Absolute Health & Performance

”Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. ” Aristotle

The above couldn't be truer for the Steve and the team at Absolute for the service provided is of excellence, something that comes of ease due to the dedication and hard work they have all put in over the years. I trained with Steve Hissey for a bit over a year and achieved results I didnt think I was capable of achieving. As well as being pushed hard I've also been taught how to train smarter. In addition, the business model of the gym means elite services are available to anyone with no contracts required which means any individual can have world class health professionals at their request.

Great setup and world class facilities for physical conditioning and well being needs. Great staff to help me achieve my training goals in my recovery from injury.

This place is fantastic for all my training and rehab needs. Great staff too, everyone is so friendly and helpful. Can't recommend it enough.

I've been training with Jonny, one of the performance coaches at Absolute, for over 4 months. When we first started working together I had chronic back pain. Jonny has designed a great programme, unique to me, which works on the root causes of my pain. Training is definitely challenging but always fun. He's very good at explaining the technique in a way I can understand too, which means I trust him completely. His encouragement has given me much more confidence and he definitely knows how to get the best out of me. His support extends beyond our set training sessions, with advice to help me get back into running and checking on my progress and recovery throughout the week. He has also worked closely with Joel, the physio, and James, the myotherapist, to coordinate an holistic approach to my health and fitness so that I am virtually back pain free! The progress I've seen in our one to one training sessions, in the small group classes at Absolute and in my running has been brilliant. This is down to Jonny's dedication to give truly personalised coaching and his fun character means I always look forward to training and leave feeling very positive. For his professionalism, encouragement and humour, I couldn't recommend him as a performance coach any more highly. 10/10!

In the short time I've been training with David Smith (co-founder), I have felt completely at ease with his experience, knowledge and insights. His responsiveness to my needs and his attention to detail is second-to-none. And of course, the facilities are fantastic. I likened my experience there as having a gym membership but with the major difference of having an expert build my exercise plan, guide me through my routines and encourage me to grow. Great place, I'd highly recommend.

Absolute Health and Performance is absolutely excellent! I am a current client of absolute for personal training and regular osteopathy, the staff are highly experienced, qualified, really friendly and relaxed. The facilities are brand new, with everything you need - including a tractor tyre for taking your frustrations out on. Thanks guys!

I came to Absolute to find passion for fitness and to try and better my health. I worked with Jonny for 4 months and it was a really amazing expierence. I feel stronger and more confident in myself thanks to Jonny. I would recommend him to anyone. He was supportive and wonderful at communication. Thank you Jonny and the team at Absolute for helping me out!

Professional, extremely knowledgeable, supportive and fun. These are the words that immediately spring to mind when I think of Absolute Health & Performance, co-founder Dave Smith and Absolute's team of professionals.

I have been training with Dave for several years, and at Absolute since it opened its doors in 2016. The team has created a warm, welcoming environment and is focused on helping you achieve your own personal goals while, at all times, making you feel safe and supported.

The holistic approach adopted by the trainers, osteopaths, physiotherapists, massage therapists and myotherapists has been most beneficial for me, particularly during times when I have needed some forms of therapeutic support or treatment.

I cannot recommend Absolute highly enough.

I see James Meredith at Absolute Health and Fitness about once a week. Over the last 12 months, James has helped me get through a shoulder reconstruction and now, with weekly treatment, helps me keeps me virtually injury free. Very professional, would recommend him to anyone who needs treatment.

I've been going to see Dave, one of the personal trainers at Absolute, for the last 6 months and he's been an excellent coach for building my strength and improving my health and fitness. He's been very accommodating to my previous injuries and has helped to build muscle around them. I have recommended his and AF's services to friends and family and can recommend them to you.
