Supporting the
whole athlete

Motion’s Development Project gives ambitious athletes access to support often associated with elite sport, from coaching and strength and conditioning to recovery, physiotherapy and performance testing.

Based at The Farm Club, it brings specialists together around each athlete. Perform180 contributes physiological testing and practical insight, working alongside The Injury & Performance Clinic to help athletes understand their fitness, guide training and track progress.
