Corban Harvey
I’m 12 weeks into working with pulse performance and I couldn’t be more grateful. Initially I was hesitant starting a new S&C program as I’ve bad experiences in the past where I didn’t feel like my sport and training requirements were properly understood. Luckily, with pulse performance, I feel like my sport and training demands are fully understood!! My s&c program is personalised around my specific needs and fight dates. Their always available if I have any questions, and always checking in on how my training is as a whole (sports specific, s&c, recovery etc) to ensure I am the best athlete I can be.
James Lowe
Pulse performance reached out to me on social media to be apart of their growing team, I was a bit hesitant at first but after a phone call I knew they were the real deal! I’ve never had a S&C coach or a nutritionist before so I knew this would give me that extra benefit I needed over other fighters. Unfortunately I had to get surgery on my knee which meant being out of training for a while, even with this unfortunate injury happening Pulse Performance stayed with me every step of the way checking in and helping every way possible keeping me strong physically and mentally. Now me and the team are working hard to get myself and my body back to the elite level ready for competition once again! If your a fighter and want that extra edge I cannot recommend the team at pulse performance enough!
Josh Murphy
I’ve been training martial arts all my life, I’ll always be a student of the sport, but unfortunately, I was raised in a time where you trained through injuries, no pain, no gain! In the short time I’ve worked with Jonny at pulse performance, my injuries are becoming tolerable while pushing my body to its limits through my personalised program. I also had my easiest weight cut while still eating foods I enjoy and need. In total, I lost 14kgs in 12 weeks, and after I made weight, I put on a further 8kgs before my fight. This man is changing the game as I know it and will be recommending Jonny to all of my students.
