Posted On 19 May, 2026

Longevity medicine – medically guided, personally delivered – is now available inside Virgin Active Point. Here’s why it matters, what it does, and why we´re genuinely excited about it.

Virgin Active Point reopened in February 2026 after months of work to transform it into a social wellness destination. A space where every dimension of wellness, from training and recovery to nutrition and medicine, exists under one roof.

The Longevity Suite is the next step in that vision. It’s a space where you can view your wellness from a holistic Lense with the help of a medical professional, as part of your training, recovery and nutrition. Our on-site medical professionals will help you build the full picture of you wellness based on your blood markers, biological age, cardiovascual capacity, sleep, hormones, as well as your habits. From there you can find out what your body needs to perform at your best for the next 20 years.

The Longevity Suite tells you exactly which habits to change and precisely how.

What actually happens to the body as you age

As we age, particularly into our 40’s, the body’s internal systems begin shifting in ways that aren’t visible on the outside and aren’t captured by how hard you train.

Think about hormonal balance, metabolic efficiency, cellular recovery, cardiovascular capacity and more.

VO₂ max represents : your body’s ability to use oxygen during exercise. This starts declining from your mid-30s. Most people don’t know their number. Fewer still know what’s driving it or how to move it.

Biological age is : the age your body is actually functioning at, as opposed to your chronological age. It can differ by a decade or more depending on lifestyle, genetics, sleep quality, inflammation markers, and metabolic health. Recovery capacity shifts not just because you’re older, but because of specific, measurable factors – cortisol patterns, nutrient deficiencies, sleep architecture, inflammatory load – that respond directly to targeted interventions. When you know which ones apply to you, recovery stops being something you manage around and starts being something you actively improve.

Longevity isn’t about living longer. It’s about living better.

Longevity gets a bit of a bad rap – think Silicon Valley billionaires and extreme treatments.We’re not talking about that sort of thing, we’re talking about healthspan.: Tthe number of years you live in good health. With energy that matches your ambition. With a body that recovers the way it should. With the mental sharpness, physical capacity, and daily vitality that lets you show up fully.

Healthspan is what determines whether your 50s feel like a continuation of your best years or a slow negotiation with your limitations. And it’s being shaped right now, by habits you may not have examined, numbers you’ve likely never measured, and signals your body has been sending for longer than you realise.

The good news is: most of what shapes your healthspan is modifiable. You don’t need to overhaul your life. You need to know where to focus based on your own data

The goal isn’t to live to 100. It’s to still be training at 65, recovering well at 70, and feeling genuinely strong at every point in between.

Everything you need is inside.

At our social wellness clubs, we want to make it easier you to get everything you need for your wellness. The equipment, coaches, classes, recovery, nutrition and community are all here, and now you can get medical support in a space that’s comfortable and convenient. Our doctors will gather and disypher your data in a way that makes sense to you, and help you build a planb that works for your lifetstyle and goals.

Here’s exactly what happens — in two sessions

Session 1 · Your baseline assessment · 60 minutes

Your first consultation builds your complete health picture, by taking your full medical history, reviewings your wearable data, your sleep patterns, your training habits, and your nutrition. They go through your Technogym assessment results and combine everything with a thorough physical examination:

  • VO₂ max test using on-site Seismofit technology
  • Binah vitals scan, Prism body composition analysis, grip strength
  • Full evaluation of sleep, training load, nutrition and recovery patterns
  • Review of wearable data and any existing health records

Then, as part of your consultation you visit our on-site Neuberg lab for your blood draw.

Session 2 · Your results, your plan, your next 20 years · 60 minutes

Your second consultation is where everything becomes clear and actionable.

Your doctor presents your personalised Longevity Report. It includes your biological age, a radar chart showing exactly where you excel and where you have room to improve, and a full breakdown of every result.

Based on your results and goals your doctor will share your 90-day action plan Training adjustments, nutrition targets, recovery strategies, supplementation, and any additional therapies that are clinically appropriate for you. Your doctor walks you through every element, answers every question, and makes sure you leave the session knowing exactly what to do and precisely why.

Your follow-up appointment is booked before you leave – three or six months ahead – so your progress is tracked and your plan evolves as you do.

You don’t leave with a report. You leave with a roadmap and a doctor who made sure you understand every turn in it.
