You can lift weights five days a week, smash your step count and still have a health issue quietly brewing under the surface.
In short, biology does not care about your Strava stats – which is exactly why booking in for a proper health screening is one of the most intelligent things you can do for your long game. At Welbeck, that process happens in a boutique, purpose-built environment designed to feel calm, discreet and thorough, not rushed or transactional.
Here are five of its most popular health checks to consider.
1. The Men’s Health Check: Your Full MOT
If you only book one thing this year, make it this.
Welbeck’s Men’s Health Check takes a prevention-first approach, screening for multiple conditions and picking up early warning signs before they become bigger problems. The package is tailored to your age, lifestyle and family history, and delivered in its dedicated Men’s Health centre by leading consultants and expert nurses.
Expect an in-depth initial assessment covering BMI, blood pressure and medical history, followed by comprehensive blood and urine tests assessing everything from testosterone and PSA levels to cholesterol, glucose and liver function. Depending on your consultation, you may also have an ECG to assess your heart’s electrical activity, plus ultrasound or urine flow testing.
All necessary tests are carried out on the same day, under one roof, with results typically available within five working days. You’ll then have a follow-up consultation to walk through your results and, if needed, build a clear treatment or optimisation plan.
2. Full Body Screening: The Deep Dive
If the Men’s Health Check is your MOT, this is the full service.
Welbeck’s Health Assessment & Longevity assessment focuses on early detection and optimisation, led by medical director Dr Simrat Marwah. The goal is not just to spot problems, but to identify risk factors early and help you extend both lifespan and healthspan.
Expect advanced screening that can include genetic testing and cutting-edge imaging, alongside a detailed medical consultation exploring your family history, goals and lifestyle. Sleep, diet, exercise and mental wellbeing are all factored into your assessment, because long-term health is rarely about one single metric.
The experience itself is deliberately structured to feel considered rather than clinical. You’re guided by a dedicated chaperone for the duration of your time at the centre, with time in a private pod between consultations. Testing can run across the day or be split to suit your schedule.
Afterwards, your results are consolidated into a comprehensive report, with clear explanations and a tailored action plan. An immediate follow-up can be arranged quickly via Welbeck’s extensive network of specialists, and ongoing check-ins at three, six and 12 months help keep you accountable.
3. Heart Screening: Know Your Numbers
Heart disease is still one of the biggest killers of men in the UK.
Welbeck’s Private Heart Health Screening is designed for asymptomatic men who simply want clarity, especially if you have a family history of cardiac disease or raised cholesterol. In one 90-minute visit, you’ll undergo a 12-lead ECG (echocardiogram), 24-hour blood-pressure monitoring, blood tests and a QRisk score calculation, which estimates your percentage risk of a cardiac event in the next five to 10 years.
You’ll then receive a personalised report from a leading cardiologist, alongside practical advice on how to manage your risk.
4. VO2 Max Testing: The Ultimate Cardio Check
Think you’re fit? VO2 Max Testing will reveal all.
This gold-standard measure of aerobic capacity assesses your peak oxygen consumption while you cycle under controlled conditions, wearing a mask that tracks oxygen in and carbon dioxide out. Your heart rate and vital signs are monitored throughout as resistance increases to the point of fatigue.
The result is a precise snapshot of your cardiovascular fitness, giving you the information needed to tailor training, track progress or understand your exercise tolerance. For performance-driven men, it’s invaluable.
5. 360º Mole Mapping: Skin In The Game
If you’ve ever shrugged off a changing mole, reconsider.
Welbeck’s 360º Mole Mapping captures a detailed, full-body image of your skin in seconds, creating a 3D avatar that documents every mole. Images are examined by a dermatology consultant and stored securely, with AI technology flagging any changes that occur from one appointment to another.
It’s particularly important if you have numerous moles, a history of sun exposure or a family history of skin cancer. Even if you just want peace of mind, having your entire skin surface mapped and professionally reviewed provides powerful reassurance.
If anything suspicious is found, you’ll be guided through next steps with clear, transparent pricing and consultant-led care.
So, don’t delay – take charge of your health today.
Welbeck combines specialist expertise with a calm, discreet setting and transparent, patient-first care. If you’re serious about staying strong for the long haul, start by understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.

Isaac Williams is Site Editor for both Women’s Health UK and Men’s Health UK, guiding and supporting the content teams to create content across all platforms. Isaac’s love of health and fitness began at Loughborough University, where he graduated with a History and English degree in 2014. His first job was at Men’s Running magazine, where he progressed from Staff Writer to Editor. Among his highlights of those four years include completing a 24-hour track race (never again), just about finishing a multi-day ultramarathon in the Azores, and chugging his way around a ‘beer mile’. Isaac ventured into the world of freelance journalism in 2018, interviewing some of the biggest names in sport – like Anthony Joshua and Ben Stokes – and writing features for the likes of The Guardian, Red Bull, ShortList and BBC Countryfile. He was also a regular contributor to an adventure series called ‘The Man Who’: speaking to some of the world’s most extreme explorers from the wilds of Caffè Nero. In late-2019, Isaac became Editor of Men’s Fitness UK. In his five years there, Isaac was responsible for editing the monthly magazine and managing website content, ultimately helping the brand transition to a ‘digital-first’ approach. He joined Hearst UK as Multiplatform Editor in December 2024, where he manages day-to-day digital output, edits content and writes articles on all things health and fitness. When he’s not hammering at his keyboard, Isaac enjoys exercise and trying – unsuccessfully, so far – to teach his baby son to kick a football. You can follow Isaac on Instagram @isaacw1993.
