Whether you want to improve your sporting performance, get stronger, become more powerful or simply better understand your physical capabilities, SPEAR Performance can help.
We combine objective performance testing, personalised exercise programming, Strength & Conditioning and body composition assessment to help you understand where you are now and what you need to work on next.
Our services are for everyone who wants to improve their physical performance, from people who enjoy training and staying active through to competitive and professional athletes.
You don’t need to play a sport to benefit from Performance testing.
If you’re generally active, regularly train or simply want to understand and improve your physical capabilities, we can assess a range of performance domains to build an overall physical profile.
This can include areas such as strength, power, reactive strength, balance and side-to-side differences, with the assessment tailored to your individual goals.
If you participate in a particular sport, your assessment can be tailored to the physical qualities that matter most for that activity.
We can provide sport-specific Performance Assessments for football, golf, running, dance and other sports and activities, selecting the most appropriate testing battery based on the physical demands of your sport and your individual goals.
Using VALD performance technology alongside gym and field-based testing, we select the tests most relevant to you and what you want to achieve.
60-Minute Performance Assessment | £90
Recommended for your first assessment.
A comprehensive assessment allowing us to evaluate multiple physical qualities and build a detailed picture of your current performance.
45-Minute Performance Assessment | £75
A more focused assessment particularly suited to repeat testing, monitoring progress and smaller testing batteries.
Performance testing provides objective information about your current physical capabilities and helps identify your strengths and areas for development.
Your assessment can take one of two approaches:
The tests we use are selected according to your goals and the physical qualities most relevant to you.
How much force can you produce?
How explosively can you produce force?
How effectively can you produce force during fast, reactive movements?
How effectively can you control and maintain your position?
Are there differences between your left and right sides?
How quickly can you accelerate and move?
How effectively can you decelerate, redirect and re-accelerate?
How well can you meet the physical demands of your activity or sport?
We use industry-leading VALD performance technology to objectively assess physical qualities including strength, power, balance, reactive strength and side-to-side differences.
Our technology includes:
ForceDecks
ForceFrame
NordBord
DynaMo
SmartSpeed
The technology gives us the data. We use that information to help identify what matters and guide what you do next.
Following your Performance Assessment, we can develop a personalised exercise programme based on your results and goals.
Your programme provides a clear and structured plan targeting the physical qualities identified through your assessment.
Complete the programme independently or combine it with our 1:1 Strength & Conditioning service for additional coaching and support.
Our Strength & Conditioning service provides individual coaching based around your goals and current physical capabilities.
Whether you want to become stronger, faster, more powerful or more robust, your training is individually tailored and focused on helping you improve.

Where appropriate, our Physiotherapy and Performance teams can work together to support your progression from injury through rehabilitation, objective testing and physical development.
