ABOUT US

Hi, my name is Ciarán Burke and I am the owner and chief exercise physiologist here at The Performance Lab where our tagline is to ”Measure Everything and Guess Nothing”. We run a number of gold standard fitness tests using lab grade metabolic equipment. Our primary focus is on metabolic testing specifically Vo2 max fitness testing and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).

My desire is to bring an analytical performance centered approach to not just athletes involved in sports, but within the general population too, as we look at factors such as longevity in life and how this process can be progressed for each individual.

In the 21st century there is a lot of noise and unreliable information available to people from smart watches to your phone’s AI capabilities. Even if you find a reliable testing and assessments service for your chosen goal it is often the interpretation of the information you are given which leaves people unsure and directionless. I am in a unique place with 19 + years of coaching and performance analysis behind me to drill into a client’s goal and history, combine it with their testing data to help them move forward towards their goal in a sustainable manner. I am lucky to have the experience during this time to work with everybody in their life journey all the way up to national and international athletes during this time.
