East Anglia's first fully portable physiological testing service
Understand how your body performs, responds and uses energy through laboratory-style physiological testing brought directly to you.
What we solve
HealthSpan Lab helps turn physiological testing into clearer decisions about health, energy and fitness.
VO₂ Max testing measures how effectively your body takes in, transports and uses oxygen during exercise. It gives objective insight into fitness, functional capacity, healthy ageing and how your body responds as intensity increases.
Relevant to long-term health, quality of life and exercise progress.Online calculators estimate energy needs from generic information such as age, height, weight and sex. Resting Metabolic Rate testing measures your resting energy expenditure directly.
Generic estimate vs individual measurement.Health Screening brings useful objective measures together so cardiovascular health markers, respiratory health, body composition and physical-health markers can be interpreted in context.
A clearer baseline before deciding what to do next.Not sure which assessment is right for you?

Whether you want to understand your health, become more active, track your fitness or improve performance, HSL meets you at your starting point and makes the results relevant to your goals.
Build a clearer picture of the fitness and health markers that matter over time.
Establish an objective baseline before building or rebuilding activity.
See how your body responds to exercise and track meaningful change.
Use physiological data to add context to training, pacing and progress.
The person behind the data
Ben's background spans clinical exercise physiology, cardiac rehabilitation, clinical populations and professional football, including previous Head of Sport Science experience. HealthSpan Lab brings these environments together: objective physiological assessment with practical interpretation of what the numbers mean for the individual in front of them.
The HSL approach
HSL takes the discipline of physiological testing and makes it more accessible outside a traditional laboratory environment.
Objective physiological assessment using appropriate standardised protocols.
Results translated into a clear individual report.
Results explained in understandable language.
Practical next steps based on the findings and within HSL's appropriate scope.
Where appropriate, repeat testing can objectively assess change over time.
Choose your assessment
Each assessment has a focused role. Learn more if you want detail, or book when you know what fits.
For people suitable for maximal exercise testing who want a comprehensive view of cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise response.
For people where maximal assessment is unnecessary or inappropriate, while still providing useful physiological insight below maximal effort.
A resting assessment that measures energy expenditure directly and translates metabolism into useful daily context.
A wider physiological and health-marker screening appointment designed to establish a clearer baseline.
