On 7th February 2019 I said goodbye to my steady role as an Assistant Manager at Spirit Leisure Centre.

Wasn't easy to quit. I agonised over it for months beforehand. 10 years were left behind me.

I wanted to train more people and disagreed, in general, about how leisure clubs train their members. Staff didn't get any extra pay to work with members individually. Other staff were chained to a desk as you did. Your shifts dictated when you could meet a member to update or renew etc.

You worked random shifts between morning and evening, weekends too, and time off was never guaranteed if staffing levels were low.

I wanted a life on my own terms.

So I left. I took a risk.

Never looked back.

But my God its not easy at times.

I remember when nobody turned up to classes. I remember the day my only client took a break for Summer. I remember the day my bank account had €40 to last a week BEFORE BILLS!! Then lockdown. F**k me, mental. I genuinely have no idea how I kept going.

I'm not an "Insta trainer" (ye know the kind) and I don't coach anyone online.

I love training in person.

I love coaching sessions.

I love designing plans and seeing them in action.

I love seeing people in front of me grow in confidence and strength and belief in their own abilities.

And I'm so fu***ng glad I made the decision to try this madness 7 years ago.

I've got plans for the future. Let's see where they take me.

If you've been a part of my story up to now I have no words to express how grateful I am that, at some point, you chose me.

We have nothing on today......until we do 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The reason most people struggle in a commercial gym is simple. They haven't got a clue what to do and have zero accountability to show up.

At The Crucible the program is set, your timeslots are secured and the vibes are positive and encouraging. Sometimes they are grumpy and abusive but that's just my clients.

If you'd like to know more about my morning availability (9.30am - 12.30pm) then drop me a DM or apply at the link in my BIO. Evening times are fully booked barring a catastrophic client exodus.

I'm taking a risk here people 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It can be difficult to get it up.

Sometimes you get it up but it won't stay up.

Other times it goes sideways and there's no coming back, it's gone.

If its too big it can be hard to control.

If its too small you won't get enough bang for your buck.

So the weight you choose is important.

I hope my tutorial on how to get it up is helpful.

About last night 😎🏆🙌💪💙

Crucible members assembled last night for our January night out 🍻

A special word for these 2; Julie and Mick.

Julie received the Performance Award for 2025. This is for a client that doesn't let the outside world affect the effort in the gym. Julie is a trainers dream. "Heavier Dumbells?" Hell yes. "You can go faster!" Yes coach! Not only does Julie kick ass in the gym she is a gem of a person too 💙

Mick was presented with the Consistency Award 📊 His stats speak for themselves. He booked 91 sessions at 6.15am. Attended them all without a single cancellation. Now THAT is consistency! Mick is a pleasure to work with and is always great for a laugh in the early hours 😁

Many other clients received their attendance awards too 😃🗓

Clients that attended over 300 sessions entered the Crucible Hall of Fame. Those over 200 sessions became Crucible Legends! And clients over 100 sessions became Crucible Centurions 🤜🤛

Taking on the week with so much gratitude for the amazing clients I'm lucky to work with 💙

If you want to train with me at The Crucible then stop messing about and send me a DM now ✅️

Real food doesn't have ingredients. Real food IS ingredients. 🥩🥦🍓🥗🫘🧀

Probably one of the best changes to government guidelines on nutrition that could have been made.

What are your thoughts?

Do you like the Ski-Erg? 🤔

As a gym owner I like equipment that takes up f**k all space ✅️ and will get a lot of use ✅️

Yay or Nay on the Skerg? Yes I said Skerg. 1 syllable is easier than 2. It's a Skerg.

As I sat in our hotel room drinking a creamy pint of Guinness and watching the darts on my phone I thought to myself - "bollox I'm back to work on Monday" 🤣🤣🤣

Over the weekend the gym was cleaned and some new equipment ordered, the house was blitzed and decluttered, I've booked my own training sessions for the week and prepped my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow.

If tomorrow is NOT the day you start anything new then so be it. Let's be honest. Work and schools are back, the car will be frosty and it'll still be dark at 8am. Bu****it, isn't it?

I'm very much a person that gets energy from brighter and warmer days so this time of the year is a slog for me regardless of it being the New Year and me being a "fitness guy". It's fu***ng tough.

If tomorrow IS the day you start a new regime remember that you should really focus on what you need to do rather than the result you want.

So instead of I'm going to lose 7lbs, you say I'm going to walk 8k steps a day, eat 3 healthy meals and train 2 days per week at the gym.

Now if you do that consistently your 7lb goal will creep up on you fairly swiftly.

Focus on the little daily Habits that will stack up over time.

And if you decide "f**k it" and go back to bed I can understand that too 😜

Hey .0 we survived another year 😂😂😂 snow days, away days, run days, family days, all-ireland days along with health scares, speeches, theme parks and 40ths. Mad how time flies when you're on a rollercoaster 😜

Gyms are scary and intimidating, fact. But trust me when I say this:

If you're brave enough to simply DM me the word CRUCIBLE I will put your mind at ease and talk you through how I can help you get consistent with training to finally get the results you've never got from joining a €30 a month "access gym" with f**k all help or accountability 💙

Very, very grateful to read these words from clients and even prouder to share them 😁
