Fresh new concepts

I began training with Arj following an introduction from a fellow athlete. At the time, I was feeling tired and had lost enthusiasm for running. Arj completely transformed my motivation by introducing fresh concepts and high-quality workouts. The link up with my watch takes away all the hassle of planning. The S+C and stretching has definitely helped too.
Having regular meetings with Arj about training plans and upcoming races has been invaluable. Under his guidance, I’ve achieved target times in 5K and 10K races while running fewer miles than before.
Arj possesses exceptional knowledge, strong motivational skills, and creates training plans that has truly delivered results for me. I’m grateful for his support and expertise—thank you, Arj.

Performance Physique Review

Arj has been great in supporting my aspirations to become a professional cricketer. He’s provided physical and mental support ranging from gym sessions, sprint technique sessions and post-game video calls, in order to help me. I’ve seen brilliant results in-game including increased bowling and running speeds which have left me feeling very confident.

Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Arj has been fantastic to me since the first day I reached out. I'm training for my first Marathon and unfortunately, I succumbed to an injury which has meant changing my whole training plan. Arj was amazing in getting me in to see him and then pointing me on the right path going forward. It doesn't end there though, as every time I have reached out to Arj since (It's been a lot) he has instantly replied and given me all the advice and more, that I have needed. I can't recommend Arj enough and will definitely be using him again!

Friday Night Track Club & marathon training

I came along to Friday Night Track Club about 8 months ago and was so welcomed by Arj and the other members. The atmosphere was very relaxed, fun and encouraging for all abilities - I have not looked back. I was a regular runner before entering various events but took quite a casual approach to training and track club helped me realise that Arj could help me improve and got me excited running again. I have since signed up with Arj as a coach for a marathon programme and now beyond. Arj works out a plan for me around my random shift work which keeps me accountable and really challenges me. Injury prevention exercises and detailed run paces make me feel like I will be running for a long time and pushing my limits throughout my 40s.
In the past I frequently wondered what times I could achieve if I trained properly but presumed my PB days were behind me as I age however Arj has pushed me to get my fastest times in all the distances I’ve entered so far! Arj listens as a coach and has adapted my sessions around my life - something which a pre-written plan never does. If you’re wondering what you can do with your running or have a goal in mind sign up, I am so pleased I made the commitment!

Fantastic Coach

Arj at is a top-notch performance sports coach. I have had the privilege of working alongside him and being coached by him, his knowledge across all aspects of coaching is truly impressive. Regardless of your sport or ambitions Arj’s expertise shows through his ability to create personalised training programs that cater to individual needs. His passion for coaching, whether you’re an athlete or someone trying to be healthier is evident in his motivating coaching style.

I highly recommend Arj and the team at Performance Physique.

Exceptional Training Experience for My Son at Performance Physique!

My son attended the training program with Arj and his team at Performance Physique, and it has been a fantastic experience! The level of attention and personalized coaching Arj provided has not only improved my son's running skills but also boosted his confidence tremendously. He thoroughly enjoyed every session and always looked forward to the next. The positive environment and the professional yet friendly approach taken by Arj made all the difference. We are so grateful for this wonderful training opportunity and highly recommend Arj’s coaching to any parent considering it for their child.

Arj is an amazing coach

Arj is an amazing coach, a true professional. My son,(a non runner) has gained so much over the last year with improvements in his strength, stamina and flexibility.
I genuinely don’t think that you would find a better coach.

Arj is a great coach, motivated and has a great way with the kids. The group is friendly, has a range of abilities but all are included and encouraged and Arj makes it fun but pushes them to improve at the same time. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, this person appears to have mistaken us for another company. We've not worked with a John Memmen and despite supplying Trustpilot with a full range of evidence including IP address matching, they chose to keep the review live despite no responses from the individual to their outreach. I wish John all the best.

Great support from Arj

Arj has worked with me over last 6 months and has been great in terms of the knowledge and tools required to improve performance. Will continue to use Arj for 1 to 1 sessions as they are invaluable too. Would definitely recommend Arj, a great coach and person.
