For Football
Weight rooms for champions
Professional football demands more from a training facility than any other sport. Tight schedules, large squads rotating through varied programmes, the constant pressure of injury prevention and recovery — the weight room is where performance is protected and built. We work with football clubs across Europe and beyond to design, equip, and support training environments that meet these demands. From Premier League facilities to national federation centres, Eleiko equipment is trusted where it matters most. Strength for performance. It’s what we know, it’s what we do.

No Downtime
Your season never stops. Neither should your facility.
Seasonal demands Pre-season builds the foundation — strength, explosivity, endurance capacity. During the competitive season, the priority shifts to recovery and match readiness, with playing time dictating individual programmes. Rehab athletes need dedicated, carefully monitored pathways. A well-designed facility supports all three simultaneously. Injury prevention An injured player costs more than any equipment investment. Injuries must never happen because equipment is low quality, poorly installed, or the training space was poorly thought out. Every design decision we make starts with player safety. Oversight and flow Multiple players and groups training different programmes at the same time. Staff need clear sightlines, efficient station transitions, and a layout that keeps sessions moving. Good facility design gives coaches back the thing they never have enough of: time. Durability and service When a club has one leg extension machine and it breaks, rehab stops. Equipment must be built to endure — and backed by service agreements with fast response times. Downtime is not an option. Precision you can trust Clubs test players regularly and monitor progress meticulously. Weight tolerances on bars and plates must be exact. When your data depends on your equipment, precision is not a feature — it is a requirement.

Eleiko Prestera
Adapts to your season, your squad, and your space. Prestera is a modular strength system that brings racks, cables, storage, and attachments into one unified platform. For football clubs, this means training stations that can be configured for pre-season power work and reconfigured for in-season recovery — without replacing equipment or redesigning the space. Integrated storage keeps plates, bars, and accessories within reach of every station, reducing transition time between exercises and keeping the facility organised for high-volume squad sessions. Cables integrate directly into the rack system, providing dedicated areas for specialised movements — from rehab protocols to sport-specific conditioning — without requiring separate cable stations that consume floor space. 8

Eleiko Barbells
The gold standard since 1957. Eleiko bars made their competition debut in 1963. They have set the standard in weightlifting, powerlifting and strength and conditioning since — powering thousands of world records along the way. Precision-crafted in Halmstad, Sweden, our bars are built to meet the distinct demands of each discipline, whether for competition or training. 11
Eleiko Barbells
Precision to power your programme For decades, we’ve crafted strength equipment that meets the demands of the world’s strongest athletes. With this next generation of Eleiko Bars, that legacy continues — with bars that are even more precise, more durable, and more connected to the lifter’s experience than ever before. 12
When your S&C team tracks athlete progress across a full season, the equipment they test and train on must be exact. Our bars are precision crafted in Halmstad, Sweden from proprietary Eleiko Steel — a blend of strength and flexibility developed over decades of innovation and competition use.
Bars for football S&C
We offer a full range of barbells designed for weightlifting, powerlifting and strength training. For football facilities, the Performance Bar is the natural choice: sensor-ready design for velocity-based training, centre knurl for confident squatting, and DN3 Chrome™ that preserves knurl sharpness through years of heavy use.
•
Performance Bar — the all-round bar for football S&C: sensor-ready, centre knurl, built for daily training volume
•
Hybrid Bar — versatile rotation characteristics for clubs running varied programme styles across the squad
•
Technique Bar — essential for developing movement quality, particularly with younger academy players

Eleiko Barbells
The weight room, connected. Football clubs already track everything — GPS load, sprint metrics, sleep, wellness scores. Velocity-based training brings the same data-driven approach into the weight room. Our sensor-ready bars pair with the Eleiko velocity system to deliver real-time feedback on speed, load, and lift execution — giving S&C staff objective data to manage fatigue, autoregulate intensity, and make informed programming decisions across the squad. No retrofit. No external attachments. The sensor interface is built into the bar’s sleeve architecture, so setup is seamless and data collection doesn’t interrupt session flow.

