Coalition Performance

Fantastic experience: I started at Coalition Performance 5 months ago. I had previous experience in the gym but kept obtaining injuries. I started at Coalition with a damaged shoulder and lower back. The lads instantly done an assessment on me and designed my workout programme to avoid further damage and strengthen muscles around the damaged areas. After a couple weeks I felt an instant improvement and it now has completely disappeared and have had no pain in these areas since! The structure to the sessions is very organised and are done on a 4 week rotor so you are always learning new exercises and progressing with weight on the bar! The lads always go into the extra detail about explaining form and what muscle groups you are targeting etc. Would recommend Coalition Performance to any one of all ages and experiences. Thanks again to the team.

Fantastic experience: I always look forward to coming to Coalition, I leave feeling a lot more energised and have become so much stronger. The coaches are extremely enthusiastic and helpful. Thanks Ollie and the team!!

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Dave the morning after surgery to repair my broken my femur in February, on the back of a friend's recommendation. I was instantly struck by how reassured I was talking to him about my rehab and the various stages this would take. Since then, Craig, Billy, Ollie, Nick, and James have all been enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and understanding throughout my rehab. Despite my having no real gym experience, they have been great throughout, encouraging me relentlessly. Now, 7 months down the line, I am cycling again and back to relative normal but still keen to push on to the next stage of improving my overall fitness. The tailored and staged nature of the rehab, the ability to talk me through each exercise, and the friendliness of the team has all helped me recover much quicker than expected. Fully believe getting off the sofa as early as possible was imperative for my physical and mental health. Would like to say a big thanks to all the team for their belief and backing this year and can highly recommend to anyone coming back from serious injury. Stu

Fantastic experience: Came off a marathon in April very injured. Every tendon in my body inflamed, struggling to get out of a seated position and walk. Craig and the team put together a plan which whilst it’s been slow going has improved my condition to the point that I ran a 5km over the weekend. Highly recommend the team at Coalition to anyone who has an injury and isn’t sure where to turn

Fantastic experience: Positive and enjoyable sessions. Great PT's. Noticeable improvement. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I'm in my 4 month at CP and thank the super professional team for starting me on my road to recovery! Always encouraging and supportive and are expert in human mechanics!! Normally I would have given up by now . Thank you

Fantastic experience: Coalition is a great place to train. You can get in and get your workout done, with no waiting around to use equipment. The trainers are all helpful and knowledgeable. Much better than standard gyms.

Fantastic experience: My son started at CP this summer to help rebuild his strength, fitness and confidence after ACL surgery. He’s had sessions with three different trainers and he has been impressed with each of them. The trainers are all knowledgeable and having sports backgrounds he can relate well with them. They have each pointed out different things and helped in different ways. My son had been to other physios in the past but the sessions were all strictly focused on the knee and quite basic. CP is on a different level! Thanks to CP, my 17 year old has regained his confidence and strength to head back into competitive football. I highly recommend CP. it is a friendly, motivating environment that will work you hard to get the results you want.

Fantastic experience: We joined for my 15 year old to prepare for preseason training. I can’t recommend Ollie, Dave and the team enough! It’s been a friendly, welcoming and professional experience for us. The specific individual training plan couldn’t have any better along with nutritional advice and understanding of my son Ollie’s goals. Ollie heads back to boarding school and pre season training the strongest he could be thanks to coalition.

Fantastic experience: Joined Coalition Performance a couple of months ago following a knee injury. The coaching team have been fantastic in providing the necessary training regime to rehabilitate my knee. Training has been focused and specific to improving my knee strength. After just over 6 weeks in my knee is feeling great, much stronger and feeling much like normal again. Would greatly recommend Coalition Performance to people looking to get fit after an injury or just simply wanting to get fit and have a healthier lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Let Dave & his team take the anxiety & stress out of planning & preparing your training program. As a 55 year old with recent health issues & grown tired of ‘exercising’ the wrong way, I was very wary of where to go & what to do & especially would it work. Well, the difference was noticeable within a couple weeks & a couple of months further on, I am absolutely delighted with what has happened! Weight lost, body fat lost, energy increased massively, feeling great, clothes fitting better & feeling strong! Dave’s program is easy to follow with video clips attached to the program & set out over a month to check your progressions. Great mixture of cardio, strength & stretching that is definitely fun & enjoyable to do. The program has made a massive difference to me already in how I’m feeling & big improvements in my golf & cycling. Im delighted & highly recommend Coalition Performance to achieve any goal that you need! Clive Galloway

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been training at Coalition Performance for a short time but the guys have been incredibly helpful with helping me achieve my goals. Everything they have provided has had a full rationale and all the benefits of the plan made for me have been outlined thorugh each session. The additional advice on nutrition has made it a lot clearer and simpler especially as there is a lot of information out there which isn’t always helpful. I’m looking forward to seeing where I can get to with the help of all the guys.

Fantastic experience: I started with CP a few months ago and can honestly say the PT sessions offered at CP are unique but brilliant in every aspect. I have 1-1 training in a safe controlled environment allowing me to flourish and improve my body at the correct pace for my level of fitness. All the coaches I have encountered are experts and really friendly people - I have had sessions with Dave, Craig and Tom and all have been superb - the consistency and quality of training will not be found elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: I joined Coalition Performance roughly half a year ago and it has been nothing but positive. I have almost doubled in my strength and achieved all my goals in that time. It has helped me tone up and build power. As well as, having great fun and kind trainers to help me along the way.

