Our Elite 1-1 Endurance Coaching is a completely bespoke partnership designed to fit the unique realities of your physiology, schedule, and performance goals. Everything begins with our deep-dive Initial Consultation. We don't just ask for your target event date; we audit your metabolic profile, injury history, lifestyle stressors, and biomechanical limiters. From there, we construct a dynamic, highly individualized training blueprint that evolves with you week by week.

Every athlete experiences injury at some stage. The initial assessment and possible surgery are shocking, but the long, seemingly endless, path to recovery is full of frustration and boredom. We aim, in consultation with your medical team, to accelerate and enhance your rehabilitation experience. Having thoroughly assessed your case, we conduct a series of practical tests (2-3 sessions), tailored to your stage of rehabilitation. These include: a strength and conditioning screen to identify the injury's impact on strength, power, balance and flexibility; a sports specific movement analysis to see how your movements now respond to the demands of your sport; a RMR analysis to assess your energy needs; and a 1-1 consultation to discuss your current fears and uncertainty and future objectives. Having got the data, we start planning your path back. We provide: a progressive, sports specific, strength and conditioning program; a dietary plan to support training but also manage weight gain; and provide techniques to build mood, self-confidence and goal orientation during this frustrating time. We also help you implement the plan, providing: 6 tailored personal coaching and personal conditioning sessions; weekly dietary assistance and meal planning; 2 back-to-action preparation sessions, helping you overcome remaining mental or physical barriers; and contact with a personal coach via skype/phone (2 hours per month) and e-mail (unlimited). Finally, we reassess you at the end of rehab to ensure compensatory asymmetries that have arisen as a result of injury are identified and addressed. Over 30 hours of dedicated support in a package worth over £2,000 (if bought separately). Move forwards!

Your dedicated sports scientist is matched to you due to their knowledge and understanding of your circumstances. At an initial consultation we discuss your personal and sporting background and your ambitions for the future. We introduce you to our team and explain how we can assist you. At a series of 3-4 assessment sessions we test your mental preparedness, physiological capacity, technical capabilities and nutritional habits. We assess: musculoskeletal foundation, neuromuscular power generation, dynamic movement competency, cardiovascular conditioning (anaerobic capacity, lactate threshold and VO2Max), respiratory function (inspiratory muscle strength, dynamic lung function), technical aptitude and sports specific skills, body composition and energy metabolism (including RMR), sports nutrition strategy (incorporating sweat test) and dietary habits. We discuss test results, providing a report to your coaches (if desired). In consultation, we identify areas for improvement and analyse your existing training regime to see what adjustments can be made, either designing completely new programs or adapting your existing ones. Such programs cover strength, conditioning, sport specific training and a full nutrition plan (for home and sport, including training and racing). We provide iterations of these programs as you progress, for 6 months. Once the plan is in place, we help you implement it. Key personal coaching, conditioning and biomechanical support is available to you (7 hours total) for 1-1 sessions. We give you access to our on-line dietary resources (recipes, cooking tips, preferred suppliers, selected supplements, etc). And we offer 3 race consultations to help you mentally prepare for the challenges ahead. Finally, we support you as you progress by skype/phone (1hr each month) and e-mail (unlimited). Over 70 hours of dedicated professional support and a package of services worth over £4,600 (if bought separately). The difference, captured!

Evolve to achieve your best. We investigate every aspect of your performance - mental, physical, technical and nutritional - and look to improve each aspect, ensuring you develop the capacity to perform at your desired level. After an initial consultation, covering your sporting and injury history and your personal motivations and constraints, we conduct a series of tests, at 3 separate sessions. These give us a comprehensive, objective assessment of your baseline capacity and include: strength assessments (musculoskeletal performance, neuromuscular power, core strength and balance); cardio-respiratory conditioning tests (lactate threshold, VO2Max); sport specific movement analysis (dynamic movement and skills competency); energy metabolism (RMR test); and a 1-1 consultation to discuss your mental approach to training and competition.

