Strength-led longevity studio pairing ARX training, VO2max, CGM, biomarkers, and SoLongevity consults
About
YDUN is a Milan strength-and-longevity studio built around a simple premise: strength is one of the most measurable levers for healthspan. Founder Christian Blomberg opened the Via Palazzo Reale flagship in 2025 after a multi-million-euro pre-seed round led by Limestone Capital. Members start with a paid assessment, then train in short, supervised sessions on adaptive-resistance and measurement-driven equipment. The longevity tier adds blood biomarkers, CGM, resting metabolism, and a doctor consult through SoLongevity.
What to Know
Signature approach
The model starts with measurement, then turns the data into strength work. Entry assessments cover body composition and strength; higher tiers add VO2max, the Ydun Core 40-biomarker panel, a 15-day CGM, resting metabolism, nutrition support, and a SoLongevity doctor consult. Training runs through ARX adaptive resistance, InBody, VALD, Cosmed, Carol, Wattbike, and related systems so progress is logged instead of guessed.
What sets them apart
- Strength-first longevity frame. YDUN treats resistance training as the core healthspan intervention, then surrounds it with diagnostics, recovery, and clinical review.
- Assessment-gated membership. Members do not start with an open gym floor; the baseline decides the training plan and which longevity inputs belong in the program.
- Clinical and performance bench. Cardiologist Nicola Triglione, MD advises on longevity medicine, while Finn-Tore Camacho Bjørnsand, PT, MSc leads performance and physiology.
- Flagship discipline. The 240 m² Milan studio is capped around 150 members, which keeps the model closer to a coached protocol than a mass gym.
Before You Book
- Tour, then assessment. Start with the studio-tour booking flow, then expect a paid assessment before membership begins.
- Ask for the tier fit. Strength, Strength + Performance, and Longevity assessments include different diagnostics; confirm whether you need VO2max, CGM, blood biomarkers, or the SoLongevity consult.
- Membership pricing. Public pages name Strength, Performance, Longevity+, and Flex memberships, but final euros are quoted privately after the tour.
- Single open studio. Milan is the working flagship; London Marylebone is announced as coming soon without a specific opening date.

Pricing
In practiceAdd-ons, payment details, and coverage limits.
YDUN is quote-based after the studio tour. The financial commitment starts with a paid assessment, then moves into one of the membership tiers: Strength, Performance, Longevity+, or Flex. The assessment tier matters because it determines what is included: body composition and strength baseline at entry, VO2max at the performance level, and the Omega panel, Ydun Core 40-biomarker blood test, resting metabolism, 15-day CGM, nutritionist support, and SoLongevity doctor consult at the longevity level. Plan on private-pay billing in euros. Blood work can route through a member's own insurance or lab if it meets YDUN's marker requirements, but the studio does not bill insurance directly.
Care model
Ongoing MembershipOne-Time Assessment
Insurance: Self Pay · HSA/FSA: Not Eligible
US HSA/FSA accounts do not apply to a private Italian studio. Italy's SSN public system does not cover this kind of premium strength, diagnostics, and longevity-membership program, so members should budget in euros as private pay.
Frequently asked questions
Is YDUN a gym or a clinic?
It sits between the two. The daily experience is supervised strength training, but entry is assessment-gated and the Longevity tier adds blood biomarkers, CGM, resting metabolism, and a doctor consult through SoLongevity.
Do I need an assessment before joining?
Yes. YDUN requires a paid assessment before membership. The entry level covers body composition and strength; higher tiers add VO2max, bloodwork, CGM, nutrition support, and physician review.
How does YDUN pricing work?
Pricing is quote-based after a studio tour and assessment recommendation. The public materials name the assessment and membership tiers, but final euro pricing is shared privately.
Can I use insurance?
YDUN does not bill insurance directly. Bloodwork can route through a member's own insurance or lab if it meets YDUN's marker requirements, but the overall membership should be treated as private pay.
Is London open yet?
Not yet. YDUN lists London Marylebone as coming soon, while Milan Duomo is the only operational studio in the current directory data.
