"I spent years fighting my genetics. Once I embraced my endurance profile, everything clicked."
Struggling with running performance despite consistent strength training. Always felt she was "fighting" her body during endurance events.
Pure slow-twitch muscle fibre profile with elite mitochondrial capacity — genetically built for endurance, not power.
Real athletes, real genetic discoveries, measurable performance improvements.
"The afternoon coffee was killing my deep sleep. Stopping it cost nothing and changed everything."
Slow caffeine metaboliser with high anxiety sensitivity. Cutting caffeine at 11 am improved HRV by 23% and led to new PBs within 6 weeks.
"Knowing my risk genes let me train smarter, not just harder."
Moderate soft tissue injury risk led to extended warm-ups, collagen supplementation, and strict 10% progression rule.
"I was literally throwing money away. The test paid for itself in supplement savings."
Genetic non-responder to creatine supplementation. Switched to beta-alanine and citrulline malate with better results.
"Understanding my 'Worrier' profile helped me reframe my anxiety as focus."
"Worrier" genotype with naturally high dopamine. Used mindfulness training and reduced caffeine to harness pre-race nerves as competitive focus.
"At 52, I thought my best days were behind me. My genes said otherwise."
Robust collagen genetics indicated lower injury risk than age suggested. Confidently increased training load and added speed work.
"Finally understood why heavy squats felt natural but 10K runs destroyed me."
Pure fast-twitch power profile with elite glycolytic capacity. Shifted training to emphasise strength and short-duration power events.

Professional coaches using SportGene to optimise athlete performance.
"SportGene has transformed how I programme for my athletes. Instead of guessing who responds to high-volume training, I know their genetic predisposition from day one."
"The injury risk insights alone are worth the investment. I've adjusted warm-up protocols for three high-risk athletes — none have had soft tissue injuries since."
"Every masters athlete should take this test. Understanding collagen genetics changes everything about how you approach training volume as you age."
