press release: Absolute Performance
Absolute Performance and Athlete Academy launch strength and conditioning education partnership
26 Mar 2024
Ed Archer will lead the programme of Level 3 Diploma and workshop courses / Athlete Academy
The Diploma for S&C Trainers is delivered under license from the UK Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA), which is a testament to the quality and rigour of the course.
Ed Archer, Programme Director at Athlete Academy, will lead the partnership’s programme of Level 3 Diploma and workshop courses. With a 25-year career in strength and conditioning and fitness education, Ed brings a wealth of experience to the partnership including time as a director of the UKSCA as well as work with Gloucester Rugby, Formula 1, professional ballet and international polo.
The programme of courses aims to develop a greater understanding of strength and conditioning and the important role it can play in health and wellbeing across the population. The courses are designed for those in coaching or rehabilitation roles, including professionals delivering sport and wellbeing education in schools.
Courses range from single-day workshops and introductory programmes to in-depth, 26-week Diplomas. Students can choose to enrol directly with Athlete Academy or through Absolute Performance, who are offering the courses to its customers at reduced rates.
“We are thrilled to partner with Athlete Academy to offer this range of accredited courses,” said Gary Oleinik, Sales and Marketing Director of Absolute Performance. “We believe that access to quality education is essential for professionals working in the fitness, education, rehabilitation and sports performance space, and we are proud to be able to offer our customers the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge through this partnership.”
Ed Archer added: “Quality and integrity in facility design and the supply of equipment is key to creating positive environments for health and fitness exploration and achievement. We have crossed paths many times with Absolute Performance and their facilities over the past 15 years and have always been impressed with the quality of their products, the kindness and commitment of their team and their aspiration to do the right thing for their customers, regardless of the size of the project. We are very excited about joining forces with the AP team to provide a new and ambitious standard of fitness education.”

"Delivering three elite performance gyms across Paris in a short time frame is no mean feat, but we know Absolute Performance is up to the challenge. They’ve proven their expertise, service, and quality working with Team GB at the last two Olympic Games in Rio and Tokyo, and I have every confidence that Paris 2024 will be even better”

Testimonial
"The AP team also took a no-nonsense approach, with no extra fluff or pressure to add pieces of equipment which we weren’t looking to include. They grasped what we were looking to do with the open, natural feel, whilst wanting the premium equipment when it came to Olympic lifting and strength and conditioning equipment".
