i'll admit, I’ve banged on about a lot about training through pain and coming out the other end stronger.

So here's the EXACT squat setup I've used for the past year.

It’s specific to me but the framework is flexible (and we'd be happy to help)

Last slide has the full template if you want to build your own!

Research shows time and time again that talking about your goals can actually reduce the likelihood of following through on them.

Btw it isn’t your fault. It’s because your brain rewards intention. As soon as you say “I’m going to do this”, you get a little hit of satisfaction, like you’ve already made progress.

I’ve seen this literallt hundreds of times.

People don’t kick things off because talking about it feels like doing something. They’ve told their mates, they’ve messaged us, they’ve “made the decision”... so in their head, the box is ticked.

Then a year passes. Sometimes two and they still haven’t actually started. They’re no further forward than they were the last time we spoke.

I’ve fallen into this trap myself. For a long time I’d tell people I was going to start judo or BJJ “soon”, once work calmed down or once I had more time. I never did.

Once I realised I was doing this exact thing, I stopped talking about it and just booked a session the following week. Stopped annoucing it and acted on it instead.

So, If you’ve been saying you’re going to start training “soon” for months or years, don’t say it again. Stop announcing it to yourself and just get it booked and turn up!!

Over the last year i've noticed my phone taking up more of my day than I would have liked.

So, ive started implementing some small steps to reclaim my attention and break away from "addiction economy" in 2026 and I found this tip has worked wonders for me thus far.

The reason this is relevant on a fitness page I guess, those lost minutes scrolling are often the exact time you say you don’t have for a quick walk, prepping a simple meal, or doing the small habits you know would make you feel better.

Add up your weekly screen time, it can be scary how much you could have achieved instead of looking at silly videos (which im guilty of, believe you me!)

Btw, Im fully aware of the irony of posting this on instagram lol AND our members do use a training app, however we actively encourage them to get in, stick their phone on airplane mode and only pick up between sets for logging!

Give this a go for 1 day, dont turn off that setting and I promise you will a significant reduction in your screen time

Coaching Academy - Final Recap

This week is one of my favourite lecture of the entire course.

We welcomed Kyle Wallace in to deliver a lecture on behavioural change, and this is what coaching is actually all about.

You can know everything there is to know about anatomy, program design, nutrition, sets and reps… but if you don’t understand the fundamentals of how to change a client’s behaviour, it’s all moot.

Kyle couldn’t have been a better person to deliver this session.
He’s worked in elite sport, holds a Master’s in strength and conditioning, has a Doctorate, and now lectures in Sligo. The students genuinely couldn’t have asked for someone more qualified or more experienced to learn from.

For me, it was also a bit of a full-circle moment.

When I came back from Toronto, I was looking to align myself with someone who had worked in elite sport and simply knew more than me, a mentor. I ended up working for Kyle, taking teams under his guidance. Then we became peers when I opened a small studio in the back room. Fast forward to now: Kyle has moved into academia, and I’ve taken over the facility and expanded it and can welcome Kyle in to teach the next generation!

Life’s funny like that.

Also, our coaches also took part in a Q&A session with me, covering:

- Delivering coaching packages
- Career progression in the industry
- Marketing, sales, and client acquisition

Over the previous few weeks, they’ve completed their practicals, shadowed sessions at the facility, and started stepping into real coaching environments.

And it’s already paying off.

Some students have secured their first clients, and one student has 10 clients starting in January. These students took a chance and took action to start a career they truly wanted!

For those who kicked the can down the road, ghosted, or no-showed for a call… Where could you be at this point?

A little uncomfortable, but worth asking.

We’ll be pressing pause on the Coaching Academy until the summer while we focus fully on delivering coaching at the personal training studio.

If you’ve any questions in the meantime however, shoot!

This is something we hear a lot, a lot of members come to us having only ever trained 1:1 or having gone to other facilities where small group training was 20+ people crammed in a room scrambling for equipment! So, its natural that they feel a bit apprehensive about stepping into a group environment!

At Fortis, what we offer isn’t “group training” in the traditional sense. It’s small group personal training the way its supposed to be. Sessions are capped, coaching is hands-on, and every member follows structured, progressive programming tailored to where they're at right now.

This means you'll get all the benefits of a personal training programme with the support system and lower price point of a group class.

Its literally a Win/Win!

Michaels been training for years, but like alot of us, he eventually hit that point where he felt like he was just spinning his wheels.

So he did what most people don’t... he handed the reins to an expert.

And the result?! he’s now the strongest he’s ever been.

If you’re tired of figuring it all out alone, Fortis might be exactly what you’ve been searching for.

"Slow is smooth and smooth is fast"

One of my many mantras at FORTIS! We've seen some amazing results over the years from the members who had a trait that many dont give enough credit to... patience.

Swipe to see the AMAZING results of two members who stopped rushing it, stuck to the plan, and gave it enough time for things to actually work.

With one of them nearly halving their BF%!!

It’s hard to put into words how proud I am of my father, I tried earlier this year, but now I get to finish the story the way I always hoped I would.

Some of you will know I shared a post a few months back about my Da and the unbelievable journey he’d been on since being diagnosed with cancer. At the time, he was in the middle of treatment, preparing for major surgery, and somehow improving every single metric of his health at the same time.

Well... he’s now completed surgery, finished more chemo, and has officially beaten cancer!

This isn’t our usual type of post. But I think it’s important, because so many stories go the other way. It’s easy to feel helpless, lost, or scared when cancer enters your life. So, if sharing this gives even one person hope, then it’s worth it.

From day one, my Da never flinched. He compartmentalised each obstacle as it came; chemo, surgery, infections ... deal with it, get past it, move onto the next. No complaints. No self-pity.

And he didn’t leave things to chance. When he found out he’d need life-saving surgery, he took his training seriously (for the first time in his life lol). He built strength, fitness and resilience. That work gave him the best possible shot and being part of that specific process has been the absolute highlight of my career and nothing really comes close.

On a personal level, I’ll never forget the moment I found out. I had just walked out of my first lecture for the coaching course, absolutely buzzing, excited, full of plans, and literally within a minute I got the news that dropped me to the lowest low I’ve ever felt.

My goal with Fortis this year ended up being really simple: just turn up. Keep the doors open. Give my members the best I could, even on the days I was physically and emotionally drained. I want to say a genuine thank you to everyone who supported me along the way.

To close this story I just want to say, My Da is my hero. I’ve never been prouder of anyone in my life. How he tackled this thing and never complained, that’s the kind of inspiration I hope everyone gets to witness at least once.
