I’ve been attending Michael since January 2023 and can’t recommend him highly enough. Michael has provided me with the knowledge and motivated me in making progress towards my goals. Sessions with Michael are focused and targeted. I’ve been very happy with the progress made to date and certainly couldn’t have done it with Michael’s expertise and guidance. Claudiu Bicu 04/02/2022
Can't recommend Michael enough, started training with him back in the summer and the results are incredible. Totally worth it. Laura Byrne 30/12/2021
Michael creates a very friendly environment where you instantly feel comfortable. Helped me to build on my goals week on week in a safe manner, providing helpful tips and education. If you want a great PT without any fuss, he's your man! Eileen Mooney 16/07/2021
Michael doesn’t just train you like going through the motions, you really feel a part of something and spurred on. Any person can tell you to do certain exercises, Michael inspires you to feel great about it and push yourself. Leanne O'Donnell 11/07/2021
I started PT with Michael as I had become nervous of exercise due to a back condition. Having setbacks during my recovery I became very hesitant to put any pressure on my body for fear of going backwards so I felt PT was the best option for me. Michael is so easy to get along with, friendly and approachable which is exactly what I was looking for. He works around my limitations but still somehow manages to push me. I’ve so much more confidence in my ability now and I owe that to Michael. Absolutely worth the investment of both time and money. Linda Healy 21/06/2021
I started training with Michael back in May following a four year hiatus from any serious strength and fitness training. We made a pack that we'd push each session as hard as possible and he hasn't let me down. Very quickly I switched focus from weight loss to strength and flexibility as these are the longterm gains I need to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Michael ensures training sessions are varied and fun, so the time passes very quickly. I'd happily recommend Michael to anyone looking for a new trainer. Farrah Lambe 17/05/2021
I started working with Michael a couple of months ago and have had a really positive experience. When I started my confidence was quite low as I hadn’t been exercising much in the previous 2 years due to some health issues. Michael put me at ease immediately and he gets the balance right between building your confidence and pushing for results. Within a few weeks I was feeling the difference in my mindset and my body! Also, he’s really sound and chats away so I barely notice the time passing! Would highly recommend! Gillian Todd 29/04/2021
I am really impressed with the results. Workouts are enjoyable as well as challenging. Michael is super friendly, supportive and encouraging! Noah Levitin 12/03/2021
I have been working with Michael over the past few months. Michael is very patient and is very good at motivating his clients. Would highly recommend him as a personal trainer! Lyndsey Reid 09/01/2021
Definitely recommend from someone who hates the gym and exercise I went every week without fail! Michael is very professional and good craic which makes the session fly in. David Ryan 23/12/2021
Started with Michael just over 2 Months ago and am delighted with my progress so far. He knows what he's doing, motivates you and seems to have an endless treasury of alternative exercises to target the same muscle groups. He's also a great guy to spend an hour with. I went in with knee and shoulder concerns due to previous injury problems both of which he helped address immediately. My deadlift for example started with me struggling on 60kg and is now up to 110kg something I wouldn't have though possible due to my knee. Onwards and upwards! My only complaint is I am now having to do a lot of new clothes shopping especially for shirts. Heather Byrne 04/12/2021
I trained with Michael for about 2 years, I was someone who had previously joined gyms but found them quite intimidating. PT was a great option for me working shift and Michael was always very accommodating to make sure I could train around my work and offered very competitive prices. I really enjoyed our sessions they were personalised to meet my goals and I progressively gained strength and confidence in what I could do. Being in small group sessions Michael always ensured that there was a very relaxed atmosphere and was very inclusive. I got to know other clients and even during the pandemic when we couldn’t attend the gym he set up a WhatsApp group for us to continue to train together and motivate each other. Would highly recommend as a PT, very friendly, knowledgable and encouraging and a genuinely nice guy to train with. Katie Dunne 17/12/2019
