Finally understood why I struggled with the running sections despite training hard. My genetics showed poor lactate clearance — now I train specifically for that weakness.
DNA-Powered Performance
Decode Your
Genetic Potential
50 genetic markers. 17 performance profiles. Your personalised blueprint for athletic excellence — backed by science, delivered in weeks.
What You'll Discover
Actionable insights across every aspect of your athletic performance.
Power vs Endurance
Discover your muscle fibre composition and whether you're built for explosive power or sustained endurance.
Recovery Speed (Physical)
Learn how quickly your body repairs muscle damage and clears inflammation after intense training.
Injury Risk Profile
Identify genetic vulnerabilities in tendons and ligaments to prevent injuries before they happen.
Fat Burning Efficiency
Could you train to burn fat more efficiently? No lactate production from fat oxidation means faster recovery between stations.
Creatine Response
Up to 30% of Europeans are genetic "zero responders" to creatine supplementation. Discover if it works for you.
Lactate Clearance Efficiency
Discover how efficiently your body clears lactate during high-intensity exercise — key to recovery between efforts.

Explore the ScienceWhat Our Athletes Say
Join thousands of athletes who've unlocked their genetic potential.
The caffeine section was a game-changer. I'm a slow metaboliser — my afternoon coffees were destroying my sleep without me realising. Cut them and recovery improved massively.
As a coach, I now recommend this to all my serious athletes. The injury prevention insights alone have saved multiple athletes from unnecessary setbacks.
Always wondered why my mates could handle more training volume than me. Turns out I have the 'Worrier' COMT profile — need more recovery time but better at focused skill work.
Confirmed what I suspected — I'm built for endurance. But the surprise was discovering I'm a poor creatine responder. Stopped wasting money on supplements that don't work for me.
At 52, I was worried about injury risk. The report showed my collagen genes are actually robust — gave me confidence to keep pushing. Best investment I've made.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your genetic test.
How does the DNA collection work?
It's a simple, painless cheek swab — no blood required. Your kit includes two sterile swabs. Just rub the inside of your cheek for 30 seconds each, let them air dry for 2 minutes, then pop them in the prepaid return envelope.
The whole process takes less than 5 minutes. We recommend doing it first thing in the morning before eating or drinking for best results.
How long until I get my results?
From the moment our UK laboratory receives your sample, processing takes approximately 2 weeks. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your report is ready to view in your secure customer portal.
Total time from ordering is typically 2-3 weeks depending on postal times.
How is this different from ancestry tests?
Ancestry tests like 23andMe focus on your heritage and health predispositions. SportGene is specifically designed for athletic performance.
We analyse 50 SNPs directly related to power, endurance, recovery, injury risk, and supplement response — then translate them into actionable training and nutrition recommendations. It's the difference between knowing where you came from and knowing how to perform better.
Is my genetic data safe and private?
Absolutely. We take data protection extremely seriously:
GDPR Compliant — Your genetic data is classified as special category data and handled with the highest standards of protection.
AES-256 Encryption — All genetic data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
UK Laboratory — Your sample is processed in an ISO-certified UK facility and never leaves the country.
Your Control — You can request complete deletion of your data at any time.
Do I need to be an elite athlete?
Not at all! SportGene is designed for athletes at every level — from weekend warriors to elite competitors.
In fact, recreational athletes often benefit the most. If you've been training for years with guesswork, finally understanding your genetic blueprint can unlock progress you didn't know was possible. It's about training smarter, not just harder.
What if my results show unfavourable genetics?
Your genetics are a roadmap, not a ceiling. Every "challenge" in your report comes with specific interventions to overcome it.
For example, if you have the "slow caffeine metaboliser" variant, we'll tell you exactly when to stop drinking coffee to protect your sleep. If you have elevated injury risk genes, we'll provide a targeted prevention protocol. Knowledge is power — literally.
Can I use this for my child?
Yes, with parental consent. We recommend a minimum age of 10 years old for testing.
Young developing athletes can benefit enormously from understanding their genetic predispositions early — helping them choose the right sport, avoid preventable injuries, and develop training habits suited to their biology.
The parent or guardian must complete the order and consent process.
What sports does the test cover?
While we've tailored the language and recommendations for Hyrox and CrossFit athletes, the genetic insights apply to virtually any sport.
Power vs endurance, recovery capacity, injury risk, caffeine response — these traits matter whether you're a runner, swimmer, cyclist, footballer, or any other athlete. The underlying genetics are universal; only the application differs.
