Our Story
Founded by Ryan Spencer back in 2017, Pyramid Performance & Health has grown into one of the most renowned sports performance centres in the East Midlands, built on a passion for developing stronger, faster, and more resilient athletes.
What began as a vision to provide elite-level coaching and performance training has evolved into a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment trusted by athletes of all levels. Driven by a commitment to continuous improvement, Ryan remains passionate about constantly evolving the facility, coaching systems, and athlete experience — ensuring Pyramid Performance & Health continues to raise the standard for performance training in the region.
From day one, Pyramid Performance & Health has remained focused on building strong foundations, delivering expert coaching, and creating long-term impact for every athlete we work with.
Designed as a complete performance environment, Pyramid is one of the few centres in the country where athletes can access elite coaching, cutting-edge performance testing, recovery services, and altitude training—all in one place.
A unique training environment
Positioned within a tranquil countryside setting in the heart of East Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, Pyramid Performance & Health offers a calm and inspiring environment designed to enhance performance, recovery, and wellbeing.
Our main centre features three specialist spaces — an industrial-style strength and conditioning gym, a private rehabilitation and sports therapy/massage studio, and a performance studio all with stunning views across the surrounding fields — creating a truly unique training experience.
With ample free parking and accessible entrances throughout, the facility has been designed to provide a welcoming and convenient experience for every client.
