It's been another incredibly busy week at Sportstest Towers, so again apologies for my later than planned email and any typos, but I'm rushing to get this out before I've got another day of testing ahead of me….yes on a Saturday!

We are loving helping Sue, but the key message here is we are not just for athletes!

Anyone who is on a journey to improve health; "fitness"; longevity and looking to boost healthspan can benefit from the bespoke set of assessments we can offer.

Yesterday I visited SportsTest for what I thought would be a simple VO₂ max test—and came away with life-changing insights. Dr Garry Palmer’s science-backed assessments revealed that I actually need to move more slowly and eat more, especially protein. For the first time, I feel like I have pe...

💜 And here she is showing us all how to get it done…

Some athletes love to train but shy away from race day… and that was true for our Hazel - until now!

After years of consistent training and building fitness, Garry encouraged her to try something new - and 🤩, did she rise to the challenge!

After joining a local hybrid gym, stepping out of her comfort zone, and just competed in women’s open doubles!

Not only Ccushing it alongside her race partner, but she made her coach incredibly proud. A brilliant example of how the right support, belief, and guidance can unlock potential…

Well done

💜Client Spotlight! Big congratulations to Tom… an awesome performance at Great Birmingham Run also, clocking 1:28:54 for the half marathon distance.

🤝While not formally coached by Garry, he’s had testing and now consistently come in monthly for body composition checks, and taken on board advice and the results are showing.

Tom, already lean, has dropped 4kg of non essential fat. 💥

👏It’s always rewarding to see athletes and clients putting science into action and smashing their goals. Can’t wait to see what happens with his marathon later on in the season.

💜We could not be more proud of coached client Becky… she smashed out 38:27 at Birmingham 10k 🏃‍♀️ she was 6th over all and 2nd in her AG and a blooming PB by 18 secs… which earns her an England Vest!!

💜 Juggling full time work and 2 young children she works with Garry to work smarter in her training and not harder…

Congratulations Becky - so well deserved!

🐣Today is traditionally a day of reflection & rest… and maybe resisting the urge to “smash out a 10k” - “do that extra hyrox circuit”

💥 To all our athletes, runners, cyclists, triathletes, hyroxers and boxers, we know sacrifice is your middle name… you’ve already given up lie-ins, late nights and the odd toenail

🫵 Today can be a chance to pause, breathe and remember rest is also part of the plan too!

🍰 Of course for some, getting out and doing what we love, is a reward in itself… 🚴 🏃🏋️‍♀️🥊🚶‍♀️‍➡️🤼‍♀️🤸‍♂️⛷️

💜 Who was out racing this weekend?

💪 We know Jane was, she was at the West Lancashire Triathlon but was doing the Aquathlon.

⭐️ She was first in her age category and 4th lady!

In Jane’s words “ I’m gobsmacked.. Really chuffed!” 🚀

🤝 Don’t leave your training to chance. Get tested, use real stats and get a coach who isn’t gobsmacked but is as chuffed as his athletes performances!

💜 We’ve really enjoyed setting up our Body Composition Station at CrossFit Telford!
🤝 A big thankyou to Jason and Kirsty for letting us use your space -it has been great working your clients and athletes. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

💜 Why do we do this? Because it is important to actually see what’s working.
💪 Understanding your data and having a training plan that delivers real results is key you deserve to know that the amazing effort you’re putting in is paying off and to feel confident that you’re improving in the right ways for your body and your goals. It’s not about guessing or relying on what you think might be happening it’s about clear measurable progress.

💜Would you like  your own gym office facility to benefit from this kind of set up?
🚨If so, get in touch with Donna at the office we’d love to bring the same value to your community.
