Testimonials
“Working with the team at High North has been a seamless experience which is a necessity when trying to fit training in around a full work and family life. In the last few months since working with Tom and Emma I’ve achieved power PB’s in our areas of focus and continue to feel stronger on the bike each week. I appreciate the scientific approach to structuring workouts paired with very clear explanations of what we are doing and why. The quality of progress reports and regular feedback is a real differentiator and I feel that the team are fully invested in making me as fast as I can be”

“For me as an athlete, I love understanding the why behind sessions and Tom & Emma are very open to sharing this and explaining things to me. I’ve loved the feeling of gaining both confidence and performance under their guidance and my motivation going into racing is high”

“I was training alone for 2 years and was an average MTBer; around the top 15 in my local league. The best thing is that Tom and Emma always pay attention to my feedback and adjust the plan based on my progress and feelings, which turned out to be very productive for me - By the end of the season they brought me to a great 3rd place. We’re sure we can get that 1st place next season!”

“Having been using the services of High North Performance now for 6 months, I can honestly say that Tom and Emma offer excellent training plans that extend much further than just a ‘training plan’. In a short space of time I’ve improved much more than I thought was possible, but not only that, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the training that has been set. The training is thoughtfully planned out to my time availability and moved around if needed. The sessions are well explained and laid out, most even have papers and studies attached explaining in more detail the reasoning behind them. I’m excited to continue working with them and have 100% trust and confidence in what they offer”

Their scientific approach is also unique when compared to online platforms and the majority of coaches out there”

My training is always engaging and varied throughout the week and is backed by current scientific knowledge. It’s great to work with coaches who take the guesswork out of improving. Whether it’s racing or dealing with injury, they’re always supportive and help me get the best out of myself”

“It’s been a great choice to work with Tom and Emma. They are really professional and always ready to help to schedule training around busy days with work and family. When you stick to the training plan and listen the little tips they provide, you see the results”

“I decided to work with Tom for the 2018 season and I don’t think I could’ve made a better decision. Tom was the one who introduced me to the method of training with a power meter and helped me understand how it works. We worked together to improve both my form throughout the year, but also my racing strategy. I think that one of the most important aspects to look for when you’re searching for a coach is the communication capability between the two of us and this is why I appreciated Tom in first place. He is always open to answer your questions, give proper advice, or even to motivate you when you’re feeling down, which I think is a huge thing to be able to do as a coach for your athlete”

“As a master athlete after several years of training and racing, I thought I hit a plateau in terms of making big gains with my fitness. Working with Tom and Emma for only a short amount of time, I have already seen a huge jump in my fitness. With their combined scientific knowledge and experience, I have learned so much from them that no amount of research on the internet has taught me”
