If you are looking to harness your endurance capabilities, training for a race or up your levels, look no further. Amazing time this morning testing with Garry, then having the time to breakdown the results and plan next steps. A massive thank you from me and hugely recommended
Garry Palmer provides a professional service with a high level of insight. We attended the Sportstest Performance Centre for testing: the facility is clean, tidy and met all that we would expect. Regarding the tests we undertook, we both learnt a great deal about our bodies and how we use energy. The results were delivered to us by Garry who explained them clearly, gave us directions and guidance and welcomed any questions we had. I highly recommend the Sportstest services. I used Garry as a coach some years ago when I was last active with sports and thus knew of the benefits he brings. My reason for contacting him recently was that in a sport, I have hit a plateau: the session with the tests has provided extremely useful guidance on further training (eg heart rate zones and targets) and nutrition and a route to hitting my targets for the next sporting event.
Had a fantastic experience with Garry and the team doing a fitness test and metabolic test. Very professional, supportive and accommodating to what I needed as an athlete. I’ve come away with all the answers I needed for the next stage in my training which is a huge help. Can’t fault the whole process and great to have this level of experience and knowledge on hand. Thank you
After many years of struggling to get some consistency back in my training I decided to again visit Dr Garry Palmer at Sportstest. After a body composition test and a VO2 test, Garry set me sensible targets and zones to train to. Within just a few weeks I can already feel the improvements and I now have the confidence that I am going in the right direction with Garry’s expert guidance.
I recently had the pleasure of taking part in a Hybrid sports fitness test run by Garry, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. From start to finish, the session was professional, well-structured, and genuinely insightful. Garry clearly knows his stuff – his experience and knowledge of sports science shine through in everything he does and he explained each stage clearly, making sure I understood what we were measuring and why it mattered. What really stood out was the attention to detail. Garry didn’t just provide the raw data – he broke down the results and gave me practical feedback I could actually use to improve my health & performance. His approach is all about progression and helping you reach your potential. If you're serious about your training or just want a benchmark to work from, I’d absolutely recommend booking a session with Garry. Whether you're an athlete, novice , or just passionate about fitness & wellbeing, you’ll walk away with a clear picture of where you're at – and how to get better. Top bloke, brilliant service!
This was only the initial consultation call, even so it was still extremely positive. First of all Garry called exactly on time. This is very important to me as it shows a high level of respect, and builds a lot of trust. During the discussion Garry was very clear about what Sportstest can offer and although he had worked with high performing athletes the focus was totally on what I wanted to achieve and how Garry could help me get there. I'm really looking forward to doing the full triathlon testing, altering my training plan, nutrition and recovery with Garry's guidance. This is step one of a very interesting journey for me. Moving on to the day of analysis, it was fantastic. Don't be put off by the word "Performance" in the title. It is a totally personal day. All the staff were very friendly and everything was done with the athlete as the focus. This was a day of finding your personal level and goals then Garry and the team use their vast knowledge and insight to explain the data and provide recommendations to suit you specifically. A wonderful experience regardless of your personal ability. The swim analysis was just as eye opening, personal and athlete focused as the bike and run sessions. Afterwards I had some very clear steps that I used straight away and saw immediate improvement. At the end of the day I had a folder of info, recommendations, photos and a real sense of achievement and confidence in the next steps I was going to take. I would recommend Sportstest to anyone of any ability no matter what their personal fitness goals. Thanks to everyone at Sportstest
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.
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.