Measure Your Peak Physiological Capacity and discover the limit of your cardiovascular engine. Our Elite VO2 Max Aerobic Capacity Assessment utilizes the CardioCoach Pro — a gold-standard, fully validated gas exchange analyzer — to measure your peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) with clinical-grade precision. Conducted over a highly efficient 8-to-15 minute progressive ramp protocol, this test captures your breath-by-breath gas exchange as the workload steps up. To ensure complete sport-specific validity, this test can be performed on a stationary bike trainer, a treadmill, or a rowing machine. Please Note: This ramp test is designed exclusively to identify your absolute aerobic ceiling and maximum heart rate. Because rapid ramp stages do not allow for metabolic steady-state, we offer separate, specialized Threshold and FATMAX Testing for precise training zone calibration. Includes a full respiratory report and a 15-minute physiological data debrief.

Maximize Speed. Maintain Power. Much More Than a Bike Fit. Take control of your cycling performance with our elite Aero and Biomechanical Kinematics Testing. By pairing the Notio Aero sensor with Vicon Blue Trident IMUs on your ankles, we bridge the gap between wind-tunnel physics and real-world lower-limb mechanics. We capture your real-time aerodynamic drag ($CdA$) and synchronize it with high-frequency joint stability data. This ensures your most aggressive, aerodynamic position never compromises your pedalling efficiency, pelvic alignment, or power output. Perfect for competitive road cyclists, time-trialists, and triathletes looking to unlock sustainable speed.

The Resting Metabolic Rate Test determines the amount of energy (calories) your body utilises at rest by measuring O2 uptake and CO2 output. The test identifies: the heart rates where most ‘bodyfat’ is burned; the calories burned at rest and the type of fuel (fats c.f. carbohydrates) burned; how many calories to eat to put on weight whilst avoiding putting on ‘bodyfat’ or to lose weight without going into starvation mode. It is advisable not to eat or drink (save water) for 8-12 hours before and exercise should be avoided the day before. You will relax in a chair, wearing a face mask and heart rate monitor, whilst your O2 uptake, CO2 output, and heart rate are taken for 15-20 mins. It is very important that you remain as relaxed as possible to get the most accurate results.

Science-Backed Swim Analytics. Bypassing Conventional Coaching Clichés. Most swim coaching relies on what a coach can visually spot from a splashing pool deck. Our Advanced Underwater Swim Video & Biomechanical Force Analysis redefines stroke optimization by combining high-speed multi-angle underwater filming with clinical Vicon Blue Trident IMU sensors. Led by an applied sports biomechanist with extensive swim research expertise, this assessment synchronizes what your stroke looks like (kinematics) with the hidden micro-forces causing drag or deceleration (kinetics). Uniquely adaptive, this test can be conducted both in and out of a wetsuit to map exactly how rubber buoyancy alters your shoulder mechanics and torso roll. Includes a premium multi-angle raw video bundle, synchronized inertial force reports, and a comprehensive structural movement strategy.

Beyond the Static Jig. True Efficiency in the Real World. Every standard bike fit is a compromise — a snapshot of your body frozen in a sterile lab, optimizing a machine around your current physical limitations. Our Cycling Economy & Dynamic Biomechanical Assessment shatters this mould by measuring true metabolic and kinetic efficiency where it actually matters: out on a real ride. By syncing traditional metrics (heart rate and watts) with wearable Vicon Blue Trident IMU sensors, we track the precise forces moving through your body during high-torque hill climbing, high-speed cornering, and technical descending. We deliver what a traditional bike fitter cannot — a comprehensive roadmap that pairs minor bike adjustments with a targeted dry-land Strength & Conditioning (S&C) blueprint designed to upgrade your actual anatomy, break through physical restrictions, and maximize your performance. Includes full real-world telemetry data capture, joint force analysis, and a customized dry-land biomechanical intervention plan.

Step Off the Treadmill. Analyze Your True Stride on the Track. A treadmill pulls the ground underneath your feet, altering your natural biomechanics, reducing your hamstring activation, and masking your true flaws. Our Real-World Running Gait & Biomechanical Analysis brings elite sports science to its most ecologically valid environment: the running track. By capturing your stride over actual ground, we pair high-speed kinematic video with Vicon Blue Trident IMU sensors to map the hidden shock-waves and rotational forces moving through your limbs in real time. Guided by an applied biomechanist, this assessment bypasses superficial footwear fixes. Instead, we analyze your fundamental anatomy to deliver a targeted dry-land Strength & Conditioning (S&C) blueprint. We give you the exact tools needed to re-engineer your posture, bulletproof your joints against impact, and unlock natural, sustainable running economy. Includes full outdoor track telemetry capture, impact force reports, and a customized dry-land biomechanical intervention plan.

