I am quiet person and was nervous about starting a fitness class. I'd tried fitness DVDs and walking but was never consistent. What I needed was routing and a coach to give me confidence and keep me motivated. Owen provided all that I needed to keep myself focused on my fitness and health. As the classes are small groups, I found this less daunting and Owen would always ensure I was doing the exercises correctly. As a shift worker, I work different days and hours. Transform Ireland offers classes each day in the mornings and evenings, so I'm able to keep on track each week. My fitness and mindset have improved so much over the past 2 years which is due to Owen's exercise plan and his commitment to keeping classes going even during bank holidays and holiday periods. I've met the loveliest people through Transform Ireland. We are all different ages, genders, sizes and fitness levels but we all blend and work out well together. I 100% recommend Transform Ireland... you won't regret it.

I joined Transform Ireland in January 2021 and have not looked back. I wanted to become fitter as I was searching for something away from my work. In doing so I opened a new chapter of my life and gained new friends along the way. It isn't easy starting something new and we can be consumed by different things which stops our growth. I would say if you're reading this, it is a sign to just take that step. You'll never look back and it's your time to do something for you!

I joined Transform Ireland as I wanted to build strength and train in a small group environment. I was anxious about joining a gym where everyone else may be fitter and younger than me. However, from the first day I walked in the door everyone made me feel very welcome and size, age, gender or level of fitness was irrelevant. I was able to work out at my own pace without the need to keep up with anyone. I am now a lot stronger and have grown in confidence. I no longer feel anxious about joining any session. I joined knowing no one as I'm not from the area and now I can join any session during the week and meet a familiar friendly face. I am with Transform Ireland one year. If you are in doubt about joining my advice would be to give it a go. The hardest part is making the first move to do it. There is such a lovely welcoming atmosphere where everyone is encouraged regardless of fitness or ability. Just make that call, you will never regret it.

I would highly recommend Transform Ireland to anyone looking to start on their fitness journey or push themselves further to enhance their fitness. I was so nervous starting back into training/exercise after taking a break for nearly a year. I was afraid I wouldn't be fit for it but Owen instantly made me feel at ease from day one and was very reassuring. He is a supportive coach and takes the time to show you how to do the exercises properly and helps with any fears you may have. In the short space of time since I started, I already notice a different physically and mentally and can't wait to see what the future brings.

I am Margaret, a 50 something mother of 2, grandmother of 3, and I would say I'm a very positive outgoing person, but in May 2021, post-covid and just battled through breast cancer, I was feeling isolated, sluggish, and very down about my weight, appearance, and general wellbeing, my son Ryan was signed up to join Transform Ireland run by Fitness Coach Owen and Mindfulness Coach Joanne. I was apprehensive when he suggested I go along with him to the 8-week Transformation Challenge, but he encouraged me to go to just one class and see how I felt. I walked into the hall that first evening filled with dread, fear and a big knot in my stomach thinking I was going to be the oldest (I wasn't), the biggest (I wasn't), the unfittest (I wasn't) but the fear was still real. As soon as Owen approached me and introduced himself, he put me at ease, he pointed out the class was a mix of ages, fitness levels and that everyone was there for the same reason; to get fit and lose a few pounds. That evening changed my whole mindset of "gym bunnies" and with the help of Coach Owen, Mindfulness Coach Joanne and the members of Transform Ireland, in those 8 weeks I dropped 16 lb and found a fitter, confident, more determined, healthy version of myself. 2 years on, I'm still with Transform Ireland, enjoying hikes, kayaking and lots of activities I never would have tried before and I put that all in the hands of Joanne and Owen and the Transform Ireland members who support, uplift and encourage each other to be the best version of themselves, to think big and aim high. If you're thinking of getting fitter, stronger, losing weight, gaining confidence, being more mindful and all in a friendly, supportive environment, then all I can say is Do It for YOU, you won't regret it. Owen, Joanne, and the team are the best in the business.

I joined Transform Ireland 13 weeks ago. My aim was to improve my strength and conditioning while shedding the pounds. I have achieved a 6 lb weight loss. My mobility has increased greatly, and confidence is much higher. The team at Transform Ireland are totally nonjudgmental. Being quite big I was self-conscious... but Owen and Amanda made me feel right at home. There is a great sense of community with the Facebook and WhatsApp groups which is also a great help.
