Tracks the biomarkers that matter most for athletic performance — muscle recovery, iron status, hormones, and key nutrients. The Fitness & Performance Panel is built for athletes and active individuals who want to optimize their training with lab data. CMP and CBC monitor organ function and blood health. Creatine Kinase tracks muscle damage and recovery. Magnesium supports muscle function and energy production. The Iron Panel detects deficiency that limits endurance. Testosterone and Cortisol reveal the anabolic-catabolic balance. Vitamin D supports bone health and athletic performance. Together, these markers help you train smarter and recover faster. **Clinical use:** Athletic performance + recovery monitoring: CBC, CMP, Iron Panel (Iron/TIBC/Ferritin), Testosterone, Cortisol AM, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Creatine Kinase. Identifies overtraining, iron and nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal dysregulation. ## Who should order it? Endurance athletes (runners, cyclists, triathletes), strength athletes monitoring recovery, anyone training >8 hours/week, athletes evaluating plateaus or unexplained fatigue, anyone considering or adjusting a training program. ## Tests included | Test | Biomarkers | Standalone price | CPT | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Comprehensive Metabolic Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) | 14 (Glucose, BUN, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, …) | $22.99 | 80053 | | [CBC with Differential](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cbc-with-differential) | 14 (WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, …) | $21.99 | 85025 | | [Creatine Kinase (CK)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/creatine-kinase-test) | 1 (Creatine Kinase (CK)) | $18.99 | 82550 | | [Magnesium](https://www.test-well.com/tests/magnesium) | 1 (Magnesium) | $19.99 | 83735 | | [Iron Panel (Iron, TIBC & Ferritin)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/iron-panel-complete) | 4 (Iron, TIBC, Iron Saturation %, Ferritin) | $32.99 | 83540, 83550, 82728 | | [Testosterone, Total](https://www.test-well.com/tests/testosterone-total) | 1 (Total Testosterone) | $33.99 | 84403 | | [Cortisol (AM)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cortisol-am) | 1 (Cortisol) | $26.99 | 82533 | | [Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy](https://www.test-well.com/tests/vitamin-d) | 1 (25-Hydroxy Vitamin D) | $41.99 | 82306 | ## Price by lab | Lab | Panel price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $119.99 | $125.99 | Choose at checkout | | Labcorp | $119.99 | $125.99 | Choose at checkout | ## How much does a Fitness & Performance Panel cost?

Fasting for 10–12 hours recommended. Avoid intense exercise for 48 hours before testing. Morning draw before 10 AM preferred. Water is okay. ## Related conditions - Overtraining syndrome (F43.9) - [Iron deficiency in athletes](https://www.test-well.com/conditions/anemia) (D50.9) - [Functional hypogonadism](https://www.test-well.com/conditions/low-testosterone) (E29.1) - Vitamin D deficiency (E55.9) ## Common questions about the Fitness & Performance Panel ### What's included in the Fitness Performance Panel? [CBC](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cbc-with-differential) (recovery + anemia), [CMP](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) (organ stress from training), [Iron Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/iron-panel-complete) (iron, TIBC + ferritin — critical for endurance), [Testosterone Total](https://www.test-well.com/tests/testosterone-total) (recovery hormone), [Cortisol AM](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cortisol-am) (stress hormone), [Vitamin D](https://www.test-well.com/tests/vitamin-d), Magnesium, and [Creatine Kinase](https://www.test-well.com/tests/creatine-kinase-test) (muscle damage marker). About 25 individual biomarkers. ### What labs do endurance athletes most commonly have problems with? Iron deficiency (especially female athletes — [Ferritin](https://www.test-well.com/tests/ferritin) <50 ng/mL impairs performance), [Vitamin D](https://www.test-well.com/tests/vitamin-d) deficiency, [Testosterone](https://www.test-well.com/tests/testosterone-total) suppression (functional hypogonadism from chronic overtraining), and elevated [cortisol](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cortisol-pm) with low T (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, REDs). ### Why measure cortisol and testosterone together for athletes? Testosterone/cortisol ratio is a classic marker of anabolic vs catabolic state. Chronically elevated cortisol with suppressed testosterone is the signature of overtraining and inadequate recovery. A T/C ratio falling >30% from baseline is a strong overtraining signal. ### How is this different from the Men's or Women's Health Panel? Men's/Women's Health Panels are annual checkups. Fitness Panel adds athlete-specific markers: cortisol (recovery), creatine kinase (muscle damage), magnesium (cramps + performance), and a full iron panel (endurance-critical iron status). For athletes, this panel is more diagnostically useful than the standard annual. ### How much does the Fitness Performance Panel cost without insurance? On TestWell, the Fitness Performance Panel is $119.99. Ordering the same tests separately would be about $180. Quest Direct lists comparable bundles at $285, walk-in hospital labs typically bill $700-1000 for the same biomarkers without insurance. ### Do I need to fast and rest before testing? Yes — 9-12 hour fast (water only). Also avoid intense exercise for 48 hours before the draw — recent training spikes CK (creatine kinase) and cortisol, making results uninterpretable. Test during a recovery week or rest day for the cleanest baseline. ### How often should athletes retest? Every 3-6 months during active training cycles. Quarterly is ideal for serious athletes — catches overtraining and nutritional drift before performance declines. Test more frequently (every 6-8 weeks) when correcting an identified deficiency. ## How to order 1.
