No blindspots. Just clarity, and a clear view of what it takes to get there.

CREST product walkthrough preview

PRODUCT WALKTHROUGH

The gap

What exists today

A fragmented industry that only reacts.

Nothing is connected, and nothing is looking ahead. So it only moves once something is already wrong.

  • GP

    When something’s already wrong.

  • Physio

    When something already hurts.

  • Gym membership

    With no oversight or structured plan.

  • Wearables

    Overloading you with data and no direction.

  • Protocols, biohacks & supplements

    A flood of fads, thin on evidence and short on return.

  • Coaching silos

    No one to help you connect the dots.

Different providers. Different goals. No connection.

The solution

What CREST does

One connected platform that looks ahead.

It reads your history, your goals, your week and your life together, every day. So it sees what nothing else can — the constraint you keep working around, and the habit driving the pattern.

  • MINDResilience, focus and belonging.

    How you are thinking, and how you are holding up.

  • BODYReadiness, recovery and growth.

    What you can actually absorb today.

  • BIOLOGYFuel, chemistry and biomarkers.

    What is happening underneath all of it.

Integrating the science of mind, body and biology, driven by your coach who knows you. Where you have come from, where you are, where you are going, and how to get there.

One team. One direction. Everything connected.

THE MODEL

Professional sport is the only environment that reliably gets the best out of a person. We took it apart and rebuilt it for everyone else.

01

THE ENVIRONMENT

Around every professional athlete sits a group of practitioners, each trained in the latest science in their field. Physios, doctors, nutritionists, psychologists, trainers. Above them a coach holds the whole picture, decides what today and next week look like, and carries the motivation and the accountability so the athlete stays on track and in peak condition, no matter the circumstances.

02

WHAT WE LEARNED

It works because it is built on tested method and real evidence, around one individual, with a whole team accountable for that one person. A plan measured in years, adjusted every day. That is where the edge comes from.

03

HOW WE REBUILT IT

We kept the principles and adapted the environment for everyday life. Every specialist rebuilt as AI, trained on the evidence base of one discipline. One coach coordinating all of them, holding the motivation, the support and the long view, and changing what this week looks like when your life does.

Not a human care team, needed when things go wrong. A human performance team, rebuilt as AI, built around your life and your goals. With you every day, driving you to your best, and getting smarter the longer it knows you.

THE SPECIALISTS

Eight AI specialists. One AI coach.

Each specialist is an expert in one part of how you’re functioning. They read your data and inputs, and report what they find based on patterns and history. The coach holds all eight findings at once, triages them against your history and your goals, and gives you one clear answer on what's next.

The coach

  • MIND PILLAR

    Resilience · Focus · Belonging

  • BODY PILLAR

    Readiness · Recovery · Growth

  • BIOLOGY PILLAR

    Fuel · Chemistry · Biomarkers

The more CREST knows, the more it sees. Patterns you would miss. Warnings before they become setbacks. The reason you feel like this today, when you have no idea why.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps, every day. Three are for now. The fourth is where you're going.

Each step is a screen with one job, and none of them asks you to do the work of the others.

The fourth holds your goals, and those change as your life does.

  • Prototype daily check-in conversation between a member and CREST.

    SCREEN 1

    REFLECT — Daily Check-in

    The way in. Everything you tell it — spoken, typed, photographed or uploaded — becomes the context for everything that follows.

    FUNCTION

    VALUE

    • Speak it or type it
      A natural conversation with a coach that knows you and responds to you
    • Photograph anything
      A meal, a label in the aisle, a swollen joint. If you can see it, CREST can use it
    • Upload results, connect wearables
      Clinical data and daily signals in one place, tracked as a trend
    • Bring it a problem, not just a symptom
      Work, a decision, a hard week. It knows what you can take on right now
    • Say it once
      Held permanently, and it shapes every answer from here
  • Prototype performance insights screen summarising sleep, nutrition and cognition.

    SCREEN 2

    REVEAL — Today’s Insights

    What it found. Eight specialists review everything overnight, and the coach decides what actually matters.