I'd highly recommend Michael as a trainer. I go to Michael once a week, as well as doing my own training, but it's been a great way to keep on track and set small goals. I've been with him about 6 months now and it's probably been the longest time I've stuck with any consistent fitness plan, thanks to him! Milena Skórka 23/11/2019
Mike is a fantastic trainer with great sense of humor so every session is filled with laugh and positive attitude which empower you to work out even harder. Very professional coaching and definitely will help you to achieve your fitness goals! I really enjoyed my few weeks training with Mike, hopefully I can come back when I find more time in my new routine. Christina Duddy 16/11/2019
I've been a client with Bodycoach for the last 2 years and couldn't recommend him and Macho gym enough! From someone that was incredibly intimidated of a gym and lifting weights, I now love working out and the atmosphere and welcoming you get is second to none! Michael is a dream and puts you right at ease. Tara Uí Adhmaill 23/08/2019
I trained with Michael this summer. After having 3 kids I had lost confidence in how I looked. After only 4 weeks I went on holidays and wore a bikini something I hadn’t done in years. Most importantly I feel confident and strong and have a newfound love for boxing. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you! Anna Stapleton 12/08/2019
I started with Mick in October 2017 and can honestly say it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I started by going to three small group PT sessions a week as I was a complete gym novice and have now moved on to just one PT session and two classes a week. Mick is extremely supportive while pushing you to be your best. I really look forward to my time in the gym now and always leave having worked hard and laughed a lot! I’d recommend Mick to anyone looking for a PT. Dominika Szymanka 18/04/2019
This is way overdue but here it is. Over the years I have tried so many different gyms, classes etc..., but after about 3-4 weeks I would drop off because I would either loose interest or just get bored of the same thing. When I started training with Mike earlier this year I actually really got into it. Although it may not have seemed like it while training, but I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions each week and Mike was so easy to get on with. He tailored the classes to my needs and made it a bit more fun. He was very helpful, extremely accommodating and let’s not forget encouraging and motivating. Just after few weeks I started seeing results and noticed I am getting much stronger and toned. My fitness level is probably the best it has ever been and it’s all thanks to Mike! Unfortunately I had to leave his PT sessions, as I moved away, but would strongly recommend Mike to anyone that is looking to get in shape. Thanks Mike! Laura Rock -16/9/18
I went to Michael after a trip to States as I was feeling sluggish and wanted to get back into a routine of eating properly and also training. I had always wanted to do personal training and figured now was the perfect time. I do two sessions a week in a group and honestly love it. Michael has been great, very supportive, takes the time to get to know you and what your goals are and never makes you feel under pressure. I had a goal to lose 10 pounds and ended losing 12 since the start of June. This was all down to Michaels training and encouragement. Would highly recommend him to anyone! Kim Clancy - 23/03/18
When I first started training with Michael I hadn't a clue how to exercise properly. But with his help I quickly improved week by week. I looked forward to my classes with him because he has the ability to make exercising fun. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a highly qualified personal trainer. He gave me the confidence I needed to join a gym and he showed me that a healthy lifestyle can be interesting and fun. Ursula Kenny - 20/8/18
Please, do yourself a favour, pick up the phone and book your first session with Michael. You will not regret it. I went to Michael to tone up and slim down for my wedding. I had 2 sessions with him per week for about 5 months. I have tried all sorts of exercise classes, slimming worlds, boot camps, gym, and never stuck at it. With Michael's PT classes I never hesitated about showing up, and crucially for me, I never checked the clock during each session. Michael really takes the time to build a strong rapport with all of his clients and gets to know them and their goals. He is incredibly supportive, but you work hard. He tailors every session, so it never gets boring and the chat and banter makes it fly by. For me, the 2, hour long sessions each week not only helped me to achieve my goal, but helped to alleviate stress and anxiety. Can't recommend this highly enough. 
