Lucis becomes Title Partner of HYROX Toulouse

Lucis, a preventive health subscription platform, announces its title partnership with HYROX Toulouse. This collaboration establishes Lucis as the official preparation and recovery partner for HYROX athletes.

Going far beyond a standard health check-up, Lucis offers a comprehensive performance support approach through the analysis of more than 110 biomarkers, helping athletes optimize performance and accelerate recovery.

BIOMARKERS SERVING ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND

Once reserved primarily for clinical diagnosis, blood biomarker analysis is now widely used by elite athletes to optimize training and recovery. Recent research in sports science highlights the value of regularly monitoring:

• Inflammation markers (CRP, IL-6): key indicators of training load and injury risk

• Muscle damage markers (creatine kinase, myoglobin): to fine-tune intensity and recovery periods

• Hormonal balance (testosterone, cortisol): reflecting recovery capacity

• Nutritional status (iron, ferritin, vitamins B and D): essential for energy production and performance

THE LUCIS APPROACH FOR ATHLETES

Lucis analyzes these key biomarkers and translates the results into actionable recommendations: nutritional adjustments, sleep optimization, inflammation management, and injury prevention strategies. Each athlete receives a personalized action plan tailored to their sport and training volume.

PERFORMANCE SUPPORT PROGRAM: 15 HYROX ATHLETES

To mark the launch of this partnership, Lucis is supporting around fifteen elite HYROX athletes in their preparation. The program includes:

• An initial comprehensive assessment: analysis of 110+ biomarkers (blood, urine, saliva)

• A six-month follow-up: a second full assessment to measure progress and the impact of implemented adjustments

• A personalized action plan: tailored recommendations covering nutrition, recovery, and injury prevention

Among the supported athletes: Quentin and Mevena Pingliez (2025 Mixed Doubles World Champions), Joffrey Voisin, Anne-K Charpentier, Jezabel Kremer, and several other leading competitors.

LAUNCH AT HYROX PARIS

The partnership officially launched at the HYROX offices in Paris on February 10. Bilal Bourazza and Anne-Caroline Charpentier were among the first to complete their initial Lucis blood assessments.

In total, Lucis is supporting 13 HYROX athletes over a one-year cycle, with two comprehensive assessments conducted throughout the year.

« I’ve done blood tests before, but they were more basic and far less detailed, with significantly fewer markers tested. What I was looking for was a complete overview. The goal is to have an overview of potential optimizations, especially the small details that I can correct. For an athlete, being able to track biomarkers over time is invaluable: for performance, for recovery, and for better understanding how to take care of your body in the long run. I would broadly recommend it to everyone - not only to optimize performance, but also to improve everyday well-being. »

Bilal Bourazza, HYROX Athlete

« The Lucis assessment includes 110 biomarkers - that’s huge.
It’s far more advanced than a standard check-up you might request from your general practitioner. When done as part of a preventive approach, it provides much clearer visibility into your biomarkers and helps avoid overtraining. I’m looking forward to seeing whether my data has improved, and whether the efforts I’ve been putting in are truly paying off. »

Anne-Caroline Charpentier, HYROX Athlete

« We are delighted to support these athletes in their preparation for HYROX Toulouse. Our mission is to give everyone the tools to understand their body and optimize their health. For athletes who push their bodies to the limit, that understanding becomes a major competitive advantage. »

Maxime Berthelot, CEO and Co-Founder, Lucis

Lucis will be present at HYROX Toulouse with a dedicated recovery booth. Participants will be able to discover the Lucis approach and understand how biomarker analysis can help enhance both performance and recovery.
