As a doctor working closely with endurance athletes, I saw how many struggled to get the medical paperwork required to compete abroad. They’d spend weeks trying to book GP appointments, pay high fees, or risk missing deadlines because of delays.
That’s why I started Fit Certify in 2023 — to make sports medical certification simple, affordable, and globally accessible for every athlete.
Since then, we’ve built an international network of licensed sports medicine doctors who understand the medical standards required for major cycling, running, and triathlon events across Europe and beyond. From L’Étape du Tour and the Tuscany Trail to UTMB and Gran Fondos, our mission is to help you compete safely, confidently, and without stress.
Today, Fit Certify has supported over 10,000 athletes across 50+ countries, providing reliable medical certificates that meet the exact requirements set by race organisers.
What began as a small idea has grown into a trusted global service built on integrity, efficiency, and athlete-first care. If you ever need help or advice, our medical team is always available — simply email hello@fitcertify.com and we’ll make sure you reach the start line with confidence.

We’re a dedicated network of sports medical doctors who share one mission — to help athletes compete safely, confidently, and without stress.
Our clinicians bring together decades of experience in sports and exercise medicine and event medical support, having worked with endurance athletes across cycling, running, triathlons and more.
Based across the UK, USA, and Europe, our doctors follow Fit Certify’s unified clinical standards to ensure every certificate is accurate, professional, and accepted by race organisers worldwide.
Each doctor undergoes verification of medical licensing, professional background, and experience in sports medicine before joining our network. This ensures every certificate issued through Fit Certify reflects the same high level of clinical integrity, accuracy, and athlete-focused care — wherever you are in the world.
At Fit Certify, we make it effortless for you to get the official sports medical certificate you need for your sports event — 100% online and reviewed by expert doctors.
We help cyclists, runners, triathletes, hobbyists and others get doctor-signed certificates recognised by race organisers across Europe and beyond. Whether you’re training for the Tuscany Trail, L’Étape du Tour, or an Ironman, our hassle-free process means you’ll receive your verified medical certificate in just hours.
Our platform connects you directly with a qualified sports medical doctor who reviews your health questionnaire, considers your medical history, and issues a certificate that meets the specific format, wording, and language required by your event.
From Strade Bianche and the Chianti Ultra Trail to local triathlons and Gran Fondos, athletes around the world have trusted Fit Certify to handle their medical certification quickly, accurately, and stress-free. Here’s what others have to say about us:
“I needed a medical certificate to enter L’Etape. I approached my GP, who refused. In the end, someone recommended I try Fit Certify. Within a couple of hours the certificate was returned to me in exactly the format that the race organiser wanted.”
“I used Fit Certify for an event in France. They were just brilliant, so friendly and took the whole stress of the situation away. I would highly recommend.”
A doctor-founded platform that’s grown from a single idea in 2023 to a global network supporting athletes across 50+ countries
Fit Certify is started with a mission to make sports medical certification quick, simple, and globally accessible. The platform begins helping cyclists and runners obtain official medical certificates for major European events like L’Étape du Tour, UTMB and the Tuscany Trail.
Within the first year of launch, Fit Certify reaches its first major milestone — issuing official sports medical certificates for over 30 major cycling, running and triathlon events.
Fit Certify expands its global network of licensed medical doctors, extending coverage across the UK, USA, and Europe. Every clinician is vetted for experience in sports and exercise medicine, ensuring consistent, professional standards worldwide.
Fit Certify launches additional certificate types — including triathlon, trail-running, and “Fit to Play” certificates for clubs and training camps. This marks a key step in supporting athletes of all levels, from amateurs to elite competitors.
Fit Certify’s certificates are widely accepted by leading endurance organisers, including races under the UTMB World Series, Strade Bianche, L'Etape, Tuscany Trail, Transgrancanaria and Maratona events. The brand earns a reputation for speed, accuracy, and compliance with local medical formats in France and Italy.
Fit Certify introduces an upgraded digital platform with faster turnaround, enhanced mobile usability, and streamlined verification for instant authenticity. These improvements make obtaining a sports medical certificate easier than ever.
Our sports medical certificates are recognised by leading cycling, running, triathlon, and endurance events across Europe and worldwide.
Unlike traditional clinics or GP appointments, Fit Certify is built around the athlete. We understand that when you’re training for a major event, every hour matters — and chasing paperwork shouldn’t stand between you and the start line.
Our approach combines medical integrity, digital efficiency, and real human care, ensuring every certificate is handled with the same attention and professionalism you’d expect from an in-person consultation.
