Self improvement, break free of self imposed limits, live a healthier, more purposeful and fulfilling life

Peak Performance is our Passion Our mission is to empower people to break free of self-imposed limits and live a healthier, more purposeful and fulfilling life. We believe that people deserve a space to focus on themselves, their health and wellbeing and how to be the best versions of themselves. We want to share the tools and techniques we use to support peak performance, improved mental and physical health and enhanced wellbeing. This October, we realise our vision, opening the first Altus health optimisation & performance centre, equipped with infrared saunas, float pods, red light therapy and a resource centre – with lots more planned for 2022. We are also partnering with leading product providers to bring you products that will help you achieve peak performance. Products that promote good health, optimal functioning and longevity. Available to buy online or at our shop at the centre. Our long-term ambition is to build a community of likeminded people all working towards a common goal of being the best version of themselves. Will you join us? Our founding values Everything at Altus is purposeful. Our founding values drive everything we do. Passion – we are committed in heart and mind to achieving our peak and helping others achieve theirs. Curiousity – we believe in continual learning and self-improvement. Longevity – we do not believe in fads, we are focused on achievable, sustainable life improvements. Mindfulness – we believe that encouraging self-awareness in the present moment is one of the most powerful changes people can make to their lives. Performance – we believe in being the very best version of ourselves in all aspects of life
