Get clear answers on injury rehab and performance coaching, online programmes, testing, and training so you can return stronger with confidence.
Injury can be frustrating when you are driven to perform at your best. This FAQ is designed to give you clear, honest answers about how injury rehabilitation works at Conroy Performance, what you can expect, and how we support you from first session to full return to training and sport.
You will find information here on how we approach rehab, how online and in-person coaching differ, what your sessions involve, and how we think about pain, progress, and long-term resilience.
At Conroy Performance, injury rehabilitation is built around structured, progressive strength and conditioning. The focus is on what you can do, not just what you cannot. We work to restore capacity, build strength around the injured area, and improve overall performance so you can return to the things that matter to you.
Our process is guided by evidence-based training principles, exercise progressions, and objective feedback where possible. Rather than relying on quick fixes, we look to create sustainable change in how you move, load, and train so that you can tolerate more over time and reduce the likelihood of future setbacks.
If you are cleared for exercise by a healthcare professional and want structured guidance to return to training or sport, rehab-focused coaching can support you. We help people dealing with ongoing niggles, returning after more significant injuries, or rebuilding confidence after time away from training.
Conroy Performance does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have new or worsening symptoms, you should speak with an appropriate healthcare professional first. We then work alongside that advice by planning and progressing your training in a way that respects your current capacity and rehab needs.
Many people begin rehab while still experiencing some pain or discomfort. The aim is not to completely avoid all symptoms, but to find a starting point that is tolerable, then gradually build up over time. We discuss your symptoms in context and adjust loading, exercise selection, and progression based on how you respond.
Progress in rehab is rarely linear and there are no guaranteed timelines. Some people notice improvements in confidence, movement, or tolerance quite early, while other changes take longer. We focus on consistent, achievable steps and review your plan regularly so that it remains realistic and aligned with your goals.
In-person personal training sessions focus on tailored exercise selection, technique coaching, and appropriate loading based on where you are in your rehab. You can expect to work through strength, control, and conditioning exercises relevant to your sport or activity, alongside clear explanations of what each phase of training is trying to achieve.
Fully personalised online coaching follows the same principles, delivered through structured programming and regular check-ins. You receive a plan based on your current level, injury history, and available equipment, with adjustments made according to your feedback, performance, and how you feel across the week.
Rehab at Conroy Performance is not only about getting you out of pain; it is about building the strength and capacity to handle the demands of your sport or training in the long term. This means gradually progressing your loading, range of motion, conditioning, and return to sport-specific work in a way that feels challenging but manageable.
Education is a key part of this process. You are guided on how to interpret normal training discomfort compared to concerning symptoms, how to adjust sessions when life gets busy, and how to continue progressing once formal rehab phases have finished. The goal is that you feel more confident managing your own training moving forward.
People come to Conroy Performance because they want more than generic rehab exercises. They want a plan that respects their ambitions, fits their life, and connects rehab with performance. The focus is always on the needs of the individual, not a one-size-fits-all template.
You benefit from structured programming, clear communication, and a coaching style that values both performance and sustainability. Whether you are working with us in-person or online, you can expect a thoughtful approach to progression, an understanding of the demands of sport and training, and a long-term view of your development.

