Used correctly the quality of movement is never compromised leading to greater balance, coordination, power and conditioning gains.”
Initially Powerbag was placed in the toughest elite sporting environments including England’s World Cup winning rugby squad. Glowing reports emerged and the rest of the world’s top international rugby teams and clubs have followed suit. Powerbag has also been adopted by leading: football clubs, athletes, cricketers, tennis players, golfers, squash players, racing drivers, boxers, martial artists and many others. The products have also become integral to the conditioning of all branches of the UK’s armed forces and have been shipped out to many of the world’s current trouble spots including Iraq and Afghanistan.
Further practical application and input was gained from Loughborough University and numerous British sporting academies and centres of excellence where athletes and coaches have made Powerbag a central component of conditioning and performance training.

Powerbag is one of the simplest ideas I have come across and unquestionably one of the most effective. I have no hesitation in using them myself and with clients from athletes to schoolchildren.”
