Frequently Asked
Questions

What is REACH Labs?

REACH Labs is a clinical and research facility specializing in health and performance assessment. We offer advanced testing services such as DEXA scans, VO₂ max testing, oral glucose tolerance test, blood draws and other evidence-based evaluations.

 

In addition to clinical services, we support researchers and academic institutions by offering a full range of clinical research services, including data collection, research protocol development, ethics submissions, and more.

What is the difference between clinical services and research studies?

Our clinical services (such as DEXA scans, VO₂ max testing, blood draws and many more) are available to anyone interested in assessing their health and fitness.

Our research studies, on the other hand, are part of clinical or fundamental research projects. We offer a wide range of research-related services including blood draws, clinical measurements, data collection, participant recruitment and database management, as well as assistance with ethics submissions and documentation.

We are also continuously recruiting participants for various research studies. Participation is entirely voluntary and free of charge. Depending on the study, participants may receive compensation or complimentary health assessments.

  • Nutrition and supplementation
  • Performance optimization

Many studies involve tools like DEXA, VO₂ max, strength testing, or metabolic assessments, muscle biopsies and blood draws.

Will I be compensated for participating?

Some studies offer compensation, while others provide free health testing or fitness results by our healthcare professionals. Each study is different, and we’ll provide full details before you choose to participate.

Is my personal information safe?

Yes. Your information is stored securely and used only to contact you about relevant research opportunities. All research follows strict ethical guidelines and confidentiality standards.
