Vortex Performance Academy Vortex Performance Academy in Chester is a world class training facility open to all.

The Athlete Factory team has created a purpose built world class training facility on the outskirts of Chester in Cheshire. The site is being built at the historic Chester Rugby club which gives the Athlete Factory the access to 12 rugby pitches along with being on the commuter route of the north west. The facility has been designed with the AF teams knowledge and experience with elite teams and athletes so no stone has been left unturned to design this exceptional facility. The gym design has been aided by our partner and leading gym manufacturers MFitness who have developed gyms for global gym companies, colleges and professional teams throughout the world. The combined expertise in creating the right elite environment has been essential to developing this purpose built facility that will be open to all. The facility will be equipped with world class training equipment, changing rooms, nutrition bar, Watt Bike studio and a Cryo Therapy Chamber that will be the first of its kind in the UK. We have created a unique training facility that has all you need to get results.

Every jump tells us something.

This is force plate testing with

It measures the force going through the floor 1,000 times a second, while one of our athletes does a countermovement jump.

From one jump, we can see:
⚡ Power output: how much force you produce, and how fast
🔋 Training readiness: drops from your normal scores flag fatigue before you feel it
⚖️ Limb symmetry: the force balance between your left and right side, where imbalances can flag injury risk

The results go straight to the coach’s tablet, and that’s what shapes your strength & conditioning. We push when you’re ready, pull back when you’re not, and target the weak side before it becomes a problem.

Data, not guesswork.

Sports testing is available at Vortex. Send us a message to book in.

The Rogue Air Rhino has landed at Vortex.

It’s a belt squat platform with an air flywheel. The faster you pull, the harder it pulls back, up to 544 kg of resistance from one compact machine.

🔹 Two modes: Standard for conditioning, Rhino for heavy strength work
🔹 Belt squats, deadlifts, rows, curls, presses and lunges
🔹 A built-in monitor that tracks Force Over Time on every rep

You train consistently, eat well and invest in supplements, but do you really know what’s happening inside your body?

Are you taking supplements you don’t actually need? Could hidden deficiencies, hormonal imbalances or recovery issues be limiting your progress?

That’s why we’ve partnered with Revi to provide comprehensive blood testing, analysing over 95 biomarkers across key areas including:

- Hormonal health
- Metabolic function
- Cardiovascular health
- Inflammation markers
- Nutritional status
- Recovery and performance indicators

The real value isn’t just receiving a report full of numbers.

Your results are interpreted alongside your lifestyle, training habits and goals, helping us identify what matters most and create a more personalised strategy for your nutrition, recovery and performance.

Take the guesswork out of your health and performance.

Book your test today and discover exactly what your body needs to perform at its best.

🥊 SMARTER PROTECTION FOR COMBAT ATHLETES

We recently welcomed Jill from Prevent Biometrics to Vortex Performance Academy to create custom smart gumshields for our athletes preparing for their upcoming bouts.

🦷 Digital dental impressions help create a custom fit for comfort and protection.

📊 Smart gumshield technology measures both linear and rotational head acceleration during impacts, providing valuable data to support research into head impacts in combat sports.

This technology is helping advance our understanding of impact forces and athlete safety. 🧠

At Vortex, we’re always looking for innovative ways to support our athletes through performance, preparation and smarter training.

A big thank you to Jill and Prevent Biometrics! 👏
