DNA TESTING AT MEGABOX
TAKE YOUR HEALTH & FITNESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL…
We are excited to offer state-of-the-art DNA testing and reporting that provides fully personalised insights into your unique genetic makeup.
We have partnered with a British world-leading DNA science provider, allowing us to deliver a premium service and vital information for improving your fitness, health, and longevity.
WHY CHOOSE DNA TESTING?
DNA testing allows you to understand your body better than ever before.
By analysing your genetic information, we provide tailored recommendations based on your personal strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
The Science:
Some traits are inherited (genetic), and others are shaped by your environment. With insight into how diet, exercise, and lifestyle affect your genes, you can make positive changes and unlock your full potential.
“I went to see Tim & the team at MegaBox for him to carry out a DNA test & a detailed physical assessment. I had been suffering from recurring calf and ankle injuries for a period of 10 years. I had seen numerous physios and personal trainers, but was unable to find a long-term fix.
After receiving the DNA results Tim could advise me on how and when I train, on my diet and supplements, he also prepared an exercise regime to improve my overall strength and flexibility with what he found in the assessment – all of which has been incredibly effective. I now do these exercises daily, as a supplement to my running. I have now been injury free for 4 months and have set new 5-year PBs for my 1km, 5km and 10km runs.”

“Since 2023, I’ve been consistently training in small group personal training sessions three times a week, and while my progress was good, reviewing my food diary showed there was still room to improve my nutrition.
Earlier this year, I was the first member to complete the a DNA test when MegaBox introduced it into their offering, and it turned out to be a game changer. It confirmed that much of my training was on the right track while also highlighting where I could make meaningful improvements. With a clear goal of losing weight before my wedding, I made focused changes to my diet and achieved the goal far more easily than I expected. To date, I’ve lost 20 kg and have maintained it.
The difference in how I look and feel has been huge. I have more energy, far less joint and back discomfort, and I now get much more out of every training session. My strength, mobility, and flexibility have all improved, which feels increasingly important as I get older.
The DNA results gave me the motivation to fully commit to the nutrition advice I’d previously struggled to follow. I cut out sugar, desserts, and bread, reduced portion sizes, and started eating higher-quality meals. This has noticeably reduced inflammation, particularly in my joints and fingers, which used to constantly bother me.
I’ve also seen improvements in my blood pressure, heart rate response during training, and recovery after exercise. The combination of structured training and disciplined nutrition has had a genuinely life-changing impact, and I’m feeling better now than I have in years.”
