So we know the difference between workouts which
deliver and those which don’t. This is our craft.

To be able to tap into the knowledge and experience of the team at Ply through the use of their app has helped my training immensely. To have workouts of this standard which support the specific training for my sport that I can place complete trust in has helped improve my performance immeasurably.

The difference with Ply is their emphasis on an 'explorative' and 'restorative' approach to training. This app is a window into long gathered expertise from top level professionals who intuitively understand the secrets of unlocking the body's potential in a safe and efficient way. As a physiotherapist, I back Ply's intention to improve quality of movement and make both joint position and repair a priority. They understand intuitively that gains in power are worth nothing without body control and recovery.
Ply is home to countless premium level workouts, built by professionals, used by athletes at the top of their game, but made for you. Gain unlimited access to these challenging workouts, tried, tested and perfected in competitive sporting environments.
Beware of workout monotony. It's the mother of all deadly sins! The Ply App is set across 14 different workout categories providing fresh options for you to try whenever you like. They are simple, effective and tough. Program fatigue and training plateaus are now a thing of the past!
How we like to explore might be different to how you like to explore. So our fully customisable workouts allow you to work at your level to meet your goals. Add, swap, move or delete exercises. Choose your own rest period. Record as much or as little as you want. Any edits you make will be ready for you the next time you workout!
Our workouts also come with a combine with feature, so you can put the best workouts together and plan a great weeks training!
Often times in a workout there is a specific exercise, which for one reason or another is just not right for your current needs. All our Ply workouts provide a graded selection of easier and more challenging alternatives for each exercise. Developed by our elite coaches, it’s one of our favourite features. Simply swipe and swap, to create the perfect fit for you.
Following 20 years of industry experience training elite athletes we couldn’t find a workout card we liked well enough, so we created our own! Simple, intuitive and beautifully designed workout cards, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, record as much or as little of your data as you wish.
Every exercise in every workout has a video with simple exercise cues and coaching tips to allow you to complete the exercise safely and with correct form.
Build your workout library. Access your favourite workouts. Track your workout history. Check your personal bests.
Nothing quite beats finishing, so let’s celebrate these wins. When you finish a workout, you’ll receive a celebration card. If you go one better and hit a personal best you’ll get a PB card. Feel free to share these with the ply community or keep the head down and keep collecting!
