Performance Testing Services
Physiological testing helps you move beyond guesswork.
At the Holohan Coaching Performance Hub in Shrewsbury, we provide cycling, running and endurance performance testing designed to give athletes clear, practical insight into their current fitness, training zones and key areas for improvement.
Our testing combines physiology, data and coaching interpretation to give you actionable next steps — not just numbers on a report.
Whether you are preparing for a race, building towards a key event, returning from injury, or looking to understand your body in more detail, testing can help you train with greater precision and purpose.
Testing at the Holohan Coaching Performance Hub
Our testing takes place at our Performance Hub in Shrewsbury.
This gives athletes access to more than physiological testing alone. Where appropriate, we can combine your test results with support from our specialist partners in:
-
Performance nutrition
-
Strength and conditioning
-
Injury prevention
-
Return-to-training support
-
Long-term athlete development
This joined-up approach allows us to view your results in the wider context of your training, fuelling, movement quality, body composition, injury history and performance goals.
For many athletes, this is where testing becomes most valuable: not as a one-off result, but as part of a clear plan for improvement.
