Initially I started working with Craig when I had signed up for my first marathon and needed some advice and help to prepare. In the first consultation he was able to help me to identify what training I would benefit from which included strength and conditioning work alongside improving my running endurance. The sessions were individually tailored to my needs and flexible. I noticed marked improvement in both my strength and running form. Craig has since adapted my sessions to fit in with my changing goals and has made each training session interesting, challenging and enjoyable. He is able to offer sensible nutrition advice which is sustainable and realistic, again, adapting for personal requirements. During the difficulties within the past year due to the pandemic, I have found that my motivation to improve my fitness and eat well has increased and would put this largely down to Craig making the sessions realistic and adaptable if the gym is not accessible. Craig is very personable, professional and knows what he is talking about. I trust Craig’s advice completely and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for advice no matter what their goals.

I have been going to see Craig for sports massages for nearly a year now. Craig is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. Before my first appointment with Craig I had awful lower back pain which was preventing me from training. Now, with regular sports therapy massages, I don’t suffer with any back pain. Would highly recommend his services.

I have been going to Craig at Active Performance for a number of years now. I am an injury-prone runner and working with Craig, and the techniques that he uses in sports massage, have been vitally important and very effective in keeping me running and more importantly, running pain-free. I am no marathon runner, but the miles that I do achieve each week are important to me, so the effectiveness of Craig’s work has been essential. I strongly recommend contacting him about any issues that you are experiencing, as he has resolved a number of different (but somewhat related) problems that I have experienced in my knee, hip, and foot. Easily accessible through the Enderby Leisure Centre means that it is also very simple to attend appointments (no issues with parking etc).

Craig was my Personal Trainer and triathlon coach for years. He is just the BEST. Unmatched knowledge, passion and sense of humor. He has helped me in my sporting career and also my mindset. I now visit Craig for sports massage. He helps keep my body in one piece. I honestly cant recommend enough

C. S.

Craig is a great coach - we worked together to develop my Olympic lifting technique and build a strength and conditioning plan for Triathlon. Craig worked through the lifts with me breaking them down methodically and clearly to enable me to develop safe and effective lifting and saw me make significant progress in a short period of time. I was delighted with the gains made and the specificity of Craig’s programme saw that translate in to gains across all three disciplines of triathlon. Thanks so much Craig for your supportive coaching, always delivered with positivity and good humour making training a lot of fun.

S. B.

I have regular Sports Massages with Craig. Without these I know I wouldn’t be able to run. Craig is very knowledgeable, professional and always polite but very friendly. His massages sort out injuries and tight muscles but don’t go in thinking it’s a relaxing experience!! But well worth it. Hopefully you’ll be able to work soon Craig!

Review on massage treatment: I've found Craig to be professional and deliver highly trust worthy services, treatment and accurate assessment that makes a real difference. For example I currently have a shoulder issue which has long term discomfort and limitation. I've had multiple physio, consultant and chiropractic consultations with little success. I brought this problem to Craig attention and he conducted a thorough assessment and applied treatment which regained my mobility and relieved my pain. I have bought bulk massage sessions and will continue to use Active Performance. I'd recommend to others for one time treatment or regular services.

I have been training with Craig from active performance for years now. He has shown great understanding of my strengths and abilities and how I have different needs with age. He always leaves me feeling very positive that I can achieve. Yesterday in the cold I trained outside with him. He motivates and his at your side encouraging you. I really did feel like Rocky Training. I also appreciate that he practices what he preaches and he shares his bad days to encourage you. Great trainer

Craig has been my PT for more than 15 years. He is a FANTASTIC Personal Trainer. Highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, very caring, responsible and hard working. He knows exactly how far to push to ensure you get the most from each session safely. He is also good company and has a great sense of humour. What more could you ask for?

I have received personal training with Active Performance for a number of years now. I first met Craig over 15 years ago when I wanted to lose weight and get fit and strong. He got me lean and fit for my wedding, then helped me lose the weight I had gained after pregnancy and more recently has helped me get strong again since working from home and becoming lazy during the pandemic! Craig is a fantastic coach. Really motivational, friendly, encouraging and never intimidating. He is results driven and takes pride in personalising programmes to meet individual needs. I have recently enjoyed (maybe not enjoyed haha) a very good sports massage. I suffer with pain in shoulders and hips and he really helped ease tension and improve mobility. I would highly recommend Craig. I really enjoy working with him. Cool, calm, collected. But definitely performance driven!!

