Bakala Academy – Athletic Performance Center is a leading research and testing centre. It works intensively with top sports men and women but also provides services for the recreational sports person in order to promote fitness and health.
The Bakala Academy offers a wide range of physical fitness tests for customised, individual training supervision, both for runners and cyclists. And, given that food and nutrition play a vital role in a healthy, sporting lifestyle, alongside efficient training and recuperation, the academy can provide customised nutritional advice for both recreational and elite athletes. The athlete’s personal goals in terms of bodyweight and performance are always prioritised.

Finally, the Bakala Academy has a unique altitude centre with five luxury rooms and a large living room for stimulating an oxygen depleted environment of 4000 m and above.
