Every day to the max: Paulo Dybala's training routine with Technogym
The Argentine champion tells us how Technogym technology has become an integral part of his daily life and footballing career.
It takes more than one element to maintain a healthy lifestyle – nutrition, a good night’s sleep, daily routines, and how you organise your day all matter. But above all, training is what makes the difference for Paulo Dybala. Training once or twice a day is an integral part of his routine, and he has set up a gym with Technogym products in his house to get the most out of his training, because attention to detail means always having access to the right tools. “When it comes down to the details, you have to have the right machines, the best technology”, he explains.
Dybala's sessions follow a precise structure. He always starts with Skillride to get moving and warm up, then mobility, stretching and core work for activation, and finally that day’s specific workout, legs or upper body depending on the stage in the week or how close he is to a game.
During pre-season training blocks, Skillmill, a non-motorised treadmill, the Run Personal treadmill and Excite Climb come into play for running sessions and to work on speed during training camps. The Skillrow rowing machine completes the cardio set-up on days dedicated to upper body stamina.

Dybala’s favourite machine is Kinesis, one of the first pieces of equipment he chose for his house.“It helps me a lot with upper body exercises, but most importantly, it's the one I use for my core. It lets you move in different directions so you can work on everything at core level even in terms of coordination. For me, it's one of the most functional machines you can have at home, in part because it’s beautiful”.
His set-up is completed by Technogym accessories: kettlebells, dumbbells, medicine balls, foam rollers and elastic bands. Dybala describes the rack as “really complete” for working legs, chest and traction. Foam rollers are vital after matches for releasing muscle tension. One part of his routine that Dybala particularly enjoys is the final stretching phase with Flexability.

Dybala is keenest to emphasise the value of data when it comes to optimising every session, a dynamic made possible by Technogym’s connected ecosystem. “Technology is fundamental nowadays, especially because you can look at your previous data. You can see your speed, the strength you’re putting into your legs, as well as your improvements from one session to the next”. Every Technogym machine gives you tangible numbers – if you're reaching specific goals, if you can go beyond them, etc.
Alongside Paulo’s Technogym machines, working with his trainers remains key when it comes to interpreting the data and translating it into real-life decisions. It is this combination, cutting-edge tools and an expert eye, that allows every session to be accurately designed, adapting intensity and type of work depending on the number of days until the next game, post-match recovery or his specific needs at that time.
Dybala’s story is that of a footballer who has successfully moved with the times, turning sacrifices into habits and discipline into a lifestyle. Getting more out of his training, attention to detail and leaving no stone unturned – these are the principles that have taken him to the top of international football and that today, thanks to Technogym, can be applied in every corner of his gym. It's an ongoing journey, because in a sport in which everyone gives their all, winning is in the details.
