PerfeX Nutrition: The First Supplement Brand Created Specifically for Padel Players

Meet Felipe Issler, Founder & CEO of PerfeX Nutrition

Some partnerships begin with a scheduled meeting.

Others begin with a conversation that instantly feels like the start of something much bigger.

We first met Felipe Issler, Founder and CEO of PerfeX Nutrition, at the World Padel Summit 2026 in Barcelona. Surrounded by more than 130 exhibitors from across the global padel industry, one stand immediately caught our attention.

Not because it was the biggest.

But because it was the only one asking a simple question that nobody else seemed to be asking:

Why are padel players still taking supplements designed for completely different sports?

That conversation became the beginning of a shared vision—one that will now continue at London Padel Week, where PerfeX Nutrition will officially make its first activation in the UK.

Born from a player's frustration

Before becoming an entrepreneur, Felipe was—and still is—a passionate padel player.

Like so many others, he realised that while padel had evolved into one of the world's fastest-growing sports, sports nutrition hadn't kept pace.

Everything available had originally been developed for runners, cyclists or gym-goers before being adapted to padel.

Yet padel places unique demands on the body: explosive movements, constant changes of direction, joint stress, prolonged concentration and rapid recovery.

Together with his father, Valentín Issler, who brings decades of experience from the clinical and pharmaceutical sector, Felipe decided to build something entirely different.

The result was PerfeX Nutrition: the first supplement brand developed specifically around the physiology of padel.

Every ingredient, dosage and formulation is designed around the real physical and metabolic demands of the sport—not adapted from another discipline.

Everyday health for every padel player

PerfeX Nutrition isn't simply about improving match-day performance.

Its mission goes much further.

The brand exists to help players protect their health every day, regardless of age, gender or level of play.

Whether recovering after a long match, supporting joints, maintaining focus or improving overall wellbeing, PerfeX aims to become an everyday health companion for anyone who loves the game.

Because padel isn't just something you play.

It's a lifestyle.

A brand built from experience and science

The moment that inspired PerfeX was surprisingly simple.

Felipe realised that millions of padel players were relying on supplements that had never been created for the sport they actually practised.

There was an obvious gap.

If padel had become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, why wasn't there a nutrition brand built specifically around its own physiological demands?

Combining his experience on court with his father's scientific expertise provided the answer.

PerfeX was born where real sporting experience meets pharmaceutical science.

Why the UK is becoming Europe's next padel powerhouse

Felipe believes Britain's extraordinary growth is far more than a passing trend.

The country has gone from approximately 400,000 players at the end of 2024 to around one million players in 2026, supported by more than 1,800 courts.

For him, this isn't simply growth.

It's a cultural shift.

Padel offers exactly what modern lifestyles are looking for: a sport that's active, competitive, inclusive and naturally social.

And once the necessary infrastructure began to appear, the British sporting culture embraced it with remarkable speed.

According to Felipe, the UK isn't catching up anymore.

It's becoming one of the world's most exciting padel markets.

More than a trend

Looking ahead, Felipe believes padel will become a permanent part of British sporting culture.

As participation grows, so will players' expectations.

People won't simply want to play more.

They'll want to recover better, perform better and take better care of their bodies.

That evolution perfectly matches PerfeX Nutrition's vision.

The company wants to grow alongside the sport, becoming the everyday health partner of padel players across the UK and beyond.

Why London Padel Week

For Felipe, joining London Padel Week was about much more than attending another event.

It was about becoming part of a movement.

London represents one of the fastest-growing padel markets in the world, and London Padel Week brings together the clubs, brands, players and innovators shaping its future.

But there was also a more personal reason.

Following our first meeting in Barcelona, it quickly became clear that both teams shared the same philosophy: building long-term value for the sport rather than chasing short-term opportunities.

That made the decision an easy one.

London Padel Week will mark PerfeX Nutrition's first international activation, introducing the brand to British players at exactly the right moment in the UK's padel story.

One word defines padel

If Felipe had to describe padel in a single word, it would be:

Connection.

Connection with your partner.

Connection with your opponents.

Connection with yourself.

Because padel challenges both body and mind while bringing people together in a way that very few sports can.

And perhaps that's exactly why PerfeX Nutrition exists: to help players stay healthier, perform better and enjoy every moment on court.
