Sam Luckley Hull KR

MN Elite Performance is one of a kind.

So much scientific detail was used to enhance my performance. The improvements were noticeable instantly in my sprint speed, jumping and muscular strength. They also helped clear up a recurring tendon problem within the first session! Quality facility, quality people and quality sessions.

Achieve Peak Performance

Our Four-Pillar Approach — Training Backed by Science & Research

01 - Profiling

Each athlete undergoes The DNA Athletic Blueprint Profiling, which uses advanced VALD Performance Technology to identify strengths, weaknesses, and growth potential. This comprehensive assessment maps your unique athletic profile, providing a clear picture of where you stand and what areas need focus for optimal performance.

02 - Training

Using the data gathered from your DNA Athletic Blueprint Profiling, our team of expert coaches designs a tailored training programme that addresses your specific needs. This is where we implement our proven DNA Training Methodology, creating a path for growth that targets your strengths and works on areas for improvement.

Four Pillar Approach - Training
Four Pillar Approach - Evaluation

03 - Evaluation

After 6–8 weeks of consistent training, every athlete undergoes a follow-up assessment with The DNA Athletic Blueprint. This allows our team to measure progress, re-evaluate your development, and ensure you’re on track toward your goals.

04 - Performance

The final pillar, Performance, brings everything together. By combining insights from Profiling, Training, and Evaluation, athletes are equipped with the tools and strategies to reach their full potential. This pillar drives continuous improvement, helping you achieve measurable, sustained gains in athletic performance.