I’ve tried them all, slimming world, no carbs, only fruit, juices and shakes and none of them ever worked. I’ve joined gyms and spent hours on cross trainers and treadmills with no results. Michael's Program is the only form of weightloss and fitness change that has worked for me. I can always feel my fitness improving as well as the scales showing results. I have lost 10kilos so far and I cant wait to lose more. I would highly recommend Michael's program for anyone who is not only looking to lose weight but wants to lose it the healthy way. I have never been this low in weight and have much more confidence in my fitness. - Sean Ennis
I started training with Michael in June 2016 doing his personal training classes. I was a member in a gym but could never find the motivation to go regularly. My wife was doing the HIIT classes with him already and had some great results, so I decided to give them a go myself. I received a copy of his "bodybible" which has detailed nutrition information and some great recipes for healthy eating. Since starting the classes and improving my eating habits and following Michael's plan I've lost 14 kgs and my fitness levels have improved dramatically. I feel much healthier from day to day and I feel the classes are good enough to keep me coming back, which is a huge thing for me personally. Michael is a great coach and extremely motivating and I would highly recommend anyone looking to lose weight and improve their lifestyle to contact him and give the classes a try. - Jonathan Glacken
Five years ago I was overweight and very unfit. I would lose my breath climbing the stairs or running after a bus. I lacked confidence and felt terrible about myself. I knew I needed to make a change. I started small, making healthier food choices, going to some classes, and taught myself to jog until I could run 5km. I lost 28kg, although I'd rather say I kicked 28kg's ass, because it was hard work and "lost" sounds like an accident. But then I hit a wall. I couldn't lose any more weight on my own and I felt I wasn't making any more progress. I lost interest, let my gym membership expire and put back on 9kg.
I didn't want to undo all of my hard work so I decided to get back on track and do something about it. I started going to the Bodycoach fitness/HIIT classes about a year ago and I'm so happy I did. In the beginning it was tough, at times I thought I might pass out or get sick, but I quickly built up my fitness levels. Michael gives me the motivation to push myself to my limits and the classes really challenge me. I’m losing the weight I put back on, but more importantly than that I've gained a huge amount of fitness. I can see improvements that remind me that I'm making progress and keep me motivated even when I’m not losing weight. I’m stronger. I can do pushups and bicycle knees (exercises I could never do before). I can run faster. I can squat lower. I can hold a plank for longer. I can do 50 burpees. I can breathe easier when I exercise. Just last month I conquered my "Everest", and was barely out of breath (a small mountain that I tried to climb twice when I lacked the fitness and couldn't make it to the top). Michael’s HIIT classes are fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone. He's an excellent trainer and the class is a really supportive bunch of people. I feel fitter and healthier than ever and I don’t intend to quit again any time soon. - Maria Walsh 
I have tried various gyms and training classes over the years and Bodycoach is by far the best one yet. The classes are always different and very challenging but they are rewarding and are very effective. Michael is a true professional his knowledge, confidence and attitude are second to none . I would highly recommend trying his classes whether you are looking to lose weight, get fit or tone up . Don't worry the classes are always a laugh and the people are great too. - Rory O'Donnell
Michael is immensely passionate about what he does and his natural enthusiasm helped to relax my early worries surrounding my lack of fitness when he first started working with me. He took the time to listen to my story, understand my needs and work with me to identify some goals to aim for as part of my training. Each goal has been a challenge, and he has pushed me to work hard towards each one and been first to congratulate me on achieving success. Michael's skills as a personal trainer have helped me make significant improvements to my lifestyle; weight loss, physical ability and self-confidence have drastically improved in 8 short months. With his continued guidance, my attitude has transformed from "can't do" to "will do" and I have made fitness and exercise a routine part of my life. Most importantly, Michael treats me as an individual; he applies a tailored program for me, to achieve my goals, rather than applying a generic "one size fits all" approach. For me, it's reassuring knowing that he truly understands my fitness abilities and ambitions, and has been able to remind me how far I have come since he first started working with me, whenever I have needed a motivational boost. - 1Colin Doolan

