Training hard is the easy part. Every serious athlete already knows how to push — what separates the ones who keep progressing from the ones who plateau, get injured, or burn out is almost always the same thing: how well the body recovers between sessions.
At Maddog Performance Institute, our fighters, powerlifters and everyday members put their bodies through real demands — MMA, BJJ, kickboxing, boxing, bootcamp, heavy strength work. That's exactly why we brought GENESIS™ into the building — a precision neuro-metabolic recovery programme developed by our own Sister Amanda Wren Kobus, Registered Nurse Practitioner and Head of Clinical Services, who also coaches strength and conditioning on our own training floor.
Recovery isn't the thing you do after training. It's the thing that decides how much more training you can handle.
Why Recovery Determines How Far You Can Push
Every hard session creates the same underlying problem at a cellular level — mitochondrial stress, inflammation, and a temporary dip in the energy systems your body needs to repair muscle, restore focus and prepare for the next session. Sleep and food help, but for athletes training at real intensity, that's often not enough to keep pace with the demand.
That gap — between how hard you're training and how well your body can actually recover from it — is where injuries creep in, where progress stalls, and where "just tired" quietly turns into something closer to burnout.
The Science Behind GENESIS™
GENESIS™ is built on four clinical pillars, and for athletes, each one maps directly onto something you already feel in training.
Cellular Restoration — high-dose NAD+ therapy to support ATP production and mitochondrial repair, the raw fuel behind training capacity and recovery speed.
Metabolic Intelligence looks at how efficiently your body uses energy and preserves lean muscle under load — relevant for anyone managing weight class, body composition or a demanding training block. Neurocognitive Optimisation targets the mental side of performance: focus, reaction time and stress resilience under pressure, whether that's in a fight, a competition lift, or a hard week at work on top of training. Precision Longevity ties it together with InBody body composition tracking and bloodwork, so your protocol is adjusted based on what's actually happening in your body — not guesswork.
Every protocol is prescribed by Dr. Deo Du Plessis and administered by Sister Wren Kobus, and every peptide protocol used is SAPHRA-aligned and doctor-assessed before it's added to your plan.
Built By Someone Who Trains Athletes Too
What makes GENESIS™ different at Maddog is that it wasn't designed in a clinic disconnected from a gym floor. Sister Wren Kobus is both a Registered Nurse Practitioner with over two decades of clinical experience — including military medicine, trauma care and pharmaceutical medicine with the likes of Pfizer, Novartis and Roche — and a competitive powerlifter and strength coach who trains Maddog's own athletes.
That combination matters. A protocol built by someone who understands both the clinical picture and the actual demands of training camp, fight week or a heavy squat cycle is a very different thing to a generic wellness menu.
Who This Is For
- Fighters and competitive athletes managing training load, weight cuts or fight camp recovery
- Powerlifters and strength athletes pushing through heavy training blocks
- Members training multiple sessions a week who feel recovery isn't keeping pace with output
- Anyone noticing training gains have plateaued despite consistent effort
You don't need to be chasing a title to benefit — GENESIS™ starts with a proper consultation and clinical assessment, and your protocol is built around what your body actually needs, not a fixed package.
Recover Like You Train — Properly
