What clients say

"Michael is an absolute gent. Easy to be around and an excellent trainer. Got me sorted with a great plan and as a result I've felt the strongest I've ever been. The gym has a really friendly atmosphere and not intimidating. Highly recommend!"

"I joined Bodycoach small group fitness sessions in 2023, and working with Michael has been an excellent experience. He knows his stuff, and every session is well thought out, tailored to the group's need. He creates a fun, supportive atmosphere. I'd absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their fitness with a genuinely engaging coach."

"I couldn't recommend personal training with Michael highly enough. Focused but fun, Michael puts you at ease and has you achieving goals and results you can't imagine when you start out. Michael adapts the training to those highly experienced with gyms to those that aren't. He calls it as he sees it and helps you take accountability for planning your health and fitness as a priority. This is the best money I spend each week."

"Michael is an excellent personal trainer and coach. He listens, observes, and always gets the best from me in every session. Skilled, empathetic, and clearly loves what he does. Highly recommend him."

"Only been a client of Michael's two weeks but have to say I'm very impressed. Gave me a realistic and doable plan and I have the chats with him while getting a good work out done. Definitely recommend. The whole atmosphere in the gym is so friendly and welcoming."

"I've been with Mike for the past few months in his small PT group. It's been so good to feel stronger! Everyone in the group was so lovely and the craic was always had! I would recommend Mike's PT group to anyone."

"I have been training with Michael in small group PT sessions for the last 6 months. I wanted to get fitter for my wedding and Michael helped me reach my fitness goals. After the wedding I decided to keep training with Michael as the sessions are enjoyable and Michael is an excellent trainer. Would highly recommend."

"Have been training with Michael on and off for a few years — he was a great support and motivator to help me get through lockdowns etc. Started back a few months ago and I've seen amazing results. I've actually become a person who looks forward to going to the gym. Highly recommend reaching out to Michael."

"I have been training with Michael for 2 years and coming from a background where I had no experience with exercise, Michael has changed all that. I remember being very anxious when starting as I thought everyone would be looking at me but after one or two sessions it wasn't even an afterthought. Over time I got stronger and more confident. I lost weight and felt great about myself. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone that is lacking confidence."

"I've been attending Michael since January 2023 and can't recommend him highly enough. Michael has provided me with the knowledge and motivated me in making progress towards my goals. Sessions with Michael are focused and targeted. I've been very happy with the progress made to date."

"I started training with Michael in preparation for my Garda fitness exam and I feel more prepared than ever. My fitness and strength have greatly improved."

"Started with Michael just over 2 months ago and am delighted with my progress so far. He knows what he's doing, motivates you and seems to have an endless treasury of alternative exercises to target the same muscle groups. He's also a great guy to spend an hour with. My deadlift started at 60kg and is now at 110kg — something I wouldn't have thought possible."

"I started PT with Michael as I had become nervous of exercise due to a back condition. Michael is so easy to get along with, friendly and approachable. He works around my limitations but still somehow manages to push me. I've so much more confidence in my ability now and I owe that to Michael. Absolutely worth the investment of both time and money."

"I started working with Michael a couple of months ago and have had a really positive experience. When I started my confidence was quite low as I hadn't been exercising much in the previous 2 years due to some health issues. Michael put me at ease immediately and gets the balance right between building your confidence and pushing for results. Within a few weeks I was feeling the difference in my mindset and my body!"

"I've been on various diets over the past 10 years, joined weight loss groups, gyms, done different classes and in May of this year I was still in that same situation, overweight, constantly tired, constantly feeling ill. Joining these classes was the best decision I've ever made. 2 months later and I feel fantastic, with nearly 2 stone off and down 2 dress sizes!"

"I've been training with Michael in a small PT group since January. It's honestly the best couple of hours I spend every week, as I always leave the session feeling better than when I walked in. Michael has a very relaxed style which immediately puts you at ease. However, relaxed doesn't mean he won't push you — the sessions are challenging in a way that allows you to make great progress every week."

