Squash Strength and Fitness is for ambitious squash players. Play your best when it matters most.

Why you should join: Testing, planning and training guidance from PLANtoWIN's Derek Vandenbrink, free plug-and-play programmes and exclusive exercise videos. Free to join.

The one-liner

A free Skool community giving ambitious squash players simple strength and fitness plans.

What they actually sell

Squash Strength & Fitness, run by Derek Vandenbrink, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "Strength and fitness for ambitious squash players. Play your best when it matters the most." It is free to join. Derek Vandenbrink of PLANtoWIN.ca offers testing, planning and training advice, free plug-and-play programmes that fit around existing squash sessions, exercise videos not available elsewhere and an ambitious community for encouragement. Inside sit 10 courses and a dense module library.

Who pays and why

Squash players who know fitness holds them back but do not know where to start. The frustration is tiring late in matches, being always slightly hurt and searching YouTube for exercises. They join for testing and planning advice, plug-and-play programmes and exclusive exercise videos.

Where the members come from

Derek Vandenbrink's YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn presence appears to feed the room. The Skool community reads as the member back end for people already drawn to that work. Exact follower counts stay off the public page.

What's holding it back

With no paid layer visible, the community's role as a funnel to PLANtoWIN's other services is not explained.

Steal this

Make programmes plug into players' existing schedules, so busy athletes do not have to rebuild their week.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for any racket or court sport, such as padel or badminton. Weak for sports with plenty of free coaching.
