My Vital Metrics Reviews 

I saw Alicia for my DEXA scan, she was very knowledgeable and helpful in terms of explaining everything and giving tips on areas I can improve. I highly recommend seeing Alicia

I had a really good experience with Owen Hutching at Vital Metrics Manchester. He was friendly, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly. The information was easy to understand, and I came away with a much better idea of how to use my results to support my fitness journey. I didn’t feel rushed at all, and Owen was happy to answer all my questions. I would definitely recommend him and Vital Metrics Manchester.

I started my fitness journey with MyVitalMetrics last year and have found them really useful, after the DEXA scan I’ve been given a breakdown of where I’m at and actions to improve further. Great team.

Me and my partner booked a 2 person package MyVital Metrics Manchester having DEXA body-composition and bone-density scans.

The Body Comp scan also includes the 360-degree “rotisserie chicken” 3D imaging. This provides a zoomable 3D body rendering & set of body measurements, which Owen then uses to inform a detailed posture analysis which is an excellent addition. Many clinics charge considerably more for this separately and this was a clincher for us in choosing MVM.

The clinic is inside the BASE building at Manchester Science Park which was easy to find and the reception area is swanky (just ask reception if you need to use toilets off the main foyer as they need a key fob).

Owen was friendly, patient and immediately made us feel at ease. He was very knowledgeable, not only about the scanning and analysis process but also about health, fitness, physiology and nutrition.

Results Explanation - He explained our results in a neutral, realistic and understandable way. Less favourable findings were presented honestly without any judgement, and he gave us their proper context. Owen’s observations prompted my partner to add several worthwhile considerations to his recomp plan.

One of the most valuable parts of the appointment was the amount of time Owen spent discussing the results. This was not simply a case of performing the scans, handing us PDF reports and reading through a few headline numbers from a script. At the beginning of the appointment, Owen asked why we had booked and what our goals / areas of interest were. He then framed each results discussion around those answers.It was a genuinely interactive discussion about what he could see in the results, what each metric meant and how the findings related to our individual circumstances. My partner and I had very different goals, so our consultations were highly individualised.

The time devoted to this was far more substantial than I had expected. I assumed most of the value would lie in the scans themselves and that we'd need to do a considerable amount of research afterwards of the results. In reality, the detailed interpretation and access to Owen’s knowledge and guidance were clearly a major part of what we were paying for. There was also plenty of time for us to ask questions and discuss how we could use the findings practically.

Data - A really important feature for me was receiving proper possession of the reports and data, without having to request any of it specially. Within a couple of hours, we had been emailed the PDF reports, images and tables containing all our measurements and metrics. With the 3D scan, you also receive access to an app through which you can view your image. Owen additionally provides a short, individually written report summarising the principal findings and takeaways.

I was also impressed that there was absolutely no upselling or pressure to book further services. Owen was honest about what the scans could and could not tell us and realistic about how frequently they might be worth repeating. Maximum kudos for that.

I had expected that I would return annually to monitor one of my health conditions. However, both of us will be getting another body comp in 4 months, as we found it such good value. Again, this was in no way prescribed, but having an objective follow-up date in the diary to find out accurately how we've done will help motivate us as we are both making concerted dietary interventions atm. Going as a couple was unexpectedly enjoyable, comparing and laughing about our measurements.

Competitive Package - The couples’ bundle was excellent value. Even without that offer, the standard prices were comparatively very reasonable. Availability was also excellent: no months-long waiting list, and we had a couple of times to choose from on our preferred day.

Overall: 10/10. An excellent package, service and location, with highly professional, informative and practical guidance from Owen. We were both extremely impressed and are already looking forward to returning in a few months.

PSA: Don't Trust Your Scales!!! - I had wanted a DEXA body-composition scan for years but hesitated over the cost, relying instead on home bioimpedance scales. I knew they were finicky, algorithm-driven and not objectively accurate, but assumed they would at least show directional change and provide some ballpark accuracy to which I could give some consideration in my health plans and goals. My DEXA showed they had overstated my body fat by more than 6 percentage points - an enormous discrepancy. I cannot overstate how much having an accurate checkpoint has changed my understanding of my health and self-perception. My (lying) scales are now destined for ceremonial destruction and I will just use the mirror until my next scan.

The service at My Vital Metrics is really good. Don’t be put off by their slightly dated and clunky website, the actual service is excellent.

Had a DEXA scan composition and bone density at the manchester site. Staff member AM made the process easy and talked me through it so even the intricate information was understandable. Definitely go back again.

Very efficient service from booking to appointment. Clear insight presented by Akash on what the scan showed.

Quick, simple, excellent information provided. Every adult should get a Dexa Scan every couple of years just as a benchmark for their own health. I found it informative and fascinating.

Amazing Insight - Fantastic Service.

Knowledgeable staff, and data that will save my race.

I did the Fuelling Plan test and loved it :)

Akash was fantastic. He explained all of my dexa scan results to me and was very encouraging throughout the VO2 max test.

Great service, fantastic staff, highly recommended.

Good experience in the London lab. Lots of useful information provided re the DEXA scan and VO2 max assessment. Efficient and friendly.

I had a full body composition scan with Akash at the Manchester facility. He was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, and made me feel at ease throughout the process. Would highly recommend to anyone.

My Vital Metrics team were friendly, helpful and very informative. As someone who has a hidden disability (MS) they made me feel comfortable and implemented the necessary adaptions to ensure I had accurate results. I would definitely recommend them.

Great place and great staff.
I was not sure what to expect and thought things would be rushed to run all the tests in a bundle. I was wrong. Akash took the time to explain everything in detail and was very patient with all of my questions.
The location in Manchester is easy to access and there is a large car park very near.
The place is well-equipped and clean.
The tests results are given and discussed during the sessions.
It has been very informative and I have learnt a few things about my body.

I can only recommend My Vital Metrics to anyone who wants to learn more about their body.
Akash has also been brilliant- Thank you

I went into the London lab and it was a great experience from beginning to end. Owen took time to explain everything and share some top level intel following the tests. I could sense the passion in the work he does.
I would highlight recommend to anyone considering to invest in your health and longevity.

Joe was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The whole experience was excellent and the information I received was definitely useful. Would recommend them without hesitation and plan to return for another service and bring a friend!

My wife and I booked a Bone Density and Body Composition scan at the Manchester site. Akash performed the scan.
The whole experience from booking through to review of the scan was exceptional.
Akash did a great job by making both of us feel as ease and he described the scan report in simple layman terms.
It was a great service and will definitely book again.

I had dexa scan and v02 max at manchester with akash. The was very professional, from the point of receiving appointment confirmation to taking test and explanation. Both test were carried out and the result and Information was amazing and well explained. I especially liked the vo2max and zone analysis with aerobic/anaerobic exact calories, training zones and fat/ carbs burnt during exercise. I would definitely recommend this company.