Fantastic experience: I joined CP a few months ago after not doing any fitness for a while. All of the coaches are great and have quashed any nerves I had about joining a gym! They are always there to help and happy to go through anything as many times as you need. Everyone there always knows who you are and provide the best support and encouragement. The personalised programmes are great, my aim is run a half marathon and within 8 weeks they gave me the confidence to run a 10k. I am seeing incredible improvements and enjoy every session I go to. Thank you to the whole team!!

Fantastic experience: I joined CP around 8 weeks ago having up until that point always believed that getting and staying fit required hours spent running on the treadmill. They have provided me with a whole new approach to fitness, varied sessions mixed with stretching, weights and just a small element of cardio. The whole team are so friendly, every one I’ve encountered has remembered my name and at every session you are supported and encouraged. I can see a bigger difference in my fitness levels and the way my body feels in the last 8 weeks than from months on end of treadmill running.

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed training at Coalition Performance. Their attention to detail is exceptional in terms nutritional advice, monitoring your technique whilst training and continually adjusting your personal plan to ensure you derive maximum benefit from your effort. All the instructors are very well qualified, hugely encouraging and never make me feel stupid when I forget an exercise (which I frequently do). I definitely feel and see the positive changes after 12 weeks and would wholeheartedly recommend Coalition Performance to others.

Fantastic experience: I originally reached out to Coalition Performance to help with my general fitness and back pain. I suffer with bad back pain and so going to a normal gym isn’t great for me as I don’t have the knowledge on what I should/shouldn’t do. After an initial consultation with Craig, a personalised programme was put together for me and allowed me to keep exercising whilst building the strength in my back. I was originally a little nervous and questioned if it was right for me, but I shouldn’t have worried. All of the team couldn’t be more helpful and supportive, showing me what specific exercises I have for that session - I have an inability of remembering what each exercise is ‍♀️- but never am I made to feel like I can’t ask, all of the team are so supportive. There are lots of people there that are stronger & fitter than me, but never does it feel like I don’t belong and everyone is so friendly. 9wks in and I am so happy, I now look forward to a 6.45am gym session and can see results in my back strength and general fitness. Thank you team Coalition!!!!

Fantastic experience: I’m a personal trainer and for years have suffered with shin splints when I run, and no amount of physio, podiatry or strength training has ever managed to cure it, and I got to the point where the pain was pretty much constant, even when I walked ☹️ I also had tendinitis in my left shoulder, neither injuries being very helpful with an active job like mine! So I chose coalition based on the brilliant reviews online, and started 4 months ago. I cannot believe the difference. We have worked on a very structured and tailored strength programme, focusing on great technique, and 4 months on I no longer have any pain in my shins when walking (although not quite there with the running yet but I’m sure it won’t be long!) and I have no pain in my shoulder anymore and can bench press much heavier than I was ever able to without getting injured. I have a weekly one on one session with Bill which I absolutely love, we have such a laugh but I also learn and achieve so much every week. All the coaches are fab there and I’d be happy training with any of them. Even as a PT with several years experience, the knowledge these guys have of the body and rehabilitation is just incredible, and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Looking forward to hopefully doing my first 10k later in the year!

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to have a chat with the guys at Coalition as I was having trouble with my lower back. After a period of rest I wanted to exercise again but was worried too incase I did further damage! After meeting up with Dave at CP knew I was going to be hooked. Their professionalism and knowledge was off the scale! I was reassured they could work with me and help get me back on track. The training sessions are great, thanks to Craig! He's given me loads of advice on nutrition too! My back is stronger with no more pain. I generally feel stronger and fitter. I've now got the confidence to get back into weight training again. Everybody's really friendly at CP your totally made to feel welcome a nice vibe! So glad I've found you guys!

Fantastic experience: I started with Coalition Performance in January 2024 with the main goal being to lose 3st in weight and my experience has been fantastic! I’ve already lost 2.1/2 stone and am confident I’ll reach my target in the coming weeks. On top of that I have loads more energy and feel so much stronger and fitter. The staff are all really knowledgeable and friendly. They tailored a programme to achieve my goals and take account of existing issues such as arthritic knees. Everyone is really supportive and I’m constantly learning more about nutrition and gym technique. I highly recommend Coalition Performance for an enjoyable experience that delivers results!

Fantastic experience: The team @,Coalition have 2 things in mind.Your on going well being and helping you acheive things you didn't know possible. Nutrition is something I never thought to much about.Its helped me loose over a stone in 5 weeks.Thanks to their nutritional help and advice. I've had on going back problems for many years,fractured vertebrae,proplsped bulging discs, sciatica bouts,which overtime have put me in a bad way, both mentally and physically. They,ve shown me how to build my core muscles ,sometimes as simple as using resistant bands. If you suffer with underlying mobilty conditions.This team will put a smile back on your face. In loosing over a stone I find my back problems although still apparent are more manageable. All I can say is ,what you got to loose even it's a few pounds. Thankyou Paul & Julie PS I've had to cut several inches off my belt.

Fantastic experience: The team at CP create an enjoyable and fun environment in which to train and have helped my physical and mental wellbeing enormously with their tailored fitness programmes and in workout form corrections.

