About Fitness Test Lab
Evidence-based home fitness guidance from someone who understands optimization.
I'm Mario Guerra, a product engineer and founder of IgnitionAI, an AI and automation consulting business. My background in data-driven optimization informs how I approach fitness—cutting through marketing hype to find what actually delivers results.
Fitness Test Lab provides hands-on equipment reviews and evidence-based training advice. I test gear in real-world conditions and base recommendations on scientific research, not trends. Whether you're building a home gym or optimizing your training, I focus on practical solutions that work.
