Testimonials

"I have trained with the APTS team for three years. Their core philosophy based on Vo2max training is founded on the latest thinking in sport physiology. Their focus on intensity over volume in my training has allowed me to achieve significant speed improvements in my running at all distances. The coaching team's introduction of new technology such as the Computrainer for cycling has allowed them to more precisely customize my program to meet my needs and allow me to achieve my objectives. I believe this customization, and the analysis they invest in each athlete is a key reason why they and I have been successful".
