ONE PLAN. ONE TEAM.
EVERY DISCIPLINE
UNDER ONE ROOF.
Personal training, strength and conditioning, and nutrition, in one programme by one team.
In central Hong Kong. Built around people who hold themselves to a real standard.
MOST PEOPLE END UP PIECING THEIR SUPPORT TOGETHER
So they end up working separately with…
A TRAINER
A NUTRITIONIST
THE INTERNET
NONE OF THEM SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE.
Three sources, three plans, no shared system. No common measurement. No one accountable for whether the pieces actually add up. You end up coordinating it all yourself, with a fraction of the information the job needs.
YOUR PROGRESS GETS DISCONNECTED
Whether you are chasing a personal best, staying strong and capable for the decades ahead, or building a young athlete’s foundation, disconnected support holds you back.
Most people never get the disciplined, coordinated and measured programme that actually moves them forward.
When you should be getting a coordinated system as a default.
But there is another way
A REAL PERFORMANCE SYSTEM COORDINATES ALL FOUR
WHICH IS WHY THE EFFORT NEVER QUITE COMPOUNDS
Years of training that returns less than the work deserves. A persistent sense of doing the right things and still not getting the result the work should produce.
AND WHY THE BODY EVENTUALLY PUSHES BACK
When training, nutrition and recovery are not synchronised, setbacks stop being bad luck and start being predictable. The body is asking for coordination the system has never delivered.
So we built this.
is
Built on fifteen years of high-performance coaching. Now open in central Hong Kong.
Nu Performance began as a coaching practice and has grown into a full performance centre and team. It is built on fifteen years of strength and conditioning experience, including eight at the Hong Kong Rugby Union as Head of Athletic Performance, working with people who hold themselves to a serious standard, whether or not they compete.
Those clients kept asking for more. More than training alone. More than nutrition alone. More than a plan that ignored the rest of their lives. They asked for the system serious performance quietly runs on, brought into one place. The Nu Performance Centre is built to deliver exactly that, in central Hong Kong.

What people say
Voices from the coaching practice the centre is built on.
Weight management has always been Achilles heel since I’ve started competing in cycling races. I decided to look for help and through word of mouth, I began working with Luke in preparation for the 2023 Asia Cycling Championships a few months ahead of time. From the get go, Luke was attentive to my needs and habits, and shared his wealth of knowledge to not only educate me on making the best nutrition choices, but also taking a lot of care to monitor my progress on a daily basis. Of course, a huge part of the journey was also in the mind, and he was very encouraging to keep me focused on the goal. I am very satisfied with the progress we made, and can confidently say I would not have achieved my goals if not for his help. I highly recommend Luke to anyone looking to improve their sports performance especially on the nutrition side!
Daryl Chan
Elite Cyclist
As a former regional netball player, I’ve been a competitive sportswoman my whole life. In recent years I have taken up running and trail racing, competing in competitions across Asia. Looking to increase my performance, improving my race nutrition was the next logical step. I was referred to Luke Davey by a fellow runner who had benefited from his services. Luke was friendly and professional throughout, and after using him myself and seeing the improvements in my race times I will continue to use him when preparing for future events and competitions.
Daysie Whitmore
Competitive Runner
I was working with Luke with the specific goal to improve my endurance performance in preparation for marathons and other endurance races. Just several weeks into the coaching any aspect of my training has significantly improved. I quite appreciate the fact that Luke is able to share tons of valuable knowledge on training and performance improvement which goes beyond the nutrition coaching. Working with him not only made me a better runner but more importantly gave me the confidence to reach for the next goals. I’m already planning my next coaching cycle and can highly recommend working with him.