Bodycoach knows how to achieve results and how to motivate you to achieve them. Got a custom workout plan and went from there. Results week on week. Support and motivation all along the way. Highly recommend 
Maria Towey
Absolutely brilliant fitness classes - early morning workouts, evening HIIT classes or 1 to 1 Personal Training. A holistic approach to fitness, mindset and nutrition. The class atmosphere is very welcoming and open to all levels. Lots of variety, never a dull moment! Emphasis is on fun and fitness. Highly recommended! |

I have been training with Michael in small group PT sessions for the last 6 months. I wanted to get fitter for my wedding and Michael helped me reach my fitness goals. After the wedding I decided to keep training with Michael as the sessions are enjoyable and Michael is an excellent trainer. Would highly recommend Michael for those considering PT Denisa Michalikova 21/01/2023
I have been training with Michael for 2 years and coming from a background where I had no experience with exercise, Michael has changed all that. I remember being very anxious when starting as I thought everyone would be looking at me but after one or two sessions it wasn't even an afterthought anymore as I was made to feel relaxed in the gym. We set goals from day one and Michael created a simple plan for me that was easy to follow. He put together a system that made me accountable for my progress but didn't cause me to live off salad and chicken which was great. Over time I got stronger and more confident in my ability. I lost weight and felt great about myself after only a few months. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone that is lacking confidence in themselves to make a positive change to their health and fitness. Thomas Svitok 17/10/2021
I found Michael online and started to work with him couple of months ago. His workout and meal plans helped me to see results within weeks. Great coach! Catherine Moylan 25/07/2021
I've been training with Michael for a number of months now & it is one of the best decisions I've made for myself! I feel so much better, more confident, clothes fit better & best of all I really enjoy it! His approach is very relaxed & he makes it fun but the progress is real! If you are considering working with a PT, I think you would struggle to find a better one than Michael! Molly O'Toole 04/07/2021
Michael has been absolutely brilliant over the last few years. He motivates you in a session while pushing you to your max. He's very helpful and explains things really well when introducing you to something new. He's really friendly and good for a laugh which makes the sessions really enjoyable as well as being very tough! Tom Kane 26/05/2021
I’ve been playing golf for 30 odd years and would like to remain competitive for a few more years yet . Lockdown2 did not help and I put on weight through inactivity. I’ve been working on strength and conditioning with Michael for almost a year now and it’s become an essential part of my routine .I hate to miss a session and heartily recommend Michael as a personal coach . Eimear Ni Cheallaigh 10/05/2021
Absolutely brilliant Personal Trainer. Really encouraging and accommodating. I started training with Michael because I had an injury and wasn't sure how to get back in the gym. He created interesting and challenging workouts for me around that. Highly recommend! Nicola Forde 21/04/2021
I've been training with Michael in a small PT group since January. It's honestly the best couple of hours I spend every week, as I always leave the session feeling better than when I walked in. Michael is a great trainer, has a very relaxed style which immediately puts you at ease. However, relaxed doesn't mean he won't push you... the sessions are challenging in a way that allows you to make great progress every week. As a result of his coaching, my fitness levels have improved massively, I'm noticing lots of positive physical changes, and my overall mood is better (which is a bonus for everyone). Best of all, we have a great laugh, and I really love being part of a training group that's a bit of craic. Look forward to mastering an unassisted pull up very soon..! :) Sean Campbell 19/02/2021
I have used bodycoach for the past 6 months and couldn't recommend highly enough. Unfortunately work and college commitments have gotten in the way and I have had to put training on the back burner. Mick is a great guy, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Thanks for all the help Mick Martina Kavanagh 02/02/2020
