Prepare
When an athlete starts training with Advance they are welcomed into a community of like minded athletes, each with their own designated coach/mentor.
Progress
Once we are happy that an athlete has reached competency in the fundamental movements, they are ready to move into a more specific strength and conditioning environment based on their individual goals.
Perform
It may take an athlete years to get to the perform stage of our programme, providing them with a huge amount of structure and more one to one attention to create a periodised programme designed specifically for the athlete’s chosen sport.

What they say

Advance are an external support company for our academy at AFC Wimbledon. They provide expert advice and guidance for the sports science department, consulting on the physical curriculum and providing CPD to our sports scientists. The academy sends players to Advance for additional individualised physical development work. They have excellent expertise, a high level of knowledge and coaching abilities, and are able to develop areas that are sports specific.
– Jenna Richards (Sports Science and Medicine Manager at AFC Wimbledon Football Club)
Advance provide our Elite Athlete Programme (EAP) with a high quality, online strength and conditioning programme. The students really enjoy having access to their own portal detailing their training programme, wellness questionnaire and previous test results. The support we receive from their team is invaluable especially the help they have provided on up-skilling our PE staff. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve the physical preparation of their talented athlete cohort.
