What Shapes
Athletic Performance?

Whether you’re training for competition, improving fitness, or striving for peak performance, understanding your biology can help remove guesswork from the process.

GTX Sport transforms advanced DNA and microbiome science into personalized insights that help athletes train smarter, recover better, and perform at their highest level.

The multi-omics edge
Explained

DNA tells us your potential. Microbiome tells us your current state. Together they reveal how to unlock performance today.

 

Whole Genome Sequencing

The Blueprint

WGS reads every single letter of your DNA — all 3 billion base pairs across 20,000+ genes. Most consumer DNA tests read only 0.02% of your genome via SNP chips. WGS reads 100%, giving us access to rare variants, structural changes and pharmacogenetic markers that drive elite performance.

The Microbiome

The Engine

Your gut hosts 38 trillion microbes — outnumbering your own cells. These bacteria directly control inflammation, recovery speed, lactate clearance, immunity, and even how your body responds to carbohydrates.

Why
Multi-Omics?

The Complete Performance Picture

Two athletes on the same diet can have wildly different performances purely because of microbiome differences. Genome + microbiome together create the 1 + 1 = 3 effect — insights neither test can give alone.
