested after analysing my results.

2nd time here for a follow up and will continue to use into the future. Clean quiet facility. Ashley was very friendly and informative and made the whole process simple. Parking is 1 min walk away. Highly recommend

I had a body scan today with Jack. It was a really insightful and good experience. Jack explained the process and then interpreted the results, explaining everything really well. Definitely recommend.
