Careers at Advance Performance

Advance Performance is no ordinary running store. Established in 1996 we are best known for our Video Gait Analysis; a free service we offer to ensure that you are exercising in the most suitable shoe for your own unique running style, minimising your risk of injury.

We feel that we offer exceptional levels of service and advice along with quality products at sensible prices. We are truly independent and our aim is to get you all out there running injury free and comfortably. Runners & Triathletes of all levels visit us time and again to purchase running shoes, clothing, nutrition advice and accessories knowing that they will receive a warm welcome and extremely knowledgeable advice about their purchases.

In store we offer a huge range of moisture-wicking and breathable clothing to keep you comfortable in all temperatures from the leading specialist running, triathlon and fitness brands as well as speed - distance monitors, heart rate monitors, sports nutrition products, accessories and books.

We also work closely with the Ramsay Health Fitzwilliam Hospital Physiotherapy Team where each of our customers is entitled to a complimentary one hour physiotherapy treatment.
