This is an excellent method of finding out more how your body reacts to training. The process was simple in taking the DNA sample and all instructions were very clear. Two full reports were received within about 4 weeks which are very thorough, breaking down various components such as endurance, aerobic potential, recovery and injury risk. This is followed up by a one to one consultation on the phone. This went further into the report with the consultant giving specific training advice to consider. The nutrition report was in-depth as I have yet to complete the consultation I am unable to comment.
Kit was delivered quickly and results came though fast as well. The results provided were so interesting and informative. My consultation with the nutrition consultant was thorough and they went through my results top to bottom. It really helped to be able to speak to someone to explain everything. Since getting my results I have slightly altered my eating habits (nothing crazy or unrealistic) and have already felt more energy and generally healthier. I have yet to have my fitness consultation but am sure that the conversation will be just as informative and helpful. Thanks DNA Fit!
Very clear information and support available to provide more information.
I think this is a really good thing to do if you want to try to target the ideal training and eating strategy for your body. On the whole, I think it told me a lot of what I knew but this was because I have tried and tested many workouts and foods, especially due to some intolerances. It certainly helps to reassure though and provide additional detail on what supplements to take based on your dietary needs. An improvement would be for the phone consultation to be more complete. Whilst advertised that staff would focus on fitness but could also discuss some nutrition topics, my staff member suggested he couldn’t really talk much of nutrition. As such it would be ideal to have a second call but with a nutritionist. Overall, a great product and very easy to use process. A little slow on the delivery and processing the sample (but in line with what was advertised) but worth the wait.
Fantastic, I was a little dubious at first and wasn't sure if it would be worth it but it most definitely was. I never come on here to lave positive reviews but this is a first! Great service, clear, concise and incredibly useful, I've learned a lot about my body that I was unaware of before, it's going to allow me to make some changes to my lifestyle which will have a hugely positive effect. Thank you to Thomas Lancashire who I had a consulting session with, helped me understand it even deeper. A great product. Great staff, Great service. Cheers All
There is a lot of information to take in and having the personal consultation explained a lot of things clearly and was extremely helpful. Looking forward to making it work for me.
I stumbled upon DNAFit listening to Bulletproof Radio. I have been nothing but impressed with the service. After I submitted my 23andMe data, I got some valuable feedback on my DNA as it relates to nutrition and exercise. For example, I learned what vitamins and supplements I need to take according to my DNA profile. I also learned that my body is not as sensitive to carbs as i thought it was. This is info that I didn't get from 23andMe. But not only that, I got a follow-up call to schedule a one-on-one fitness and nutrition consultation. Amazing personal service. I have recommended DNAFit to so many people.
Surprisingly good probiotic information- they recommend specific probiotic species which alone makes it worth the $.
The results of my test have helped me adjust my diet very easily and I'm already feeling the benefits and losing body fat. I've just had my call with a DNA Fit Fitness Consultant and he was incredibly helpful and has given me some action points to work on as I work towards my next fitness challenge.
Insightful analysis regarding my health DNA and concrete steps, follow ups and discussion to help me navigate my path to better health and fitness.
Great service
DNAFit gives you an amazing and unique insight into how your genes allow your body to go about day to day life. The process is simple to do where you receive your kit, and have to take the swab of DNA in a fasted state (preferably in the morning), and send that off to their labs (free postage for the kits would have been nice but not a big deal). It takes 10 working days after that to receive the report. I opted for the DNAfit Pro 360. The report was incredibly detailed and explained so many things that I didn't even know were at play, for example I suffer from bad shoulder ache and it turns out that I have a higher propensity to soft tissue injury i.e. shoulders, knees and ankles, which are all pain points for me! On top of the detailed and comprehensive reports, you receive a complimentary phone call from a Nutritionist and a Sports Scientist to go through the respective reports with you and give you a chance to ask questions. This is another reason why the reports are so informative, because you have the opportunity to have them explained by someone in the field and they then give you recommendations based on your genes. The Nutrition report was also good in showing what vitamins I may be short of as a result of my gene profile and how I could mitigate that. The added extras such as the Meal planner and the Elevate Exercise program give you good guidance on how you should use the information in the reports to improve your workout and eating style and has good features such as syncing in with your Fitbit. Lastly every time I have had a little niggle or an issue, all it took was an email to the DNAfit customer service team and I was assisted right away, so no issues there. All in all I have found the experience of DNAFit good and the information very insightful. Would highly recommend.
Was such a good service and the reports really easy to read. Would recommend.
Very helpful
A lot of information. Take advantage of free consultation with nutritionist- she was very helpful breaking all the data down to useful tips. Let’s see if it helps with weight loss...
Amazingly accurate. After uploading it the results come through quite quickly. I uploaded my ancestry dna to dnafit. It is spot on with the nutrition and diet. The high and low indicators for health and fitness are very accurate. This is followed up with a dietician and fitness consultation over the phone. Both are tailored to your results strengths. So far so good. Definitely recommend both for health and fitness.
Interesting to read the results of my DNAFit test. Good guidelines provided for nutrition and training. Excellent phone consultation providing more detailed training advice which I will start putting into practice tomorrow. Hoping that it will help with ongoing injury problems so that I can begin to enjoy my cycling again.
Ordered the DNAFit at the begining of the year and within a short time it arrived with kit to submit a swab test. Within a couple of weeks I recieved a detailed report from the genetic analysis into my diet and fitness. The diet was broken down into Carbohydrate and Fat Sensitivity, detoxification ability, anti-oxidant need, Omega -3 Need, Vitamin B & D Requirments, Salt, Alcohol & Caffeine Sensitivity, Lactose Intolerance & Coeliac Predisposition. The fitness report gave breakdown into my Power/Endurance profile, detailing Aerobic Potential, Recovery, & Injury Risk, Both reports were detailed in understanding genetics and how you can make the right choices in exercise and diet. This was followed up with emails and 30 minute consultation on each of the reports. I found DNAFit, very professional and gave excellent follow-up service. They also have an excellent app offering lots of information on diet & exercise.
I was a little sceptical about the cost of doing the DNAFit test and of how much value it would be. All I can say is that I am amazed at the professional high quality of the very extensive report that you receive back, and the online help, guidance and links to further information that you get. On top of that you get a half hour phone call to discuss any part of the report you want. I maybe didn't learn a huge amount that was totally new but it did help explain so many aspects to my fitness and health and has helped me adapt and rethink the future, with confidence. Definately worth doing, but be prepared for a lot of reading and thought, as some parts of the report are very in depth and confusing to someone new to the world of DNA and genetics. But great graphs and diagrams explain it in simple enough terms too.

Mar 07,2019So far my experience with DNA fit has been great. I received my kit for Christmas and received a timely response. I scheduled my call with a fitness contact to utilize my results from the DNA kit to get better results from my workouts. I have just started putting the results from my call on fitness together with the results of my DNA food results. Hope to utilize this information going forward to get the best results.
