Performance Physique Running & Performance Coach, Nutritionist - Solihull

I would 100% recommend Arj! I recently took a lactate test with Arj. He showed great care and attentiveness by suggesting to move our original test date due to poor weather conditions, he really wanted to ensure I had a fair test and that I got the most accurate data, a true scientist! He was charismatic, enthusiastic about his work and personable! Arj went above and beyond with the information and further help he gave me regarding my training and tips to improve! Not forgetting to mention the price was fair. If you're thinking about using performance physiques services, DO NOT HESITATE and book them up ASAP!

Age 44, Solihull
3 Month Coaching Programme
Start: 03Jan2022 – Finish: 03Apr2022
Target Goal: Manchester 2022 Marathon

Like many “self-coached” amateur runners I have always wondered about entering a full marathon but concern about preparation and finishing to the best of my ability has always stopped me from achieving this goal.

The 12-week coaching programme provided by Arj and his team has provided me the expert guidance and support, all personalised and tailored towards my needs and goals. From the weekly running plan, nutrition advice and online consultations I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Arj and look forward to my first marathon this coming Sunday in Manchester.

I have learnt so many things about my own abilities during this programme, surprised myself and possibly Arj too on a number of occasions! The improvement and progression I have seen would simply not have been possible without this coaching programme, it is exceptional value for any runner looking for one to one training.

I would thoroughly recommend Performance Physique, thank you Arj!

Arj is a great personal coach, he has helped me from injury to marathon in 8 months. I didn't need a full package access to a coach who texts daily and are involved a lot but just a coach who uploads my personalised training week by week and sometimes responds to my weekly reflection if needed. Arj is the only one i found that provides that "in between" service. This has helped transform my running to understand injuries more and to embed Strength and Conditioning to my routine. Kudos Arj!

Fitness sessions ran by Arj are brilliant. Arj demonstrates what he wants you to do and is great at responding to individual needs. Classes are fun, energetic, light hearted, challenging and adaptive. Every week was different. I loved being apart of an amazing group where I pushed myself and my fitness improved. Arj has a real understanding of how to get the rest out of everyone and how everyone can meet personal goals. Highly recommend.

I am very pleased to write a testimonial for Arj. I got to know him early 2019 when I signed up for a triathlon and was looking for a personal trainer. At that time I was not doing any regular exercise and hardly run outdoors. I could hardly swim half a length of a pool. Arj gradually introduced training in preparation to my sprint triathlon. He encouraged and helped me to overcome my inhibition about running outdoors. With all the training and advice I managed to do two sprint triathlons in Sept/Oct 2019.
Arj has a wealth of knowledge about physical training, especially running. His passion is apparent during our conversations during training. I have learnt a lot from him about training, nutrition and recovery from injuries. He is very friendly and empathetic towards any issues you may have.
I strained my back while abroad on 2 incidents and I was still able to get advice from Arj on whatsapp. When I was back in UK, Arj introduced me to specific stretching and lacrosse ball for trigger point massage/rehab. This helped me to get back to my regular training within no time.
Arj adapts to the clients goals and needs. He would see me at a gym or running tracts based on my choice or simply train at home for an early start at 6:30am. He also did online training when the COVID19 forced us into social distancing.
I very highly recommend Arj as a personal training coach. His approach and training methods are highly commendable. All the best Arj for all your future endeavours.

I first started working with Performance Physique through Friday Night Track Club a few years ago, which was a great way to meet people having fun and start thinking more about running technique.

Then, last summer, as I felt my performance plateau, I thought I would try to get more out by signing up to the premium coaching service with weekly one to one sessions on top of the Friday Track Club.

The program started with Arj getting to know me more personally, my goals and what I thought was holding me back. The program involved baseline and regular progress measures and a steady measurable progression in intensity and volume through a structured weekly plan.

The results:
- Faster times (5k, 10k and Cross Country so far)
- Fewer injuries
- Fewer pounds
- More strength

More importantly I have coach who is a friend and really cares about my progress in and around running.

I have been attending Performance Physique's Zoom fitness class for the last two years and really look forward to it each week. Arj is motivational, gives personalised feedback and is consistently supportive and approachable. He creates enjoyable varied classes that make you feel positive and stronger. A great coach!

I go to the Friday night tack club whenever I can, and I have to say that Arj is a great coach! I really didn’t like running and about a year ago, but with the track club I started enjoying it. The Friday night track club is for all sorts of abilities I would say, as I’m not the greatest, and I never feel like I’m behind or not able, we always get great positive encouragement and all the running routines that we do are adaptable to whatever your abilities are. We also learn about running techniques, which I found really helpful for when I run by myself.
Also one last thing that has really helped me! Arj has a channel on instagram and he does 4 minute workouts and the “parkrun” one shows how to prepare for a run, and I found it really helpful not to have aches and pains that would otherwise have/used to have.
