Miami, Florida – BodyK is providing peace of mind to members of the community by leading the charge with on-site COVID-19 testing in Miami-Dade County.

Tests offered include the COVID-19 PCR Nasal Swab test, the Rapid COVID-19 Antibody test, and the DBS COVID-19 Quantitative Antibody test.
Launched in 2019 as a concierge wellness company by Miami local Mari Martinez, BodyK quickly switched gears to meet the testing demand presented by the pandemic.
