As the rugby world gears up for the highly anticipated Six Nations tournament, our French distributors Incept Sport, had the incredible opportunity to step inside one of the most advanced training facilities in the sport. The French Rugby Team's gym in Marcoussis, south of Paris, is set across a 20-hectare (49-acre) campus, this state-of-the-art facility is where the players transform into the world-class athletes we see dominating the pitch.
From five pristine rugby pitches, to a gym equipped with cutting-edge equipment, including eight Wattbike Pros, The National Rugby Centre (CNR) is more than a training ground - it’s designed specifically for champions.
The French Rugby Team’s training facility is a testament to their commitment to excellence. Beyond the gym, it features medical facilities, a swimming pool, a media centre, and even a library - everything a player needs to achieve peak performance both physically and mentally. But it’s inside the gym that the players build the power, endurance, and speed required to compete at the highest level.
Central to their training are the Wattbike Pros, trusted by the best to deliver precise performance data and tailored workouts. The eight Wattbike Pros in the CNR are integral to the players' conditioning, helping them achieve the fitness levels required to outlast their opponents on the field.
The Six Nations tournament brings together the best rugby teams in Europe, each with its own world-class training setup. From England’s elite facilities at Pennyhill Park to Ireland’s High-Performance Centre, one thing remains consistent: Wattbikes are a staple in their gyms.
Why? Because Wattbike’s unparalleled accuracy, unique ability to reduce joint strain by offloading stress from on feet training—all without compromising training intensity and cutting-edge performance insights make it the ultimate training tool for professional athletes. By replicating the demands of competition and offering precise data on power, cadence, and unilateral feedback, Wattbike allows athletes and coaches to fine-tune their training and push their limits.
You don’t have to be a Six Nations player to train like one. Wattbike isn’t just for elite athletes; it’s for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness, no matter their goal. Whether you’re training for a sport, aiming to increase your endurance, or just want a fun and effective way to stay fit, Wattbike can help you reach the next level.
