🎉 25 Club 🎉

A huge well done to Odhrán on reaching 25 Personal Training sessions at Motiv8 Fitness 👏

Odhrán attends Personal Training twice a week alongside his Taekwondo training, using strength and conditioning to support his performance in competition.

Taekwondo requires strength, power, balance, coordination and fitness, and Odhrán has been putting in great work both on the mats and in the gym. His sessions are designed to help build these qualities, giving him a stronger foundation for his sport while helping to reduce injury risk and improve overall athletic performance.

What has impressed us most is his consistency. Turning up week after week, putting in the effort and trusting the process is what leads to long-term progress.

25 sessions completed and plenty more to come. We’re looking forward to seeing what he can achieve over the next 25 sessions and beyond 💪

Well done, Odhrán!

If your child plays a sport and would benefit from improving their strength, fitness, coordination and confidence, get in touch to learn more about our Youth Personal Training and Strength & Conditioning programmes.

100 sessions for Gabrielle 👏

Gabrielle joined Motiv8 on the 19th of May last year, so reaching 100 sessions almost exactly a year later is a brilliant achievement.

This is what 100 sessions means:
✔️ 100 times showing up
✔️ 100 chances to get stronger
✔️ 100 sessions building confidence, fitness and routine
✔️ Sticking with it, even during the busy or tougher weeks

Progress like this doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from turning up consistently, putting the work in and building healthy habits over time.

We’re very proud of everything Gabrielle has achieved so far and delighted to have her as part of the Motiv8 community

A lot of people think youth training is only for sporty kids or athletes.

In reality, good coaching can help young people:
✔️ build confidence
✔️ improve fitness
✔️ develop healthy habits
✔️ enjoy exercise
✔️ feel more comfortable in gym environments

At Motiv8, we try create sessions that are supportive, structured and enjoyable for different personalities and experience levels.

Some kids join to improve for sport.
Some want to get stronger.
Some simply need a positive environment to build confidence with movement.

All of those reasons are important ❤️

At Motiv8, we offer:
✔️ Youth Membership Options
✔️ Youth Small Group Training
✔️ FUNdamentals Classes
✔️ 1:1 Youth Personal Training
✔️ Athletic Development
✔️ Inclusive Training Options

Our sessions are designed to help young people build confidence with movement while learning in a supportive environment.

When children join our Small Group Youth Classes at Motiv8, one of the first things we do is assess where they’re currently at physically.

This is not about comparing children against each other or deciding who is “good” or “bad” at fitness.

Every child is different.

Some children play sports regularly, while others may be complete beginners or simply not enjoy traditional sports environments. Our role as coaches is to understand where each child is currently at so we can support them properly and help them build confidence over time.

The assessments in this video help us look at:
✔️ strength
✔️ coordination
✔️ balance
✔️ movement quality
✔️ confidence with exercise

The 5 assessments we use are:
• Standing Long Jump
• Goblet Squat
• Bar Press-Ups
• Sit-Ups
• Dead Hang Hold

These tests are simple, safe and suitable for all levels.

Most importantly, we focus on individual progress — not comparison.

We want children to feel supported, enjoy exercise and see how much THEY are improving over time.

Our Small Group Youth Classes are designed for:
✔️ sporty children
✔️ beginners
✔️ children wanting more confidence
✔️ children who may not enjoy traditional sports settings

Our goal is simple:
Help children get stronger, build confidence and enjoy movement in a supportive environment ❤️

If you’d like to learn more about our Small Group Youth Classes or chat about whether they’d suit your child, feel free to send us a message, email us at [email protected] or contact us on

Most people don’t walk into a gym feeling confident.

They start feeling nervous.
Unsure where to begin.
Worried they’re not fit enough.
Wondering if everyone else knows what they’re doing.

But confidence usually comes after starting — not before.

The first few weeks are about learning, building routine, and realising you don’t need to be perfect to belong in a gym environment.

At Motiv8, we try to make that process feel less intimidating through coaching, support, and sessions tailored to your level.

If you’ve been thinking about getting started, this is your sign.

Message us, email [email protected] or call 089 268 8001 to learn more about training with us.

A lot of adults think they need to feel confident, fit or “ready” before joining a gym.

But honestly, one of the biggest things we hear from new members is:
“I was really nervous before starting.”

Whether it’s previous bad experiences, injuries, lack of confidence or simply not knowing where to begin — a lot of people feel this way.

That’s why we believe environment and coaching matter just as much as the training itself.

People make better progress when they feel:
✔️ Comfortable
✔️ Supported
✔️ Properly coached
✔️ Able to train at their own pace

One of the most common words used in our reviews is “welcoming” — and that’s something we’re really proud of ❤️

Training does not need to feel intimidating to be effective.

💬 If you’ve been thinking about getting started, send us a message with the word “START” and we can chat through what training at Motiv8 looks like and which option may suit you best.

HELL & BACK 2026

We’re getting a Motiv8 team together for Hell & Back again this year!

A few of us went last year and it was great fun — plenty of laughs, mud, obstacles and a good challenge along the way. It’s one of those events that’s more about getting involved and enjoying the day together than taking it too seriously.

This year’s event takes place on Saturday 6th June and there’s limited tickets left, so if you’re interested you’ll need to get registered quickly.

All fitness levels welcome — whether you want to challenge yourself, try something different, or just get through the mud with the group 😂

If you’d like to join the Motiv8 team, email [email protected] or chat to us in the gym this week so we can start organising numbers

We are now taking bookings for our next 6-week Down Syndrome Fitness block at Motiv8 Fitness ❤️

Our current block finishes on 22nd May, and the final 6-week block before summer will run from:
📅 29th May – 10th July

After this block, classes will take a short break over the summer before returning on 11th September.

These sessions focus on:
✔️ Building strength & general fitness
✔️ Improving coordination & confidence
✔️ Developing routine & independence
✔️ Creating a supportive and enjoyable environment

Each participant is coached at their own level, with exercises adapted to suit individual needs and abilities.

One of the things parents mention most often is how welcoming and encouraging the environment feels — and how much their child genuinely looks forward to coming each week ❤️

We’re very proud of the community that has been built within these classes and are looking forward to another great block before the summer break.

💬 If you would like more information or would like to book a place, feel free to get in touch.