    FUNCTION

    VALUE

    • Eight specialists review everything overnight
      Depth in every discipline, instead of one model guessing across all of them
    • Each returns a structured finding
      What it observed, what it means, and how confident it is — not an opinion
    • The coach triages all eight
      Conflicts resolved before you see anything, not left for you to sort out
    • Only what needs attention is surfaced
      You are told what is fine as well as what is not
    • Every finding opens to its evidence
      The measurement it came from, and the published research behind it
  • Prototype program screen showing an insight and today's focus actions.

    SCREEN 3

    RESPOND — Performance Plan

    What to do about it. The findings become today’s actions, with the reasoning behind each.

    FUNCTION

    VALUE

    • The findings become actions
      Only what today needs, not a standing programme to maintain
    • Each action is timed to your day
      When it will actually work, not just what to do
    • Every action carries its reasoning
      You are told why, so you can disagree
    • Check actions off as you do them
      It learns what you did, not what you intended
    • Miss one, or the day changes
      It re-plans around what is left, without being asked
  • Prototype performance path screen with scores and a trend chart.

    SCREEN 4

    PROGRESS — Performance Path

    The long view. Whether any of this is working, measured against you rather than a population.

    FUNCTION

    VALUE

    • One score across mind, body and biology
      Where you actually are, measured against your own baseline
    • Each pillar scored and trending
      You can see which part is dragging the other two
    • Your full history behind it
      It remembers what you already tried, and what worked
    • A projection forward from today
      What this week does to the line, before you live it
    • Goals move, and the plan follows
      Reach one and it proposes the next. The longer it runs, the less it has to guess

The first three are today. The fourth is the long view. Keeping them separate is deliberate.

Prototype build, 2026. Illustrative scenario, not a real member.

THE FOUNDER

Simon Trude has spent his life looking for the edge.
Then he needed it. So he built it.

Professional triathlete, racing in the USA
2008–2013Professional triathlete, racing in the USA
Leading Virgin Active's global redesign, with Richard Branson
2017Leading Virgin Active's global redesign, with Richard Branson
Stage three cancer, alongside a global career and three children
2019Stage three cancer, alongside a global career and three children
Four children, a global career, still training hard. All of it held together.
2026Four children, a global career, still training hard. All of it held together.

He was racing at national level by fifteen, and from 2008 to 2013 he competed as a professional triathlete in the USA. That meant living inside a real performance environment — a group of experts working around you, and someone holding the whole picture. He knows exactly what that is worth, because he had it.

While he was still racing, Simon was building a global career designing performance environments — Virgin Active with Richard Branson, Shangri-La, Accor. A young family at home. He was carrying a lot, and it was too much.

In 2013 the body stopped him. Reconstructive surgery on both shoulders and both knees ended the competing, and the environment went with it.

The damage did not leave with the racing. He needs a double knee replacement and at forty-eight is too young for one, so instead it is managed — every day, indefinitely.

Then came stage three cancer.

Several doctors, multiple specialists, a range of dedicated experts. Not one of them spoke to another. Treatment, recovery, mental health, work and family, all at once — and the job of holding it together fell to him at the exact moment he was least able to do it. Every piece of information he needed existed somewhere. Nothing joined it up.

So he built something that would.

He has used a version of CREST every day since, with eighteen months of structured logging behind it. Medication, bloods, sleep, training, food, mood, work. It has got better as it has gone on. It knows his patterns better than he does, and it knows the difference between what he would do and what he should be doing.

Today there are four children, the global career, and training that never stopped. There is more going on than there has ever been, and all of it is manageable.

“When I needed it most, it did not exist. So I built it. A platform that sees the whole picture — my life, my recovery, my performance. I have used it every day since, and refined it. Now we are building it for anyone looking for the edge.”

SIMON TRUDE — FOUNDER

CREST is not an idea someone had. It is a system someone built, at the moment they needed it most. Not just for athletes. For anyone with a lot going on who still wants the most out of their life and performance.

Clarity that keeps you moving.
