The Performance Lab

We speak to people looking to join The Performance Lab every day, and more often than not, they all have one thing in common.

They want to stay strong enough to keep doing the things they enjoy, not just now, but in 5, 10 or 20 years’ time.

Maybe they’ve noticed things getting a bit harder than they used to. Getting up and down off the floor, working in the garden, keeping up with the grandkids or simply getting through the day without feeling as stiff or tired.

They know they need to do something about it, but aren’t always sure where to start.

Some have tried gyms before and felt out of their depth. Others have tried different classes, or have put it off altogether because they’re worried they won’t be able to keep up.

That’s where we come in.

At The Performance Lab, you’re not left to figure things out on your own. Our coaches guide you through every session, help you build strength at your own pace and make sure you feel comfortable from day one.

No need to know what you’re doing before you walk through the door. That’s our job.

We work with people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond who want to feel stronger, move better and keep doing the things that matter to them.

Because getting older is inevitable. Losing your strength doesn’t have to be.

If you’ve been thinking about getting started but aren’t sure where to begin, drop us a message.

We’d be happy to have a chat.

🏆 Member of the Month – September | Padraig 👏

September’s Member of the Month is Padraig.

Between a busy family life, work and everything else going on, Padraig continues to bring a brilliant attitude and plenty of dedication to his training.

His strength gains have been excellent, his latest InBody results are impressive, and if there’s one thing you can guarantee in an SGPT session, it’s that Padraig knows exactly what he lifted last week, what he’s lifting this week and what he needs to beat next time! 📈

The attention to detail with tracking his lifts, alongside the consistency he brings to every session, is clearly paying off.

A well-deserved bit of recognition for all the work he’s putting in.

Well done! 💪 👏

Schools back..

We feel your pain..🤣

🏆 MEMBERS OF THE SUMMER MONTHS; JUNE, JULY & AUGUST! 🏆

We’ve had some cracking winners over the last few months, so it’s time to give them the recognition they deserve! 👏

💪 AUGUST — BRIAN MCWILLIAMS

At 81 years young, Brian is possibly our oldest and definitely one of our happiest members! Three sessions every week without fail, putting in the work and enjoying every second of it. He may throw the odd insult at the coaches… but we’ll let him away with it! 😂 An absolute legend of the Performance Lab community.

Three very different members, but all showing what we love, consistency, hard work, positivity and enjoying the process.

Congratulations Jim, Corie & Brian! 🏆👏

🔥 JULY — CORIE HARKNESS

What a push towards the wedding! Corie trained her socks off, kept her nutrition on point and still managed to enjoy FIVE hen parties! 🥂 She even squeezed in those early morning sessions when its not her usual cup of tea. Hard work, consistency and finding the balance, absolutely deserved! 👏

🌟 JUNE — JIM EASTWOOD

Jim is one of those members who makes the gym a better place. Always walking through the doors with a smile, working hard and making everyone feel welcome. Friendly, chatty and always up for a bit of craic, exactly the kind of energy we love at The Performance Lab! 💪

🔥 THE LONG HAUL | THAT’S A WRAP 🔥

A couple of days on and hopefully everyone’s starting to feel slightly more human again..

Saturday was some day at The Performance Lab as we took on The Long Haul in support of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.

12 hours.
4 disciplines.
150km.
A lot of tired legs.

🚴 20km Bike
🚣 10km Row
🎿 10km Ski
🏃 10km Run

Every hour, on the hour, for 12 hours.

A huge congratulations to Adrian and Gerard, who completed all 12 hours. 150km between the four disciplines is some effort and we’re sure they’ve enjoyed the last couple of days of recovery!

A special shout out to Mark McCann, who completed 6 hours, and Neal Ruddock & David Graham who completed 4 hours. Serious graft from both of you.

And of course, a massive thank you to everyone who took part throughout the day. Every hour was packed with people getting involved, pushing themselves and supporting the challenge. The atmosphere around the gym all day made the event what it was.

The best part is that we’ve now raised over £3,500 for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. 🙌

The final total will be confirmed over the next few days, but to everyone who donated, took part, supported, shared the fundraiser or simply came down on the day, thank you.

It was a brilliant day and we’re delighted with how it went.

If you’d still like to donate, the GoFundMe is still open through the link.

We’re taking these complaints very seriously 😤
