Every client starts somewhere. These stories show what can happen with the right support and a consistent plan.
Karen is an excellent PT. When I first went to Karen, I had zero gym knowledge. She made me a concrete plan from the off and we went from there. Karen helped me make great progress over the last couple of months and has always been great to work around my busy schedule and is always very accommodating. I couldn’t recommend Karen highly enough, she is very friendly and helpful and will help you achieve great results.Eamonn Power ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am currently an online client of Karen’s. I would highly recommend her for anyone hoping to start their fitness journey. My first call with Karen set the tone... she listened to what I wanted, took into account the time I had to work with and worked out a programme for me which we have continued to build on every month. I’ve gone from going for the odd walk to working out in the gym 3 times a week, walking and even starting to jog. I can’t believe who I am now! I love feeling stronger and like I’m doing something positive for myself. Karen checks in every week with you and is always encouraging.Deirdre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Karen is a very experienced and knowledgeable PT. She has adjusted my weekly plan based on my running and triathlon training volumes and really personalised my exercises taking into account specific areas of weakness. I have really seen the benefit to my running and triathlon performances this year. I really enjoy working with Karen and I know I can easily speak to her one on one if I have any issues I want to chat through.Becky McGrath ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've been with Karen for a while now & TBH....her P Training has helped me more than just from a physical perspective. I think this is down to her, I suppose, holistic approach to what she does. Everyone has their own reasons for going down the PT route, for me....it was to gain strength as means of future proofing. I'm not old but was beginning to FEEL old & getting nervous of falling etc! My strength has 100% improved and my outlook has also. I've had a couple of physical hurdles over past while but....as Karen has instilled in me...the body is made up of so many parts.....most workouts can be adjusted & strengthening will only help. I'm stronger & more confident in what I can achieve now. Karen is very knowledgeable & invested in what she does.....she can be tough too in that she will get the best out of you in a session. Highly recommend her.Siobhan Teahan Brennan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am extremely happy with my experience working with Karen. I started from scratch and she has been very supportive and practical, encouraging me to push myself but always realistic. I would heartily recommend her as a personal trainer.Anne Carroll ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not only is Karen a fantastic PT she is also a beautiful person with buckets of empathy and ambition for her clients, she is a powerful mentor and going to Karen twice a week is the best investment I have made in my health. ÁineAine Mc Grath ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
