Would not recommend. Generic programming can find cheaper and more effective elsewhere which is more suited to individual needs. Nutrition package is extremely poor.

This is the worst place to get to get…worst ever
This is the worst place to get to get anything done with the owner and his bf Barney drummond being a drug dealer and the owner letting him use his premises
Avoid like the plague

I think that for some people it had a good gym programs. For me I was a bit confused what the difference was between the 2 apps and on the app where I filled in all my measurements it didn’t gave me the programs I expected fron what I had seen on instagram. The other app had, in my opinion, better programs but if you finished one didn’t have much new ones.
Excellent program to gain muscle mass.

Honestly the best app that I have used for trying to lose weight. Workouts out very clear on what I have to do and the videos are a big help. I have done a mix of home and gym workouts using this app and all are great. Could not recommend this app anymore if your are looking to build muscle, lose weight or get in rugby shape. Great app
SW7 Academy is fantastic - 10 stars!
SW7 Academy is fantastic for anyone looking to improve their strength, power, and overall rugby fitness. We started training with them at the beginning of the offseason, and have seen amazing results on the field already.
The coaches at SW7 are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and they take a very personalised approach to training, adapting to playing injuries and all the other random constraints that life throws up! They work with you to create a program that is tailored to your individual needs and goals, and they provide constant feedback and support to help you reach your full potential.
I'm particularly impressed with SW7's attention to detail. The coaches are always paying attention to form and technique.
I'm so glad I chose SW7 Academy. If you're looking for an approach that will genuinely up your game, I highly recommend them.
Performance Academy
I have been a member of the Performance Academy for 2 months now and can honestly say best decision I have made.
I have played sport all my life but never utilised gym as I felt lost and unsure how to train, since I started I have felt more confident in the gym and found the personalised structured sessions really enjoyable.
Communication from the team really helps aid motivation and has left me feeling more accountable to my training.
The Team go above and beyond to help and really care about your success this is proven by the attention to detail they have shown in my program, as I am recovering from a ACL Reconstruction Surgery,
Personally I feel that if I was not a member of SW7 performance academy I wouldn’t not be the stage I am now and ow my my accelerated recovery to Niamh and the team.
I could not recommend SW7 Performance Academy enough.
Performance Academy is unmatched and exactly what I needed
I joined the SW7 performance Academy when it first started, and I can't say enough about how fantastic this group is.
One of the standout features of SW7 Academy is their unique approach to training. They don't just focus on standard resistance training etc... they really take into account individual goals, lifestyles and bodies. For example I currently train powerlifting and any coaches I have had have never included anything regarding nutrition, mobility and functional movements, which are all huge aspects of life.
Incorporating these aspects into their training programs has not only helped me improve my powerlifting performance but also my overall fitness and well-being. It's a holistic approach that sets them apart from the rest. The app is also super accessible and explains everything so clearly.
Also, the coaches at SW7 Academy are top-notch genuine. Their expertise and dedication to helping you reach your goals are second to none. They tailor their guidance to your individual needs and continually challenge you to improve. You can tell they genuinely care about your progress and are invested in your success.
Highly recommend!
World class programming and support
World class programming and support. My training had no direction before and I wasn’t seeing progress, would just turn up to the gym and do whatever - now I’m training less often and seeing better results, not crawling out of the gym and feel great all week!

100% the best training app out there
100% the best training app out there. On point advice, totally trust the team and they put so much into their customers. Total transparency, no BS, top value for money. Amazing to be working with SW, CT and JD. Keep it coming and feeling stronger all the time.

Excellent app
Excellent app, food and training plans are both clear and allow for gaining muscle or losing body fat. I don't play rugby and it works just as well for me ad it does for those following in Sam's footsteps. Can't recommend it highly enough.
World Class Experience
Although targeted at rugby players you will not find a better online PT / Training offering ! The scheduling of training and nutrition is superb and I challenge you to find anywhere that brings it altogether and delivers it through an app like SW7 Academy does.
To have a program that is personal to you both in terms of training and nutrition is superb, and to know that you have world class coaches and athletes there to support you through your journey is spot on.
You will not find a better value for money online training offering outside of SW7 Academy - FACT !!
I’ve been on board with these guys…
I’ve been on board with these guys since they launched this academy. I can honestly say I’ve never looked back & I’m also encouraging Juniors to look at SW7 program.
Excellent
Excellent programme, a close knit community always on hand to help and the app is really easy to use
Top professional coaches
Top professional coaches. It’s obvious they have put thought and effort into each session /block they create.
Seriously recommend to any rugby player or anyone just wanting to get fit
Worth it
Worth it. Good resource, easy to follow, always on hand to help. Do yourself a favour and join.
Easily best training program
Easily the best fitness/training programme I've used. Always lacked consistency in the past but I've now trained 4 times a week for 7 months. App works seamlessly and provides full history so achievements are trackable and can see progression. Full pro level support provided for all aspects whether that is anything relating to programme, form, nutrition or adaptations due to injury etc. Wouldn't use any other.
Really impressed
Really impressed with the content and support. Thought I knew what I was doing at the gym until I but the bullet and tried this. Taken my workouts to another level and would recommend it to anyone that will listen!
So Convenient
Everything handled for you. Gives you complete confidence that you're eating and training right. All you have to do is put in the work!
Excellent
Excellent, individually tailored training programs! Great Facebook group for Q & A's and competitions.
100/10
Bang on. Great programming, excellent support and (if you put the work in!) stellar results!
