Testimonials

"I love the idea of the FitrCoach app because you need coaches to understand the different stages of the cycle; this subject should be mandatory for all sports coaches and fitness trainers of female athletes."

"I have learnt so much about how my hormones affect me… it’s about understanding what I can do to make sure that they [PMS symptoms] don’t negatively affect my training or games."

“Orreco provides me and my coach with customized strategies based on my own data so I can work with, and not against, my natural physiology. It's smarter training for better performance.”

"At this point in my career, you have to work more on the body. Orreco let me know what’s going on - like what you need to eat or what you need to stop eating. I want the feedback.”

"We had some simple biomarkers but Orreco has taken them to a whole new level…injury incidence is greatly reduced."

"Being an Olympic Bronze Medalist in 3k SC, 1988, and coach to world-class athletes, I know that training alone is not sufficient in the modern day to gain a competitive edge. That’s why we at OTCE, have enlisted the Orreco team, due to their increasing reputations as high-performance sports scientists, physiologists and sports haematologist providers. Their service enables us to limit the number of training days lost to overtraining, illness and infection. Although we are currently working on improving the testing protocols prior to altitude and heat preparation camps, the most exciting period lies ahead as the team prepare to launch a new portal that can generate real-time results and potentially predict performance. A tool any coach seeking an edge will want."

"FitrCoach is like nothing I've ever seen before... For teams or squads it's a really good way of managing different training groups and intensities to get the best out of female athletes, taking into account the menstrual cycle. It will help coaches individualize plans and let athletes recover when they need to and train hard on the right days."

“The FitrWoman app is an essential download for our players and all female athletes. We have heard anecdotal evidence for many years relating to the effects of the menstrual cycle on player training, performance and recovery. We are now delighted to officially endorse the FitrWoman app, which will provide our players with key tips and insights, while also providing further understanding around the challenges associated with the menstrual cycle.”

"I have been working with Orreco for the past 5 years. Brian and his team have made a significant contribution to our programme. With their expertise, we’re now able to predict when our athletes could get ill or injured through tiredness or over training. As a result we’re able to make changes to their training before any damage is done. You can’t put a price on how important it is to keep athletes injury free and performing at the highest level."

"High performance athletics is all about pushing the limits without reaching breaking point. Constant feedback from the athlete as well as proven scientific data is critical. Blood work and haematological feedback is essential to monitoring progress and performance and is a must in today’s athletic arena. It takes you backstage behind the human body to explain the reasons for success and provide solutions to problems."

"The routine blood tests and interpreted results provide me with crucial health markers, which allow me and the support team to see areas of improvements, and whether I am doing everything I can to maximize my recovery and therefore my performance potential. In the last few years it has helped me stay on top of illness, which I used to suffer severely from over the winter periods. This prevents me from missing vital training over these months."
