This article speaks the truth about fitness today and i highly recommend you read it. I know some gyms/trainers in Galway who could most definitely do with a reality check and a read of this. The comments after reconfirmed my old statement that humanity is getting fatter because people seem to feel they know it all but in truth are clueless people who wont stand to be corrected!! http://strengthcoachtaylor.ca/uncategorized/the-brutally-honest-6-reasons-you-are-still-overfat/

Heard a couple of things in regards to mental health on my way up to Castlebar hospital earlier. It made me think there are others like me who probably suffer worse with panic attacks. I have to say I'm thankful to have an amazing sport in my life which makes it easier to cope with. Here's my experience with anxiety and depression and how i coped with it. Thanks to Niamho SullyChris ArisTerrisita Mary DeversDave JoyceBlanco JuanaDiarmo Joyce and those who helped me through a rough patch and inspired this.

It's the 23rd of December and i find myself... Doing work?? Seems if im not training people, I'm designing programmes, if not I'm reading... about fitness and nutrition! I don't think i work enough! :P Anyhow, Just a quick announcement that my four weeks have come to an end. Some absolute standout results from the four weeks which was an interesting challenge for both myself and my clients to say the least.
Extremely proud of everyone especially a mention to Mr. Mattie Ord
Mattie has taken his weight loss journey to me at 91+ Kgs 4 weeks ago and although fit, I knew i could get him much fitter!! Our first session poor Matt nearly threw up twice!!
Now, fast forward three weeks and hes down 9lbs(4kg), He's tucking in at the waistline nicely and to put the icing on top of the cake, during intervals he performed 32 burpees in 1 minute!! I had the pleasure to do some sparring with him while training him and needless to say, his fitness has really shone through, lasting a FULL 18 rounds of 2 minutes each with me and i won't lie... i wasnt taking it easy with the pressure etc(With Mattie being a kickboxer and all :P) this was AFTER him doing some HIIT and couple rounds of pads!!
I'm delighted to announce Mattie is going to keep me on for 6 months to get him well fit and ripped for June!! I'm looking forward to it brother and I'm real proud of you man!! for anyone interested, the yellow blob in the image is approx 5lbs so Mattie's lost nearly double! :)

Main part today being that i am Super proud of my boy Mattie Ord smashing all of his goals already today!!! Nearly got sick twice after his first session with me, and today he flies through the session!! Looks like ill have to make things harder! :D Fitness and strength are through the roof and were starting to look sharp boy!
