Elite Performance HQ

Fantastic experience: Ive been a member of different gyms for years, but this is the only place where I’ve felt comfortable to really push myself to make a difference. The friendly atmosphere and Mick’s approach is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I joined Elite Performance in January as someone who had not trained for a long time. I was someone who was out of my comfort zone with gym work and needed some guidance. I joined up initially on a transformation programme and was genuinely surprised at my results! I’d gained muscle mass and lost fat. This was exactly what I’d been told by the highly knowledgeable trainers. The atmosphere at EP is superb and there are a lot of like minded individuals who soon became friends. I’ve since joined as a member and have continued my progress with weights, cardio and body weigh exercises. I’m nearly 45 but have never felt fitter. I would highly recommend EP to everybody…a nervous newcomer or experienced gym goer!

Fantastic experience: If you are thinking of entering that event you have always wanted to, want to get fit, lose weight or simply lacking direction and need some guidance then Mick is your man! Absolutely bags of experience, very competitive prices with lots of different packages available to suit everyone. Look no further, trust me, you will not regret it

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Elite Performance, great classes and a brilliant group of people. You are guaranteed to increase your fitness and improve your strength.

Fantastic experience: The Elite Performance HQ is a fantastic fitness training venue in Preston. Head Coach Mick is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of fitness training, as well as being a great guy. Highly recommended. Ian GymWolfPT

Fantastic experience: Mick is a fantastic fitness coach. I joined EPHQ more than a year ago, on the 6 week course, and I have continued as a member with 2 to 3 sessions a week since. The atmosphere is great, very relaxed, and the other members are supportive and not critical. I was in no way a "gym bunny", in fact as far away from one as you can get! I have lost "bad" weight, put on muscle mass, my asthma has improved. I feel fitter, less stressed and more confident. The sessions push you a little further each time, but are accessible for new starters or experienced gym goers. I would recommend Mick and the gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I joined EP a few weeks ago and am loving it! The sessions are brilliant and its exactly what I've been looking for. Mick is very knowledgeable and varies the sessions enough to make them feel fresh. I've struggled motivating myself to go to the gym on my own in the past, but here, I feel part of a group who are all welcoming with no egos.

Fantastic experience: To say Mick is an expert in his field would be a total understatement. Seeing the calibre of athletes he has worked with proves this beyond any doubt, so signing up was a little bit daunting. I am not what you would call an elite athlete but am made to feel it with Mick's approach. My plan is personal to me or I can join in one of the group sessions. From the very first session everything he set out was achievable. There are no ridiculous calorie restrictions, no unrealistic targets. The sessions are tough but they help to push yourself that little bit extra. Wellbeing is not just physical, Mick is never too busy just to sit and have a chat with a coffee. I feel fitter and stronger than I have done for about 20 years and I put that down to Elite Performance.

Fantastic experience: The 19kg weight loss should be enough to say how good Mick and EP is, but it’s so much more than that. Mick has changed my entire approach to fitness, diet and well-being and I highly recommend the facility. Mick has shown support, guidance and patience on my fitness journey - one I’ve maintained despite in the past always giving up at the gym after 6 months or so. A range of fitness classes as well as 1:1 support has changed my life as I now feel the fittest, strongest and most knowledgeable I’ve ever been when it comes to health and fitness and that’s solely down to Mick and the EP team.

Fantastic experience: Where do I start?!....... This place is everything you need in a gym! The environment is nothing I have ever experienced at a gym. It's amazing! The members are so welcoming - there is such a positive vibe all around the place. Mick - now this guy knows his stuff! He is so motivating and positive with everything he does. He pushes us all into becoming so much stronger. I highly recommend this place to anyone - no matter your fitness or ability level.

Fantastic experience: I’ve Been training with Mick at elite performance hq since it first opened. Mick helped me train for my first Ironman triathlon last year. He has helped me push myself beyond what I thought I was capable of. Brilliant facility with a great group of members.

Fantastic experience: I contacted Mick having reached my heaviest weight at 44. Halfheartedly, wanting to try to do something about it. I’d heard through friends in the North West that Mick and EPHQ were excellent at what they do and the results seemed to always show that when I saw them. I live in London so doing a remote/online training programme is something I wasn’t sure would work but wanted to at least give it a try. I started on an 8 week transformation programme. I started 2 weeks before going on holiday and hadn’t been to a gym for well over 15yrs. I also have long work hours/travel, football and a young family to fit in. Already I was making excuses! After a slow start, Mick intervened and did the one thing that nobody else had done before. He made me accountable. It’s not just the expert advice and nutrition, it’s the understanding of your personal circumstances, what makes you tick and the adaptive way that Mick is able to tailor things to get the best outcomes that really is impressive. Regular check-ins and accountability is working even when I have a “bad” day. Since the reset, I’m now in the (new) 4th week and feeling sharper in the mind, more positive, slightly stronger and a little leaner - all while eating more and weighing 9lbs less. I’m now looking forward to visiting EPHQ for a few sessions over the Christmas break back to the North West. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: EPHQ is a top quality facility ran by fitness, strength and conditioning experts. I've attended the 6-week transformation program and continued with it as I enjoyed it so much. Highly recommended for anyone of any fitness ability!

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Elite Performance HQ enough! Mick is the absolute best in the business, not only does he make you feel 100% comfortable but his advice and expertise is incredible. The absolute best facility, suitable for all ages, shapes and sizes. You’d be silly not to work with Elite Performance HQ

Fantastic experience: A quality facility that was suited to all abilities. The staff are great and the place has a friendly environment. I really enjoyed my transformation classes!

Fantastic experience: Great facility and staff! I started off with a 6 week transformation programme run by Mick who is knowledgeable, passionate and supportive as a trainer. The programme gradually built up in difficulty and the progress I made was brilliant! The transformation gives you the perfect start you need to get into good exercise and eating habits. After completing this programme I joined as a ‘member’ and now attend 3 or 4 sessions a week, mixing between small group or 1-2-1 sessions and the larger sessions that make up the ongoing transformation programmes. The improvement seen in my fitness levels has been amazing and I actually enjoy getting up and going to EHPQ even in the dark, early mornings - although I doubt I’ll ever enjoy burpees! Thank you Mick (and more recently Alanis!)!