G. S.

We have both known Craig for a very long time so we were confident about using his sports massage service. He is always polite, professional and above all has a good knowledge and understanding of what an athlete requires. Be warned, he will put you through the mill but it’s worth it in the end

I started having PT sessions with Craig just before Christmas and what a fantastic experience it was. I’ve been going to the gym for many years now and have always done classes as lack confidence in the gym and using the gym equipment. Craig set up an initial consultation with me to gain an understanding of what I wanted to achieve, he set up a great program which did push me out of my comfort zone but gave me the motivation that I needed. Craig gave me such support and was so reassuring when I thought I couldn’t do something and with his support and encouragement I realised I could. I continued to to focus on the areas we had worked on and was able to push myself and gain the confidence I needed to go it alone too. It felt great to be able to go into the gym and start using the equipment the correct way with confidence.

I started PT with Craig just before Christmas. I chose Craig because of his experience and recommendations from other people. Craig is motivating and encourages you with positive reinforcement. He listens to you and creates a workout to suit. Craig has a good sense of humour, which helps, and I have every confidence he will help me achieve my goals.

R. F.

Regularly receive excellent deep tissue sports massage from Craig at Active Performance. He goes above and beyond by explaining physiology of muscle groups he is working on, and often gives other advice. I’d definitely recommend Craig for any sports injury & regular massage

A. S.

I have been training with Craig for years. We have gone from just a bit of toning up to actually participating in competitive sport. Craig is very good at helping you identify your goals then showing you you can exceed them. He is very knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic.

E. L.

I have known Craig for many years and not only is he one of the nicest men you will ever meet but he is also a true professional. I have benefitted from his sports massages over the last few years and would highly recommend him to anybody. Not only is he brilliant at what he does but also the advice he gives you regarding how to look after yourself is second to none. He fills you with confidence and you won’t find anyone better.

A. C.

Craig has been my pt for 10 years and during this time I have had mental health and emotional problems.Throughout all this, with craig’s extreme support, care, understanding and motivating and pushing me to my limits I shed a huge amount of weight, got fit and ran a half marathon, which was my goal! Craig is a brilliant, friendly and competent pt! Would highly recommend!

M. C.

Fantastic support and detail when working through training plans and goal-reaching. Craig explains things really well - the how and why - and takes you through the breakdown of more complex aspects. He adds a great blend of experience and technique to triathlon coaching and pushes the most out of you that you can give.

K. B.

If a hard-working, highly motivational, knowledgeable, holistic, supportive, no nonsense, but equally funny and friendly PT is what you are looking for then Craig is your chap. He has been my PT for over 15 years and consistently ensures that I never get an easy session (apart from when I was having treatment a few years ago - they may have been a tad easier!). What started out as a push to be leaner and fitter for a significant birthday has morphed into training to run half marathons, complete sprint triathlons and learning front crawl to (one day) complete a half ironman. He knows his stuff and makes sure that you are rarely in your comfort zone as no two sessions are the same ; the aching limbs and sore core muscles the following day are testament to that. Craig may push you to your physical limit and then a bit more but he is always happy to offer words of support and advice if you are struggling with your mental health. He has helped me through some hard times over the last few years and I am happy to call him my friend.

C. W.

I have worked with Craig for several years now and through this have adapted a really successful coaching/athlete relationship. Over the years, Craig has supported me to qualify for and compete at the sprint Duathlon World Championships and the sprint Triathlon European Championships and since then helped me to train and age group podium at my first Ironman distance . I have taken some time off whilst starting a family and now Craig has helped me work safely and effectively postpartum twice.

D. W.

I have sports massage with Craig and from first contact he's been great. Easy to communicate with for bookings and always happy to explain what he's doing and why during sessions. Would recommend without hesitation!

K. B.

Highly recommended sports massage. Craig has helped my long term back problem and the associated problems with his knowledge and skill. Craig is professional and friendly with a vast knowledge on sports and fitness.

M. W.

Craig is an excellent PT, he has helped me gain confidence in lifting heavier weights which I have always shyed away from in the past. Each PT is varied depending on what other sessions I have been doing and I always feel I get my monies worth after a session.

