A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

My Journey: From Chunkster to Coach

My first gym experience was stepping into a (rustic) sports club gym in a small parish in the Irish countryside. As a young teenager I was eager to get stronger and bigger for sports. Back then, I was even shorter, chunkier with very little strength.

Within a few months, of doing some basic workouts, I noticed incredible changes – my self-confidence grew, my performance on the field improved, and I felt much more at ease in social situations. I was hooked.

Like many beginners, I initially followed advice from bodybuilding magazines, websites, and older athletes. Unfortunately, much of that advice was misguided. Through my own trial and error, and later through professional and academic training, I learned that a lot of what I did in those early days was wrong.

Today, with the overwhelming noise from social media and self-proclaimed internet gurus, it's even harder to distinguish real scientific advice from myths. That’s where I can help you.

Why I Became a Coach

I chose to become a coach not only because I like wearing shorts to work but also I’m passionate about helping others achieve their own version of success. There's truly nothing more rewarding for me than seeing my clients reach their fitness goals. I celebrate my clients personal bests more than they do!

My Promise to You

I’m here to guide you with tried-and-true methods tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we'll cut through the noise and focus on what really works. I understand the challenges and frustrations of navigating the fitness world, and I'm committed to helping you achieve lasting, meaningful results.

Let’s embark on this journey together and get the most from your training!

Looking forward to working with you.
