BLK BOX Partners with Pod1um: Elevating Performance Coaching

BLK BOX is pleased to announce our partnership with Pod1um, a cutting-edge performance app designed to connect athletes of all levels with world-class coaches through a single, free-to-use platform. Built by professionals for everyday use, Pod1um is set to redefine how training is delivered, tracked, and protected.

Founded by Conor Finn, former strength and conditioning coach with Mayo GAA, and Barry Solan, Arsenal’s highly respected former strength and conditioning coach, Pod1um emerged from the critical gaps they identified in the sports coaching landscape during the pandemic.

Leveraging their combined 30+ years in sport and fitness, Finn and Solan built a platform that eliminates common coaching frictions and bridges the trust gap for athletes.

Solving Key Challenges

BLK BOX Partners with Pod1um: Elevating Performance Coaching

For Coaches: Pod1um addresses issues like high setup costs, inconsistent income, and the struggle to stand out in a saturated market. It provides free coaching tools, built-in revenue options, global scalability features, verified coach profiles to enhance trust and visibility, and secure content protection to prevent unauthorised sharing.

For Athletes: The challenge was finding credible, sport-specific training guidance in a largely unregulated space. Pod1um’s curated marketplace connects athletes to trusted professionals, offers free workouts and tools, and provides transparent premium memberships with responsive support – all designed to make elite coaching more accessible and trustworthy.

Credible, Real Coaching

Using BLK BOX’s HQ gym as the backdrop, Pod1um now features:

  • Thousands of professionally filmed exercise demonstrations 

  • A flexible programming interface that coaches can use to build sessions however they like

  • Comprehensive team management tools 

  • Advanced athlete tracking capabilities 

Whether it’s gym work, rehab, pitch-based conditioning, or sport-specific performance blocks, all your training needs are consolidated in one place. 

What truly sets Pod1um apart is its credibility. The company has been quietly powering the programming behind some of the world’s top athletes and teams, and has already amassed an impressive lineup of renowned professionals on its marketplace, with significant expansion plans for the coming months.

This credibility is further reinforced by a host of high-profile athlete investors, including Danny Welbeck, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kieran Gibbs – who each understand first-hand the immense value of expert coaching and the power of a trusted platform to deliver it at scale.

Where BLK BOX Fits In

At BLK BOX, we’re proud to partner with Pod1um in supporting the next generation of coaching and performance. Many of the strength and conditioning demonstrations were filmed at our HQ using BLK BOX equipment – ensuring that the visuals precisely match the quality of the elite coaching behind them.

Soon, coaches and athletes using Pod1um will gain access to exclusive discounts on BLK BOX equipment, while BLK BOX customers will benefit from special discounts and offers from Pod1um.
