1-1 Performance Coaching

Trainwright Performance

The gold standard of rugby programming

A good programme can get you most of the way there as a rugby athlete. That’s why we developed TrainWright Rugby Performance Programming, and players from all over the world have gotten great value from it.

But to be truly elite, to reach the 1% of rugby performance? A much more sophisticated approach is needed. You won’t cook like Gordon Ramsay, even if he tells you his exact recipe. You won’t act like Robert DeNiro, even if you have the same script as him.

The difference is, in a word: MASTERY. To be truly elite, you need to eat, sleep and breathe the job. You need to know the fine details, and understand how to think, evolve and adapt. And coaching is no different.

If you’re a rugby athlete training by yourself with a good programme, you can probably make some solid progress. You’ll get bigger, stronger, faster, fitter and more robust to injury. But unless you have formal education in physical performance or thousands of hours of coaching under your belt, it’s unlikely you’ll reach the very upper echelon of rugby performance.

Join The 1% Of Rugby Performance

Trainwright Performance

That’s where we come in. Briefly putting aside humility, at TrainWright we consider ourselves masters of helping rugby athletes to achieve elite physical performance. We've spent years coaching and playing in professional rugby for Premiership and European Champions, Exeter Chiefs. We make our living full time working exclusively with rugby players in the private sector. We live this shit. 

TrainWright 1st XV is our exclusive training group for serious, dedicated rugby athletes who want to be in that 1%. Every aspect of this programme is tailored to your individual needs and goals: 

How 1st XV works...

 

As a member of TrainWright 1st XV, strength and conditioning will no longer be bolted on to rugby as an afterthought like so many players.

Rather, it’ll be an integral piece of your programme that seamlessly fits into yourbroader plan. Not only are we confident this will be the best rugby performance programme you’ve ever done, it’ll be the most convenient and easy to follow too. All you need to do is train hard and follow instructions, and we’ll do the rest for you.

Here’s a list of the additional benefits you’ll get access too inside of 1st XV that are not available to regular members of TrainWright Rugby Performance Programming:

100% Individualised Workouts For Every Session
The sessions will be entirely personalised around you, your goals, the demands of your position, how you play the game and a focus on developing areas of weakness. So, you'll be able to take to the pitch with 100% confidence you've ticked all the right boxes.

1-1 Weekly Check Ins
We will check in with you every week. This will allow us to regularly update the plan, whether you've had a big spike in rugby training, work is crushing you at the moment or you've had a hard game on Saturday. We'll take this all on board and update your plan.

24/7 Unlimited Support & Guidance
On the 1st XV plan, we are with you every step of the way. If you're struggling with training-related issues, we are on hand to assist at any time of day as much or little as you need. This ensures that you are getting the same level of care as the pro's . 

Ongoing Programme Adjustments
Sometimes, what we planned initially isn't appropriate for the circumstances. Whether you have picked up a niggle playing and we now need to programme around it, or your on-field volume has drastically increased. We can account for all this with the 1st XV plan.

Performance Testing with Feedback & Analysis
What you measure matters, but only if you're measuring the right things. Having worked at the highest level, we know the tests to use and what this data means. Allowing us to laser in on specific weaknesses and take your game to the next level. 

Nutritional & Lifestyle Support
It's all well and good training like a caged animal, attacking every session. But if you aren't doing everything correctly away from training, it's a recipe for plateauing or, worse, injury. We'll be on hand to guide you through everything you need. 

Video Coaching Feedback & Movement Analysis 
1st XV is like working with a full time S&C coach with you in the gym (for a tiny % of the cost!). To help as much as possible we'll critique and provide feedback so you're getting the most from your effort and improving in every area. 

"How much is the 1st XV?"

Inside of the 1st XV, we’ve left no stone unturned. We cap this group at 20 athletes at any one time to ensure maximum quality, and give every client the time and attention they need to get every last drop of performance out of their training.

As you can guess, and for good reason, such a programme does not come cheap. Our programmes start at a minimum of £164 per month, with significant discounts offered for annual packages.

If you’re just starting out in your training or you’re short on money, we highly recommend checking out TrainWright Rugby Performance Programming. You’ll still get great results. But if you’re a serious rugby athlete, with decent training experience, who is looking to make massive progress in a short space of time and get to the next level, the 1st XV is for you.

"Harry’s been amazing the past two years. Helped me get back into rugby in a much better position through all the S&C work we did together. Guided me through my ACL operation with great 1 on 1s every week with focus on a variety of elements. All round nice guy and really knows what he’s doing. Couldn’t have done it without him!"

Fred Bridger
★★★★★
"Working with TrainWright Performance has been an absolute game changer. Being a Personal Trainer myself can really affect doing my own programming so it was super refreshing having them doing my In-Season and Off-Season programming. Their programming not only helped me increase my strength, power and endurance but the way everything translated onto the field was amazing. I truly felt like I was able to be the best player I can be on that rugby pitch. Couldn’t recommend TrainWright Performance enough to anyone wanting to improve their rugby performance. Excited to be working with them again this upcoming fall season."

"I’ve been working with Harry now for around 8 months. Being a Nat 1 Rugby player he has taken my performance to another level. Completely tailors your programme to the needs of your position and is very responsive to any bumps on the road you may usually ascertain whilst playing a contact sport. Could not recommend him more. Thanks guys."

"Been with Trainwright for nearly three years now and can honestly not recommend them enough, very professional, knowledgeable, friendly guys and have brought my strength and conditioning to a level I never knew it could be. The personalised and tailored programs are perfect for me trying to fit in the gym around work whilst playing semi pro rugby and are always thoroughly explained to avoid any confusion with exercises. Can’t thank the guys enough????????????????"
 
Joe Elsworth
★★★★★
"Highly recommend Trainwright, they really helped me tap into all my strength and power with a plan specified to my sport’s position. They checked in daily to comment on form and give tips for the next time. If you’ve never had a personal trainer before, these guys are the best possible option, filled me with so much confidence."

Alex Bennett
★★★★★
"I can't recommend Trainwright highly enough. I’ve been online programmed by the team for over 2 years now and they have been brilliant with supporting and improving my S&C both in & out of season to ensure I
can perform at a competitive level. With Harry & Charlie coming from professional
sport, they know exactly what it's like to be an athlete. Programmes were regularly
tailored to achieve specific goals whilst making sessions enjoyable and not mundane!"
 
Jack Rouse
★★★★★
"Brilliant programming, performance on and off the pitch has come on leaps and bounds since being with trainwright. More athletic than ever, more powerful than ever and the additional pumps added is exactly what most rugby players love. Great blend between wanted to leave the gym feeling good as well as having a full focus on performance. Couldn’t recommend highly enough"
