You've decided to make a change, like more intense training, a new exercise programme, or undergoing a fitness challenge. That takes motivation, and it deserves proper support. For many people, one question sits quietly underneath this change: is my heart actually ready for this?
The Step Up to Fitness Package at One Heart Clinic answers that question. It's specialist cardiac screening for people starting or stepping up exercise, combining resting and exercise-based heart tests with consultant cardiologist review to give you a clear picture of your cardiovascular readiness.
You might benefit from this assessment if you're:
If you already experience chest discomfort, breathlessness, or palpitations during exercise, our team can advise whether a symptom-focused package might be a better first step.

This package combines non-invasive cardiac investigations, laboratory testing, and a full specialist consultation to build a personalised and detailed view of your cardiovascular risk prior to stepping up your fitness levels. All findings are interpreted by a consultant cardiologist who will explain your results clearly and guide you on any next steps.
Your history, symptoms, and training goals reviewed by a specialist. At your follow-up all results reviewed with personalised advice on safe training progression given.
Screens for rhythm irregularities or electrical changes at rest. Used to evaluate heart rhythm and identify any abnormalities or signs of strain.
Ultrasound view of heart to assess structure, valves, and pump function. Can detect hidden conditions, many of which are very manageable when identified early.
An exercise tolerance test monitors ECG and blood pressure while you walk or cycle, helping reveal exertional symptoms or changes suggesting reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
Non-invasive scan for early plaque build-up in the arteries and an important factor in assessing future cardiovascular risk. It's an investigation that adds real depth to your overall assessment, identifying changes that standard checks don't capture.
Cholesterol, glucose, and metabolic markers relevant to exercise risk. These give your cardiologist the context needed to interpret your results and make recommendations that are specific to you.
Every patient at One Heart Clinic is seen by a consultant cardiologist with specialist knowledge in cardiac disease and exercise-related risk, so you get genuinely useful, accurate guidance.

Our ConsultantsNo. An exercise stress test is paced to your current level and stopped if you reach a target heart rate or develop limiting symptoms. It's designed to assess your heart safely, not push you to your limit.
The primary aim is safety and readiness, but results also inform how you structure training intensity. For deeper performance metrics such as VO₂ training zones, a separate performance package can be discussed.
Mention these when you book. The team will advise whether this package or a symptom-focused assessment, such as our chest pain or breathlessness package, is the right starting point.
The CT scan uses a very low dose of radiation to check for early plaque build-up in your arteries. While it is highly beneficial for assessing risk, your cardiologist will always review your personal risk factors to ensure the scan is clinically appropriate and safe for you before proceeding.
Our Step Up To Fitness package is fantastic for anyone from beginners to dedicated amateurs stepping up their routine.
