Head of Coaching & Development, England Athletics
“Core Cambridge's facility is excellent — it offers a perfect environment to develop athletic performance. It's fantastic to see them progressing the level of support coaching that is available in the UK. Their combination of exercise and education is exactly what's needed to maximise performance and reduce injury and their use of individualised assessment, planning, training and expert coaching should appeal to everyone looking to maximise their own potential, whatever their level or experience.”
Chris Jones
Head of Marketing & Strategy, England Athletics
“The resources provided at Core Cambridge are second to none in providing athletes and coaches with both the environment and guidance they require to excel at the very highest level. I am impressed by the committment, energy and expertise that the team provide and we are delighted to be working with them to provide coach workshops and modules during the forthcoming months.”
Gil Stevenson
Chairperson, UKSCA
“Your approach is exactly what we need to have more of in the UK. Your facility and the professional expert leadership you aspire to provide is a major asset to sportspeople in your area. It is encouraging to see you providing a very worthwhile alternative to the plethora of mediocrity which tends to be provided by the wider leisure providers. I trust it will not be too long before members of the public and corporate businesses also discover the health and financial benefits of the exercise opportunities you provide”
Dan Gordon
Senior Lecturer, Exercise Physiology
“Core Cambridge provide that unique link between the applied work of a strength and conditioning coach and science. They underpin all of their approaches with a well founded scientific rationale. The expertise that this team brings to the client and team is tremendous and all athletes should be encouraged to experience the Core way.”
Selina Fox
Athletics Development Officer for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough
“If you want to be a step ahead of the rest, I would recommend the Core Cambridge team to you. Back-to-basics, no gimmicks, no expensive high-tech equipment, just pure results.”
Sam Buck
Head Coach, Cambridge Dive Team
“Core Cambridge have been very influential in our strength and conditioning programme providing a truly expert approach and knowledge base that is second to none. They have not only worked with individuals on rehabilitation and postural corrections which have increased the efficiency of the divers training, but have also become an integral part of developing the future of conditioning within the sport of springboard diving”
Dr Julie Gabriel
Vice President, GB Savate Federation
“All of the feedback from our fighters has been very good! I must also say how impressed I was by the professionalism and attention to detail carried out by you and your staff, and especially with regards to the musculo—skeletal screenings.”
Christine Sprowell

“The service that Core Cambridge has provided to the University Rugby Club has been very much appreciated and this is typified by their excellent levels of coaching, and the strength and fitness that the players and coaches exhibited in the Varsity matches. There are significantly fewer overuse injuries during the season which has been attributed to their care in prevention and a graded program tailored to the individual needs of the athletes. I am sure that other sports men and women could benefit form their advice and that they are a great asset to promoting excellence in sport in Cambridge.”
Paul Hughes
Director of Rugby, Cambridge RUFC
“I feel that the strength & conditioning foundation that Core Cambridge has implemented for our squad is pivotal for our performance in National 2 rugby this season”
John Evans
Head Coach/ General Manager CUARLFC
RFL Coach Educator
“The area of strength & conditioning has long been recognized by our sport as being fundamental to peak performance. We believe that the sport-specific training our players receive from Core Cambridge will set them up to be among the best prepared student rugby league players in the country.”

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Core Cambridge to any sports person who wishes to improve their performance, or to any person who has been advised to undergo a back stabilisation & strengthening programme. Their staff and facilities are excellent and most importantly they apply a progressive and evidence-based approach which delivers results.”
Ollie Batts
Director & Senior Instructor
Cambridge Academy of Martial Arts®
“One of the problems in martial arts training is that many instructors are still bound and bogged down by the old-fashioned indoctrinations and traditions of their system. Sport science, however, has no such constraints and, in recent years especially, has made some tremendous advances. Core Cambridge are at the forefront in these modern-day training methods. We have no hesitation, therefore, in recommending anyone involved in physical activity (of any kind) to learn from, and take advantage of, the cutting-edge knowledge and training that Core can provide.”
Lucy Spray, Will Rice
2007-2008 Captains, CU Athletics Club
“Core Cambridge is proving to be incredibly beneficial for the CUAC athletes — the individual attention is fantastic!”
“The arrival of Core Cambridge was great news for us because it provides coaching and facilities of a standard that we didn't have access to. I have been very impressed by the attention that they pay to each individual in the the training, and all my athletes have responded well to their sessions.”

“ I visited Core Cambridge with reservation and left with confidence in their ability to motivate and condition my athletes. I have never felt the need to oversee what they are doing with my athletes; they are well researched and up-to-date whilst able to apply imagination. They also work alongside the periodized judo specific programme that I have written for each player whilst focussing on each individual's strengths and weaknesses. Overall I would say they have saved me many hours supervising athletes in the gym, they do a much better job than I would and help in programme design by giving me feedback on players progress and suggesting ideas for training session, I would summarise them as professional, friendly, forward thinking and essential!”
Sally Stanhope
Sports Development Manager
Cambridge City Council
“The Cambridge City Council sports development service considers this to be an excellent provision for the City. There has been a substantial need for this type and format of facility — It will be a massive boost for the area leading up to and post Olympic games in 2012, as many nations are going to be accessing training facilities in the area from 2010.”
Jane Lampshire
Sports Development Officer
South Cambridgeshire District Council
“Core Cambridge offers an exciting opportunity for sports clubs & athletes of all levels within our area. It is fantastic to see them dissemenating their elite-level information and techniques to grass-roots sport & schools within our district and I welcome the fact that they are so eager to share this with our local community.”
