The night that changed fitness: How Suiffland and MiróLab are writing the future

Any great project begins with a spark
On a night of conversations during Fitex 2024, that spark ignited an idea that today is transforming the fitness sector. What started as a simple desire—to create a showroom for Suiffland in Barcelona—became something far more ambitious when Salvador Cereceda asked a question that would change everything:
"What if we create a fitness laboratory that is pioneering the world?"
Today, that question is a tangible reality. MiróLab, Barcelona's first functional health and longevity laboratory, officially opened its doors on 2 March 2026 at CEM Joan Miró, bringing together Suiffland's advanced technology with a humanistic vision that transcends traditional fitness.
From an idea to a commitment to fitness
MiróLab is not merely another project; it represents a personal commitment to professionalise the sector through science, data and, above all, heart.
The initial team, consisting of Cristian Ramajo Serra, Carla Plana, Nacho Puig, Bernat Hosta and Lorena Marcaida, provided the energy needed to launch this venture. Subsequently, other professionals joined who have made this ambitious vision possible.
Barcelona, a city pioneering in sport, health and innovation, was the perfect setting. It was not a conventional gym nor a medical centre: it would be something entirely different.
Assess to personalise: A comprehensive 360-Degree approach
The MiróLab project is broad and ambitious. Work is already underway on a longitudinal study based on a clear conviction: comprehensive client assessment is the foundation for personalised prescription that truly works.
Yet measuring only what is visible is insufficient. MiróLab's approach is to understand the whole person: in 360 degrees.
Reducing the body to muscles ignores 99% of the story. We are a complex system where metabolism dialogues with stress, where the autonomic nervous system plays with our emotions, where cognition impacts performance. To truly prescribe health, you need to see the whole picture.
This comprehensive approach enables the design of training, nutrition and nervous system regulation plans that truly adapt to individual needs, considering factors that traditionally go unnoticed in conventional assessments.
Over 450 Biomarkers
Today, MiróLab's dream is a tangible reality. In its first cross-sectional study, the team collected over 450 biomarkers in just one hour. This is no ordinary number; it is an amount of information that allows for an unprecedented and comprehensive understanding of each person's health status and performance.
These biomarkers include data on metabolism, autonomic nervous system function, cortisol and stress levels, blood glucose, oxygen consumption capacity, and flexibility and functional capacity.
With this amount of information, the MiróLab team can identify patterns, risks and opportunities that were previously undetectable.
Transforming data into life: The magic of interpretation
The true challenge is not merely gathering data—any machine can do that today. The challenge is interpreting the language hidden within those numbers to transform lives.
Here is where MiróLab's practical experience and Suiffland's technological DNA combine in a unique way to offer real, measurable solutions. Data enables identification of unique patterns in each individual, personalised interventions in training, nutrition and nervous system regulation are designed, continuous monitoring ensures you are on the right path, and results improve: health, performance, overall wellbeing.
Suiffland integrates personalised prescription into its technology, automating adaptation of each training session according to the user's actual status. MiróLab provides the scientific assessment that underpins it. Together, they form a complete ecosystem.
Barcelona as a global reference in applied health
With the opening of MiróLab, Barcelona strengthens its positioning as a pioneering city in health, innovation and public wellbeing models. CEM Joan Miró, a municipal landmark facility, now expresses the city's commitment to progress and the collective wellbeing of its citizens.
A call to look beyond
This birth is a call to all fitness professionals and enthusiasts to look beyond the obvious. To commit to comprehensive, personalised and scientific assessment. Health and performance deserve thorough analysis and genuine commitment.
It is not merely about training; it is about training well. And for that, technology, data and humanity must go hand in hand.
