Sportstest Performance Centre

Garry was very generous with his time and used the pre and post test discussions to really unpick what makes me tick and what my aims are. The in-depth performance testing was really informative and will be used to shape my marathon training going forward so I can run most effectively. Garry and all his staff make you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive and I would highly recommend Sportstest.

Very professional and welcoming team. Gary has a great deal of knowledge and tells you how it is, which is needed if you're not on the right path. He explains everything very well and gives great advice on how to improve and better your lifestyle and achieve your end goal.

The gains I made in the 90 minute session with Amaro were really impressive. I was a frustrated swimmer who had the endurance to swim 2 or 3 km in open water but had no technique whatsoever. In the pool I would be splashing around doing my lengths and other swimmers would just glide passed me effortlessly. Amaro has taking me right back to basics and I now know what I am doing wrong with the help of the visual monitoring. I’m not Michael Phelps yet but with practice I hope to become a far more efficient, injury free swimmer. My 100m time went from 2.34 mins/100m to 1.54mins/100m in one session. I will be back for further tweaking of my technique in a couple of months. Many thanks for sorting me out.👍

Great experience with Triathlon Fitness Test. Bike test completed and results explained, training zones calculated and talked through. Run test postponed due to calf niggle, was checked straight away and seen by sport therapist.

Great service and experience, also taking welfare into account.

So glad I booked in with Amaro, I knew I wasn't particularly good at swimming but actually seeing on the screen and the mirrors and getting the professional guidance made me realise how poor my technique actually is, now time to get some more lessons in and spend some more time in the pool. Couldn't recommend enough. Thank you.

Amaro had no trouble spotting the flaws in my stroke and putting me on the correct path!
He took time at the end of the session to explain what was causing my sore shoulder and corrected my recovery, very grateful for all you’ve done so far

I had a full test today and as a 72 year old I wanted a benchmark level in order to pitch my training. Garry and the team couldn’t have been more helpful. I now have a much better understand how my physical condition is impacting on my cycling. Or vice versa. I’ll be back in June to check my progress on my target of completing 3 iconic Alpine climbs later in the year.

Firstly a fantastic bike session with Dr Garry Palmer, as ever. Makes me understand how to train and where to improve, and I've got a clear, realistic plan to get me to my goal of a long distance triathlon (petrified...!). I can't fault his work, expertise or advice. Secondly a fantastic first swim session with Amaro - he was kind, patient and explained what I needed to work on brilliantly. I came away knowing how I need to improve my swim, and in just 75 minutes I had improved my body position and technique immeasurably, and was swimming much faster with less effort. Amazing! Thanks Amaro and Garry.
