The Science behind your DNA Reports.

FitnessGenes was founded by scientists, and science remains at the centre of everything that we do.
All reports are produced by our in-house team of doctors, geneticists, and fitness specialists to ensure that you receive detailed, accurate and actionable information from the very latest research.

Next-Generation DNA Arrays.

From a single sample of your saliva, we identify your unique collection of more than 600,000 individual genetic variants.
This one-time test provides our team with the data needed to both generate your initial reports and deliver all future releases.

Your sample is processed using the gold standard in DNA sequencing, the Illumina Infinium Global Screening Array.

By sharing the same testing technology as 23andMe and Ancestry.com, this allows us to offer our DNA upload service to existing customers of these providers.

Lifestyle Analysis.

Your DNA only tells part of your story. To truly understand the effect that it's having on your fitness and health, we combine your genetic data with your daily lifestyle.

Your lifestyle analysis gathers critical insights into your activity levels, body composition, sleep quality, age, food choices and more to ensure that we build a complete picture of exactly who you are.

And as your lifestyle changes, you can update this information to ensure that your results and recommendations evolve with you.
