Established in 2001 by highly qualified exercise physiologists, STAR Health & Performance is an exercise consultancy that provides specialist training, advice and research for personal training, sports conditioning and corporate wellness.

We operate predominantly in the Chichester and Bognor area but provide services across West Sussex and Hampshire.

We have access to a wide range of training facilities and can also provide services at your chosen location.

Passionately client focused and dedicated to delivering results, we have an excellent reputation for providing our clients with quality exercise solutions that are specifically designed for your needs.

what we offer
It's easy to call yourself a personal trainer, a sports conditioning expert or a life coach. It's relatively easy to get some kind of qualification and to present a credible image. So it's hardly surprising that there appear to be a bewildering number of companies offering the 'best' health and fitness services.

But the truth couldn't be more different. In a market flooded with gyms, trainers, recommended methods, programmes and specialists, finding real experts for the individual that you are, is extremely difficult.

It's about finding well qualified and experienced professionals who work together with you, for you and fully commit to you as wholly as you commit to them. Who know that realising your ultimate potential involves providing you with advice based on sound scientific principles and an enjoyable experience that is created, uniquely, for you; professionals who know that from a big joint effort come results far, far greater that the sum of its parts: inspiring results; rewarding results. And, more often than not, amazing results.

It's all too easy to claim, isn't it? Almost too good to be true...? After all, who in the world would put in the time and effort and attention to get the very best from all their clients, whatever their level of fitness and whatever their potential...? Let alone at an affordable price?

Welcome to the world of STAR Health & Performance.

you're in good hands . . .
