AARON DUNN
It's important that you know that there is a real person behind Performance Training® and RACE5™. So let me introduce myself...
A dad first and foremost to my two amazing daughters, I am also an Academic, Performance Coach, and Athlete!
ACADEMIC
My academic achievements include a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and an MSc in Strength & Conditioning, which I took into my role as a university lecturer for 5 years. I continue to share my knowledge and expertise with students at our Performance Training Academy, so please take a look at 'Our Academy' if you are interested in a career in fitness as personal Trainer. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
PERFORMANCE COACH
I have over 15 years experience as a Personal Trainer and Performance Coach. This has included fantastic opportunities to work with elite athletes in my Sport Science role at Watford Football Club, Charlton Athletic, and Saracens Rugby.
I bring this experience to ALL my clients to ensure that I deliver cutting edge training, nutrition, and recovery protocols to Unlock Your Full Potential.
Whether you're starting out on your fitness journey, looking for your next performance goal (including HYROX and RACE5), or setting your sights on reaching your full athletic potential, I have ensured that at Performance Training, we have the training approach that is right for you!
ATHLETE
I practice what I preach! I am out there on the track with you, you will see me in the gym, you might catch me out running or at a Parkrun, or HYROX race!
I know what it takes to prepare for performance. I have taken part in 10+ HYROX races in Men's Open, Men's Pro, Men's Doubles, and I have qualified for 2 HYROX World Championships (Manchester 2023 and Nice 2024). My current HYROX solo Personal Best is 1:01:53 and I am currently racing this 2025/2026 HYROX season, where I recently came 3rd and secured podium in Doubles for our age group!

JESSICA PUTNAM
Hi, I’m Jessica Putnam – an athlete, coach, and business founder with a passion for pushing limits, on and off the track.
I started my career in the heptathlon, where I became a British Champion and placed 6th at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, 2014. Since then, I’ve transitioned into the 400m hurdles, where I’ve gone on to become an England Champion, Irish Champion, and placed 3rd at the British Olympic Trials in 2024. I'm proud to be the 16th fastest British athlete of all time over the 400m hurdles!
Beyond athletics, I’ve taken on new challenges in the world of HYROX as a sponsored athlete for Performance Training. I am hugely grateful for the support., encouragement and community at the HYROX Training Club! I went to Malaga with the team in April 2025 and achieved 1st place in the women’s doubles (30-39 AG) which gained us a qualification to the World Championships! I took the opportunity to race in a mixed relay at HYROX London Olympia in May and placed 3rd in the the Under-40 AG! Next up: the HYROX World Championships 2025 in Chicago – and I couldn’t be more excited.
It doesn't stop there! I am an ambassador for RACE5, a great fitness race that has 5 Runs, 5 Workout Zones, and 5 Categories to compete in. I was part of a great RELAY5 team in April (which was great practice for HYROX London Olympia!) and I'm looking forward to more RACE5 training sessions and racing this year.
Alongside competing, I’ve built a career around helping others achieve their best. Whether I’m training, racing, or coaching, everything I do is rooted in passion, discipline, and the belief that we’re all capable of more than we think.
