Colin Bryce - Great Britain Bobsleigh Team

I spent 16 weeks training for the Winter Olympics with the Frappier Acceleration Programme at Sport Dimensions and I was running faster than at any time before.

Disaster struck on the 30th of August, during a bobsleigh run I broke my ankle. I thought my chance of making the Olympic Squad were gone. I left hospital on September 1st with nine metal screws and a six inch plate in my foot, with the surgeons words in my ears, "you will be lucky to walk by Christmas".

After a few days of feeling sorry for myself, I hobbled to the Gym, crutches and cast, and hit the weights. After a second operation to remove the screws, there were just 10 weeks to the Olympic trials in December. I turned to Mike Antoniades and Sport Dimensions to try and get me fit.

We spent the first three weeks teaching me to walk again, doing a lot of back pedal and forward walking. It was a slow and painful process and it took four weeks before I could start running. I made the Olympic Trials in December and beat two other members to make the Olympic team.

I would never have made it on my own, the dedication and encouragement by Mike and the coaches at Sport Dimensions pulled me through. I am now stronger and faster than I was before the accident. I whole heartily recommend Sport Dimensions to anyone who wants to get faster and stronger.

Tracey Smedley - Over 35 1500m World Champion

After being injured in a car accident and not running for many years, I decided to start running competitively again. I came to Sport Dimensions to increase my Speed. They designed a programme specifically to my needs and allowed me to train around my work commitments. The sessions were tough and demanding but very enjoyable. It culminated with me winning the Gold medal at the veteran World Championships in Brisbane Australia.

Don Hutchinson, West Ham & Scotland

West Ham sent me down to Sport Dimensions when I was stepping-up my rehabilitation and they were pretty impressed with the results. I only spent a couple of weeks on their programme, but it was extremely beneficial.

Susie McLoughlin – GB Athlete (400m Hurdles)

“The training I do at Sport Dimensions has improved my speed, reactions, strength and endurance. It has also provided variety in my training regime and physio treatment whenever I need it. The staff great too (I’m now one of them!)”

Aki Rihilahti - Crystal Palace & Finland

I have always liked training hard but too often I didn't have the right knowledge to get best results out of my work. I experienced the revolution after some of my highly rated colleagues introduced me to Sport Dimensions. I found immediately that quality one-to-one training with sensible and motivation approach helped me dramatically in the grey areas of my game.

Since then I have regularly based all my fitness and speed training plus recovering from the injuries to Sport Dimensions with good results. The wide variety of training methods and the scientific knowledge behind them has improved me in all the physical sides of the game and helped me a great deal in my career. I recommend Sport Dimensions to everyone who wants to get best out of his training and sport.

Cherno Samba, Millwall FC

I trained at Sport Dimensions during the summer break and it did me the world of good. My Speed and strength improved dramatically, so much so that that all the coaches at Millwall couldn't believe it when I came back so fit! I would recommend it to any young player who wants to improve their speed and strength.

Paula George – Wasps & England Women’s Rugby

“I thought Frappier was so good I joined the staff!”

Antony Phillips - Recreational Rugby

I joined Sport Dimensions after suffering a tear in my abdominal wall, which led to a long period of inactivity and inevitably a huge increase in my weight. So much so, that when I returned to health, my rugby club fitness coach told me I would be put in “Chub Club” and not allowed to play again until I was back to full fitness. I was given ten weeks to get myself back into shape and ready for competitive rugby. Whilst having a full time job, this could have proved very difficult. Enter, Mr. Mike Antoniades and his outstanding team.

After totally breaking down my running style, or lack of one, I was put through a strict programme aimed specifically at increasing my speed and agility and to reduce my body fat percentage from a pork scratching like 38% to under 20%. I achieved my goals and was back playing inside 6 weeks. I 100% owe this to Mike and the guys.

Since then I have continued my training at sport dimensions and have had my most successful 7’s season to date and have recently accepted an offer to go and play in Italy.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Sport Dimensions to anyone. It is the closest thing you can get to a sure thing! From young athletes looking to set off on the right foot to those of us trying to squeeze a few extra years of life out of our playing days…..this is the place to be.

Chris Wood – Rugby

Mike,
I hope you and your team are all well.
The best news, is that Chris is really enjoying his rugby again,  and he's playing with a smile on his face. Most of this is due to you Mike, and your  excellent coaching abilities, and there is no doubt that the technique and the re- structuring of his running style has given him much more pace, acceleration, and with this comes a new found confidence in his own ability.
Chris is scoring tries again, at a recent Under 16  Sussex County Trial, he played on the wing! never before has he played there, but he managed to score from 20 yards out, he wouldn't have done that last year.
Thanks again, for all you have done.
Regards , Peter Wood

Donna Goodfelow- Recreational Sport

I am very pleased to have found a place where there is such an all round approach to injury; I felt fully involved in a real team effort. I am so happy with the treatment I received with you all from beginning to sad end. Kim, who was patient and kind during my reluctance to be 'stuck with pins', gave me back a decent nights sleep, whilst Mike and the team have inspired me and given me fresh challenges both on the treadmill and off.

My sessions on your treadmill have completely changed my feelings about running, which was becoming a dread and no longer something to enjoy. It was fantastic to learn a technique that has made so much difference; no headaches, no dizziness, no fear. I run harder at speeds I thought I'd never go at - not as quick as the fantastic athletes I shared my sessions with, running up those enormous slopes with elastics tied to their legs, but I have new goals. I'm not scared to push now. Most of all, thank you all for making it such fun. I was sad when my sessions came to an end and will definitely come back for top up sessions as a treat. Best wishes to all.
