The Chester facility has been designed using our coaches’ vast experience in elite sport, training methodology, and an understanding of what actually gets results.
The flow, style and range of equipment offers ALL our members the type of facility that is usually only accessed by professional sports teams and individuals. Giving all our members access to a world class facility.

Wattbike is the chosen indoor training tool used by Olympic champions, professional athletes and officially endorsed by British Cycling. Wattbikes are engineered to enhance the performance of any athlete — whether you’re a complete beginner or an elite athlete.
A smooth ride mimics the feel of the road and their cutting-edge digital technology measures over 40 different aspects of your ride. Real time feedback provides you with everything you need to know about your performance, helping you track progress as your training develops. Here at AF, we have our own Watt Bike Studio for both classes and individual hire.
At the Athlete Factory, we understand that nutrition is the key that unlocks results from the training. That is why Cafe AF is crucial to the AF Facility. Not only to support the programming through pre & post nutrition, but to be a focal point for the members. It also allows members to relax with a meal, snack, shake or coffee.
Cafe AF has a range of meals, shakes, snacks and smoothies created by our in-house nutritionist Paul Reed and Chef JW . We stock Applied Nutrition sports supplements who work with many elite teams and individuals and who are Sport Assured.
Chef JW is in the kitchen daily, cooking up a storm, from breakfast to lunch whilst also whipping up meal prep solutions! Check out the Cafe AF page for menus!