Fantastic experience: Trained at coalition for a few months. Excellent facilities, good atmosphere and brilliant trainers. No waiting for equipment like a public gym, everything required for your session is ready per individual on arrival. Perfect for all fitness backgrounds whether you are a beginner or somebody with experience. Continued support from all the staff. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Trained at Coalition for a number of months. Excellent training facilities with ample equipment so never have to share or wait to use equipment. Coaches are very knowledgable, friendly and supportive of clients at all levels of their training journey and are always on hand to provide feedback to ensure clients are performing the different exercise movements correctly and safely. Varied and bespoke training programs mean every client is doing a routine personalised to their goals. Diet tracking is a good service whereby clients diets are monitored through meal tracking apps and nutrition advice, support and motivation is given to give clients the best possible opportunity to make meaningful changes to their physique whatever their goal may be. Highly rate and an easy 5 star review. Only left the gym as I relocated and would 100% return if I move back to the area. Keep up the good work guys!

Fantastic experience: Trust the Coalition Performance process! This is my second period with CP, post hip operations and after 18 weeks of training I am able to run, move better, and feel stronger. I cannot rate the facilities and knowledge of the coaches highly enough - top class. Big shout out to James for putting up with my constant questions and moody moments!

Fantastic experience: I came to coalition after being unable to maintain my running training due to constant injuries. I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to run again at a decent level. Not only have they got me back out on the road consistently but I'm running better than I ever have recently setting pbs in 5k and the half marathon. this is in no small part due to the strength that I've built here. These guys really know what they're doing. Put your faith in them. The process works!

Fantastic experience: Really helpful and professional. With every PT you are in great hands. They helped me rehabilitate my shoulder from surgery and trained me from being unable to have much movement in my shoulder to the strongest I’ve been. Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: I joined Coalition Performance 6 months ago with a goal of increasing my strength and losing weight. The team at CP has helped me achieve this, offering expert advice and technique training during every session. Having always had issues with my lower back, I was nervous about taking part in training sessions that are strength based rather than lots of cardio (my previous regime). My concerns were misplaced and I am lifting more weight with a better technique than ever before. The CP team are excellent at tailoring my programme to ensure that I never experience discomfort in my back and I feel more confident lifting heavier weights in such a controlled and carefully supervised environment. Craig has provided invaluable advice and guidance in regard to my nutrition and I have lost weight and have a better understanding of what I should be eating as a result. I am so grateful to the CP team for all the help they have provided.

Fantastic experience: I joined Coalition to combat age related muscle degeneration and improve my core and leg strength for cycling. With their exercise programme and diet advice I am achieving my goals and I have lost a stone in weight.

Fantastic experience: My son started his journey with Coalition Performance carrying a serious knee injury, following a structured rehabilitation programme he has avoided surgery and is back playing football. I would not hesitate to recommend the Coalition Team.

Fantastic experience: I can’t speak highly enough of the team at Coalition Performance. I started on my fitness journey with them 12 weeks ago following spinal surgery and I’ve seen huge progression towards the goals I set at my first appointment. I have 2 x 1-1 sessions a week and the training plan created by the coaches is regularly reviewed to ensure it’s tailored to my specific needs! If you’re looking for somewhere friendly and engaging that will help you reach your full potential, don’t hesitate to get in touch with them - I wish I’d done it sooner!

Fantastic experience: Coalition performance provide an outstanding fitness program tailored to your specific requirement. My program was remote based using my garage gym and Billy diligently set this up producing result I have not seen before. He also researched hotel gyms when I was abroad for a month and constructed the programs. The remote sessions work really well and I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about it. Finally the team are excellent and Billy exceptional in the way they interact and develop you. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: I have been using 1 to 1 coached sessions at Coalition for the last three months to help rehabilitate from a broken neck and broken back suffered in a cycling accident. I can’t recommend Coalition enough! The sessions are all individually tailored to my rehab and all the staff are extremely professional and motivational. When I think back to where I started, I can’t believe how far I’ve come.

Fantastic experience: My 16 year old son had a knee problem (pain) that was preventing him from playing football. 2 MRI scans plus an ultra sound couldn’t find the problem. Specialist recommended coalition performance to try building strength to a point it would hopefully compensate for any issue and get rid of the pain. Worked a treat. He is now playing pain free without surgery. Great people. Very knowledgable. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The Coalition coaches are a friendly and positive team who really know their stuff. I started at CP wanting to build up my strength and fitness after a serious illness, the personalised program adapts to my needs and has enabled me to be stronger and fitter than ever. It's a friendly environment, the members are great, I'd recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Having regularly exercised at my local leisure centre for over 15 years I was sceptical about doing weight training twice a week. My scepticism was misplaced! In 6.months I have increased my strength, lost weight and improved my technique. The trainers, James, Billy, Connor, Tom and Craig are knowledgeable, friendly and focused. I have provided feedback that a review of my progress twice a year would be great. Apart from that, I highly recommend CP.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Coalition for seven months with the aim of improving my cycling fitness and power. It has been so far a success. My power is up, my time to recover on the bike after efforts has got shorter and my efficiency on the bike has also improved. I can't say I enjoy the process of going to the gym, (would rather be on my bike), but the good folk here make it bearable for me. The focus during sessions and evolving sets mean that the time in the gym is very well spent indeed and is a lot better overall than the alternative of multiple sessions with half focus and little guidance in a public gym. The sessions are not inexpensive, however if you are willing to invest in your health, fitness and strength, this is a good way of doing so.

