Champneys Wellbeing & Fitness Services

Whatever your health and fitness goals, our personalised one to one workouts or consultations will accommodate your needs. From the workaholic to the couch potato, you can book a single session or sign up for a series of workouts to give you that initial kick start and keep that motivation going when you return home. Those with physical limitations and special needs can use these sessions to rehabilitate as well as improve fitness. Select from services such as:

Health Appraisal

This simple test incorporates three of the most vital measurements covering a person's health & fitness:


  • Body fat - recognised as a far greater indicator of physical health than simple body weight
  • Blood pressure - a major factor for heart disease
  • Aerobic ability - which gives a clear insight into your current fitness level and the extent of any improvements that may need to be made.

The appraisal will conclude with an explanation of results and advice on how to improve them if necessary.

Fitness Evaluation

For those of you seriously thinking about starting a new exercise programme, or for those of you who already train regularly, this is a fantastic way of establishing your current level of fitness. It involves the measurement of your blood pressure, weight, body fat, lung function, flexibility, strength and cardiovascular fitness. Results will then highlight any strengths and weaknesses allowing you to plan your training with a greater degree of accuracy.

Personal Training Workout

This is a fun, personalised one to one workout, which will enable you to focus upon your fitness goals with the assistance of a highly professional personal trainer. A variety of training methods and equipment can be used to accommodate your needs, whether it be a workout in the gym or pool, a personalised boxercise or fitball class, or a fitness walk in the grounds. Book a single session for that initial kick-start, try training with a friend, or sign up for a series of workouts to keep that motivation going.

Exercise Prescription

An exercise prescription is geared towards those who wish to incorporate exercise into their lifestyle through a personalised programme. During this one hour consultation, advice and suggestions on exercise programmes will be given to ensure your time spent exercising is fun, safe and effective. In accordance with your own exercise requirements, a complete programme will be constructed for you to take home and implement, whether it be in a pool, gym, outside or at home.

Body Composition Analysis

This service will provide you with an analysis of your body composition - your body's LEAN and FAT weight. With guidance from a fitness instructor, it will help you in achieving the correct body composition for health, and allow any discussion on changes that will benefit you in terms of your activity levels and/or diet. The report will also provide you with an estimate of your basal metabolic rate which helps you to assess your daily calorie requirements.

(Please note that for best results with repeat tests it is recommended that eating, drinking caffeine and alcohol or performing strenuous exercise should be avoided where possible 4 to 5 hours before the test)

Cholesterol Screening

Take the opportunity to find out your total blood cholesterol level in minutes, with a simple and painless test. Cholesterol is an essential fat required within the body for proper physiological functioning, and is harmless when the balance in the body is correct.

However, sometimes this balance can go wrong. There are no symptoms of high cholesterol, and if left undetected can lead to coronary heart disease. The level can be corrected in many cases by small lifestyle changes. Your result will be recorded for you and explained by the fitness instructor, with future recommendations on how to control and reduce cholesterol levels.

Food Intolerance Indicator Tests

Millions of people suffer from food intolerance. This type of delayed reaction to food is known to contribute to chronic conditions and unwellness such as arthritis, acne, asthma, IBS, lethargy and headaches. The Food Intolerance Test will tell you whether you are reacting to food or not.

The simple pin prick test tells you ‘yes’ or ‘no’ by testing a sample of your blood against mixtures of food. Your ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer is sent direct to your home within 10 working days. If your test is positive you can then choose to upgrade (at an additional cost) to a detailed test against either 42 foods or 113 foods to identify your problem at an additional but discounted charge.

Postural Analysis

Our posture is influenced by how we stand, sit, lift and by our occupation and activity levels. As a result of poor posture, certain muscles can bceome weaker and longer and others stronger and shorter causing injury and pain. The postural Analysis assesses your current posture, body alignment, strength and flexibility . By identifying weakness and / or imbalances in your body, Champneys can help you to learn corrective exercises to help reduce back ache and pain, avoid injury and increase your wellbeing and your body's ability to move at ease.

What to wear

For personal training, fitness evaluations and health appraisals, please arrive at the Fitness Reception wearing trainers and exercise wear. For these treatments, avoid all-in-one outfits ans body-fat measurements require access to the upper back and hip area.

Cancellation fees

Please note that 24 hours notice of cancellation for any appointment is required for all services, otherwise 50% of the total service price will be charged. In the event that we are unable to re-sell the reserved service time, full payment will be required.
