I can't recommend Primed To Perform enough!
I graduated a few years ago but had lost confidence + fitness since then. Having never gone to the gym regularly I was sceptical about whether this was the right option for me, but my apprehension was misplaced!
It has given me structure and routine. It feels like it is carrying me through that transition between drama school and adult life, I wish I had done it sooner. Also, an unexpected element to this, is having someone in your corner.
The industry can feel lonely, but having someone there holds me accountable + it also means there's someone to celebrate my wins with.

Primed To Perform was one of the best decisions I made.
Starting with Primed To Perform was one of the best decisions I made and came at the perfect time. As a dancer, I was dealing with continuous injuries, feeling weak and unprepared at maintaining audition and show fitness.
So, I wanted to invest in not just a PT programme, but one specially tailored to dancers. What also made me choose P2P was how reasonably priced it was, with an initial 6 weeks then an option to continue with a monthly subscription.
Within the first 4 weeks, the improvement my injury made was amazing, after suffering with it for months.

I'm lifting so much heavier than I ever was before!
Since following the programme I have seen significant improvements in my strength, stamina and body composition. I'm lifting so much heavier than I ever was before, with so much more knowledge about technique and form across all exercises.
My knee pain has completely disappeared, I've gained over 7kg of muscle, aerobic capacity has improved significantly and I have a much better understanding nutrition.

Sam Kipling

Primed To Perform offer a truly personalised and thorough service.
I'm really grateful for Ben and Darcy. This programme has given me the tools to kick start me building the body I want.
I always feel like I'm achieving and making progress! I wish I could record all the times my face is shocked when I complete an exercise that I struggled with previously - I truly see the improvements week by week.
I would recommend to EVERYONE!

Honey Gabriel

Signing up to Primed2Perform is absolutely one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I started the programme having had no real experience or interest in going to the gym, but with the goal of making sure I got through an incredibly physically demanding show without injury.
Since starting, I have gained so much more than I first expected. I got through the contract without missing any shows for injury, gained massive confidence in my physique which I never had before, learnt huge amounts on nutrition on how I can fuel myself more efficiently, and really fell in love with looking after my body.

Connor Keetley

I would 100% recommend this programme.
This programme is amazing! Before doing this I have never stuck to the gym regularly and struggled to make progress. But with Primed to perform I've seen incredible change and actual progress!
The workouts are tailored and the regular check ins and feedback are so helpful! Having a coach who is also a performer really helps as there's a different level of understanding and support.

Ruby Dollner

10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an online personal trainer, especially performers.
I am so impressed by the amount of thought and detail put into the training. From each and every exercise laid out plainly to the nutrition side of things, Ben and Darcy have created a training programme well worth every penny.
Ben listens closely to my specific wants and needs and tailors the workouts accordingly. He is always available for message whenever I have a question.

Alexander Gage

It really shook off any anxieties about going to gym.
Having always wanted to get into a decent gym routine and shake the gym anxiety, I've never been able to successfully do this on my own. The personal training plan and support from Ben throughout has really kicked this in the butt and turned training into a more habitual routine.
The thing I enjoy most about the programme is that it's truly personalised, and the amount of contact throughout is amazing. It really shook off any anxieties about going to gym and I already feel way more confident going and doing the exercises (especially with weights).

Chris Draper

I would definitely recommend Primed To Perform!
I've always had a fear of going to the gym and not knowing what to do but I really missed training since graduating.
Primed To Perform has made me feel comfortable and confident being a first time gym goer.
No matter what questions or struggles I had, their continuous support and advice has helped in all aspects of my life and I'm so excited to see what the future holds!

Cameron Padmore

The level of personalisation is stellar.
Working with P2P has been so transformative in how I feel and approach working out and the gym. I feel so much more confident and really understand how to get the most out of my workouts and my nutrition. I can see and feel loads of change, not only physically but mentally and energetically too.
Ben and Darcy are clear, supportive, and friendly - it's a blast! What I enjoy most is how comfortable the programme feels. It's challenging without being overwhelming, especially after past gym experiences that left me unsure I was getting the most out of my sessions. The level of personalisation is stellar.

Jago Mottart

I've fallen back in love with exercising FOR ME
Primed to Perform has been the healthiest, rewarding and challenging (in the best way) plan I have used, and there's been a few dodgy plans in the past! Ben really takes his time getting to know you as a individual before setting your plan, and checks in every 2 weeks to see how you're getting on which is really comforting as a client.
I have seen HUGE improvements in not only my physical appearance but also my mental approach to the gym. I've fallen back in love with exercising FOR ME, and come away from every workout feeling strong, confident and educated.

Orla Brennan

I feel really good inside and out!
I've never had much confidence at the gym, let alone understood how to tailor gym training to suit my performing needs.
But Ben & Darcy have created an AMAZING programme which has built up my knowledge around all things gym & nutrition.
I'm really enjoying it, and in my first 6 weeks I've seen big changes😊💪 I've noticed improvement in my performance and in my body composition & feel more educated around gym/food etc.
I feel really good inside and out - big thank you!!🌟
