My name is Spencer Brown, I am the founder and Director of Peak Performance Centre of Excellence Ltd (www.ppcoe.co.uk). We are specialists in physical conditioning and injury rehabilitation using the science, practice and principles of Strength & Conditioning (S&C).

Why have I decided to blog? I have been known on occasion to rant. Nothing unusual about that, but a few days ago I found myself ranting the same rant to everyone I came into contact with that day! So to save my clients, my partner and the dog from anymore outbursts, I decided to start a blog where I could share my frustrations with anyone who wanted to read them.

So here it is ...my first ever blog!

No I'm not going to rant, instead I will just explain a little more about what we do at Peak Performance (PPCOE), after which you may discover why I get frustrated from time to time.

At PPCOE we take individuals of all abilities and make them perform their sport better. We use sound proven principles of training with no gimmicks, flashy equipment, latest fads or expensive misleading marketing campaigns. Simply, if you participate in sport you need to be fit for that sport!

I've lost count the number of times I say this to people...maybe I should come up with another analogy? Your body, like your car, is your transport and is subjected to wear and tear so it's vitally important that you look after it. PPCOE has developed a comprehensive Functional Assessment procedure which can identify muscle imbalance, weakness and flexibility issues. All our clients get regulary assessed, along with other tests, to ensure they remain injury free and are able to train effectively. Therefore, look after your body...you only get one!

At PPCOE we don't tell you what you want to hear... we tell you straight! The internet, magazines, newspapers and television can be full of complete nonsense when it comes to health, fitness and exercise. Here at PPCOE we will help you sort the good (sometimes really great stuff) from the bad (frequently loads of it) and get you training, eating and living your life properly.

I hope now you understand a little more about how we go about things at PPCOE. We like to keep things simple, build upon good foundations and take it from there. There's no need to re-invent the wheel!

Please feel free to ask questions or challenge me about anything...a good debate (or rant) is healthy.

That's it for now and I hope you enjoy my blog posts.
