Inside Utah Warriors HQ: High Performance Gym Facility | Powered by Gorila Fitness

The Utah Warriors Rugby team is proud to announce an exclusive partnership with Gorila Fitness, a leading retailer and manufacturer of premium gym equipment. This partnership solidifies Gorila Fitness as the official sponsor of the Warriors’ state-of-the-art HQ gym, a premier training facility designed to support peak athletic performance. Gorila Fitness is also the official weight room supplier for the Montreal Canadiens (NHL) and Montreal Alouettes (CFL), further reinforcing its reputation for delivering elite training environments.

The Warriors HQ gym stands as the premier facility within Major League Rugby (MLR) and is regarded as the leading weight room in the league. Designed for high-performance training, the facility features 14 power racks with jammer arms, floating 45-degree uprights, specialty bars, and Olympic-caliber bumper plates—a setup unmatched in USMLR. This top-tier equipment and layout allow the entire 42-man squad to train simultaneously, unlike most other teams that must split into smaller groups. Additionally, the facility includes ample space for agility and speed training on turf, complementing strength and power development in the weight room.

The gym design and programming was meticulously developed by Sebastian Pearson, the Utah Warriors’ Director of Athletic Performance and a former professional rugby player. Pearson, who previously led performance programs for the Canadian rugby team and numerous Division 1 collegiate programs, including locally at Weber State, has designed this facility and programming to maximize strength, endurance, and overall athletic performance.
