# Strata Performance
Strata Performance is a strength and conditioning coaching business based in Macclesfield, specialising in training athletes and outdoor enthusiasts in action sports disciplines. Founded by Sam, the business works with cyclists, mountain bikers, climbers, runners, mountaineers and outdoor instructors—helping them build functional strength, improve performance and prevent injuries.
The business distinguishes itself through a deeply consultative approach. Rather than applying generic programmes, Sam conducts thorough assessments to understand each client's sport, goals and constraints. Testimonials reveal consistent themes: clients appreciate his ability to spot technique issues, provide multiple solutions to problems, and adapt training around life circumstances. His expertise extends beyond simple strength gains; he's helped clients recover from ACL reconstruction, back injuries and postpartum challenges, whilst simultaneously improving their sport-specific performance.
What sets Strata Performance apart is the integration of injury prevention and rehabilitation within performance training. Clients report not just stronger bodies, but improved confidence, reduced niggles, and sustainable longevity in their sports. Sam's consultative style means training plans are tailored to individual events—whether that's preparing for winter ultramarathons or maintaining capacity for mountain work over decades.
The business attracts serious athletes seeking partnership with a coach who understands both the physical demands of outdoor pursuits and the reality of balancing training with work and life. Results-driven individuals value the clear communication, technique refinement and personalised planning evident across all testimonials.
