Sound familiar?

Elite coaching should not feel like trial and error. These are the frustrations SportGene removes.

Same programme, different results

Two athletes follow identical plans. One adapts fast. One stalls. Genetics explains the gap.

Preventable injuries keep happening

Soft tissue injuries derail blocks. Genetic markers flag elevated risk before it becomes a problem.

Supplement roulette

Caffeine, creatine, vitamin D. Genetics reveals who responds and who is wasting money.

The solution

From guesswork to precision coaching

SportGene analyses 50 genetic markers across 17 performance profiles. You will know which athletes recover fast, who thrives under pressure, and where nutrition will move the needle.

Build training programmes that align with biology. Reduce setbacks. Optimise every athlete's path to peak performance.

Frequently asked questions

Everything coaches ask before joining the SportGene partner programme.

How much does it cost for my team?

Each test is £199 at full price. Partner coaches receive a unique discount code for athletes with a reduced rate. There are no bulk pricing tiers.

Do I need to order in bulk?

No. There is no minimum order and no upfront cost. Athletes purchase individually using your code, and we handle fulfilment and delivery.

How long until results are ready?

Reports are typically available within 21 days after samples arrive at our UK laboratory. Athletes receive an email notification when their report is ready.

Can I see my athletes' results?

Not currently. Reports are personal and delivered directly to each athlete. Our upcoming coach dashboard will allow athletes to optionally share their profiles with you.

What does the athlete actually receive?

Each athlete gets access to a secure online portal with their full SportGene report. The report covers all 17 performance profiles with clear explanations, colour-coded risk ratings, and actionable training recommendations. Reports are accessible on any device via a secure login.

How accurate is genetic testing for sport?

Genetic testing identifies predispositions, not guarantees. It tells you how an athlete is likely to respond to training, nutrition, and recovery — not what will definitely happen. The science behind SNP-based performance testing is well established, with thousands of peer-reviewed studies. SportGene uses a UKAS-accredited laboratory and focuses on markers with strong evidence in sports science literature.

Can athletes opt out of sharing data?

Yes. Reports are personal to each athlete and delivered directly to them. Athletes are never required to share their results with anyone, including their coach. Our upcoming coach dashboard will be opt-in — athletes choose whether to share their profiles.

What if my code isn't used?

There is no cost and no risk. Your code is simply a discount code athletes can use if they choose. We handle all fulfilment, shipping, and support — you just share the code when it comes up in conversation.

Do you provide support interpreting results?

Yes. The SportGene report is designed to be self-explanatory with clear categories and recommendations. Our team is also available to answer questions from partner coaches about interpreting profiles and integrating insights into training programmes.

What sports does SportGene cover?

Our panel is optimised for Hyrox, CrossFit, and general athletic performance. The 50 markers and 17 profiles apply across endurance, power, and hybrid disciplines.

Is this medical testing?

No. SportGene is a performance and wellness genetic test, not a medical diagnostic. We analyse performance markers, not disease risk.

How do I track referrals?

Your partner dashboard shows every purchase made with your code, including date and amount. We send monthly summaries.