"I trained with Michael this summer. After having 3 kids I had lost confidence in how I looked. After only 4 weeks I went on holidays and wore a bikini — something I hadn't done in years. Most importantly I feel confident and strong and have a newfound love for boxing. I can't recommend him highly enough."

"I trained with Michael for about 2 years, I was someone who had previously joined gyms but found them quite intimidating. PT was a great option for me working shift and Michael was always very accommodating. I really enjoyed our sessions — they were personalised to meet my goals and I progressively gained strength and confidence. Would highly recommend."

"I went to Michael after a trip to the States as I was feeling sluggish and wanted to get back into a routine. I do two sessions a week in a group and honestly love it. Michael has been great, very supportive. I had a goal to lose 10 pounds and ended up losing 12. Would highly recommend him to anyone!"

"My partner and I signed up to Bodycoach small group fitness sessions over the summer. Michael has been awesome to work with. He knows his stuff, tailors the sessions accordingly, pushes you, and most importantly helps you to have a laugh along the way. I've trained with trainers on and off for 7 years in Ireland and Australia and I can honestly say Michael is top class."

"Please, do yourself a favour, pick up the phone and book your first session with Michael. You will not regret it. I went to Michael to tone up and slim down for my wedding. I have tried all sorts of exercise classes, slimming worlds, boot camps, gym, and never stuck at it. With Michael's PT classes I never hesitated about showing up, and crucially for me, I never checked the clock during each session."

"I've being training with Michael the last 8 months and I couldn't fault him or his class at all. Constantly supporting me and encouraging everyone to work harder and do better for themselves. I was never a gym person and would go two or three times and leave but I genuinely enjoy going to class and having a laugh while training. Since I have started with Michael I've lost just under 20kg."

"I've been playing golf for 30 odd years and would like to remain competitive for a few more yet. I've been working on strength and conditioning with Michael for almost a year now and it's become an essential part of my routine. I hate to miss a session and heartily recommend Michael as a personal coach."

"Absolutely brilliant Personal Trainer. Really encouraging and accommodating. I started training with Michael because I had an injury and wasn't sure how to get back in the gym. He created interesting and challenging workouts for me around that. Highly recommend!"

"I started with Mick in October 2017 and can honestly say it was the best decision I've ever made. Mick is extremely supportive while pushing you to be your best. I really look forward to my time in the gym now and always leave having worked hard and laughed a lot! I'd recommend Mick to anyone looking for a PT."

"I started training with Michael in September of this year. Michael is just amazing! So fantastic at motivating me without me even knowing he is doing it! Since I started PT sessions with Michael, my energy level is really good and I feel that my fitness level is getting stronger by the week! I always have such a great workout with tonnes of laughter. Everyone needs to exercise in some form but if you are thinking of training with a PT, I would highly recommend Michael!"

"I came to Michael over a year ago after a period of illness, I was totally out of shape, had poor balance and I was weak with knee, hip, back and shoulder problems. Now, I love going to the gym, I'm rarely in any pain, my posture has greatly improved. I have clearly built good muscle, increased my balance, coordination and flexibility. If you want to workout with a great PT who provides good advice, positive encouragement, and brings some fun into the equation, then I would highly recommend Michael."

"Michael's skills as a personal trainer have helped me make significant improvements to my lifestyle; weight loss, physical ability and self-confidence have drastically improved in 8 short months. With his continued guidance, my attitude has transformed from 'can't do' to 'will do' and I have made fitness and exercise a routine part of my life."

"Training with Bodycoach is brilliant. The best decision I made was contacting Michael. The encouragement and support that you get from Michael is not like any other gym. He is dedicated 100% to his clients. Not only is it fitness that you learn about, you also learn about nutrition. Can't recommend it enough!"

"I started training with Michael in June 2016 with my sister in law. I had 4 kids under 12, my life was busy. I've lost 12kg and dropped 2 dress sizes. I'm happy with my progress and I am very happy to continue on my journey with Michael. I even have a few favourite exercises! I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to change. You're never too old, never too unfit, never too busy."

"I have been working with Michael for two months and can't recommend him enough — he is friendly and approachable and keeps you motivated. Get fit and have some fun and laughs along the way."
