Strength & Conditioning at NK Active
Your Initial Consultation
Before beginning any strength or performance programme, it’s vital that we fully understand you as an individual. That’s why every journey at NK Active starts with an initial consultation.
This session allows us to take a complete history of your health, lifestyle, activity levels, and goals. We’ll identify the root causes of any aches, pains, or performance limitations and determine the most appropriate next steps.
Starting with an initial consultation ensures that:
- You book the right service for your needs.
- Any underlying issues are identified early.
- We create a tailored plan that’s safe, realistic, and effective.
- Your investment of time, effort, and money is focused where it will make the biggest difference.
An initial consultation is the foundation of every service we provide — whether you’re a runner chasing a PB, an athlete aiming for peak performance, or simply someone who wants to stay active for years to come.
Runner’s MOT
Our Runner’s MOTs are designed for recreational and competitive runners alike. We have a number of options, depending on your requirements, and can offer strength testing, Run 3D gait analysis, or the two combined into an Elite MOT. At your initial appointment we will advise what we think is most appropriate for you. We use advanced 3D Vicon gait analysis and strength testing with handheld dynamometers to uncover the finer details of your strength and running mechanics.
With the gait analysis, we can evaluate how speed, footwear, or orthotics affect your stride, helping you improve efficiency, reduce injury risk, and unlock new levels of performance. Following your appointment(s) you will receive a detailed summary report.

Body Strength Analysis
The Body Strength Analysis (BSA) is a proactive appointment for anyone looking to understand and improve their strength, flexibility, and balance. Whether you’ve noticed small aches, want to remain active as you get older, or simply want a clearer picture of your physical resilience, this service gives you a personalised report with actionable steps to keep you moving forward.
You will need to attend an initial appointment first, to check that this is the right next step for you. The BSA will give you a good understanding of your current strengths and weaknesses, which can be a great option if you need some advice and diagnostics but not a full rehab programme. The cost of this appointment is £225 for up to 90-minutes in duration.
Included in this appointment:
- Discussion about exercise history and future goals
- Diagnostic strength testing
- Creation of an exercise plan to start your journey
- Agreement on next steps to suit your circumstances
After attending this appointment, you will have a number of options available to you:
NK Active Move Forward programme
The cost of this is £475 if it follows the Body Strength Analysis. This programme is a series of 5 appointments over 2-3 months, with strength testing repeated at the final appointment.
Work independently
Manage your exercise plan yourself or with a physio. In this case, we would recommend that you attend for periodic reviews to check how you are progressing. For example, a repeat strength testing at 3-6 months (£156) would highlight any changes in your strength and whether your plan was in need of review.
Attend for review appointments
Attend for periodic review appointments with a member of our rehab team. The cost is £90 for a review appointment, or £156 for a repeat strength testing and plan review.
Athlete Screening
For teams or individual athletes, Athlete Screening provides precise, objective data using force plates and dynamometers. We measure baseline strength and power across the body to highlight areas for improvement.
Benefits include:
- Performance optimisation: tailored data for training programmes.
- Injury prevention: early identification of imbalances.
- Tracking progress: monitor improvements in-season or during rehab.
This service is ideal for pre-season baselining, mid-season check-ins, or return-to-play assessments.
For individual athletes a one-off screening session would cost £115 for an initial appointment with a member of our rehab team, plus £225 for a strength testing and plan. This can be completed in one visit, if preferred, lasting approximately 2 hours. You can book an initial appointment via the link below, or call us on 01794 840155 to combine both appointments into one visit.
