ViPR for sports coaches and athletes
Whether you’re training for success on-pitch, on-court or on the podium, training with ViPR introduces whole-body movement mechanics to your workout in a functional and effective way.
Unlike conventional exercise drills, ViPR replicates the precise movements that you will be making in a game allowing you to integrate strength training with strategy formation.
Yet building strength is just half the story. Introducing ViPR to your drills can help prevent injury by using the exercises tailored to prehab.
ViPR has already been embraced by the rugby community with Cornish Pirates star and Social Vibe ViPR Pups rugby coach Rhodri Mcatee commenting: “It is a great tool for warming up as it works the whole body in a number of different ways. It also can help in conditioning the body. ViPR has outstanding design and is a fantastic idea.”

Testimonials from sport coaches and athletes
“At London Irish we use ViPR for all groups of players - from academy to senior internationals and injured players.
“The uses to which we can put ViPR encompass mobility, core work and power and conditioning training and rehabilitation.
“ViPR really does everything you want. If you can think of a movement pattern for your sport, ViPR will be able to train it.“
Rob Palmer, Strength and Conditioning Coach, London Irish RUFC
“I am compelled to write having just used ViPR for the first time. I am a wheelchair athlete, part of the Great Britain Cycling Team at the 2010 World Championships, and am currently training for the 2012 Paralympics. Being paralysed from the chest down, I find regular weights / dumbbells tricky to use as my core strength and balance are non-existent. However, using ViPR I've been able to do all sorts of movements not possible with other free weights, due to the extra support that the design gives me.
“I'm very excited to have discovered it and think its going to be a great training aid to help me on my course for 2012."
