THE KIDS ARE BACK. NOW IT’S YOUR TURN. 👀

The uniforms are sorted.
Lunchboxes are packed.
The school runs are back.

And after a summer of holidays, camps, childcare, BBQs and routines being turned upside down…

September is your opportunity to put YOU back into the diary.

Not another “I’ll start when things settle down.”

Things rarely settle down.

You need to make fitness part of the chaos, not wait for the chaos to disappear.

At Guerilla Fitness, you don't need to know what to do or motivate yourself every day.

Book your session. Turn up. We'll take care of the rest.

Expert coaching.
Small-group personal training.
Accountability on AND off the floor.
A community of normal, busy people doing exactly the same thing.

If you've been watching from the sidelines waiting for the right time…

This is it.

📩 DM us today to enquire about getting started at Guerilla Fitness.

KNEE PAIN DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN YOU NEED TO STOP TRAINING. 🦵💪

In many cases, the answer is actually finding the right way to keep training.

One of our favourite tools for building stronger, more resilient knees is something incredibly simple — the sled.

Backward sled drags in particular allow us to progressively load the muscles around the knee, especially the quads, while generally being very well tolerated because there’s no impact and very little eccentric loading.

And that matters.

For many people with common, non-traumatic knee pain, completely avoiding movements that bother the knee can lead to doing less and less over time.

Instead, good training is about finding movements and loads you CAN tolerate and gradually building your capacity from there.

That might mean sled drags today.

Then squats to a box.

Then deeper squats.

Then heavier loads.

The goal isn't simply to train around your knees forever.

The goal is to progressively build knees that are capable of doing more.

Of course, not every painful knee is the same, and persistent, worsening or traumatic knee pain should be properly assessed.

But getting older doesn't automatically mean accepting sore knees and giving up the things you enjoy.

Train intelligently. Get stronger. Keep moving.

That's what functional fitness should actually be about.

👏 501 SESSIONS FOR ALISTAIR! 💪🔥

Another member joins the 501 Club!

A massive congratulations to Alistair, who has officially clocked up an incredible 501 sessions at Guerilla Fitness.

These milestones are always worth celebrating because 501 sessions represent so much more than workouts.

It's hundreds of decisions to show up.

Busy weeks. Tired mornings. Days when training was probably the last thing he fancied doing… and plenty of days when it was exactly what he needed! 😂

That's what long-term fitness really looks like.

Not perfection.
Not constantly chasing motivation.
Just consistency, year after year.

Alistair, thank you for your continued support, the craic you bring to the gym and for being such a valued part of the Guerilla community.

501 down… onto the next 500! 👏🔥

📈 Imagine improving by just 1% every day.

One extra glass of water.

One healthier meal.

Ten extra minutes of sleep.

One workout.

One walk.

One better decision.

On their own...
They don't seem like much.

But after 6 months?

You're stronger.
Healthier.
Leaner.
More energetic.
More confident.

Big transformations are rarely the result of one huge decision.

They're the result of hundreds of small ones.

Stop chasing perfection.

Start chasing consistency.

A BIG STEP FOR GUERILLA FITNESS 👏🦍

We're delighted to officially announce that Coach Owen is stepping up to become the first ever Gym Manager at Guerilla Fitness.

And while a new job title might not sound like a massive deal from the outside, for us, this is a pretty significant moment.

For the past 15 years, almost every aspect of Guerilla's day-to-day operation has ultimately landed with Bren and Hills.
So handing over a significant part of the daily running of Guerilla to somebody else requires one very important thing…

Trust. A LOT of it. 😂

And Owen has earned that trust.

Over the last number of years, we've watched him develop from a fantastic coach into someone who genuinely understands what Guerilla Fitness is all about — our standards, our members, our culture and the level of service we expect to provide.

As Gym Manager, Owen will obviously continue coaching, but he'll now take on much more responsibility behind the scenes too.

He'll oversee more of the day-to-day running of the gym, work closely with our coaching team and, importantly, take a much bigger role in Client Success — making sure our members are supported and accountable outside of the hour they spend with us on the gym floor.

Because as Guerilla continues to grow, we want the quality of our service to grow with it.

For Bren & Hills, this also means gradually being able to hand over more responsibility while knowing Guerilla, our members and everything we've built are in very safe hands.

Owen has worked incredibly hard for this opportunity and thoroughly deserves the promotion.

So please join us in congratulating...

COACH OWEN — GYM MANAGER, GUERILLA FITNESS. 👏🔥🦍

A huge milestone for Owen.

And a pretty big milestone for Guerilla too. ❤️

💪 The strongest thing we build isn't muscle...

It's confidence.

Confidence to walk through the door.

Confidence to lift something you never thought you could.

Confidence to try something new.

Confidence to realise you are capable of far more than you believed.

And one of the biggest reasons that confidence grows?

Because you're surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed.

No egos.
No judgement.
No intimidation.

Just good people helping good people become even better.

That's the culture we're proud of every single day.

What a morning—and what a way to celebrate 14 years of Guerilla Fitness! 🎉💪

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a special occasion. This anniversary also marked our first as the owners of the facility, which made it feel even more significant for us. 🥳🏋️‍♂️

The past 14 years have absolutely flown by. So much has changed during that time, yet the most important thing has always remained the same: the incredible community of people at the heart of Guerilla Fitness. ❤️🤝

It’s our clients, past and present, who have made Guerilla such a welcoming and supportive place for everyone. 🙌

A special shout-out must also go to our brilliant coaching team. Their knowledge, energy and genuine care for every person who walks through our doors are a huge part of what makes Guerilla so special. We’re incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated team representing us every day. 👏🔥

As we begin our 15th year, we’re preparing to take another huge step forward with a €250,000 extension and refurbishment of the facility. 🚧✨

There’s plenty of excitement—and definitely a little trepidation—but our ambition is clear: to create one of the best training facilities in the country, matching the quality of the people inside it and the standard of coaching and support we provide. 🏆💯

We have so much to be proud of, thankful for and excited about. 🙏🚀

To everyone who has played a part in the Guerilla journey over the past 14 years: thank you. We simply wouldn’t be in this position without you. ❤️

And a special thank you to DRIP for keeping everyone caffeinated and well looked after this morning! ☕️😊

Wishing Coach Niamh all the very best ❤️

Today we say a temporary goodbye to Coach Niamh as she finishes up her final session at Guerilla before heading off on maternity leave.

Niamh has been an absolutely fantastic addition to our coaching team. Her professionalism, knowledge and, above all, her empathetic approach to coaching have made a genuine impact on so many of our members.

She has a brilliant ability to meet people where they are, understand what they need, and make everyone feel comfortable and confident on the gym floor.

That presence will be sorely missed over the coming months — by our members and by all of us on the Guerilla team.

But now it's time for a much more important chapter. ❤️

From everyone at Guerilla, we wish Niamh and her family all the happiness in the world in the exciting weeks and months ahead.

Enjoy every minute, Niamh — we'll be looking forward to welcoming you back when the time is right. ❤️
