Why CGM is the Most Underused Tool in Elite Fitness [Until Now]
Unlocking the Glucose Code
What Every Coach Needs to Know About the Future of Training
When you think of elite fitness tools, your mind jumps to VO2 max testing, force plates, heart rate variability, or wearable sleep trackers. But one performance metric, one powerful tool, has been hiding in plain sight.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is no longer just for people with Diabetes. This unique tool provides a missing layer of insight, revealing how your body responds to food, training, stress, and recovery in real time, a feature not found in other elite fitness tools.
So why isn’t every athlete and coach using it?
Let’s discuss that gap and why BioFit is leading the charge to close it.
Traditional Fitness Programming Is Blind to Metabolic Reality
Most workout programs have static rules: eat this many carbs, rest this many minutes, and train at this percentage of max effort.
But here’s the problem:
Two people following the exact same training plan can have wildly different glucose responses, and only one will thrive.
The other might crash mid-workout, under-recover, or overtrain without realizing it.
This is where CGM changes the game.
CGMs track blood sugar levels continuously throughout the day, revealing how your metabolism adapts (or doesn’t) to:
Pre-workout fueling
Post-workout recovery
Sleep disruptions
Stressful meetings
Hormonal shifts
Fasting protocols
and everything in between
Yet, until now, trainers have not used or misunderstood this data without the tools to interpret it correctly.
CGMs Are Powerful, But Coaches Have Been Left Out
Right now, most CGM education is written for doctors, not coaches.
And the fitness industry? It’s just beginning to catch on.
You’ve probably seen athletes wearing Libre, Dexcom, or Stelo sensors on Instagram, but what are they doing with that data? Most don’t know.
They’re missing:
A system for interpreting trend arrows
A strategy for adjusting workouts based on fuel timing
A protocol for preventing glucose crashes mid-session
A framework for using data to motivate behavior change
BioFit was designed to bridge the gap in CGM education for coaches.
Our Mission: Bringing NASA-Level Precision to Fitness Coaching
As the founder of BioFit, I didn’t arrive here by accident. I’ve lived with Type 1 Diabetes for over 25 years. I’m also an engineer who spent years working with NASA and astronauts in space.
What did I realize?
We’re collecting more metabolic data than ever, but most people don’t know how to use it.
So, I built BioFit to change that.
Our mission at BioFit is to equip fitness professionals with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to use CGM data safely and ethically to improve their clients' performance, outcomes, and long-term health.