My partner and I signed up to Bodycoach small group fitness sessions over the summer. Michael has been awesome to work with. He knows his stuff, tailors the sessions accordingly, pushes you, checks in throughout the sessions to ensure you’re doing ok and most importantly helps you to have a laugh along the way. I’ve trained with trainers on and off for 7 years in Ireland and Australia and I can honestly say Michael is top class. Both my partner and I have seen great results as we trained to get in shape for our wedding. My partner had knee surgery last year and Michael made sure to adapt as needed the sessions. He can work with all levels of fitness and strength and I’d absolutely recommend him. Paul Kelly 19/12/2021
I have been working with Michael for two months and can’t recommend him enough, he is friendly and approachable and keeps you motivated. Get fit and have some fun and laughs along the way. I am someone who has always had a bit of an aversion to gyms, I paid memberships but never went. With the Covid restrictions I packed on a fair few pounds and had to look at my options to get fitter and more active. I am not a good self motivator when it comes to exercise, so I decided to give personal trainers a try. I had a look at personal trainers in the area which led me to Bodycoach (Michael). I was not sure what to expect when I started, but Michael put me at ease, and made me laugh… a lot. Not what I expected at all, I never thought working out could be fun. I like the varied workout and customised approach each week, and Michael ensures that you are doing every exercise correctly and consistently, paying attention to your form so that you get the most out of them. He also has information and tips on eating and understanding calories, I like his approach of not giving me a list of eating restrictions or a list of do nots or can nots, but instead gives a more sustainable understanding of calories. After a couple of weeks I saw Kilos go down and my muscles get stronger. I am so glad to be working with Michael, and I am looking forward to continuing my transformation with him. Jenny McCarthy 03/12/2019
I started personal training with Michael in September of this year. I had been contemplating for quite a while about working out. My biggest problem is not being able to motivate myself. My worst nightmare is to join a gym and workout alone. Michael is just amazing! So fantastic at motivating me without me even knowing he is doing it! Since I started PT sessions with Michael, my energy level is really good and I feel that my fitness level is getting stronger by the week! I always have such a great workout with tonnes of laughter which in turn makes the workout seem really short! Everyone needs to exercise in some form but if you are thinking of training with a PT or joining a classes, I would highly recommend Michael! I'm hooked!! Kerri Williamson 18/11/2019
Mike is a fantastic trainer with great sense of humor so every session is filled with laugh and positive attitude which empower you to work out even harder. Very professional coaching and definitely will help you to achieve your fitness goals! I really enjoyed my few weeks training with Mike, hopefully I can come back when I find more time in my new routine. Angela Cahill 04/09/2019
I came to Michael over a year ago after a period of illness, I was totally out of shape, had poor balance and I was weak with knee, hip, back and shoulder problems. Now, I love going to the gym, I'm rarely in any pain, my posture has greatly improved. I have clearly built good muscle, increased my balance, coordination and flexibility, and with Michael's continued guidance and encouragment I can challenge myself to lift heavier, get fitter and I'm often surprised with what I can now do. If you want to workout in a friendly, spotless, well equipped gym with a great PT who provides good advice, positive encouragement, pushes your self-imposed limits, and brings some fun into the equation, then I would highly recommend Michael. Cathal Lenihan 03/08/2019
I started out with Michael 4 months ago without ever have been to a gym before and no idea what I was doing but he helped guide me through it all and help me get into much better shape. He was very supportive through it all and really helped me push myself to work harder and improve myself. Starting out with him was a great decision and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it. I am now way stronger and fitter than I ever thought I could be and I look forward to continue getting even stronger Amy Hendrick 15/07/2019
