Match Ready: Rugby Training

Strength and conditioning for amateur rugby union players, planned around your club week. Your training nights, your fixtures, your position and how you feel each morning: Match Ready builds your gym and conditioning sessions around all of it, then adjusts each one so you can play the last game of the season stronger than the first. BUILT AROUND YOUR CLUB WEEK • Pick your club and team and your squad's fixtures come in automatically. Mark games you'll miss, add extra games for another team, and invite teammates with a code. • Tell it your club training nights and season dates. The club week stays fixed; only the app's own sessions move. • No heavy legs the day before or after a match. Strength lands 2–3 days after the game, power about 2 days before the next. • Two-game weeks, big fixtures, Christmas breaks and late pre-seasons are all planned for. BY POSITION • Six position groups: front row, second row, back row, half backs, centres and back three. • Forwards choose their lineout role: jumper, lifter, both or neither. • Front-row neck and trunk strength, back-row repeated efforts, back-three top speed and hamstrings. A 60-SECOND MORNING CHECK-IN • Three jumps and four quick taps for sleep, soreness, energy and mood. • Compared only with your own normal, never with anyone else. • Green: train as planned. Amber: same weights, fewer sets. Red: move it to tomorrow or run a recovery version. • Every change comes with a one-line reason, and one tap overrides it. SESSIONS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE • Choose 45, 60 or 75 minutes, in the gym or at home with bodyweight, bands and a backpack. • Weights move from how your last sets felt. Use an estimated or a true one-rep max. • Neck, shoulder and scrum work, Nordic hamstring curls and trunk work are built in, and never cut when time runs short. • A warm-up built on the same research as World Rugby's Activate programme, plus a timed match-day warm-up. • A 35+ setting with more recovery after games, calf and Achilles work and speed kept every week. SAFETY TOOLS, ALWAYS FREE • Possible head injury? One tap locks training and shows NHS 111 and 999 guidance, then walks you through England Rugby's graduated return timeline day by day. The app never tells you you're fit to play: a doctor decides that. • Pain reporting with red-flag advice, illness guidance and support links. • These tools work for everyone, with or without a subscription.