Fantastic experience: My 12 year old son has been training with Coalition for the last 4 months and it has been absolutely fantastic for him. He started with them ahead of the rugby season as he had had a number of aches and pains the year before. All of the trainers are the most knowledgable, enthusiastic, motivating and empathetic individuals and my son really looks forward to his weekly sessions. I could not recommend the team more highly.

Fantastic experience: Have been going to Coalition Performance for years and have enjoyed every moment. Super useful for young teenagers developing when it comes to all sports or in terms of general fitness. Coaches have been consistently helpful, understanding and welcoming throughout and the atmosphere is ever positive and encouraging. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Without doubt the best gym I’ve ever attended in 35 years of gym membership. The team are knowledgable, dedicated, friendly and unerringly committed to improving your own personal goals. Each session is planned in advance and recorded so that progress can be monitored and constantly moved on. But should there be any issues, quick adaptations to the plan are implemented. The team are not only experts in physical fitness, they are also very good at understanding their clients personally, so that all sessions are not only hard work, they are fun too. I can’t recommend CP highly enough. Definitely a 5 star team!

Fantastic experience: I've been at coalition performance nearly 8years now, it's unlike any other "gym" I have attended it is in my opinion a center of excellence which has helped me grow physically and mentally stronger,and in the last 12 months built me up from a life changing medical emergency to be healthier, lighter and stronger providing unrivalled expertise in all aspects of physical performance and above all it's a friendly welcoming place that's not filled with big ego's just like minded people just trying to improve there game. I thank the staff for all there help over the last 8yrs and especially the last 12months. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I joined in July 2022 and within 2 months both my physical and mental strength had improved massively, which continues with every session. Both the instructors and other members are great fun to be around giving me the confidence to progress further. Nice work all, appreciate your support! Guesty

Fantastic experience: I am a returning customer to this fantastic facility with top class coaches that are passionate to help you reach your individual goals. Highly recommended to all types from people starting out right up to elite athletes. Also note they are experts in training people with injuries and have a wealth of knowledge to guide you in the right direction. Without a doubt the leading fitness facility around.

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried a number of times to build S&C into my training however have always lapsed due to lack of direction. I contacted Dave and explained my past issues with S&C then attended for an assessment where he highlighted my priority areas for improvement. This was a game changer for me as I realised been favouring exercises I performed better rather than the ones I needed for development. Dave created a plan and through regular check-ins adapted it as I got stronger. While I don’t think I’ll ever love S&C I can’t argue with the results so far and many thanks to Dave for helping me see the light !

Positive experience: At a consultation at Spire Parkway Hospital in July/August this year, where I discussed with the senior consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon the finer points of an upcoming procedure to an osteo-arthritic right knee to relieve pain, I was handed a note – “make contact with Dave Cripps at Coalition Performance, as soon as you can”. I’m 63 years of age. I’m a late entrant running enthusiast since my late fifties. I train at Edmondscote Athletic Track in Leamington Spa – with a training group within Leamington Cycling and Athletics Club (LCAC). An MRI scan this summer uncovered osteo-arthritis in the knee, and significant damage to the menisci, which protect the femur and the tibia – medial, and lateral. For anyone with knee pain as I’ve described, these are horseshoe-shaped pads of cartilage, a kind of strong, flexible tissue, sited opposite each other on the inner and outer edges of the tibia. They act as shock absorbers in the knee and help with weight distribution among the bones. My knee had twisted on a 5-mile X-Country Race and the prognosis for later life mobility. Park running, and training were off-limits, indefinitely. The procedure prescribed at the hospital seemed to be the main event but in reality, it turned out that engaging with the Coalition Performance team is making the biggest, post-procedure contribution to my recovery and re-hab. These guys really know what they’re doing. They’re scientific and precise. Every 1:1 session is carefully planned. Every exercise is monitored and coached to optimise the prescribed outcome. Everything measured is recorded on a laptop, and every piece of data analysed informs and validates the session. Every validation supports the deliberation for the next session. So, what is this doing for me: It’s the end of the beginning. It’s week 15. I’ve stepped up the programme from 4 x 1:1 each month to 6 x 1:1 sessions, to up the tempo. Repairing of a knee injury and preparing it to perform, effectively, and pain free, when I’m ready to resume running, isn’t what’s important, as I have learned. It turns out that any knee related surgery needs to address and strengthen all of the surrounding and supporting contributory muscles – from ankles to shoulder. The knee joint needs to move freely, be carefully aligned, and the running form and posture requires precise exercises. This is where Coalition Performance becomes the catalyst. Over a period of 15 weeks, I have made amazing progress. The coaches have never set an exercise for me without explaining it, without demonstrating it, and with hawk-like eyes ensuring that my own execution of the exercise is precise. I’m ready now to pull on a new pair of Brook running shoes, to take the first, gentle 400 metre on the Athletic Club track, and chalk up a daily 0-10 pain scale value. Coalition Performance is unique. It is the polar opposite of any fitness gym I have ever subscribed to. All its coaches know the names of all its clients. There aren’t rows of flashy machines; the coaches set up all the required equipment in preparation for every session. Every one-hour session is purposeful, and progressive. Try it. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I joined CP based on a recommendation from a friend. The guys know their stuff and have a great attention to detail. I’ve really benefited from the focussed & personalised sessions. I arrived with back/leg sciatic problems but I’m getting better & it’s made a huge difference to my wellbeing. My strength & core stability has moved on massively & I feel the difference. Everyone is friendly, approachable & I trust what they do. The sessions fly by and I enjoy them. A friend of mine has now joined CP too!

