“It makes every rep accountable.”
About Wigan Warriors
“Players just aren't plodding through sessions; they're attacking every rep.”
Wigan Warriors are a professional rugby league club based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, competing in the Betfred Super League—the top tier of British rugby league. We caught up with Head of Strength & Conditioning, Chris Barron, to learn how the team is integrating Output Sports into their training.
Versatility of Output
“The beauty of Output is that it's very practical; you can attach it to a barbell or parts of your body to track various performance metrics.”
This adaptability allows Chris and his team to track barbell velocities and combine them with load data to monitor power output. By tracking these adaptations over time, Chris can optimize training volumes while avoiding unnecessary fatigue. Additionally, Output is used to track ballistic exercises such as medicine ball throws and jumps, offering a flexible solution for various performance metrics.
Autoregulate Training to Mitigate Fatigue
“Output allows us to continually train and cause specific adaptations despite fatigue.”
Rugby league is a demanding, high-impact sport, and as the season progresses, athletes experience cumulative fatigue. Output enables Chris to deliver effective strength and conditioning programs while managing this fatigue. Using velocity targets, players can adjust loads to stay within these zones, helping maintain progress throughout the season.

Optimizing Intent Through Leaderboards
“We know on that day the players are giving their all and the most intent.”
By using leaderboards, Wigan creates a competitive culture in the gym, ensuring players approach each rep with intent, preventing passive sessions where “players can sometimes just go through the motions.”
Customer Support
“Output has been really good to us at Wigan… If we have any issues or queries, they answer them straight away.”
Chris and his team appreciate Output’s quick responses and reliable support, helping him optimize his training approach and create an environment focused on driving intent and performance at Wigan Warriors.
