About SMFitness.
From Athlete to Trainer.
Getting the right help can be life changing, and I’ve experienced this myself.
I was a very sporty kid when I was growing up in Ireland and to this day, football is one of my great loves. When I was 19 I was seriously injured in a car accident, and was told I would never play Gaelic Football again. I left home to go to university and embraced the student lifestyle. For me, this meant no exercise, a lot of drinking and way too much junk food.
A few years later I decided to try getting back to football. I joined a gym and hired a professional to show me what to do. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and it completely turned my life around.
It’s this experience that made me want to become a personal trainer: to help people overcome obstacles, whether it be learning to train in the gym, recovering from injuries, losing weight or simply building their confidence in themselves.
A lot of this comes from learning to better understand your body and yourself.
Fifteen years on I still have my own coach. Being mentored by someone else means I can continue to develop as a personal trainer for my own clients.
I’ve become an expert in many aspects of health and fitness including strength and conditioning, weight loss, nutrition, body transformation and rehabilitation.
With this experience, I know that a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach doesn’t work.
Finding time to exercise and look after ourselves is often challenging. That’s why getting help from a professional will not only save you time, energy, but also money.
My passion is getting the best out of my clients. I’ll hold you accountable, help you reach your goals, and celebrate the wins along the way.
So if you’re looking for a new approach to life and exercise, get in touch. I would love to hear from you.
Charlie is our Health & Safety Officer and he takes his job very seriously. More recently, Frankie joined the team as our Accounts Manager. They would both love to spend more time in the studio with clients but understand that it’s a private space for busy people.
About the Studio.
SMFitness Studio.
SMFitness offers a boutique training space that is comfortable, quiet, and designed with you - the client - as the top priority.
Having spent many years working in the big box gyms, I have found that with one-on-one training, clients prefer to train in the intimacy of a studio.
It’s private, it’s all about you, and it’s a place where you’ll feel comfortable in achieving your training goals. There’s none of the noise or distraction that you typically find at the big gyms. My studio allows for effective communication between trainer and client in a setting that is conducive to getting maximum reward for effort.
All equipment is carefully cleaned and sanitised after use by every client. And there’s none of the frustrations experienced in the big gyms of not being able to get onto a machine. The equipment available makes it more convenient for you to do the exercise you want to do at the time that suits you. The entire studio is available for your use during a workout, ensuring you get the full benefit from your training session.
