Football training, powered by Wattbike

Football demands more than match-day skill. It takes repeat sprint ability, endurance, power, recovery and the ability to train consistently without adding unnecessary load through the legs.

That is why Wattbike has a long-established connection with professional football. From England teams at St George’s Park to leading clubs across the Premier League, Europe and the MLS, Wattbikes are used for fitness testing, off-feet conditioning, performance progression, rehabilitation and recovery.

Whether you play Sunday league, 5-a-side, semi-professionally or simply want to train with more purpose, Wattbike gives you access to the same performance-focused training principles used in elite football - including football-themed workouts in the free Wattbike Hub app

Football Workouts on the Wattbike Hub App

To celebrate the start of the summer of football, we're bringing a variety of football-themed workouts to the Wattbike Hub app: Aerobic Engine, Counter-Attack, Extra Time, Football Burner, It's Coming Home and Tiki-Taka.

Aerobic Engine

The session starts with 13-minute warm-up. You'll then complete 3 x 5-muinte efforts at 85% of you FTP. The session finished with a 4-minute cool down.

Counter Attack

Build the repeat sprint ability needed for fast transitions, pressing and explosive breaks. This high-intensity session targets the anaerobic energy systems used when the game suddenly changes pace.

Extra Time

Train your ability to keep working when fatigue sets in. Extra Time is built to challenge your endurance and help you find the extra effort when it matters most.

Tiki-Taka

Inspired by the intensity of small-sided games, Tiki-Taka combines aerobic conditioning with repeated changes in effort. Use it to support the engine needed for high-tempo football.

It's Coming Home

Experience the level of fitness you need to be able to play at the top level of football with this workout.
