"I have only been training with NEP for a short time, in this time I have found them to be supportive, friendly, professional and very understanding.

They are very focused at helping people to achieve their goals. Their work is incredible as well as their determination and drive, training is fun and people are happy!"

"I've been a active member for 1 year now, and I can't recommend them enough. The coaches are fantastic and I love that everything we do is based on sports science. In this time in NEP, I have improved massively i.e. 5k time is now 6 minutes faster. I find all the other members friendly, supportive and welcoming. It's doesn't matter if you back of pack or elite, everyone is treated the same."

"Nothing matches the weekly personalised plan based on analysis of previous training and individual goals. It’s not just the running plan but high quality S&C, stretching and yoga which is unique to NEP. I’ve not met an athlete who has committed to plan not make significant progress in their running"