She loves the sessions and he gives her support and structure to her training between sessions too.Posted on Google Henry BudgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Conroy Performance was a total game changer in preparing me for my Hyrox event. Dennis coached me through a structured 12-week Hyrox programme, complemented by in-person sessions leading up to race day. His coaching was high quality, motivating, well designed, and tailored to help me perform at my best. The programme was delivered via the Fitr app, which made it easy to follow. Each session was clearly laid out, with detailed programming that made tracking progress simple and kept me consistent and accountable throughout the 12 weeks. What really stood out was the ongoing support Dennis provided. Whether it was fine-tuning technique, staying on track, or answering questions, he was always responsive and genuinely invested in my success. I’d highly recommend Dennis and Conroy Performance to anyone serious about levelling up their fitness or getting race ready. Whether you're training for Hyrox or just aiming to boost overall performance, you're in excellent hands.Posted on Google Sean McGrathTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Immediately after getting a ticket for my first Hyrox, I contacted Dennis regarding his 12 week Hyrox programme as I wanted a specific plan geared towards the event. We decided to also incorporate some 1 on 1 sessions alongside the programme. These were excellent at addressing some technique concerns I had with certain stations, running pace, nutrition advice and also incorporating extra exercises around a shoulder injury I was carrying. I felt very well prepared at the end of the 12 week programme and thoroughly enjoyed my first Hyrox. I am already eying up a half marathon and perhaps another Hyrox by the end of the year. I would 100% recommend Dennis as a coach not just for Hyrox but anything strength and conditioning related. He is very reassuring, proactive, informative and shows a genuine interest in getting the best out of you. I had some nerves beforehand and he very much put me at ease and assured me that I was ready and had put the necessary work in.Posted on Google Adam LucukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dennis is a knowledgeable and proactive personal trainer. He looks to tailor training and rehabilitation programmes around the client's needs and requirements. He recognised my Hip condition as FAI (Femoroacetabular impingement) ahead of medical diagnosis. He created a programme to help me manage the condition, allowing me to avoid a potential medical procedure.Posted on Google K LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been training with Dennis at Conroy Performance following shoulder surgery, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the first session, it was clear that he is highly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in her recovery. Dennis has helped her regain and improve strength and mobility and boosted her confidence throughout the process, which has been reassuring for both of us. Beyond the technical expertise, what sets Conroy Performance apart is the supportive and encouraging environment they create. Rehab can be tough, but Dennis' positive energy and motivation have made all the difference.Posted on Google Penny LoweTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Dennis for help in creating a more structured training plan, as I’d been dealing with injuries that were limiting my progress. I wasn’t sure how to move forward, but Dennis provided the guidance I needed. During the initial consultation, we set the groundwork for my bespoke rehab online coaching. Three months later I’m trusting the process and I’m on my way to being injury free. My training now has clear structure, pushes me out of my comfort zone without being overwhelming, and most importantly I’m having fun again! I check in with Dennis on a weekly basis, which ensures everything stays on track, and he’s always available to answer any questions I have. Thank you Dennis (Conroy Performance)! I highly recommend his training.Posted on Google Robert GurneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dennis and Conroy Performance has been nothing short of amazing. He’s pushed me to the next level of my CrossFit and really helped my confidence grow in the 3 months I’ve been training with him. Dennis’s online coaching really is bespoke as he listens to all the feedback I give and changes my plan accordingly. An example of this is when I injured my shoulder early in the program and he changed it to help rehab my shoulders whilst still improving and training as much as I could. I would recommend Dennis to anyone who wants to improve their CrossFit and take their training to the next level! I’m very excited to continue working with Dennis and looking forward to compete next year!Posted on Google Jennifer TeacheyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dennis is an incredible coach. He has been essential in my rehab journey recovering from a herniated disk - very clear in what I should and should not do, motivating, clear and also just a great sounding board for dealing with the mental side of it all. Overall just a really exciting rebuild. Would recommend in a heart beat!Posted on Google Hannah ColeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with Dennis for the past seven months, aiming to improve my strength and specific CrossFit skills. I also sought a tailored plan to push me out of my comfort zone and support my participation in various events throughout the year. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, I’ve successfully competed in events such as the London Hyrox, a half marathon, and the Summer Turf Games. Dennis is highly professional and communicates clearly, making it easy to understand and meet my needs. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a top-tier coach.
I’m Dennis, a rehab and performance coach helping driven, ambitious athletes unlock higher levels of fitness, resilience, and confidence.
My journey through training, competition, and coaching across multiple disciplines has shown me what truly drives long-term progress. It’s not extreme workouts or quick fixes. It’s consistency, smart structure, and an understanding of how the body actually adapts over time.
Over the years, I’ve seen too many athletes held back by poor programming, rushed progressions, or training that didn’t respect their body. That experience is what pushed me to build a coaching approach focused on sustainability, performance, and long-term development, not burnout.
At Conroy Performance, I combine evidence-based training, structured programming, and a strong emphasis on recovery to help athletes move better, perform stronger, and stay in the game longer. Every plan is built around you, your goals, your lifestyle, and your current ability, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Whether your goal is to return from injury, improve performance, or simply feel stronger and more capable in your body, my role is to give you clarity, direction, and the confidence to execute your training with purpose.
No fluff. No guesswork. Just intentional coaching built for real progress.
If you’re ready to train with clarity, push your limits, and build performance that lasts, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