Maintains lower-body stimulus while protecting vulnerable joints. Eleiko Multi-Grip Bar Multiple grip angles allow pressing variations that accommodate individual shoulder mobility — important when programming for a squad of 25+ players with different injury histories and movement profiles. Eleiko Öppen Bar The open-frame design provides a natural, upright pulling position that reduces lower-back stress. Ideal for trap bar deadlift variations common in football S&C programming, particularly during in-season maintenance and return-to-play protocols. Öppen Bar

Evo Dumbbells
Two handles. Every movement covered.
Football training demands both explosive, dynamic movements and controlled, stable lifts. The Evo Rotating Dumbbell reduces joint stress during snatches and cleans, while fixed-handle dumbbells provide the stability needed for pressing and unilateral strength work. Many clubs choose both to cover the full range of their programming. Red Dot Award-winning design. Built for the volume of a professional facility Why clubs choose Evo • Rotating handle reduces joint stress during dynamic, explosive exercises — key for power development and pre-season conditioning • Fixed handle provides stability for controlled unilateral work — critical for injury prevention and addressing asymmetries • Built to withstand the throughput of a full squad training daily • Compact, defined footprint works within the • Prestera ecosystem and typical club storage setups

In developing Evo, we set out to create the world’s finest dumbbell and bring a great lifting experience to more people. This award is an affirmation of that goal. — Erik Blomberg, Eleiko CEO

Eleiko Benches
Built for the tempo of a squad session When 20+ athletes rotate through a session, every adjustment matters. Eleiko benches are designed for fast, precise setup changes — sliding barbell hooks with clear numbering and polyurethane rollers that protect bar knurling while allowing fine-tuned positioning between athletes. A wide range of adjustable settings for pads and hooks accommodates the different body types across a senior and academy squad, helping every player find an optimal
lifting position safely and efficiently. Olympic, Incline, and Decline configurations cover the full range of pressing and accessory work in a football S&C programme. Built to the same standard as our competition equipment, with knurled adjustment knobs and premium materials throughout — designed to hold up to daily volume, year after year.

Platforms and Flooring
The ground your training is built on
A football training facility has different zones with different demands — and each needs the right surface. Heavy lifting areas need impact protection. Conditioning spaces need durability for sleds, sprints, and dynamic movement. And when your weight room sits alongside recovery suites or medical rooms, acoustic control matters. Eleiko flooring and platforms cover every zone. Strength training tiles for equipment areas, SVR acoustic flooring and platforms that significantly reduce noise and vibration, performance turf and sprint track for conditioning work, and insert platforms that integrate directly with the Prestera system. One supplier, one coordinated floor plan.
We map flooring and platforms to your specific training zones as part of the facility design process — so everything works together from the ground up.

Premier League
Nottingham Forest FC, UK
Nottingham Forest needed a training facility that could handle the full squad in a single session — with enough floor space, rack positions, and equipment versatility to support varied programming across the team. Eleiko worked with the club’s performance staff to design a custombranded Prestera layout with integrated storage between racks, improving session flow and reducing downtime between exercises. A bespoke eccentric pulley frame provides a dedicated area for specialised movements, while accessories storage keeps the floor clear and the facility efficient. The result is a space built around how the club actually trains — organised, functional, and designed to match the elite environment Forest are building across the club. “We chose Eleiko due to their quality and reputation as an industry leader in strength and conditioning equipment.

Three-time Danish Champions
FC Midtjylland, Denmark FC Midtjylland opened their new training facility and football academy with a clear ambition: establish the club among Europe’s top 50 and build a culture that develops future champions alongside the senior squad. With around 240 square metres of strength training space serving up to 30 players, every metre had to work. Eleiko partnered with the club’s performance and medical staff from needs analysis through to installation, designing a flexible layout built around the modular Prestera system.
38
The facility is equipped with Prestera Half Racks with cable attachments, custom-branded training discs, SVR platforms, EVO dumbbells, and smart storage — creating a functional, space-efficient environment for both senior and academy players. Atlantis strength machines complement the free-weight setup. Shared values played a role too. The club’s commitment to sustainability and social responsibility aligned closely with Eleiko’s, helping secure the partnership beyond equipment alone.
