SOME OF THE REPLIES I GET 😂

When I text members after a session to see how they are feeling and how they found it… I get some interesting responses 😂

Some are exactly what I’m looking for…

🔥 “Absolutely loved it.”

💪 “Really enjoyed that one.”

😅 “That was tough!”

And then there are the ones that make me laugh

Scroll for a selection of a few 👉🏻😂

But in all seriousness though getting this feedback is brilliant.
It shouldn’t just be about coming in, doing a session and leaving.

I want to know how you’re finding the sessions.
What you enjoy.
What you don’t enjoy.
What’s challenging you.
What you want more of

Ultimately you need to enjoy the process, enjoy the training and enjoy the little push when needed 👊🏼

So keep the feedback coming…

Even if it’s a threat to punch me 😂

✅ 1ST MONTH DONE ✅

Well… that was bloody nuts 😅

Starting something new is daunting.

I honestly hadn’t a clue how it was going to go. There’s always that uncertainty of “Is this actually going to work?” and “Will people want to be part of it?”

But Christ the buzz is back, honestly a massive thank you to everyone for the support so far, it’s been crazy — whether that’s signing up, recommending me, sharing a post, or simply sending me a message.

Appreciate every single one of you 🫶🏻

And the best part about the whole thing is we’re only getting started.

There’s been SO much going on this month, both inside and outside the gym.

🛠️ Giving the gym a new look
🏋🏼‍♂️ New equipment being added
🧘‍♀️ Getting the Pilates classes up and running
⚽️ Back on the pitch playing
📱 Getting the app up and running — technology definitely isn’t my strong point 😅
✅ Hitting my own training goals
🐶 Plenty of walks with the boss of the Rooney house
🍽️ And, of course, plenty of good food

September is looking busy busy busy😅

🏋🏼‍♂️ New training block starting Monday
🧘‍♀️ New Pilates block starting next week
⏰ 2 new class times being added to the timetable
👶 Mammy & Baby classes starting in September
✅ Newbies getting stuck into their 2-week trials

There’s already so much happening
There’s plenty of plans for the future
And there’s plenty of goals to be hit.

Month 1 done.

Month 2… your up

I was on a Zoom call today with a woman who was interested in joining
We were just having a chat about things and I asked her 👇

“So, what’s your goal from joining the gym?”

Her answer caught me off guard a bit…

“Honestly Shane, I’m doing this for my head.”

I’ve actually known this woman for a long time, and if you seen her walking down the street, she’s probably the last person you’d expect to hear say that

Shes someone you would look at and think, she has her s**t together 😂

But that’s the thing 🤷🏼‍♂️

You never really know what someone is dealing with behind closed doors.

I came away from the call and it stuck with me that the gym isn’t always about losing weight, building muscle or lifting heavier weights.

👉🏻 Sometimes it’s about having somewhere to go when your head is all over the place.

👉🏻 It’s about taking an hour for yourself.

👉🏻 Switching off from work, the kids, stress and everything else going on in life.

👉🏻 It’s about walking into the gym feeling s**t and walking out feeling that little better about yourself

It can give you routine ✅
It can give you confidence ✅
It can give you something to work towards ✅

And sometimes, it can simply give you an hour where you’re not thinking about everything else that’s going on

Don’t get me wrong, yes I want you to get stronger, fitter and achieve physical goals.

But if you leave the gym feeling better in yourself than when you walked in, that’s a win too 🫶🏻

WHY AM I RUNNING A 2 WEEK TRIAL? 👇🏼

Starting something new can be daunting.

Especially if you’ve never trained before, you’re lacking confidence, or you’re simply not sure if it’s a right fit for you.

For me, it gives me the chance to:

📝 Get to know you and where you’re starting from
🎯 Understand your goals and what you actually want to achieve
💪 See how you move, train and respond to coaching
🤝 Build a relationship with you before you commit to something
📈 Start putting the right plan in place for you

And for you, it gives you the chance to:

✅ Experience what we do
✅ See if you enjoy the training
✅ Find out if the days and times suit you and your schedule
✅ Meet me and get comfortable in the gym set up
✅ Try a mixture of SGPT, Pilates & Sweat classes
✅ See if you actually feel like this is the right place for you

The trial is 6 sessions across 2 weeks, giving you a proper feel for what we’re all about.

And there’s no pressure to continue.

You might absolutely love it…

Or you might hate it — and hate me too (join the queue)😂

Either way, I’d rather you find that out over 2 weeks than commit to something that isn’t right for you.

Come in. Give it a go. See what you think. 🙌🏻

✨ WHY I STARTED ✨

Honestly I used to hate the gym 😂

I didn’t start properly training in the gym until I was 18

I had just torn my ACL and meniscus playing a league game vs Devenish and suddenly something I had taken for granted — playing football — was taken away.

So It was either do the rehab in the gym or don’t play football again.

Simple choice really

At first, it was simply about getting my knee stronger and eventually getting back to playing for Belleek

But along the way, I became obsessed with it.

I loved getting stronger.
I loved seeing the numbers go up.
I loved seeing changes in my body.
I loved having something to work towards and seeing the results of the work I was putting in.

The gym went from being part of my rehab to becoming something I genuinely loved doing.

Now don’t get me wrong, it was a bloody long 13 months, a mental battle more than anything.

Fast forward to today and it is crazy that something I started at 18 because of an injury has ended up becoming my job.

I get to coach people every day.
I get to help people become stronger.
I get to see their confidence grow.
I get to watch people achieve things they never thought they could.

Funny how one of the worst moments at the time can completely change the direction of your life. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that

The moral of this story is….

Everyone’s fitness story is different
Everyone’s starting point is different
Everyone will have their own goals
There will always be ups and downs

Trust the process and you never know you might just fall in love with it too 🙌🏻

“I’LL START WHEN…”

When I have more time…
When work calms down…
When I lose a bit of weight…
When I’m fitter…
When the kids go back to school…
When I feel more confident…
When life isn’t so hectic.
When I know what I’m doing in the gym…
When I get some motivation….

The truth is… there will always be a reason to wait and not start..

You don’t need the perfect time… it doesn’t exist
You don’t need to be fit enough…
You don’t need to have it all figured out…

Start with where you are, and we’ll help you from there. 🙌🏻

✨Pilates✨

Great to kick off our first Pilates class this evening in Belleek 🙌🏻

It was brilliant to catch up with everyone, have a chat, see some familiar faces, and get the body moving again after an extended break 🌍

I cant lie I have got a serious buzz this week from being back coaching.
Seeing people wanting to challenge themselves, helping people to move better and ultimately people wanting to be better than they were yesterday ✅

Massive well done to everyone tonight.
We are back again Saturday 9am

✨ Community✨

Being lucky enough to Travel for 6 months gave me the opportunity to train in a lot of different gyms around the world 🌍

Some had incredible equipment, huge open spaces and unbelievable recovery areas

But something was missing…

Then I’d go to another gym, it was completely different vibe.
👋People would say hello…
🙋🏼Coaches knew everyone’s name…
💪Members encouraged each other…
🫶🏻And you instantly felt valued…

It made me realise that what makes a gym special isn’t the machines or how it looks…

It’s the people.

It’s being part of a community that gives you confidence when you’re new, accountability when motivation drops, support when you’re having a bad day, and people who genuinely celebrate your wins.

That’s the feeling we’re trying to create here.

Whether it’s your very first session or you’ve trained for years, we want everyone who walks through our doors to feel welcomed, supported, and part of something bigger than just a workout.

That’s the standard 🫶🏻