I was apprehensive about going to the gym again after a long break from it. After my first session I straight away began to look forward to it and now it is an enjoyable part of my weekly routine. Michael shows you how to perform each exercise correctly and pushes you when you need the motivation! Seeing great results and definitely getting stronger. Would recommend the Bodycoach for helping to achieve all different types of goals. Claire Colohan - 06/03/2019
I done personal training with Michael for a couple of months. I have to say I found him great to motivate and help me achieve some of the results I wanted. I really enjoyed my workouts and felt great while I’ve as doing it. Unfortunately I had to leave due to some personal circumstances. But I would highly recommend Michael as a personal trainer. Thanks for all ur help Michael. Philip Campbell - 22/10/18
I started training with Michael last year just before Christmas in a short space of times, I achieved some really great results in terms of weight loss and building muscle. I would do 1 PT session a week and then attended his HIIT classes which has increased my fitness dramality. His approach is straight to the point no BS and he has given me some great nutrition tips & tricks which have had a massive impact on accelerating my results. I highly recommend Michael Geraghty Bodycoach to help reach your goals. Carol Geoghan - 13/9/17
Training with Bodycoach is brilliant. The best decision I made was contacting Michael. The encouragement and support that you get from Micheal is not like any other gym. He is dedicated 100% to his clients. Not only is it fitness that you learn about you also learn about nutrition. I have learned how to cook proper healthy meals because of Micheal bodycoach. The classes and PT are so much fun. You always look forward to your next training session. If you are looking for results bodycoach is definitely the place to go. Make the call to bodycoach and Make the change to your life. Can't recommend it enough !!! Jennifer Greene - 23/02/17 I started training with Michael in June 2016 with my sister in law. Strength in numbers! I have suffered with panic attacks for most of my adult life and doing new things or being away from home is never easy for me. I've have 4 kids under 12 , my life's busy, but and as far as exercise went I hadn't done any in such a long time. I'd tried spinning, running, I'd last 2 weeks and be done. The thoughts of exercise wasn't appealing anymore. I'd been seeing post on Instagram from Bodycoach.ie . I though to myself, oh that looks fun, then the excuses came, I wouldn't be fit enough or I didn't really have the time, I'd look stupid. (I'm like a beetroot in every class) .I'm 36 and really needed to change me life for my body as well as my mind. I wanted to do it for myself. I contacted Michael through Instagram. He told me to pop down and try it out. Sure what not ? We sat outside that first night genuinely not wanting to go in and a few times we were going to just drive away!! Michael was extremely welcoming and explained what we would be doing and to just take it at our own pace. I hadn't done a Jumping Jack since primary school! After that first class I'm not sure what I felt! But we had completed it, and didn't get sick! But I knew I couldn't wait to go back again. So we did. We signed up and got stuck in. Micheal gave me a nutritional guide and sent me in a better healthier direction. I think what's great about Micheal is also the fact that he does the class with us. He's not just barking orders at us. Everyone is so welcoming and we genuinely have fun. You can't beat the feeling after a class. Honestly it's the best. I've lost 12kg, and dropped 2 dress sizes. I'm happy with my progress. And I am very happy to continue on my journey with Micheal. I even have a few favourite exercises!!! I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to change. I feel so much better in myself to how I was feeling this time last year. Your never too old, never too unfit, never too busy, and your never gonna change unless you try. Maura Ashe - 11/06/18
I recently trained with Michael in his group sessions for a couple of months and I have to say it was a fantastic experience. To start with the group was small, friendly and supportive which was a great start and I really looked forward to the sessions and the fun we had there. In terms of the most important part, the training, I hadn't trained in about 6 months and was anxious about going back and regaining my strength. Michael helped me to build it back up in no time. The sessions were diverse, no 2 days the same and I learned loads of new cool strength exercises I had never done before which was a real buzz for me. He challenged me every week and pushed me to go as heavy as I could. I really enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend him to anyone looking to start training. 
