Supported by a community of high-performance experts, elite athletes, and like-minded members
This is the place where you can afford to invest in yourself, so that you can be better personally and to those you care for. We have kept access to our memberships limited to retain the highest quality of service.
We take consideration and time to learn about the whole person and guide a membership journey that yields effective, personal results. The services provided are tailored to individual needs of mind and body to achieve the most valuable outcome for you.
Each of our experts has a wealth of experience and qualification working with individuals to optimise their well-being and performance. We believe in teaching and utilising practical, evidence-based tools to do this.
Our goal is that you have an unrivalled health and wellness experience that develops a range of skills to enhance your quality of life for the long term.
It is all these factors that make membership at Sano Perform a one-of-a-kind offering.
What
it is

Sano Perform is the place where all your health, performance training, and recovery needs are provided under the same roof. Our facilities have been carefully selected in terms of scientific relevance and quality. Our services are executed by a team of highly experienced and qualified professionals who will support you during an excellent experience of personal growth.

Monthly
Regular Check In & Update
Every month members receive a Musculo-skeletal assessment and treatment from one of our Physiotherapists. The information from the check-in forms the basis of the individually tailored Strength & Conditioning program, so that each movement is suited to the person, their own physical needs and their goals.

Treatment on current areas for attention.
Information provided for program.
Strength & Conditioning Program

Quarterly
Comprehensive Check In
Every three months we perform a more detailed personal check in to track key markers of health and performance, or those that are more aligned with members’ personal goals. We will ‘look under the skin’ and ‘beyond the mirror’ to assess functioning of key internal measures of blood (fingerpick) and body composition. Rather than a standard set of additional assessments, each quarterly check-in will be based on each person’s needs and focus areas. This may include consultation with other SANO experts in Nutrition, Stress and Sleep. The quarterly check-in serves to regularly ensure the entire membership service is being effective and addressing the correct areas.

Cardiovascular health markers: Total cholesterol + HDL, LDL, Blood Glucose.
Diabetes marker: HBa1%
