DNA Sports & Performance Check
$450 NZD
$754 NZD
Find out your genetic athletic profile with this simple cheek swab test. Your DNA athletic profile reflects how your body is genetically wired to perform, recover, and adapt across key systems that drive physical and mental performance. This includes your capacity for power, strength, and endurance, as well as how efficiently you store and use energy, absorb nutrients, manage inflammation, and respond to hormonal shifts. Genetic variations may influence your injury risk, mental focus, and ability to recover between sessions, meaning your results can improve dramatically when training, nutrition, and recovery are aligned to your unique biology.Unlike other generic DNA tests on the market, Our DNA Sports & Performance Check is performed by an accredited laboratory and results are analysed by our local team of molecular biologists, data scientists and clinicians to deliver your personalised report.
Find Out Your DNA Athletic Profile
Your DNA athletic profile reveals how your body is genetically primed to perform, adapt, and recover — influencing everything from strength and endurance to energy efficiency, mental focus, inflammation, and injury risk. Whether you're hitting plateaus in training, struggling with recovery, or curious about what type of training and nutrition suits you best, understanding your genetic profile gives you the tools to train smarter, fuel better, and unlock your potential.
You'll receive a detailed report outlining your unique genetic strengths and limitations, with clear insights into how this affects your performance. Based on your profile, we’ll provide personalised training and nutrition strategies, plus targeted supplement guidance to support your goals.
Find out more about the different DNA performance profiles here.
The simple cheek swab test analyses key genes linked to athletic performance, including those that influence muscle power, endurance capacity, energy metabolism, recovery, inflammation, nutrient absorption, and hormonal response.
These genetic insights affect a range of functions critical to athletic success, including:
- Power & Strength Potential
- Endurance Potential
- Balance & Stability
- Injury Risk
- Recovery Speed & Inflammation
- Energy Storage & Utilisation
- Mental Focus & Stress Response
- Nutrient Absorption & Hormonal Balance
- Training Plan Preferences
- Medication Interactions
You’ll receive a detailed interpretation of your results, along with personalised training, nutrition, and lifestyle recommendations to help you optimise your performance based on your unique DNA profile.

What's included
DNA Athletic Profile
Your DNA athletic profile reflects how your body is genetically wired to perform, recover, and adapt across key systems that drive physical and mental performance. This includes your capacity for power, strength, and endurance, as well as how efficiently you store and use energy, absorb nutrients, manage inflammation, and respond to hormonal shifts. Genetic variations may influence your injury risk, mental focus, and ability to recover between sessions, meaning your results can improve dramatically when training, nutrition, and recovery are aligned to your unique biology.
DNA Athletic Performance Genes Covered
The following genes are included within the scope of this test report:
Power & Strength Potential
Your genes shape how easily you build muscle, move heavy loads and produce explosive force – from fast-twitch fibre makeup to your body’s natural strength response.
Power & Strength Genetic Limitations
If your genes limit muscle growth or explosive power—like fewer fast-twitch fibers or a slower strength response—don’t worry. With targeted resistance training, progressive overload, and power-focused work, you can build serious strength and close the gap.
Endurance Potential
From oxygen use to energy efficiency, your genes shape how well you handle long-haul efforts. If endurance isn't your superpower, don’t sweat it – we’ll show you how to build it with the right training and support.
Endurance Genetic Limitations
From oxygen delivery to energy production, your genes influence how well you go the distance. If endurance doesn’t come naturally—due to factors like reduced mitochondrial function, oxygen transport, or muscle fiber balance—don’t worry. With smart training, targeted nutrition, and recovery strategies, you can build serious stamina and turn those genetic gaps into gains.
Recovery Speed & Inflammation Genetic Limitations
Your genes help determine how fast you bounce back and how much inflammation your body holds onto. Some people recover fast naturally – others need to double down on sleep, nutrition, and smart recovery tools.
Injury & Instability Risk
Your genes influence how well your body handles load, stress and repair – some people are naturally more prone to soft-tissue strains, joint issues or conditions associated with musculoskeletal instability. Knowing your risk means you can train smarter, prevent setbacks, and keep moving forward.
Mental Focus & Stress Response
Genes affect how sharp, driven and focused you feel under pressure – from brain chemicals to stress response. Whether you thrive on high intensity or need help zoning in, this profile gives you the edge.
Nutrition & Hormonal Balance
Your genes not only affect how well you absorb key nutrients like vitamin D, iron and B12 – they also influence when your body best processes fuel. Variants in your CLOCK gene can guide ideal meal timing for energy, metabolism and performance, helping you eat smarter, not just cleaner.
Medication Interactions & Substance Sensitivities
Your DNA can shape how your body responds to medications and substances like salt or caffeine, affecting training, performance, recovery, and overall results. Understanding this in advance helps prevent complications and allows you to personalise everything from supplements to prescription support.
Training Plan Preferences
Your genes can guide when and how to train for peak results – from your internal body clock (CLOCK gene) to how your hormones shift throughout the month. If you're a morning energy type, high-intensity work early in the day may suit you best, while others thrive with afternoon sessions. For women, genes influencing oestrogen sensitivity and hormone metabolism can impact strength, endurance, and recovery across your cycle – meaning there are better times for lifting heavy, going hard, or focusing on mobility and restoration. Tailoring your plan to your DNA helps you train in sync, not against your biology.
