5⭐️ review for PPA! Read in full below:

'We started with Physical Performance academy about a year ago when my daughter qualified for Swim England Summer Nationals. At this point, she wasn’t doing any strength or land-based training along side her swimming.

From the very beginning, Lewis was very knowledgeable and his swimming background was a huge advantage. He understood exactly what we needed and designed home-based workouts as we don’t live nearby.

Since starting with Physical Performance Academy, my daughter’s strength, movement, and exercise technique have improved enormously, and it’s had a significant positive impact on her swimming performance. This year, she went on to qualify for the British Nationals, which has been an amazing achievement.

We would both highly recommend Lewis and Physical Performance academy to any athlete looking to improve their performance'

Let's go! 📈💥👏

Is your young athlete eating for performance, or falling into these common nutrition traps?

As parents, you're doing your best to support your child, but even well-meaning choices can negatively affect energy, focus, recovery, and growth. ⚡

Here are 5 nutrition mistakes we see all the time with youth athletes:

❌ Skipping breakfast

❌ Grabbing convenience snacks

❌ Ignoring recovery meals

❌ Overloading protein but under fueling with carbs

❌ Not staying properly hydrated

The result? Low energy, poor performance, slower recovery, and higher risk of injury.

The solution? Start with balanced meals, hydration habits, and smart post-training fueling. These small changes make a big difference in how your athlete performs and feels!

🎯 Fueling is just as important as training. Let’s help your athlete reach their full potential—in and out of sport.

Fantastic work from PPA athletes over the summer!

Everyone is on their own sporting journey, and we're here to support their development.

Individualised programmes mean there is some cross-over between exercises/drills, but all for different reasons for each athlete.

All with one key focus:

HIGH QUALITY MOVEMENT

This increases the chance that training will carry over to the sport, improves strength/power/speed to a greater extent, and means less chance of injury. Keep smashing it!

👉 In-person sessions every weekday
4:30-5:30pm
5:30-6:30pm
6:30-7:30pm
7.30-8.30pm

👉 Or work with us remotely!

Supporting the development of powerful young athletes, physically and psychologically 💪🧠

Strength and power development (and the ability to demonstrate through tangible results) breeds confidence. Confidence breeds positive goal setting and commitment to achieving.

We are building strength, power and speed in young athletes.. But we are also building confidence for the long term.

Athletes who have been with us for a while are showing fantastic rates of progression and development in all areas - the best news though? We are only just getting started.

The earlier a young athlete starts their physical development journey, the better.

Bring your son or daughter to work with experts - DM for details 📩

Our newest 50 club member - Georgiy! 💪

Georgiy has been a member of PPA since July 2025

Georgiy's sport is swimming - when joining, he was keen on improving strength, power and speed that transfers through to the pool

Starting in the foundation phase of our movement development system (developing key movements that all young athletes need), we quickly saw lots of progress. He's now progressed onto loading key movements for swimming to develop the strength and power needed to move faster in the water

Georgiy's performance stats:

CMJ (Jump height) - from 31.1cm to 36.5cm: 17.4% improvement

Broad jump (horizontal power) - from 209cm to 241cm: 15.3% improvement

Hugely valuable tools that can be used in all swimming movements

Keep up the great work Georgiy - let's go! 📈💥

🌟 5 star review for our online coaching programme 💥 full review 👉

'I signed up for the online training programme for my daughter, who's a competitive gymnast. The sessions are really fantastic - Lewis explains all the movements well, they're easy to follow in the app and at the foundation level you really do only need minimal equipment (resistance bands, a pull up bar and an exercise mat). However, the real value in the programme is the input from Lewis. We get weekly feedback on technique (I upload videos to the app), and when we hit on something tricky, Lewis provides great progressions and explanations which help her understand how to improve the movement. Since she's only 9, I run the sessions for her, but it's all very easy to follow. I highly recommend the Physical Perfomance Academy for anyone whose children are wanting to improve their results in sports (competitive or not). We've seen a real difference in just 3 months of doing the programme.'

If you and your child can't get to us in person, work with us remotely.