This service aims firstly to identify and evaluate any hurdles that you may have and secondly to explore what strategies are most likely to help you surmount them. We explore with you (or your nominated team leader) any recent performance or training issues and how you consider they arose. We discuss with you motivations, feelings during competition and training. We may ask for a more detailed insight into group dynamics or the wider situation (which you are perfectly free not to discuss). We explore possible hurdles and suggest certain strategies to help overcome them, in the context of your sport. If you are a group, we ask each member and, if applicable, your coach to complete a questionnaire separately prior to the consultation and report back our findings to your nominated team leader. Wider group seminars can be conducted by arrangement.

Our race nutrition strategy provides a comprehensive assessment of your personal physiology, to determine the amount of carbohydrates you need at differing exercise intensities. We conduct a cardio-pulmonary exercise test at your target race pace in your primary sport (if you are conducting a multi-sport event, we can add a second and third assessment for £60 each) to determine the precise level of carbohydrates you burn at that intensity. We then use our proprietary algorithm to determine how your body uses its intra-muscular glycogen stores, liver glycogen reserve in that particular sport to determine the level of carbohydrate supplementation needed during your race. It is advisable to couple this test with our Proprietary Hydration Test, to determine the electrolyte supplementation needed alongside carbohydrate intake, to maintain an efficient physiology whilst racing. We discuss your report with you in a 30min post-test consultation.

You started with the best objectives: get fit; lose weight; achieve one of your goals. But life or injury or both has got in the way: is it really worth it? We want you to achieve what you set out to do, but will give you realistic advice if it is not possible. Our free, 30min consultation helps us determine if we can help you and you determine whether you have the time and energy. If we both decide to carry on, we quickly conduct our assessments: a strength and conditioning screen; cardiovascular conditioning tests; sports specific movement analysis; and RMR tests. These give us a much fuller picture of your race preparedness and current conditioning, from which we can develop highly bespoke training programs. Such programs cover all your training in the lead into the race (strength & conditioning, cardiovascular conditioning and sport specific technical training) and provide a race nutrition strategy, tailored to your physiology. Once this plan is in place we help you implement it. 2 personal conditioning or personal coaching sessions are included (more can be added) to take you through the programs and help you with any technical adjustments. A member of staff is available by e-mail to answer any questions. And, we also plan a competition consultation, to allay your fears and re-motivate you for the race itself, and a race strategy consultation, to help you plan your race and race nutrition. In total, we will spend over 20 hours, dedicated to getting you over the line and the services you will receive as part of this package are worth over £1,200 if bought separately. Get back on track!

The Step Up program builds functional foundations that help you develop, whilst giving you a glimpse of the dedication and focus it takes to excel. Groups of up to 3 are welcome but should have similar sporting interests (e.g. dynamic team sports; explosive sports; endurance sports - contact us if uncertain). Initially, we meet to learn more about you and subsequently conduct 2 testing sessions (2-3hrs each), focussed on strength and conditioning foundations and sports specific skill levels. These include: a musculoskeletal screen, dynamic movement analysis and body composition test to assess preparedness for sport; an assessment of explosive power and how well you apply it to dynamic movements to analyse movement competency; a sub-maximal VO2Max Test to test cardiovascular fitness; and bespoke activities which assess sport specific skills, anticipation and tactical awareness. The importance of all the tests is clearly explained and they are adapted both to suit and engage youth athletes. Following testing, we develop programs which: develop the correct sporting foundations; increase resilience to injury; and fit in with other commitments. These include: a strength & conditioning training program tailored to you and your sport; and a sports specific skill acquisition and dynamic movement skills program. The programs are progressed 3-4 times over a 6 month period. To help follow the programs the package includes 2 x personal conditioning, 2 x personal coaching and 2 x skill acquisition sessions. More sessions can be purchased at a discounted rate if desired. Finally, we provide mentoring, support and guidance via e-mail (unlimited). Over 25 hours of dedicated professional support and a package of services worth over £1,750 (if bought separately). Fun times!
