PRESS RELEASE

Absolute Performance unleashes bold new look as growth accelerates

08 Sep 2025
AP Caden Team / Absolute Performance
Cardiff-based elite gym design and installation specialists, Absolute Performance, have unveiled a striking brand refresh — a confident evolution that mirrors the company’s dynamic growth, unwavering values, and expanding portfolio of high-calibre, high-performance projects.

This isn’t about changing who they are, it’s about showing it more clearly. Absolute Performance has always been more than a provider; it’s a trusted partner. Now, that truth is being projected with clarity. With a refreshed website, updated tone of voice and confident new strapline that communicates its philosophy, “Designed to inspire. Built to perform,” the company is bringing its mission into sharper focus: delivering world-class training environments that unlock potential and stand the test of time.

Designed to inspire, engage, and earn trust, the updated website and visual identity channel the spirit of the brand — raw energy, unmatched expertise, and rock-solid integrity. With a more authentic, straight-talking tone, the platform isn’t just about showcasing what Absolute Performance does, it’s about highlighting why it matters. Whether shaping the next generation in schools or pushing elite athletes beyond their limits, the message is clear: performance is at the heart of everything.

“Our work has always been about creating spaces that perform — and now we’ve built a brand that performs too,” says Harry Tafota-Nash, Managing Director at Absolute Performance. “We’re proud of the trust our clients place in us, and we want our brand to reflect that same credibility and care. It’s a bold step forward, but one that’s grounded in who we’ve always been.”

From elite training centres and educational institutions to small private and independent gyms, Absolute Performance has become a name synonymous with excellence — not just in design and installation, but in delivering lasting value and unwavering support. This brand evolution puts their “beyond the build” ethos centre stage. From initial concept to final creation, every facility is tailored to the client’s vision, combining form, function, and long-term value to exceed expectations.

Dedicated to crafting spaces that are both inspirational and high-performing, Absolute Performance has partnered with an enviable portfolio of clients who see gym design as more than a transaction, but rather as an investment in potential and performance. The journey doesn’t end at installation — they lead, they listen, and they show up, time and again. This commitment is the heart of their refreshed brand.

With powerful visuals and a compelling new digital presence, Absolute Performance is making a clear statement: it’s a company that’s growing, evolving and ready to keep setting the standard in high-performance training environments, without losing sight of what makes it all work: great partnerships and a shared vision.

Plans for the next 12 months
2026 marks another transformative year for AP, defined by powerful new partnerships, products, and performance-driven projects.

Designed to inspire, our product range continues to grow and evolve as our work with KingsBox brings some of Europe’s best racks and rigs to the UK market. Our partnership with Team GB continues, as this year we collaborate on our first Winter Olympics. The Absolute Performance team couldn’t be prouder to have been chosen to design and install a strength and conditioning facility for the incredible athletes competing in the 2026 games in Milano, Cortina.

This year, we are undertaking some exciting new projects that will see us break new ground, literally! With full project design, planning, management, construction, and fit-out, we are now able to construct the building, as well as install the gym inside, ideal for those who have limited internal space.
Testimonial
"Delivering three elite performance gyms across Paris in a short time frame is no mean feat, but we know Absolute Performance is up to the challenge. They’ve proven their expertise, service, and quality working with Team GB at the last two Olympic Games in Rio and Tokyo, and I have every confidence that Paris 2024 will be even better”

– Greg Retter, head of performance services, Team GB
Testimonial
"I would recommend Absolute Performance. They’ve done exactly what they said they were going to do. They’ve delivered on everything they promised but not only that, they’ve done it in a friendly way, they’ve done it in a supportive way. Nothing was too much trouble".

– Luke Brailey, curriculum lead for PE, Hardenhuish School
Testimonial
"The AP team also took a no-nonsense approach, with no extra fluff or pressure to add pieces of equipment which we weren’t looking to include. They grasped what we were looking to do with the open, natural feel, whilst wanting the premium equipment when it came to Olympic lifting and strength and conditioning equipment".

– Robbie Johnson, Stone Personal Training.
