PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES

"As a coach firstly I think Tappers' knowledge is second to none, though this phrase gets thrown around too often I truly believe he is! He has a kind heart and will always think of his players/clients before any session commences. He is very easy to get on with and we would often discuss things unrelated to training and playing rugby which helped me develop as a person. The work we did help to set the foundations for me to be able to kick on from a schoolboy to an international player. Training never felt like a chore and he would take time outside of club training to give me as much support and help as possible!"

"Can’t speak highly enough of Areté. World class facilities along with dedicated, detailed, and highly individualised coaching, encouraging fun alongside improvement. Would highly recommend for anyone seeking performance gains, from entry level to elite athletes."

"Arete is a high quality training group that allow you to flourish whether you are a full time professional athlete like myself, or someone looking to better themselves physically in day to day life. Since joining Arete and gaining access to the top class coaching on offer, my training goals and habits have improved ten-fold

The team at Areté Performance have been vital in keeping me in shape during injury and any periods of time off in my season. Being a professional athlete I need to be working with the best and I certainly have found it here. Thanks so much for your continued support!

"Tom & the arête training team are one of the best I have worked with at helping me develop my speed and agility as a professional athlete which is very important to my game. What sets Areté apart from others is their ability to help you improve through the finest details, including the importance of man management. Tom understands how to get the best out of you specifically as all athletes are different, you really feel how much he and the team cares. The sessions are very enjoyable, whilst also getting you working hard and learning a lot about yourself. They will always go that extra inch to help you improve, which is surprisingly hard to find in professional sport."

"Huge thanks to Areté Performance who helped sharpen me up as I stepped back into the Rugby world. They have been part of my journey since I was 15 years old and know me as a person and athlete and how to get me performing at my best."