Fantastic experience: I started with Coalition Performance 7 weeks ago. I was very rusty as hadn’t really done any proper exercise for 10years. The team have made me feel very welcome and set me up with a great programme. They are there to support / encourage and advise when needed. Even after a short period of time I am starting to feel a positive difference. Thanks all Ashley

Fantastic experience: The training I have been receiving at Coalition Performance over the past 6 months is making a big difference to my fitness and overall health because the sessions are challenging but adapted to my specific needs, so that I am successful and can detect progress. The approach to the older person is friendly, respectful, informed and supportive and tailored to the individual, session by session, making it not only a constructive experience but also, an enjoyable one.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended Coaltion Performance by a friend who spoke highly of the team. I was struggling to find a place that worked for me. Having tried PTs in the past with limited success. One of the issues I've previously had was feeling like a fish out of water as gyms are not my natural environment. The team at Coalition put this concern to rest making me feel at home. They listened to my wants and have tailored my training to suit. I find my time here a fun and rewarding addition to my week.

Fantastic experience: Since starting strength training with CP eight months ago, I have only had one spell away from running thanks to a normal winter cold. I am now running pain-free for the first time in 5 years, have been able to increase my mileage back up from 20 to 35+ miles a week. The tailored strength training, and expert advice each week has put my running back on course, and I have recently returned to winning my age group category in trail half marathons.

Fantastic experience: I was a member of the same gym for the last 20 years and my training regime had become stale, doing the same routines with limited results. I needed a change and a friend recommended CP. On joining I have immediately seen improvements in the areas of focus through a wide variety of enjoyable but challenging exercises. The tailored programs that are developed in conjunction with the support of the knowledgeable trainers has ensured that I’m making progress towards my goals. I am now more motivated to train and have complete trust that I will continue to develop with the guidance of the CP team.

Fantastic experience: I came into Coalition after weightlifting for just under a year. They really helped me understand where I needed to improve and make sessions inviting and interesting while working sessions around what I do outside of Coalition. I’m not the most social of creatures (lol) but it’s easy to feel at ease and relaxed with the trainers at Coalition, and I’ve never been worried about asking questions and cracking jokes. They are also helping me rehab an injury, but it doesn’t feel like everything revolves around my gammy hip and sessions delve into different areas and expertise which is really nice. Deffo recommend!

Fantastic experience: A refreshing place full of support and positivity! I've recently joined Coalition and already can see the difference in my strength and fitness. If you are someone who loves the gym but can find it intimidating or you are unsure of how to progress - this is the ideal place. I love how I get to ask LOTS of questions and learn during my sessions without any judgement just support and reassurance. Really knowledgable, educated and full of enthusiasm - No "bro science" here!!! (Also the coffee and the chat is great ) - Thanks so much - I'm excited about what I will be able to achieve

Fantastic experience: Consummate professionals! I joined Coalition Performance in July 2023 as part of my rehab from a significant knee injury and surgery in 2022. I met with Dave Cripps who set out to me the philosophy of Coalition Performance and I was impressed with his experience of working with elite athletes and professionalism. My first session was with my lead trainer Craig who is superb. I have two sessions per week. Craig oversees my rehab, by setting my exercise programme and coaches me for one session a week and the other session is taken by one of the tight knit team of coaches. Although Craig oversees my coaching and knows me best, there is no drop off in knowledge or quality between the coaches with all seemingly expertly trained in working with me to achieve my rehab goals and all are great people to get along with. The coaches are constantly asking for feedback on how my body feels during sessions and respond by altering exercises if required. My only regret is not joining Coalition Performance immediately post surgery. I would completely recommend this organisation to anyone looking to rehabilitate, improve or push themselves to achieve their physical goals.

Fantastic experience: It’s all about personal success and encouragement. Initially overcoming injury to becoming British triathlon championship age group winner my training with CP trainers has been a partnership to success. The trainers help me to believe in myself thank you all. In line with health advice of keeping the aging population strong mentally and physically, healthy and the best they can be. James thank you. Fantastic trainers and fantastic outcomes.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic organisation, our son is a professional Kart racer and having been with Coalition now for a few months, he is reaping the rewards. The structure and attention to detail from the team is superb. Our son has formed a great bond with his trainer too. I would fully recommend any young athletes to talk directly to Dave and his team.

Fantastic experience: We were recommended to Coalition when looking for a Youth Training Scheme for our son who was very keen to start strength and conditioning training in the gym. Almost one year on and his strength and self confidence have grown enormously. It was very important to us that he started his gym journey safely with professional guidance to instil good technique and the knowledge to safely enjoy strength training. I cannot recommend Coalition highly enough all the coaches are friendly, professional, encouraging and engaging. I would definitely recommend them for anyone no matter what your goal.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't be happier with my experience with Coalition Performance. I have struggled with injuries for years, despite resistance training, and since working with Dave have managed to stay injury free and am running longer distances than I have in 10 years. I love knowing that my programme is so well thought out and that I am really maximising the time spent in the gym. Dave is super professional, helpful and provides the rationale for why he creates the programme the way he does which is really motivating. I very much recommend!

