The guys at Cornwall High Performance are fantastic, our two teens just love going to their sessions, quite possibly the best activity we’ve ever signed them up for! Rob & Sam’s knowledge of physical fitness is next to none, they know how to motivate and encourage the kids to obtain optimum results, all done in a very professional, safe, fun and friendly environment. These sessions are an essential element in our children’s sport and fitness, supporting and helping them achieve their goals in a healthy way. We would absolutely recommend them! Heidi Fabby More...

My son loves the sessions that he attends at Cornwall High Performance. Competing in sport requires high levels of fitness, strength but mental determination and mental resilience. CHP is the perfect balance to the stress of competitive sports, the calm, reassuring supportive foundation that is needed to build a stronger, resilient teenager. Let alone the benefits that it has produced in all sports participated in. More...

My son started getting overuse injuries so we looked at the training provided by Rob and Sam. They have been brilliant with him. Identified his weaknesses straight away, tailored a strengthening programme and gave him the confidence to get stronger, and perform better in his favourite sports. He’s enjoying it and feels nurtured and supported. After watching them work with him I decided to follow a similar strengthening programme with them. The results are quick and addictive! These guys know what they’re doing and are definitely helping kids get stronger, faster and more injury resistant. Can’t recommend them enough. More...

It's not often I write reviews...but CHP deserves to be praised for the HUGE difference they have made, not only to my son's strength, speed & power, but for the full set of tools they have equipped him with to enhance his performance. Rob & Sam are masters at what they do, they are knowledgeable, professional and every member of CHP receives an outstanding service. Ultimately, the proof is in the results - my son's performance has gone from strength to strength. On a monthly basis he is smashing his PBs, it is truly a child to champion course! Highly Recommended - give it a try....nothing to lose, but everything to gain. More...

Having trained with Rob for 18 months now, I can honestly say that his training regime is perfectly tailored to my needs, sustainable and amazingly effective; it is not a crash plan for a quick result, it’s been an holistic approach to achieving targets, the end result and overall well-being. He provides an achievable work-out/training plan, nutritional advice and treatment when needed. Rob's training comes with exactly the right mix of support and motivation I need and the soft tissue treatment for the little aches and pains is just the icing on the cake. I trust his expertise completely and if he says: 'Lift' all I will ever ask is: 'How much?' :) More...

I approached Sam with a combination of goals firstly to decrease my 2000m split time on the rowing machine and secondly to gain strength in a limited time for a rock climbing trip at the end of the month. I was introduced to new concepts such as maximum aerobic speed (MAS), HIIT programmes and variations of weighted exercises. The knowledge passed across in such a short space of time has made me get the most out of my time in the gym as not only do I now get on a treadmill or lift a weight but I understand the process in which it is aiding me. I've been lucky to have had help from a number of health and fitness advisors through a range of sports and the professional treatment that I have received from CHP is right up there at the top. Thank you. More...

Not sure where to start really....Sam is an amazing Personal Trainer. His enthusiasm, knowledge and drive to see you succeed in your goals is second to none. Sam totally changed my workouts , which to be perfectly honest had been the same for years, and he got me to do things that I would have never tried before...for example Olympic lifting....The results that I've seen from these changes have blown me away! I cannot recommend Sam enough! Thank you , thank you, thank you! More...

Sam's helped me for over a couple years and with his programmes I gained strength, changed body shape, and felt so much healthier.
I then the took part in the first Gamechanger, with both Sam and Rob. With their knowledge and motivation they pushed me to get new PBs, made me realise how important the right nutrition is, and even got me doing MAS training! I feel fitter, stronger and healthier than ever before. I would definitely recommend them, they've both helped me loads. Thanks guys!

Upon our election, myself and the captain of the university rugby team here in Falmouth recognised a shortage in the team's strength and conditioning work, something that we were desperate to amend. We immediately went straight to CHP to discuss the goals that we wanted to achieve in the time-frame that we had. As a club we've been working with CHP on a weekly basis and the results are clear to see both on a personal and squad-wide level. With CHP behind us, they've given us a HUGE helping hand in getting us prepared to challenge for our varsity match, in what would be a first win in the last 6 years, watch this space... More...

Been with CHP since March 2015 aka Mr Rob n Mr Sam - what can I say......The proof is in the magic numbers - I've dropped 5% body fat and will decrease further because they have not just taught me how to train, they have facilitated a change in thinking and behaviour by helping me to really understand the importance of nutrition. RAMP ups are fun and help prevent injury with good prep for the individual plan you will be given based on your body movement and ability. They encourage you to maximise your own potential while assisting you to your goals. Further proof is feeling tangible benefits in your strength and just feeling stronger. Added with significant improvements in your range of movements and the positions you need to create. I've done one to one PT, a group course outdoors and on my 2nd Game Changer course and will continue training with them. There's a lot of PTs out there, and I've tried a few but in summary I am fitter, stronger with changes I can see and feel so its CHP all the way for me. Plus in my opinion they are value for money.

