Your first gym session: a coach assesses how you move, then discusses the training that fits you.
No. Of course, working with football players is a big part of what we do, but we also work with a wide range of athletes in other sports, including ice hockey, show jumping, swimming, cricket, rugby and more.
No. Playermade works with the entire spectrum of athletes, including juniors playing grassroots right up to football players playing in the Premier League. All we ask is that anyone looking to join the gym is motivated to develop and keen to learn. Playermade is open to working with athletes from as young as 6 years old, subject to a successful Movement Screen.
Playermade is located in Leicester, close to Queens Road and Victoria Park, LE2 3EJ.
The Movement Screen is a way of looking at all your movement qualities, including how you run and jump, as well as perform basic strength-based exercises.
Each Movement Screen lasts around 45 minutes, giving you time to discuss next steps with your designated coach.
Movement Screens are open to players of any sport aged 6 and over.
Playermade does expect those who seek to access its services to have a keen interest in sporting development as well as already being part of some form of team or structured training outside of Playermade.
