Grassroots and amateur players rarely get the training and support that professionals take for granted. Rugger is built to change that.

Rugger was built by Dan Boer, a UKSCA accredited strength and conditioning coach with an MSc in Strength and Conditioning. He has spent over ten years in elite sport, working with professional footballers, semi-pro rugby players, university (BUCS) teams and Olympic medal winning athletes. He has also played both 7s and 15s, including international representation for Germany. Every Rugger programme follows the same principles he uses with them.

Questions

Good to Know

What do I need to use Rugger?

A phone or computer with a web browser. On your phone, add Rugger to your home screen and it opens like an app.

I'm new to the gym. Can I still use it?

Yes. Rugger matches your exercises to your experience, and each block builds on the last as you get stronger.

Does it work all year round?

Yes. Rugger is designed to be your personal programme all year round. In season it runs six week blocks around your matches, and pre-season and off-season blocks are on the way.

What if my gym doesn't have something?

Rugger is built for a standard gym. If a piece of kit isn't available, swap the exercise for a similar one, just for today or for the rest of your block.

What if my club isn't on Rugger?

You can still use it on your own. Add your club's training and match days and your programme fits around them. If your club joins later, you can join their squad.

Who can see my training?

Your club only sees your training if you choose to share it with them, and you can stop at any time. Our Privacy Policy explains what we keep and why.
