HealthCity has launched a personalised training offering that’s based on members’ genetic response to exercise and diet.

The DNAFit test – which won the Spark of Innovation award at this year’s ukactive Matrix Flame awards – is now offered by HealthCity in each of its clubs in the Netherlands and France.

The DNAFit Diet and Fitness tests scan up to 45 gene variants – slightly different versions of genes – linked to a body’s capacity to cope with training and food.The tests reveals whether you may be best suited to endurance exercise (heavy cardio) or power exercise (weights and sprints), how much recovery time you need between training, your risk of soft tissue damage, and what kind of diet would best assist with weight loss.
