Peak Performance Online Review
Membership Costs:
Features:
Editor's Verdict: Peak Performance online is a free fitness site whose mission is to optimize your sporting performance rather than simply improve your overall fitness or encourage weight loss. This is one very focused, determined site aimed at athletes and coaches who take their performance, and pretty much everything else, very seriously indeed. Whilst most fitness websites in our ranking began as internet health and exercise resources, Peak Performance is a different in that it started out as an online archive of articles from the Sports Science print newsletter, Peak Performance, and, over the course of nine successful years on the web, grew into something much larger and more profound. Today it's a huge repository of sporting knowledge, as well as a focus for an online community of members who can exchange tips, blogs, comments and videos. The site itself is well organised and easy to navigate, if not entirely free of annoying pop ups that get in the way of what you're trying to read (does anyone actually LIKE those things?). The website also acts as a portal for those who wish to subscribe to the sports science newsletter itself. Whilst most of the website content is freely available to anyone who registers, this newsletter must be paid for and, in addition to the print and online versions of the newsletter, allows you access to bonus website content. If you choose to subscribe online the first two month's subscription is heavily discounted, payment options are fully secure and you can cancel your membership at any time. As you will notice, Peak Performance Online somewhat amusingly abbreviates to PP Online - an unusual choice of domain name for a website that seems to take itself, and its mission to "skyrocket your sports training", very seriously rather than focusing on making exercise fun as a lot of sites do. The possible exception to this serious, no-nonsense tone, is their Sports Nut Blog, but this speaks more to the sporting academic/professional athlete than the general reader. The range of sports and related exercise activities covered by the articles in PPOnline is huge. These can explain in some depth how to max out your personal best in every sport from Badminton to Volleyball and how to get the most out your training regime in the gym or at home whilst minimising the risk of injuries. The focus on sports-science research means that this is also a very dynamic and up-to-date site, never content to rest on its laurels and always offering you new insight from the intersection between today's sporting headlines and the cutting-edge research which gives top athletes and trainers their edge. There is also a strong online-community component to PP Online. Whilst not as fully exploited as the online communities on some other free fitness websites, this is nonetheless quite well developed, offering the ability to share blogs, articles and videos (and comments on blogs, articles and videos) as well as join groups consisting of athletes with similar sporting interests to yours across the world. A possible criticism of PP Online is that it is very much aimed at athletes (amateur and professional) as well as coaches and sports science students and may seem a little daunting and inaccessible to those tentatively venturing into the realm of fitness and exercise for the first time. If you're feeling flabby and useless and have no prior knowledge of sports science this site may well come across as a bit technical and intimidating, making the world of fitness, and by extension a new and healthier you, feel further away than ever. If that's the case for you, there are any number of friendly, accessible sites in our top 10 that make learning about exercising and devising a workout routine you can stick to easy and fun. Otherwise PP Online has much to offer. Click on the button below to check out PPOnline.com for yourself...