I started working with Luke Davey this year, and I have been seeing amazing results.
But before I share my results, perhaps I should explain the process the support I got from working with Luke.
Luke together with me provided with a training plan, helping me develop and educate myself – basically he is a believer of sustainable development and is helping me learn how to work out and accomplish my fitness goal by myself. He is always there to chat, reviews, answers my 1,000,000 text messages with a positive attitude! I always feel like he is by my side. As per nutrition, Luke has helped me step by step with a good plan that works for me. Explaining in a way that makes me understand the process and the reasoning behind everything he is doing. He chats with me on a weekly basis and answers my questions 24/7
Because of his special approach and his goal to help me help myself and be independent- I trust that now I know how to do this. I got this. And thanks to him I know this change I made is for life.
I started with body weight of 114KG – and now I am 91.8kg

At 58, I engaged Luke Davey of NU Performance to prioritize my fitness. I had a rugby background and moved to Hong Kong in 1995, where I had a successful rugby career. However, old injuries led to weight gain and an unhealthy lifestyle for 13 years. In 2017, a cardiac problem was fixed, giving me a second chance. I resumed cycling, hiking, and running.
In early 2023, I hired a cycling coach but struggled with weight and nutrition. That’s when I sought Luke’s help. We developed a personalized plan based on limiting carbs and tracking intake using MyFitnessPal. Luke provided the High Protein Cookbook for easy meals. The plan improved my workouts, recovery, and hydration strategies for Hong Kong’s heat.
With Luke’s support, I lost 10kg, improved training performance, and achieved peak fitness. I never felt hungry or had cravings. The program put me on a sustainable path to a healthier lifestyle. I highly recommend working with Luke, as his academic background, scientific knowledge, and practical experience make him exceptional at delivering tailored plans. He understands the challenges of balancing work, social life, nutrition, and training.

I did my ACL revision in October 2020. I needed help with my knee post ACL revision. I was recommended to work with Luke for my sports and conditioning as I am a professional football player. Right from the first meeting, I found Luke to be very understanding to my personal needs with regards to my football fitness so that I am able to go back to playing at an elite level. He created an individualised program to suit my needs. He also helped me set up a gym program so that he could keep track of the work I was doing. Furthermore he set individual goals, kept track of them and I particularly liked that Luke even advised me on nutrition. He is very calm while working with me and I feel very comfortable and motivated during our sessions. I am extremely satisfied with the results I have achieved working with him. I would recommend Luke to anyone who is looking to work on their personal goals with regards to sports conditioning and strengthening and also post surgery or injury.

Six weeks out from my wedding day, I panicked. After a few too many celebrations in the run up, the dress was tight and I lacked serious confidence in how I felt about being a bride. Knowing my timeframe was tight, I reached out to Luke to see if it would be at all realistic to kickstart one of his Lifestyle and Weight-Loss packages so close to the big day. Confident that we would start achieving results, I was locked in and started to “shred for the wed”. Six weeks later, I was five kilos lighter and the dress fit like a dream. The temptation to crash diet was real, but I couldn’t be more glad that I fought the urge to drastically drop calories and instead work with a professional to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way. Eating a solid amount of calories and carbs, combined with a regular exercise routine, the weight started melting off and I never once felt hungry, deprived or burnt out. I was kept accountable every single step of the way, and actually, for once, understood exactly why Luke’s programme was designed the way it was. The science holds up! Bespoke to my own body composition goals and lifestyle factors, there were no short cuts, just a happy bride-to-be. Six weeks was just a glimpse into a healthier future, and I’m excited to continue working with Luke and keep on smashing those weight-loss goals – carbs included!

After years of rugby I found myself lacking the ability control my weight. Luke provided a source of accountability, education and realistic long term strategies to ensure I am the healthiest version of my self. This has been the best investment I’ve made in myself and I would urge anyone to take the plunge! You won’t regret it.

My wife and I have been working with Luke on various S&C projects for the last couple years now. Highly recommend his skill set to anyone looking to improve strength and all round performance.

WHEN YOUR READY, COME IN
The most useful first step is a conversation in the facility itself. Walk through the space, meet the team, and talk through what you are working towards. The door is open.
