Explosive Strength Training

Powerful tackles, scrums, and explosive moves are a part of rugby’s physical demands. Our training focuses on building the strength you need to perform in these high-intensity moments, helping you dominate every aspect of the game.

Speed and agility are critical when you’re sprinting for a try or defending a break. Our rugby-specific speed training helps improve your sprint times, acceleration, and ability to change direction quickly, giving you the edge over your opponents.

Mobility Training

In rugby, mobility is just as important as strength. We focus on exercises that enhance flexibility and joint mobility, helping you perform fluid movements during tackles, rucks, and lineouts while also reducing injury risks.

Progress Tracking

Our progress tracking system monitors your performance to make sure you're improving in the right areas. By measuring key metrics, we adjust your training to make sure you’re always getting better and improving your game.

What Our Athletes Say

Rob & his team @ E.A.T.S. are great, the in-season program they provided for our U-15 AAA Hockey Club was excellent. The attention to detail by the entire staff is great and the accountability they held the team to was very appreciated.

I’ve been training at Elite Athlete Training Systems for 4 years now and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. When I’m there I feel like I can focus on what I’m doing with no distractions. The hardest I’ve ever worked has come from this gym and although it sucks when you’re in it, it makes you much stronger physically and mentally.

I’m blown away by the attention to detail that every aspect of the EATS method includes. These boys know how to prepare, period. Culture in a training environment is key and E.A.T.S. brings that every day...

Brad and the environment at E.A.T.S not only pushes me to live at a higher standard every day I’m in there but demands it! Any athlete or individual that wants to push themselves....

Over the past 4 years Eats has become more than a place for me to train and become a better athlete, but it has also help me become a better person all around in every area of my life and also has shown me a greater appreciation for my life...

I wouldn't be where I'm at if it weren't for EATS and all the work we put in. If you want to be great you know where to go!

A lot of my success in 2021-22 can be credited to time spent at The Gorilla Compound (E.A.T.S.) If you're an athlete looking to have a big season, this is probably the place you should be.

Questions About E.A.T.S.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do rugby teams /players use E.A.T.S. training during the off-season or during the season?

We customize your training to meet both your objectives and your schedule. During the off-season, we usually ramp up our training to focus on developing strength and power. Throughout the season, we put a lot of emphasis on injury prevention, mobility, and maintenance to make sure you're prepared for every game.

What is the process to train with E.A.T.S.?

Contact us to get started with a free athlete consultation call. We will discuss with you your sports history, current training regimen, your in-sport goals, injury history and budget. From then, we book with your in-person athlete assessment. The assessment is a multi-step test to evaluate possible areas of improvement. The results from the athlete assessment will determine whether we recommend you start your training in either the beginner or advanced stream. Once the assessment is completed, we will establish a training schedule that's convenient for you and begin your training!

How often should I attend training sessions?

For optimal results, we recommend attending training sessions at the E.A.T.S. gym three to four times a week. This frequency allows for consistent progress while ensuring adequate time for recovery. If you're interested in giving our program and facility a try, join us for drop-in strength training every Saturday.

Will my athlete training program be personalized to me?

Yes, the outcomes of the athlete assessment and the player's rugby position will determine how each strength and conditioning program is modified.
