A New Destination for Data-Driven Health
The new BodyView Bristol location has been designed to give clients access to accurate, professional testing typically found in elite performance environments.
Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, improving endurance, understanding your metabolism or monitoring bone health, the new site provides everything needed to measure progress properly.
Many people rely on scales, smartwatches or online calculators. While these can offer rough estimates, they rarely tell the full story. Weight alone cannot distinguish between fat and muscle. Fitness trackers estimate VO₂ Max but cannot measure oxygen consumption directly. Online calorie calculators assume everyone burns the same energy.
BodyView Bristol changes that.
By combining multiple advanced tests, clients receive a complete snapshot of their body composition, metabolism and fitness.
DEXA Body Composition Scans
DEXA body composition scanning is widely recognised as one of the most accurate ways to measure body fat, muscle mass and visceral fat.
Unlike traditional body fat methods, a DEXA scan provides detailed insight into what your body is made of. This includes fat distribution, lean mass, visceral fat and regional muscle balance.
This level of detail is especially valuable for those trying to lose fat while preserving muscle. The scale may not change even when body composition improves. A DEXA scan reveals those changes clearly.
It is also useful for identifying hidden visceral fat. This type of fat surrounds internal organs and is linked to metabolic health risks. Many people who appear healthy can still have elevated visceral fat levels.
DEXA scans can also track progress over time. By comparing scans, you can see whether fat is decreasing, muscle is increasing and whether your training or nutrition strategy is working.
DEXA Bone Density and Bone Health
Bone health is often overlooked until later in life, but changes in bone density can begin much earlier. DEXA bone density scans provide insight into bone mineral density and overall skeletal health.
This type of testing is particularly valuable for:
Women approaching menopause
Men over 40
Individuals dieting aggressively
Endurance athletes
People with low body weight
Those concerned about osteoporosis risk
Bone density loss is usually silent. A scan provides early information, allowing proactive changes to training, nutrition and lifestyle.
Strength training, adequate nutrition and monitoring can all support bone health. Testing allows these interventions to be tracked over time.
VO₂ Max Testing
VO₂ Max measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. It is considered one of the strongest indicators of cardiovascular fitness and overall health.
Higher VO₂ Max scores are associated with better endurance, improved heart health and greater longevity.
During testing, oxygen consumption is measured while exercise intensity gradually increases. This provides accurate data, including:
VO₂ Max score
Aerobic capacity
Heart rate training zones
Fitness age
Thresholds for endurance training
This information helps guide training intensity. Many people train too hard or too easy without realising. VO₂ Max testing removes guesswork and allows for more effective programming.
Fat Max Testing
Fat Max testing identifies the intensity at which your body burns the highest proportion of fat for fuel.
This is especially useful for individuals focused on fat loss or metabolic efficiency. Training at the correct intensity can improve fat oxidation and reduce reliance on carbohydrates.
Many people perform cardio at intensities that are too high, shifting the body away from fat utilisation. Fat Max testing provides personalised zones that optimise training.
This can support:
Fat loss goals
Endurance performance
Metabolic health
Energy efficiency
Sustainable cardio programming
Resting Metabolic Rate Testing
Resting Metabolic Rate testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest. This represents the largest portion of daily energy expenditure.
Many people rely on online calculators to estimate calorie needs. These formulas cannot account for metabolic adaptation, muscle mass differences or individual physiology.
RMR testing provides accurate, personalised data.
This can help with:
Fat loss planning
Identifying metabolic adaptation
Reverse dieting
Performance nutrition
Maintenance calorie targets
For those stuck in plateaus, this information can be particularly valuable. It allows calorie targets to be based on measurement rather than estimation.
Money Saving Bundles
BodyView Bristol will offer a range of money-saving bundles designed to give clients a complete health and performance snapshot.
RMR testing is included in select bundles, allowing you to combine metabolism assessment with other tests as part of a comprehensive package. Other bundles focus on DEXA body composition scans, VO₂ Max, Fat Max or bone health to provide insight into specific areas of performance or health.
Bundles allow clients to:
Gain a full picture of body composition, metabolism, and fitness
Optimise fat loss and performance goals
Track progress over time
Receive better value compared with individual tests
These packages are ideal for anyone serious about improving health, monitoring progress, or getting a deeper understanding of how their body works.
Meet Fitness Consultant Lilly
BodyView Bristol will also introduce Fitness Consultant Lilly, who will support clients through testing and results interpretation.
Having expert guidance ensures that results translate into meaningful action. Lilly will help explain findings, answer questions and guide next steps.
Why Combine Testing?
Each test provides valuable information, but combining them creates a complete picture.
DEXA shows body composition
VO₂ Max shows cardiovascular fitness
Fat Max shows fat utilisation
RMR shows metabolism
Bone density shows skeletal health
Together, these measurements reveal how your body functions as a whole. This allows for smarter training, better nutrition and more accurate tracking.