Fantastic experience: The guys at Coalition Gym are brilliant! They have designed a personal fitness rehab program to help me recover from major hip revision surgery 9 months ago. The ever changing exercise program has moved me from being in great pain, unable to walk and even get into a car to now being able to get out of bed pain free, walk pain free (7miles the other day ) I even cycled 20 miles last week for the first time . At last I am confident I will soon be able to run and play hockey and tennis again, all of which I have been unable to do for 3 years ! Even my fantastic surgeon is amazed at my recovery. All the guys are excellent at explaining and demonstrating the specific exercises they have designed that target directly on strengthening the injured or damaged muscles. A very talented group of people. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: The Coalition Team are truly great; a really down to earth and friendly bunch that really know their stuff! They really do focus on you as a person and they genuinely do tailor your programme around what you want to achieve. This is completely unique in all of my experience of going to gyms over the last few years. They also focus so acutely on the technique of all the exercises, so you do feel like you’re being looked after and that you are pushing as much as you can on each rep. My sessions so far have not only supported my regular touch rugby and running outside of Coalition, but it has really helped my knee injury as well. An amazing team - thank you!

Fantastic experience: An absolutely brilliant service provided, which is specifically tailored to individual needs, goals and limitations. The programmes set me each week have shown real results, I’ve progressed more than I ever thought I would with the difficulties I suffer as a result of previous sporting injuries. These guys really know their stuff…the programmes they set are specific, effective, challenging but always are modified to help, not exacerbate any existing injury. The equipment at Coalition is of a good standard and perfectly suited to the programme set. Staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and willing to push you to better things. 10/10 Coalition, thank you and well done, keep on doing what you do.

Fantastic experience: From the first session I knew Coalition was the right place to help me to improve my fitness, mobility and strength. The assessment session had been the foundation for a specific plan made for me and my requirements by Craig. All the coaches are very knowledgeable, fun and offer practicable and sensible advice to do all the exercises correctly, maximising their effect. Improvements in fitness, strength and flexibility were noted in a matter of weeks and now after a couple of months I really enjoy and look forward to the sessions. I would highly recommend CP if you want to achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Coalition Performance for just over a year now and during that time I have seen massive improvements in not only my strength and form but also my confidence. I have finally been able to hit new PBs which I never thought would have been possible before joining. The team is very professional and friendly. No matter which member of the team is taking the session they are always up to date with my individual progress, goals or any injuries that I may be struggling with and as such tailor the session to really maximise my growth. I would strongly recommend Coalition Performance to anyone, no matter the level of experience or end goal.

Fantastic experience: I joined Coalition in April 2023 to help my fitness for Agility. My induction and assessment was thorough and took into account everything I wanted to achieve. I now have personalised plan with exercises specifically aligned to my goals. All of the coaches are friendly and supportive ensuring that I'm doing all the exercises with good form. Over the past 4 months my fitness has improved, I'm feeling stronger and my recovery when competing is much quicker.

Fantastic experience: Good teaching skills

Fantastic experience: Me and my 16-year-old daughter have been training with CP for five months now. We are markedly stronger and fitter; even a bit leaner! More work for us to do there though, making better use of CP's nutrition support. Most importantly we are having a load of fun training together. I love the CP model - very personalised programme (stretching and varied), trained by all the guys, not just one of them, and despite us not being elite athletes (!!!!) the PTs genuinely seem to enjoy training us and seeing us progress. Here's to 2022.

Fantastic experience: Great place, great team and brilliant atmosphere!! Started 4 months ago at Coalition Performance as a total strength & conditioning novice but have been made to feel welcome and supported. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic team of strength and conditioning coaches, always there, working with you to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be. Could not think of a better team to have alongside me on my trail racing journey

Fantastic experience: I approached Coalition Performance for help with rehabilitating a shoulder injury. They have been superb creating & tailoring a bespoke programme for me, with regular feedback & reviews, that, while focusing on my shoulder, has also improved my all round strength & fitness. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: What a difference CP has made over the last year. I was about to book in for surgery for both my long standing shoulder injury and also my knee, as well as more generally having trouble with my lower back. CP were able to combine their medical understanding of the issues with a specific strength-based rehab programme such that, a year after starting at CP, I won’t be having any operations and my lower back is so much better. And all of this improvement has definitely helped my mental health too. Thank you to all of the really engaging and skilled coaches at CP for making such a difference.

Fantastic experience: We are new to the gym thing, but the guys have been great. It’s fun going together as a couple, we get a bit of competition from each other, and lots of motivation from the trainers. We have learned lots and gained in strength and stamina over the past 3 months. We highly recommend coalition and enjoy it lots, even the early mornings (although I might have to change that in the winter).

Fantastic experience: I’ve been using the facilities and expertise at coalition for coming up to 5 years. They have kept me in top shape so I can continue to enjoy the sports I love. They have put me back together and managed my program when I turn up broken ( due to work ). I have to say the team at coalition is without a doubt 5 star. Coalition is more of a happy space for me, it is a joy to be a part of this ever growing family.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, awesome people! I was recommended Coalition after picking up a running injury. They tailor each session for me based on my wants / needs and all at a very reasonable price. The sessions are then supervised to ensure you are doing everything correctly. I've always avoided the gym but love going here!

Fantastic experience: Having given up with other gyms I came across Coalition on a local forum and have been attending for just over 2 months now. Wonderfully, I’m now starting to see the results I’d been hoping for. Steady weight loss and toning. For a lady in her 50s this isn’t a quick fix but Craig has been supportive and has responded perfectly to my own physical challenges.

