Evidence-based performance, built around you.

How we work

The Playbook

A structured, six-step process that turns your goals into a clear, personal plan.

1

Performance Interview

Needs analysis: performance goals, training load and work demands, injury, medical and dietary history, and primary limiting factors. The basis of every intervention.

2

Baseline Testing

DEXA body composition, blood biomarkers, energy availability, dietary analysis and recovery markers. A measured baseline, not assumptions.

3

Review and Quantify

We interpret your results against your goals, identify the gaps and priorities, and set clear, measurable targets so progress can be tracked.

4

Design Your Performance Ecosystem

We map each performance determinant: nutrition, recovery, training load, work and travel, and integrate them into one coordinated system.

5

Programme Creation

An individualised, periodised programme built from your data, with fuelling, training and recovery prescriptions set as clear daily targets.

6

Implement and Refine

Scheduled reviews, retesting and KPI tracking drive iterative adjustments as your season, load and goals evolve.

Questions

Straight answers

Is Tenax only for professional athletes?

No. Elite athletes, executives, developing athletes and individuals all get the same professional standard. The approach is the same for everyone. The plan changes to fit your goals, your schedule and what your week demands.

How does it work?

It starts with testing, not guesswork. We measure what matters for your performance, and that data shapes the support we build around you. Regular reviews and retesting then keep it moving, so the support changes as you do. Support is delivered online, with the option of in person.

How do you keep me accountable?

Accountability is built into the process, not left to willpower. You get clear daily targets and daily communication with us, so you're never working alone. Regular reviews and retesting show exactly where you stand. If something isn't moving, we find out why and adjust, rather than letting it drift.

What makes this different from plans I've tried before?

Most plans fail because they were written for an ideal week, not yours. Ours starts with your real schedule, training load, work and travel, then gets reviewed and adjusted as things change. It is built to hold up in the busy weeks, which is when you need it most.

Can you work with the performance setup I already have?

Yes. We integrate into your existing performance ecosystem instead of replacing it, working alongside your coaches, medical staff and the people already around you. Everything is coordinated around your goals, so you get one joined-up approach instead of competing advice.

Can I get complete performance support?

Yes. You can start with nutrition or strength and conditioning, or have both from the start. When you do both, we plan them together as one coordinated system.

What happens when I request a callback?

We call you and love hearing about your journey: your sport or work and what you want to change. Then we tell you where we'd start and what it involves. There is nothing to prepare, and your details are only used to get back to you.