Great programmes tailored to personal needs. PTs/Coaches are friendly and allow a positive rapport to be developed. Great teamwork vibe amongst gym goers.
Lots of potential to be gained from Cornwall High Pererformance. Looking forward to many more months training with the team.
I have been training and competing in the sport athletics for 11/12 years and counting, starting with sprints and jumps, with more recently refining it to just Long and Triple for now.
I had been doing strength and conditioning a few years before attending uni, so knew the basics. However, joining the CHP PT training team (Sam Guy as my PT) I really felt an improvement in all aspects. Showing a real honest understanding of what I was wanting to achieve, Sam quickly jumped (excuse the pun) to the mark and set a well tailored training schedule, focusing mainly on plyo' and strength with a little cardio' thrown in.
I have recently been moved into a smallish group where individual training is still able, but with a group atmosphere the encouragement and technique advice given by all when suitable.
Thank you all for what you have done so far and I look forward to many more sessions of potential proving, hard work and fun getting to know the dedicated individuals who are on the CHP team.

Our daughter has thrived with Rob and Sam at Cornwall High Performance over the last few months. She has certainly stepped up a level and has fast become a more polished and well rounded athlete. In her martial arts she is now more powerful when launching kicks and punches, and her increased power endurance has undoubtedly led to competition medals. There is a noticeable improvement in all her sports, her performance is more consistent, her fitness and her sprint speed has improved too. The sessions are definitely delivering tangible results - speed, power, stamina, technique. She is confident she wouldn't have been able to achieve and sustain that level of power and fitness without strength and conditioning coaching. The guys have helped her become a more agile and confident athlete. Thanks both! More...

Signing up with Rob and Sam for their Game Changer program has been the best decision I have made in a while.
Having not been to a gym in several years and also suffering with a few back issues i wasn't sure about even entering the gym let alone attend twice a week for 3 months.
As trainers/ instructors they are very knowledgeable and their help and advice have started me on the road to recovery. I've even enjoyed my new found fitness. They are very encouraging and every one in the group can find their own level.

Sam and Rob at CHP provide the ideal blend of expert guidance, motivation, and support. Their approach is totally people-centred - they look at you as a whole person who has a life (probably a busy one) and they figure out with you what you need and how to achieve it. They bring the whole package: mobility, core and strength training, nutrition. I'm fitter and stronger than I was in my 20s and I'm eating well, sleeping better, and seeing results in my particular sport which is running (extreme amateur level). Even if you don't consider yourself sporty you can benefit from what Sam and Rob have to offer. They will make you fit for life. More...

Semi private group training
The coaches at Cornwall High Performance are now offering two semi-private group training packages called the ‘Game Changer’ and the ‘Mini Game changer’ where 3-6 individuals from a athletic or non athletic background, can access an exceptional Strength and Conditioning service.
The Game Changer is a twelve week program but can extend to a full year if need be. This highly motivating and positive way of training allows a group of committed people to access a product designed to maximise their potential.
The Game Changer starts with a strategy meeting to outline the program and select training times. A thorough movement screening and performance testing allows the coaches at CHP to formulate effective and appropriate training plans for each individual, and it’s then that the journey begins. Within your group, you will train a minimum of twice a week, all under the watchful eye of Rob and Sam, but will also have some personal conditioning sessions to perform alongside this. A closed social media page will be set up just for your group so you can discuss anything you like with each other, but also ask the CHP team questions about your training, nutrition and recovery strategies.
The Mini Game Changer has all of its big brothers qualities and services, but the contact time with CHP coaches is reduced to one session a week. You will still train as a group during this session but will be encouraged to meet up and train with your counterparts for all your other self motivated sessions, which of course will be all planned by Rob and Sam. Re-evaluating your progress, answering any questions and offering constant support are all still part of this package.
You will be encouraged to support each other through your program as building relationships are a huge part of the CHP ethos. You never know, you might just make a really good friend(s) whilst on the journey to monumental change.
Get in touch with us now via the contacts page on this website to organise your free strategy call.
Youth Training
Cornwall High Performance offer Youth Strength and Conditioning for aspiring athletes from 8-18 years. The aim with the youth program is to enhance physical attributes needed for the sport in question, and working with the younger athletes in the county is no different.
The emphasis at youth level is on laying down the foundations for the future, and developing the young athlete at the appropriate rate so performance can be maximised. Correct movement patterns are an essential start point with any youth program, and from this foundation, strength, speed and power can be developed correctly.
The coaches at CHP ensure that training is always appropriate for the stage of youth athlete development and that exercises within training sessions are carried out with the correct technique and that progressions are made accordingly. Initially all strength and power training at these ages will be performed using bodyweight only, progressing to medicine balls, cables, dumbbells and barbells. Agility and speed work will be implemented alongside accelaration and decelaration modalities.
Clinical Sports And Remedial Massage Therapy
Cornwall High Performance offers the highest standard soft tissue therapy. Recovery is just as important as training and massage should also be considered if sport and exercise are a regular part of your life.
Treatment with CHP involves the use of advanced soft tissue techniques in conjunction with exercise advice for rehabilitation and management of muscular-skeletal problems. These may be caused by sport, work, trauma, disorder, general activity and/or posture. Our treatments will always take into consideration the source of the problem, which often isn’t found at the site of pain.
Following assessment and treatment, the CHP practitioner will take the client through an exercise programme, if necessary, to be followed at home or in a gym setting. In some cases our therapist may choose to refer to one of our affiliated physiotherapists or osteopaths.
Treatment with CHP is effective in the treatment and management of:
Neck problems
Headaches
Arthritic conditions
Repetitive strain Injuries
Sporting or occupational injuries
Postural imbalances
General maintenance of muscular-skeletal imbalances
