Fitness & training DNA · GxPerform

Train for the body you have, not the program you found.

GxPerform looks at genes linked to how your heart responds to exercise, how you fuel, how fast you recover and your soft-tissue injury risk.

Who it’s for

  • You train hard and plateau
  • You are coming back from injury or are injury-prone
  • You coach clients and want a starting profile
  • You are 40+ and want to train smarter, not just harder

How we use it

  1. We set your cardio/strength split from your response genes.
  2. We time carbs and protein around training based on your fuel results.
  3. If inflammation or injury markers are elevated, we build in more recovery and progressive loading.
  4. Retest performance every 8–12 weeks; your training log is the final judge.

What the science says, and what it doesn’t

  • How much fitness people gain from the same program varies widely, and about half of that variation is heritable (HERITAGE Family Study, Bouchard et al., J Appl Physiol 1999).
  • No single gene makes an athlete. These results guide emphasis (endurance vs strength, recovery), not talent.
  • CRP levels are partly genetic and track with inflammation, which affects recovery.