Fantastic experience: I joined CP in the middle of Jan 2022. I had an initial chat with Dave down at the gym where he took the time to get to know me and find out what my goals were. I went back a week later for my assessment with Billy and have been going twice a week since then. I have worked with 4 of the coaches but the majority of the sessions have been with Craig and Billy. Everyone at the gym I have met have been really nice and all round great people especially the coaches. I was nervous when I went for the first time as I wasn’t the most active person, overweight etc but from the moment I first went in everyone made me feel welcome. 5 weeks in and I have lost almost 2 stone which is something I could not of achieved without the support from everyone at CP especially Craig who has help me a lot with my nutrition along the way. I would encourage anyone no matter what level of fitness you are at, who is thinking of joining a gym to go and see the guys at CP, you won’t be disappointed. Looking forward to carrying on my journey with CP and getting closer to achieving my goals.

Fantastic experience: I joined coalition performance a couple of months ago after having a hip dislocation. They have not only help me with rehab and recover from the injury in time to return skiing this season but also gave me the motivation and enjoyment to begin training again because of all the coaches which make you feel so welcome and part of team no matter the circumstance that you are in. As a result of this I have fully recovered but also improved my strength vastly in the upper body which was an area which I had previously not focused as much on before arriving at coalition. Both James and Ryan have especially aided my recovery by knowing when and which exercises to push me on but also working along sides the physios advice on what I should be doing to best help with the strength side of my rehab and to stop any imbalances. This has lead to me recovering faster and also having a lot more trust in them because my physio and I were able to see the impact it was having on the speed of recovery. Would definitely recommend for anyone no matter what your goal is.

Fantastic experience: I started at coalition performance 5 1/2 years ago and can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions and investment into my health, fitness and well-being I have ever made. The coaches are incredible, their knowledge and expertise are elite. I have gone on to achieve goals I never though were possible. Running marathons, smashing running PB’s and lift weights that i thought only “men” could lift. Look forward to every session, no waiting to use equipment as ever member has their own station and their own tailored program designed to their needs and goals. Seriously no gym like it, if you don’t already train here you most definitely missing out.

Fantastic experience: Coalition performance has changed my life. I never knew that a gym could have such a profound and positive impact on my physical, personal and mental wellbeing. That is because Coalition Performance is more than a gym, it is core part of enabling my lifestyle. You don't come here to exercise, you don't come here to get fit, you don't come here to get strong. You come here to be your best self, to feel happy with who you are, and to enable you to live your best life. Coalition performance is a fundamental part of my day to day life, you can't compare it to any other gym. The atmosphere is incredible, the level of knowledge and expertise is the same as you'd expect at elite athlete and the coaches are some of the soundest, most solid people you could ever hope to meet, let alone train with. I train with Ed on a weekly basis and he is amazing and an incredible support to me. I also regularly train with Craig who is fantastic and always good fun on the early morning sessions. Also James and the others are equally brilliant. And of course Dave, the force and vision behind CP without whom it wouldn't be here! Its a fantastic organistion with incredible values, ethics and a burning passion to deliver exceptional service to each and every person that makes the decision to train there. If you are thinking of joining, just do it, you won't regret it. The cost may be higher than a usual gym - but don't let that put you off. The value is phenomenal, you so much more than you pay for - and that is high quality professional training, advice and support. They also have nice coffee.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended Coalition Performance by a friend and from the initial enquiry to starting my training plan in Jan 22, the team at CP have been first class. I have been looking for Strength&Conditioning coaching for a while to assist with my cycling goals, but have been put off by ‘regular’ PT at gyms which have never met my expectations, let alone listened to my goals. The plan I have keeps changing as my strength and fitness both improve, which they are week on week! The encouragement from the coaches is great and the time spent explaining how each exercise helps me with my cycling is first class. The knowledge of the team, the friendly environment, positivity and flexibility to suit my calendar cannot be beaten. Check it out, you will never look back.

Fantastic experience: I started at Coalition due to wanting to help build my strength and performance for running. From the initial email all the team were so professional and friendly. The plan they have given me keeps evolving and is exactly what I need. The team at coalition are always so supportive and friendly and they’ve been made a big change to both my performance and confidence in the gym. Even more so I’m now confident enough to do weights by myself in my normal gym, something I’ve never really done before! They really are the best at what they do and every time I walk in the gym it’s a friendly and positive environment to help me achieve my goals.

Fantastic experience: I joined Coalition Performance 7 years ago, to say I have lived and breathed this place is an understatement. I joined due to a knee ligament reconstruction and was recommended by my rugby coach. I initially had a consultation with Dave and Ed. Their knowledge for the road to recovery and setting goals are far more superior than I have ever seen. I got cleared to play contact sport just some 9 months later from joining. To which I owe all to them. I have seen the gym grow it’s walls from brickwork to the blue and white walls today. It is full of likeminded people, a family if you will. It is a place I simply can’t imagine my routine without and I commend all my gains and milestones to them. The now team of Coalition Performance are one of the most impressive collectives of sport science background across the country! I cannot recommend them enough and their attention to detail of everybody that goes is fantastic. Long live Coalition Performance!

Fantastic experience: Top lads and very enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to gyms for 35 years and CP eclipses them all. The coaches have created a culture at CP that’s really special and would be hard for anyone else to replicate.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgable trainers with both rehab' and performance coaching experience to a high level.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team at Coalition Performance, they’ve helped tailor my workouts to help me achieve my goals. Coaches are passionate at helping you out whenever possible and provide you the boost to push even further.

