Growing up I was never the first on the team sheet…
I was never the strongest in the gym
And definitely wasn’t in the year group’s Top 10’s…
But to be honest I never cared for it, I just loved human connection, friendship, laughs and making people smile…
When secondary school hit, I went through a tough time and it shifted me into a completely different path than the bubbly, confident happy lad in primary school…
It paved the way for a decade of people pleasing, camouflaging and hiding the true me, incase I would be left out again…
As long as the majority liked me, I was winning…
This stretch included years of 12 week cuts, get in shape for external validation, without any real care for the true wellbeing within…
Relapse until I was visibly rock bottom again, and start another “cut”…
This was until I moved to Sweden, one night I looked at myself in the mirror, and broke down…
A body that had been in the gym for years, but looked like it had never seen a dumbbell ever…
So I made the decision, I was going to let the aesthetics not be my only priority, and focus on what fitness could do for me within…
And it worked…
My life changed…
Mentally I was in the best place I’d ever been, on my 23 years on this earth…
Which is why I became a coach…
And is why I worked my ass off to make it work…
Because it would be a disservice if I didn’t help as many people as physically possible…
See how much a life can change, with a bit of accountability, teamwork, and genuine care…
So yea, that’s a bit about Eoin (Ian) Fegan.