I've being training with Michael the last 8 months and I couldn't fault him or his class at all. Constantly supporting me and encouraging everyone to work harder and do better for themselves. I was never a gym person and would go two or three times and leave but I genuinely enjoy going to class and having a laugh while training. Since I have started with Michael I've lost just under 20 kg and he has being so supportive since the very start... 100% recommend Michael to anyone looking to lose weight or to become fit in a comfortable environment. Thanks Michael for everything. Looking forward to training with you and seeing what changes I can make in the next 8 months. - Shannen NiBhroin 
When I first contacted Micheal I was low on confidence and as a result my health was suffering. After my first meeting with Michael I knew I was in good hands. His understanding of how mental health is just as important as physical health if someone is to reach there long term goals is truly invaluable. With his nutritional advice and tough, but enjoyable personal training sessions I was dropping weight in no time and getting stronger and faster every single week. But more importantly my confidence was improving. I'm now 6 months into this journey and I couldn't be happier with my progress. Every now and again I've had set backs, but I've learned thanks to Michael's guidance not to give up, just pick yourself up the next day and get back on track. As of now, I'm focusing on more specific goals such as becoming a better rugby player and continuing my weight loss and with Michael's help I know I have the best chance to achieve my goals. - Shane McNulty
I've been on various diets over the past 10 years, joined weight loss groups, gyms, done different classes and in May of this year I was still in that same situation, overweight, constantly tired, constantly feeling ill and not caring about what food I was putting into my body. I'm a mum to 3 wonderful children and I constantly think of what kind of an example I am to them. So in June 2016 myself and my sister in-law decided we were going to do something to lose weight. We were thinking of joining a weight loss group but then we came across Michael's HIIT classes, so we thought we'd give the class a go before we committed ourselves to a weight loss group. On the 9th June 2016 I done my first HIIT class with Michael and loved it, it was super tough and really pushed me to my limits but I loved it. Joining these classes was the best decision I've ever made. 2 months later and I feel fantastic, with nearly 2 stone off and down 2 dress sizes! I have so much energy now, I sleep much better and my fitness is at a level I never thought was possible to achieve. My view on food has completely changed, I feel like this has been a lifestyle change rather than a "diet". I feel like I know so much more when it comes to food and the foods that I fuel my body with has become a priority. I look forward to every class and I try push myself in every class because I have realized the benefits that it has. I love that I'm losing weight and looking better but nothing can top the fitness that I feel and how good my body feels. I never want to feel any other way! Michael is so good at what he does, he is a fantastic trainer and he is great at encouraging you to do better and I cant recommend him enough! - Niamh Glacken
So about 3 months ago I joined up with Bodycoach's HIIT classes. I saw great results with my girlfriend and wanted to see if I could achieve something similar. To be honest, for the last 10 years, I have been overweight, at one stage topping the scales at 150kg. Life is awkward at that weight, even down to clothes shopping: seeing something you like and heading straight for the last thing in the rack hoping it was your size.
After hurting my back a couple of years ago and recovering from that, I dropped to below 130kgs but it was just weight loss, I was still unfit and weak from my back surgery. The weakness was primarily due to fear of recurrence so I didn't push myself in the gym or anything like that, just happy plodding along losing small amounts of weight. Since joining Mick's class, I have shed a further 13kgs but not only that, I am fitter!! My stamina, endurance and strength have all increased. I would say my core is stronger than ever. The pace in the class is tough but manageable (you never leave feeling like you haven't achieved something) and because of work I cannot attend every class but I make it work. Through pulled muscles, lack of ability or whatever else I had going on, Mike is able to accommodate myself and others in the class while still pushing and ensuring total inclusion in the class. If you want a class that works and more importantly is fun while it works, come along, you won't regret it. I am by no means done with Mick's class and will be continuing on until i reach my next goal. -Kenneth Burke

I started training with Michael in February. At the time I had been overweight for a while had been on yoyo ‘’diets’’ for years on and off and always ended up back heavier than I had originally started. I was sick of going to gyms where I didn’t really know if the exercise I was doing was correct or whether it was working and I’d get bored pretty quickly and end up just going for a swim. I had seen Michaels facebook page and decided to text him and my first question was ‘’can you help me’’ and then went into explaining how unfit I was etc. I found Michael to be extremely passionate about his business and the health and well being of his clients. He is genuinely interested in his clients health outside of the time spent during a personal training session. He is always on hand to offer advice. The fact that he had been through his own weightloss journey helped me relax and listen to his advice. The training sessions Michael offers are tough but also fun and every week there’s a new challenge so you can never be bored! Michaels training sessions will always push you to your limit and he is very encouraging. What Michael has provided me with is a complete lifestyle change, with a new approach to food and exercise not just a ‘’diet’’ and I enjoy every single one of his sessions. It has been the best decision I ever made in my life and I am a much healthier happier more confident person. I would recommend Michael to everyone. |
