OUR TESTIMONIALS
“I would highly recommend Athletic Academy to any kids who are keen to work on their general fitness and athleticism and improve their general sporting performance. My boys have loved their sessions and I have noticed a significant improvement in their confidence and enjoyment in sport as a result. The coaches are all friendly, fun and extremely encouraging regardless of the baseline level of fitness. Well worth the investment!”
“The athlete academy helped my son recover from persistent issues with Severs Disease through strengthening, education and regular monitoring. I really saw a difference in his overall strength and confidence on the football pitch.
A great way to introduce kids to strength and conditioning training in a safe and controlled environment, learning skills for life.”
“Rob provides a fantastic opportunity for youth athletic development by offering his expertise and experience.
He is friendly, approachable and have a depth of understanding of how our young wanna be athletes need to fill the gap where the school/club system may under prepare them in their physical development. Thank you. We will be back.“
“Athlete Academy is my son’s favourite place to be. Trainers are so helpful, knowledgeable and supportive - they not only guide you what equipments to use and how but also help you keep track of healthy habits. I will highly recommend every parent to consider their child to have a session or two with Rob and his trainers to keep your child’s healthy habits and growth in check.”
