The Wattbike Healthspan Check: The Simple Way to Monitor Health and Track Improvement

How fit are you really, and what does that mean for your long-term health?

The all-new Wattbike Healthspan Check, now available via the free Wattbike Hub app, is a science-backed benchmarking workout that gives you a clear understanding of your cardiorespiratory fitness, one of the most powerful predictors of health and longevity.

What Is the Healthspan Check?

The Healthspan Check is a guided workout that takes just 6 to 12 minutes to complete. Delivered through the Wattbike Hub app, the session starts at a low intensity and gradually increases, giving users clear targets for power output and leg speed (cadence) throughout.

Once completed, users receive their Healthspan Score — a simple yet powerful number derived from VO₂ Max and your personal data using your heart rate, age, gender, cadence, and power output.
 

Why It Matters: From Performance to Longevity

Your Healthspan Score reflects how efficiently your heart, lungs, and muscles work together during exercise. It’s more than just a fitness stat, it’s your personal long-term health indicator.

“The Healthspan Score packages decades of exercise science into a simple number that speaks to everyone, motivating individuals to improve their overall health for the future.”

Eddie Fletcher, Lead Sport Scientist, Wattbike

This unique metric can help indicate your risk of illness or cardiovascular disease, while also offering a clear benchmark to track your health and fitness progression over time. Making it easily repeatable so you can see the effectiveness of your training with the Wattbike Hub App.

Smart, Personalised, and Easy to Use

After completing the Healthspan Check, you’ll receive:

• A personalised Healthspan Score
• A percentage comparison to others in your age group and demographic
• Suggested training plans and training zones
• Personalised sessions in the Hub App tailored to your Healthspan Score

The Healthspan Check is built directly into the Wattbike Hub app, making it easy to follow and accessible for all users. No specialist equipment or prior knowledge is needed when using the Healthspan Check.

Early testers, including BUPA practitioners, described it as “easy to follow and understand,” while praising its ability to give users “great insights into their overall health, as well as clear direction and goals to improve long-term fitness.”

Training to Live Better, Longer

This isn’t just another performance tool. The Healthspan Check helps you understand not just how fit you are, but what that means for your current and future health.

Whether you're training for your first sportive or aiming to extend your active years, this simple assessment gives you meaningful insight, personalised programming, and a clear direction for improving your long-term fitness.