Fantastic experience: Great team in place @ Coalition. Tailored programme to my golf and nutritional goals. Professional and motivated team. Good balance of strength, stretching, rotation and physical conditioning - all charted and moving through gradual progression.

Fantastic experience: Coalition is the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. Craig, James and co are lovely guys who are professional, super knowledgeable and always have a smile on their faces even at 8pm at night.

Fantastic experience: First went to them on recommendation of my physio, to build up strength in my knees following ACL reconstruction. Tore my ACL from Taekwondo competition. That was back in 2016. One year later travelled with the GB team and won in the US, Tampa, Florida. Fast forward to today, still with them (there was a gap due to work commitments) picking up where I left off, feeling as strong and healthy as ever before. Great team of coaches, doing some of the simple things right which can’t be underestimated. Keep you healthy, keep you progressing towards your own goals, with a willingness to adapt programmes to suit your personal needs and preferences... All you have to do is turn up, they can take care of the rest, it’s that easy!!

Fantastic experience: My experience since joining the CP family in May 21 has been nothing but positive. All the coaches are genuinely nice guys, and they work as a team so you get the best all-round advice and benefit from their pool of knowledge. I feel that each one of the coaches really cares about the getting the best out of each session, which certainly helps motivate me to turn up and do my best no matter how I’m feeling or what my day’s been like. I also love that they adapt the programme to accommodate any niggles or injuries, which has certainly helped my recovery process. I love the format of a group class, where we’re all following our own programme but share the coach. The banter is pretty good too! I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a facility that really does offer a personal, tailored approach to match your own goals and abilities, taking into account any injuries sustained whilst underpinned by solid nutrition guidance then I would recommend Coalition Performance. One size does not fit all, everyone is different, the coaches listen to you and find out what you like and dislike and construct a programme to suit you that you will enjoy completing. It's the refreshing team work approach from their strength and conditioning coaches thats makes all the difference, the coaches all work together to support the client, rather than the competitive approach from coaches that you might find in commercialised gyms. I would not hesitate to recommend Coalition Performance to anyone who has fitness goals to achieve; sustained an injury and looking for rehab or simply looking to improve their strength and conditioning, the coaches at Coalition Performance can help people who are starting out with their strength and fitness goals up to very accomplished athletes who want to optimise their performance their knowledge and expertise is vast! Thank you so much for all your help and support- it's much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: I joined Coalition last month and it has been one of the best decisions I've made to date! The whole team are friendly, supportive and knowledgeable and they all encourage you to do your absolute best during every session, making me feel at ease from the outset. They coach and support not only in my weekly training session but also with a weekly nutrition catch up to help me achieve my goals. Every person's plan is tailored to them as an individual based on their goal, so it's not a one size fits all approach which is refreshing to be apart of. You have your own training station and equipment to use for each session meaning you can dedicate all the time to smashing the exercises than searching for kit. And the best part of it all? Already I am seeing results! I could not recommend Dave and the team any more!

Fantastic experience: The team at Coalition are focused on you and your goals. You get a personalised training plan which is constantly reviewed and modified to meet your needs. When training you get your own equipment so there is no waiting around to get on a machine. They also check your form when you are training to make sure you are getting the most from each exercise and not doing something that may cause injury. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and you feel part of an extended family. I would recommend them to anyone, whatever your training needs. Thanks guys!!!

Fantastic experience: Great staff who motivate you to exceed what you thought you could achieve.

Fantastic experience: This is definately not a 'one size fits all' approach. A highly tailored, motivational and evolving programme which gets results. The coaches are knowledgeable, enthusiastic & listen. I am 6 weeks in & loving it.

Fantastic experience: 4 months in and loving the experience. Unlike any other gym I have been to - in a positive way! Friendly atmosphere and Dave and the team are very supportive and knowledgable. Am happy to highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: There are no quick fixes! The guys at CP have given me the structure and direction to the new vision of myself. They are extremely personable. You get the impression the whole coaching team know who the members are as each visit regardless of who’s in they welcome you by name, know your achievements and are all happy to help, instruct and encourage you to reach your goals. These guys coach professional athletes as well as mere mortals, so you don’t need to be intimidated by not having a superhero body, but if that's your goal and you want to work for it, they’ll no doubt help you achieve it. They understand how body movements work, and how not to damage yourself. All the coaches have a great sense of humour and stimulating banter to keep you on target.

Fantastic experience: A short review to say how impressed my wife and I are with the professional, friendly and focused approach CP have to each member. A real pleasure to train there and the energy that James continues to bring to the session even though we see him at the graveyard shift is super. We love it and are really enjoying it too. Total advocates who have done the rounds so seen plenty including David Lloyd, Virgin and PTs in the local area. You have a good formula and should be very proud of what you and the team have achieved and continue to deliver.

Fantastic experience: The coalition team have been the perfect squad to give me a kick up the bottom and to be motivated to turn up.for my sessions. Feeling the benefits within a few weeks and I'm confident that they will help me climb to the top of the three peaks and run a good time for 5k by next year. They have a really high standard of covid secure measures and they do everything they can to allow you to exercise in a safe environment.

Fantastic experience: The guys at Coalition have been amazing at improving my times in swimming, cycling and running, as well as helping with and solving the niggly injuries I've had for several years! I can't find any faults at Coalition for people who need a tailored approach to a specific goal. The guys there are incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. The facilities are great, and the training is absolutely amazing!
