Question 1

Is this just another generic rugby training plan?

Accepted Answer

No. GM ASCENT PERFORMANCE does not give every player the same static programme. Your programme is built around your rugby position, season phase, training schedule, available equipment and the information you provide during your assessment. The aim is to give an adult club player structure instead of leaving them to piece together their own training.

Question 2

How does my position change my programme?

Accepted Answer

Rugby positions place different demands on players. A prop should not simply receive the same programme as a winger with a different label on it. GM ASCENT uses your position alongside your season phase and other profile information when building your programme.

Question 3

What happens when my readiness changes?

Accepted Answer

Your daily readiness check considers factors including sleep, soreness, fatigue, stress and motivation. Readiness can inform adjustments to that day’s training rather than assuming every planned session should be performed exactly as written regardless of how you are responding.

Question 4

What if I’m injured or carrying a niggle?

Accepted Answer

You can record current injuries and restrictions so the programme can avoid exercises that are inappropriate for the information you have provided. GM ASCENT PERFORMANCE is not a physiotherapist, doctor or rehabilitation service. It does not diagnose, treat or rehabilitate injuries. If you are injured, unwell or unsure whether you should train, seek appropriate professional medical advice.

Question 5

What happens after the 7-day free trial?

Accepted Answer

Monthly and annual memberships include a single 7-day free trial per person. The trial converts automatically into a paid membership at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before it ends. Memberships renew automatically at the price shown at purchase until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from Membership in the app; access continues until the end of the period already paid for. Founding Lifetime is a single payment and does not include a free trial.

Question 6

Who built GM ASCENT PERFORMANCE?

Accepted Answer

GM ASCENT PERFORMANCE was founded by Gary Mitchell, drawing on more than 30 years around rugby alongside a career in military leadership and healthcare. It was built to give adult club players without their own S&C coach a structured way to train around the demands of rugby.
