Really informative session and I think this explains a lot of why I feel low and dizzy after training session.

Trying to get better at long distance running and realising that it’s not just food/carb intake but salt also plays a vital part of the training/recovery and racing. I use Precision Hydration and who better to test me here in central London. Richard was very easy to talk too, he knows what he is doing and explains the process very thoroughly, which didn’t take long and the process was pleasant. Thank you Richard, I will let you know how I get on in my next races.

Richard was amazing! I went to him for a sweat test due to some health issues and he very patiently explained the testing process and my results. I feel armed with the right information going forward and would happily recommend him to others!

I’ve gone to Richard for treatment and rehab after sports injuries, and he’s always been really knowledgeable and easy to work with. He made it much easier to stay on track with the programme. Would definitely recommend!

I’ve been training with Richard for a couple years now and cannot recommend him enough. As for the gym, it’s in a great location and is well outfitted with everything required.
