PB Performance + Health

We know what you’re thinking… Paddy, put those dogs away. Just kidding, we promise there is a scientific reason he’s not wearing shoes 🙌🏻

For selected court, field and running based athletes we integrate barefoot training to enhance their:

Enhanced proprioception: Direct ground contact increases sensory input from the plantar surface, improving spatial awareness and rapid postural adjustments.

Greater intrinsic foot + lower-limb activation: Reduced external support requires higher force output from stabilising muscles, improving mechanical efficiency.

Neuromuscular efficiency: Increased sensory feedback enhances motor-unit recruitment, coordination, and reaction time.

If your training has plateaued or you’re looking for a more evidence-based approach, we offer comprehensive testing and personalised programming for non-members.

Humans are creatures of habit, but in nutrition, fixed routines can be a disadvantage. Because training load varies day to day, energy intake should adapt accordingly.

Increased volume or intensity elevates metabolic demand, meaning you require higher energy and carbohydrate availability to maintain glycogen stores, support performance, and optimise recovery.

Carbohydrates are the key macronutrient to adjust, as they are the body’s primary fuel source for moderate to high-intensity exercise and directly influence energy availability. Small, targeted changes to your intake can meaningfully improve training outcomes.

At PB, we take a holistic, evidence-based approach, tailoring programs to the individual and collaborating with other qualified professionals when needed to support all aspects of health and performance.

These exercises may not look like the “coolest”, but they build the solid foundation young athletes need to grow safely and sustainably.

At our facility, every junior athlete receives the proper guidance, support, and coaching, not shortcuts or rushed results. All athletes aged 16 and under train exclusively under the supervision of our qualified strength and conditioning coaches, who are there to teach, guide, and protect them.

If you’d like to tour our facility with your young athlete, send us a message or email to book an appointment. We’d love to welcome them into our supportive environment and help them build a long, healthy, and successful athletic career.

Having the proper support around you can make or break your athletic journey 🙌🏻

A standard workout plan won’t make you the best version of yourself, but tailored, evidence-based guidance will.
Our university-qualified Exercise Physiologists and Strength & Conditioning Coaches use the GRADE tool (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) to assess the strength and certainty of evidence in every decision we make. That means every recommendation is based on science and backed by experience so that you can train smarter, not just harder.

Athletes, want to know a secret?

Talent isn’t enough. Yep, you read that right.
Competing at a professional level or within a successful club or team takes more than natural ability. Modern athletes must pair their talent with Exceptional work ethic, mental toughness, discipline, resilience, strong character and teamwork. These qualities are what separate good athletes from great ones. Helping you outwork equally talented peers and thrive under pressure. Don’t ease off just because the year’s ending! Book your end-of-year performance testing to set your 2026 goals, or become a member and let us help you train to be your strongest yet.
