The Performance+ package gives you our most comprehensive diagnostic picture available, comprising of three elements: a 63 biomarker blood test, 14-day CGM, and key physical measurements (BP, SpO₂, grip strength, and heart rate) designed to objectively measure what that post-training “feeling” really reflects, all in a single snapshot.
Designed for athletes and health-focused individuals involved in Hyrox, combat sports, football, rugby, and other high-intensity disciplines.
There’s often a big gap between how much athletes invest in training and how much insight they have into what’s happening inside their body. Athletes track training, nutrition, and recovery in detail, yet blood markers can provide equally vital insight into both immediate performance and longer-term health.
Blood is the body's internal report. It documents your hormone status, inflammation load, recovery capacity, metabolic efficiency, and nutritional reserves. It doesn't lie, it doesn't round up, and it doesn't tell you what you want to hear. It tells you what's true.
The Performance+ package was built for athletes and performance-driven individuals who want all of it — the full picture, not a partial view.
What's Inside Performance+
Ultimate Athlete Performance with PSA — 63 biomarkers
This is the flagship blood panel from London Medical Laboratory, processed at clinical-grade standard. Sixty-three biomarkers tested in a single draw. The panel is designed to cover the key physiological systems that matter most in high-performance sport:
Hormones: including total and free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, prolactin, and oestradiol — help shape the hormonal environment that influences recovery, energy availability, muscle repair, and overall performance. These are not numbers to guess at; they provide valuable context for how the body is responding over time.
Recovery and muscle markers: creatine kinase (CK), cortisol, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) — help show how much stress training is placing on the body, how much muscle damage or inflammation may be present, and whether recovery is keeping pace with workload.
Inflammation: CRP and ESR. Chronic low-grade inflammation can blunt adaptation and affect long-term health. In practice, athletes with an elevated inflammatory burden often just feel persistently tired or run down, and it can easily be mistaken for poor sleep alone.
Haematology: a full blood count covering haemoglobin, haematocrit, red cell indices, white cell differential, and platelet count. In athletes, it helps identify issues that can directly affect stamina, recovery between sessions, illness resilience, and overall training tolerance.
Metabolic: HbA1c, fasting glucose, full lipid panel, liver enzymes, kidney function, and electrolytes. For athletes, this helps assess energy availability, fuel handling, recovery capacity, and how well the body is coping with repeated training stress. It is also particularly important during weight cuts, where changes in hydration, electrolyte balance, and organ strain can affect both performance and safety. For long-term health, it can highlight early signs of metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular risk, or organ strain before they become bigger problems.
Thyroid: TSH, T4, T3 and TPO. Thyroid function helps regulate metabolism, energy availability, and recovery. In athletes, suboptimal levels can contribute to fatigue, poor training output, changes in body composition, and slower cardiovascular recovery after hard sessions.
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA): for male athletes over 30, an annual PSA baseline is a simple but high-value preventative measure that provides an important reference point for long-term health monitoring.
Three working days. One blood draw. Sixty-three answers.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring — 14-day sensor
A single fasting glucose reading tells you one number at one moment. Our 14-day CGM sensor gives you over 2000 data points over 14 days. Continuous glucose data reveals how your body responds to specific foods, training sessions, stress, and sleep patterns in real time, across two weeks. You'll see your post-meal glucose curves, your overnight stability, your pre-training glycaemic state, and how quickly your glucose returns to baseline after different meals.
For athletes, this data is immediately actionable. You'll know which pre-workout meals spike your glucose and crash your energy mid-session. You'll see whether your overnight glucose is stable or disrupted. You'll know if your carbohydrate intake is working for you or against you.
General Health Assessment
Blood pressure, resting heart rate, SpO₂ and grip strength are four basic physical markers important for long term health. The GHA provides a practical cardiovascular and physical baseline that can be reviewed alongside blood results, helping identify signs of elevated cardiovascular risk, poor functional status, reduced oxygen saturation or trends that may warrant further review. Over time, this can support earlier detection of health changes and provide a useful reference point for general health monitoring.
Why This Combination Matters
The value of Performance+ is not just in the volume of data, but in how the markers are interpreted together. When blood results and CGM data are viewed side by side, they can give a more complete picture of metabolic stress, glucose control, and recovery patterns than either measure alone.
For example, elevated cortisol alongside persistent overnight glucose elevation may suggest a stress-related disruption in glucose regulation, while testosterone results are easier to interpret when considered with SHBG and related markers that affect hormone availability. This is not a checklist — it is a system for understanding how the body is functioning as a whole and where the main pressure points may be.
How Our Testing Compares with NHS Testing
Compared with standard NHS testing, this panel is much more detailed and performance-focused, covering a broader range of markers across hormones, thyroid function, inflammation, iron status, vitamin status, liver and kidney function, and cardiovascular risk. Rather than giving a limited snapshot, it provides a deeper picture of how the body is functioning overall, which can help identify issues earlier and give a better understanding of both short-term performance and long-term health. It is then reviewed by a private doctor in Battersea, London, so the results are interpreted in a more individual and context-specific way than a routine basic screen.
The Value Proposition
The components of Performance+ purchased individually come to £400+ at standard laboratory rates. At 29 Performance, our package is priced at £320, saving you 20% on the combined standard cost.
Save 20% while eliminating the hassle of booking multiple providers—Performance+ brings everything into one streamlined test, making it easier to integrate your results and turn them into clear, actionable insights.
For athletes, the value is even greater. When the body is being pushed hard through training, travel, weight cuts, and repeated competition blocks, long-term health markers matter just as much as short-term performance data. They can help identify risk earlier, reduce the likelihood of avoidable injury or prolonged fatigue, support better recovery, and could extend an athlete’s time at the elite level. More importantly, this information becomes a basis for action — informing changes to training load, recovery days, nutrition, travel planning, and camp structure both inside and outside of camp.
Who Performance+ Is For
Athletes in structured training — whether competitive sport, strength and conditioning, endurance, or high-intensity training — who take their performance seriously and want the diagnostic infrastructure to match.
Individuals who already track their nutrition, monitor their recovery, and make data-led decisions about their training, and who are ready to extend that approach to the most important dataset they have.
