When it comes to fitness, most of us rely on how we feel to measure progress. Maybe you notice a heavier lift, a faster run, or simply that your jeans fit better. But what if you could see exactly what your body was doing beneath the surface 0 where your strengths lie, where imbalances creep in, and how to fix them before they become problems? That’s the promise of Quay Function Assessment powered by VALD technology. and it’s now available in Sydney through Virgin Active Bondi Westfield.
Science in the service of your body
Used by elite sports teams, high-performance coaches, and top physiotherapists worldwide, Quay Function Assessment, powered by VALD technology has earned its reputation as the gold standard for movement and performance testing. It’s not a single tool, but a suite of advanced systems designed to give a complete picture of how your body works.
- ForceDecks use dual force plates to measure jump height, balance, and asymmetries in strength and power.
- DynaMo, a handheld dynamometer and inclinometer, captures detailed data on strength and range of motion.
- ForceFrame tests isolated muscle groups for stability and resilience.
- And the NordBord, often used in professional football and rugby clubs, specifically assesses hamstring strength – an area notorious for injury.
All of this information is collected in the VALD Hub, a centralised platform that transforms raw numbers into clear insights. You’ll see how you compare against population norms, where weaknesses or risks might be hiding, and how your performance is tracking over time.
Why it matters for you
For the everyday athlete – or anyone who simply wants to move better – this means no more guesswork. VALD screenings take the “I think” out of training and recovery, replacing it with “I know.” That sore knee might not just be from overtraining, but from a strength imbalance you hadn’t spotted. That sluggishness after long runs could be linked to movement inefficiencies revealed in your data. And the beauty of Quay Function Assessment powered by VALD technology is that it doesn’t just flag the issues — it guides the solutions.
At Quay Health, physiotherapists and performance specialists use VALD results to build personalised programs for injury rehab, performance optimisation, and long-term wellbeing. Every improvement is measurable, every milestone is trackable, and every strategy is grounded in hard data. It’s like having a scientific playbook for your body.
From precision to pleasure
But, here’s the twist: wellness isn’t only about numbers. Once you’ve unlocked your personal insights with VALD, you’ll want a place to put them into practice. And, that’s where Virgin Active Bondi Westfield comes in.
This isn’t your average gym. Spanning 2,500 sqm in the heart of the Eastern Suburbs, it’s a luxurious wellness hub that balances hard training with indulgent recovery. Think Reformer Pilates, Lift and Run Clubs, and a gym floor packed with premium equipment. Then add Finnish and infrared saunas, hydrotherapy spas, cold plunges, marble-heated recovery slabs, compression boots, massage therapy, and even a sustainably sourced café to refuel afterwards.
By pairing VALD screenings at Quay Health with the holistic environment at Virgin Active, you’re not just working out – you’re engaging in a complete cycle of science and sanctuary. Data informs your training, recovery supports your progress, and the result is a fitness journey that feels as good as it is effective.

Whether you’re coming back from injury, looking to elevate your performance, or simply curious about how to make your workouts more efficient, Quay Function Assessment powered by VALD technology offers clarity where there used to be guesswork. And with Virgin Active Bondi Westfield creating a space where wellness feels like a lifestyle, not a chore, it’s never been easier to turn cutting-edge science into everyday transformation.
