I build your programme around you: more strength, more explosiveness, fewer injuries.
About me
I don't coach padel.
I train what lets you play it at your best.
I'm Riccardo Piras, a strength and conditioning coach specialising in padel. My work starts from a simple question: how do we make the body stronger, sharper and more resistant to what the court really demands?
To answer it I built my path across Italy, France, Belgium and Spain, all the way to Madrid, where I now work closely with the professional padel world.
My approach starts with you: your level, the way you play, your characteristics and what you want to improve. No off-the-shelf programmes.
The goal isn't simply to make you train more. It's to help you move better, be more effective in the rallies, hold your intensity to the last point and reduce the risk of being stopped by an injury.
On court you think about the game. I'll take care of the physical preparation.

Where to find me
I've been training with Riccardo for over three years and I really appreciate his progressive, person-centred approach. Every session is designed to be effective, sustainable and adapted to your real needs. In my case I had a joint problem in my knee, and I can say the work with him had a very positive impact: better mobility, less pain and a gradual return of confidence in my movements. The sessions are always stimulating, manageable but never trivial. Riccardo is a serious, well-prepared and passionate professional. Highly recommended!
I worked remotely with Ricardo to improve my padel performance and I have to say it was truly excellent. He's very knowledgeable, easy to reach and always available to answer any question. Even though the sessions are online, they feel very personal and engaging. I've already noticed improvements and I'd recommend him to anyone who wants the same results!
The quality of the training, the planning and the way Ricci treats you are incredible. This year I was able to start training with him and it's been my discovery, because I feel that every session has a personal meaning connected to my goals.
Ricardo is an exceptional physical coach, highly professional, passionate, and deeply attentive to individual needs. His approach is smart, adaptable, and always focused on long-term progress. I train with him twice a week in person in Madrid, and twice a week through his app, which is super intuitive and easy to use. He follows up on every session, gives constructive feedback, and constantly adjusts the program to keep me improving safely and efficiently. He's a top-level coach, with great energy and precision in everything he does. I can't recommend him enough.
I've been playing padel for 4 years. After a while I asked myself why you'd take "lessons" on court but not for physical preparation too, which, if you want to reach a good level, counts as much as technique. I started working with Riccardo and after 6 months I can say the results really show. Personalised programme, great availability and professionalism. Technically I'm still the player I was 😅 but at least we've sorted out the athletic side 😎 Recommended
Frequently asked questions
Absolutely not. You don't need to arrive in shape: you need the will to start. Everything begins from your real physical level, which we assess together at the start, and from there we build the programme step by step.
Not necessarily. Every programme is personalised: I adapt it to what you actually have: equipment, space and time, as well as your goals. If you have a gym we use it, and if you train at home I build the programme around that.
Yes, but we talk about it first. The call that follows the first-contact form is there for exactly this: to understand what happened, where you are now and whether I can genuinely help. If another professional needs to come before me, I'll tell you.
I've been working online for years and I've built an ecosystem designed for it: my app with the workouts and your data, a dedicated support service and other people working alongside me. Coaching you remotely isn't a fallback, it's a structured service.
You choose the format: one month, three, six or a full year. But the real duration is open-ended: the programme ends when you reach your goal, or when you decide. The cost depends on the format you choose and we discuss it on the call.
I contact you personally. Then an introductory call, a medical history and assessment, and finally the kick-off video call. Five steps in total, no surprises.
Yes. It's free to download and activates with the credentials you receive when you start. Inside you'll find over 1000 exercises filmed by me and my athletes, workouts built around you and tracking of your progress.
Italian, Spanish, French and English. I'll work with you in whichever language you're most comfortable in.
