What Clients Say

Hazel, Castlebar

Before Christmas, I was really unhappy with how I looked and felt. I’d tried so many times to do it on my own, but I always ended up falling back into old habits. Since training with John, I’ve lost 20kg – but the biggest transformation hasn’t just been physical, it’s been mental. I’ve gained confidence, more energy, and finally feel in control of my health again. There were tough days, but having someone to push me, support me, and keep me accountable made all the difference. This journey has genuinely changed my life, and I can’t thank John enough. The smile I have today says it all.

John is without a doubt the best coach I have ever worked with. His coaching skills and knowledge was clear to be seen from the start. He made the process so easy and always had an answer for my questions. I've learned alot from John in and out of the gym and I would highly recommend John to anyone thinking of getting a coach. I wouldn't have got my end result without him and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Not only is he a great coach, he is a really good guy.

My second cut with John, and this one was definitely a different experience. After going through my first cut with him, I already knew what to expect and, more importantly, I felt mentally prepared for what was ahead. I trusted the process, and I knew the harder days were temporary. Finishing this cut at 47.9kg — the lightest I’ve been in a long time, but also the strongest I’ve ever been — is something I’m so proud of. Having John guide me through it again made such a difference. So grateful for the guidance, accountability and everything I’ve learned. Couldn’t be happier with what we’ve achieved this time around!

Over the last 6 months, almost instantly, I’ve completely changed my approach to fitness and health. I wanted a lifestyle change, not a quick fix, and John has helped me achieve exactly that. Training has become a non-negotiable part of my week and something I genuinely look forward to. Instead of focusing on aesthetics, I’m motivated by getting stronger, improving my fitness, and pushing myself in ways I never thought I would. John’s guidance, support, and belief in me have played a huge part in that. Your health really is your wealth, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. John’s the man.

Kerri, Mayo

I’ve been training with John for the past 8 months, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how far I’ve come. My main goals were to build strength and, most importantly, to fall in love with the gym again - and with John’s help, I’ve done exactly that. I’ve noticed real progress in my strength, and I even enjoy doing hip thrusts now (never thought I’d say that!). John is incredibly easy to talk to, and always takes the time to listen. He genuinely cares about his clients. He tailors every session to suit me and knows how to push me just enough to step outside my comfort. I’m so grateful to have him as a trainer.

After Covid, I struggled to find consistency or a training structure that worked for me alongside life’s other demands. I decided to try a different approach and reached out to John online – from day one, he’s been incredible to work with. He kept everything simple, structured, and easy to follow – exactly what I needed. He was always on hand to answer questions, offer encouragement, and keep me accountable. I’m delighted to have dropped 14kg (much needed!) and achieved my goal. I couldn’t recommend John highly enough. He can’t do the workouts or steps for you, but if you follow his plan, you will see results!

Emma, Castlebar

After trying so many programs in the past without success, I honestly didn’t have high hopes but John completely changed that. In just five months, the difference is incredible, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Everything felt sustainable and I never felt restricted with food. He always had fresh, realistic ideas to help me make better choices without ever feeling deprived. He also knew exactly how to adapt workouts to my body. When an exercise didn’t suit me, he changed it, no pressure, no judgment. John isn’t just a trainer, he’s a coach, a supporter, and someone who truly listens. I’m so grateful for everything he has done.

What an incredible 8 weeks it's been. The workouts are brilliant and fit right into my busy lifestyle as a mother of 2 small kids and working full time. The app is very user friendly (even for a beginner). John is unreal for advice, motivation and always on the other end of the phone with any questions. I'll definitely be signing up for another 8 weeks. My confidence has been restored. I now like what I see in the mirror and enjoy trying on cloths again. I will be forever grateful to you John!

Gary, Mayo

I started with the aim to lose weight, gain strength, get in better shape for my wedding and just all round better wellbeing. I did all that in just a few months! My strength alone has tripled since I started and body composition has definitely changed. John has helped me all the way with gaining confidence in the gym, teaching me correct methods of weight training and great nutritional advice. And this is only just the start. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect from a Personal Trainer?
You will get the opportunity to talk about your specific goals and challenges and work with us to find a way to get you to where you need to be. This isn’t a one size fits all. Your coach will be there to support you and hold you accountable. We all need that little push from time to time to reach your goals. Your coach is also someone you can be totally hones with and trust.
Will I get the results I’m looking for?
If you stick to the advice provided, then there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t achieve the results you want. Everyone reacts differently to training. Most people notice changes after the first month of training. The level of results depends on how close you follow the program, adopt the habits we build, your body type and your training history. They all play a factor.
Do I need access to a gym?
No. You can train at home or outdoors via our online coaching program. It would be ideal to have all the equipment you would find in a gym, but it’s not necessary at all. If you’re looking to buy some, I can advise on the best pieces for your needs. I will adapt the program to the equipment you have e.g. kettlebells, dumbbells, rubber bands etc.
Will I be able to eat the foods I like?
Yes. We want you to enjoy your nutrition. I’ll help you incorporate the foods you love into your plan in a balanced way. There is no strict dieting with us. You can enjoy a social life and eat out. It just comes down to understanding the balance needed to make progress, without being miserable. It’s all about small, incremental adjustments to get you achieving long term results.
Do you offer any in person PT?
Yes, I am offering 1:1 sessions at Goals Gym, Castlebar but you do NOT need to be a member there. You'll still have access to the latest and best equipment to help you on your way.
How do I pay?
Revolut would be our preferred payment method, however we can accept Paypal and cash payments also. When we have our initial consultation we can discuss a payment plan and dates. We typically require 1-2 weeks to create your individualised plan after you sign up. Then you’re ready to jump in!
