WHO WE ARE

We have worked with the some of the top athletes in the world. Athletes are the most driven people and their determination and dedication enabled them to achieve sustained success. Athletes are also generally healthier and enjoy a better quality of life than non athletes. 


We established Driven Athlete to offer the same exceptional quality health & performance service we provide to elite athletes, for ALL.

​

Why Driven?

We aspire to work with people who are driven to be successful in whatever they choose.  Driven to be the best. People who have or wish to train with purpose and will do things daily that will bring them closer to achieving their goals. 

 

Why Athlete? 

Athletes personify people who have purpose. 

We support clients to build health or performance goals and train consistently, effectively and with accountability to achieve.

 

Practices that are common place in most elite training environments have previously been inaccessible and that is what we set out to change. 

​

Our combined experience enables us to support our clients 360° solution for  their physical health & performance goals, fitting around their current work-life schedule.

Lawrence
Website-Feature-Image-Pete-Reed-Retireme

'Lawrence and I worked together exclusively and daily through the biggest chapter of rehabilitation in my rowing career. After the Rio Olympics, I needed two hip operations before I could get back in a boat. Lawrence took me from crutches to performing in the gym, on the rowing machine and in the boat with the rest of the senior internationals in less than a year. He was a pleasure to work with, a skilled and experienced physiotherapist and I owe him for my flawless transition from theatre to the next start line.'
