Michelle O'Connor, strength coach, County Mayo

You don't need to be "fit" to start.

You might be starting from scratch, returning after time away, or ready to stop winging it.

Wherever you're starting from, you're welcome here.

Strength with purpose

Imagine feeling genuinely strong.

Not just "toned". Not just smaller.

Strong.

Strong enough to lift something you couldn't six months ago. Strong enough to walk into the gym knowing what you're doing. Strong enough to trust your body.

That's what we're working towards.

Find your fit

Three ways to get stronger.

Small-group strength

Structured small-group strength with expert coaching in Balla.

Michelle O'Connor, personal trainer
Why train with me?

My goal isn't to make you dependent on me.

It's to help you become confident enough to train with purpose, with or without me.

I'll teach you to move well, understand your training and build strength progressively.

Real women. Real progress.

See what happens when you train with purpose.

"I can't believe I've doubled the weight I'm lifting since week 1 — I never thought I'd say that! I'm not half as sore after sessions either, and I've really started to enjoy the RDLs. Delighted with how it's all going."

Mary B., Galway

"Been training with Michelle now for a while and loving it, always looking forward to our session. I feel I'm making great progress… Delighted with the improvement it has made to my overall health and mobility."