S. P.

If you have a PT goal I highly recommend Craig. I started cycling PT sessions with Craig as I had a team charity event that I needed to train for and I didn't want to let the team down by being slow. Craig got to know me quickly and found ways to push me to a higher level of cardio fitness than I've ever had before. What I didn't realise was how much mental stamina training I would get too! We completed the event as the fastest mixed team on what must have been one of the wetest days of the year. I like my PT sessions so much I've carried on even after the event.

D. T.

I use Craig for sport massage and physio on a regular basis. He is highly knowledgeable and has helped me overcome many injuries where others have failed. He's a great guy and I consider him my fourth emergency service!

T. O.

I have suffer with back pain on and off for years. I went for an assessment and treatment with Craig after seeing a poster. I must admit I didn’t know what to expect and was extremely impressed with his professionalism and his in depth knowledge of anatomy and muscles. Not only did he give me a treatment but also exercises to try and combat my complaint. For about 24 hours after I always felt a little sore but such a relief from the initial pain. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you

J. G.

I use Craig regularly for my sports massages and always find him to be professional and knowledgeable. He has helped me recover from a recurring shoulder injury with his massages and advice.

Three years ago I damaged nerves in my foot running and haven't been able to since. After two years and two stone, Active Performace's IronMan Craig Twigg sent me to see Claire at PhysioSynergy. Between them they have literally changed my life. I weighed 92kg (14.5 stone) back then, was unable to walk or stand for more then an hour and .. not nice to live with. Between them, they not only showed me how to manage the pain but also fixed my gait and all of the related [back] pains (which I'd thought was me just getting old). Craig got me spinning and training properly for the first time in years, to the point where I'm now 80kg and fitter and stronger than I've ever been. I need an operation to fix my foot properly, which I imagine will be a long time coming under COVID, but thanks to Craig and Claire's amazing work I'm finding new ways to work through it, keep strong, and be nicer to live with.

L. J.

When looking for a personal trainer many years ago now, a friend recommended Craig Twigg and I have never looked back. Beside being an awesome athlete himself he is very motivational, pushes you to the best of your ability and is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him. Louise Jackson

First class massage. I can’t recommend Craig enough. Craig is incredibly knowledgable and provides a comprehensive service. A very professional service. Thanks for all your help over the years!

J. R.

Simply the best!!!!! Twigg has always help me achieve numerous goals with my running over the last 18years,he's honest, professional and loyal, I've had regular massages and feel very safe and comfortable being the opposite sex...

D. S.

After years of training BJJ and training in the gym, and suffering with aches and pains. I now visit Craig regularly for massages and would 100% recommend to anybody.

R. M.

Cant wait for Active Performance to open back up after this latest lockdown. Really missing my regular sports massage. Still training as hard as ever and starting to feel a few niggles that need sorting out. As soon as Boris allows I be booked back in.

M. S.

I went in to see Craig due to issues with my hips and lower back and after one session I already felt the benefits and felt 10x better especially during heavy lifting sessions! I will 100% be back again :)

C. B.

Craig Is knowledgeable and Professional, As a Triathlon Coach he will work you hard, but get you to the start line ready to perform your best,

S. P.

Craig is professional, extremely knowledgeable and value for money. He’s helped me out with both injury management and prevention and would highly recommend.

S. G.

I go and see Craig once a month for a Sports Massage. He knows his stuff and has helped my body stay in one piece.

S. B.

I have had sports massage quite regularly and Craig is professional and very thorough, would recommend Craig to anyone who wants sports or any other massage

A. G.

I started training with Craig 3 years ago with the aim of completing a half Ironman.I am a member of a triathlon club and had little confidence in myself with any of the 3 disciplines.Craig has given me confidence and faith in myself.I always come away from a session more positive than when I arrive.He is a good listener and understands where I’m coming from.I look forward to my regular sessions with him and to the weekly training programme which keeps me on the straight and narrow.Having started at a pretty average fitness level I have now completed 2 Ironman and would thoroughly recommend working with Craig!

I. W.

I would highly recommend Craig for a sports massage , as a keen racing cyclist I rate Craig as one of the best sports masseuse in the business . 10/10

J. L.

Great sports massage that’s helped the management and recovery of an injury. Really professional and a great experience. Will definitely keep on using!
