What changes
Get fit & strong again
You get stronger, building muscle, and your fitness comes back. Stairs, hills and carrying things stop leaving you out of breath. You know what you’re doing in the gym because you understand the basics.
Make it last
Training stays in your week through busy spells and setbacks.
You know when to push and when to ease off.
You keep progressing, ready for your next goal.
You keep going
Once the foundations are in place, you start thinking about what else is possible. The lift you didn’t think you could do. The challenge you've written yourself off from.

Hi, I’m Karen. I’ve been a personal trainer for over ten years, and what I’ve learned is that simple works. When you get the foundations right (the basic movements, a simple programme, and nutrition and habits that fit your life), you build strength and fitness that lasts. I started Rebuild so people can learn those basics and do them well, then keep building on them instead of starting from scratch again.I know what it’s like to have to start again. In 2019, training for my first marathon, my rheumatoid arthritis spread and I had to stop running completely. I started again with one minute of jogging and two minutes of walking. Seven years later, in May 2026, I finished the Limerick Marathon.That’s what I bring to every client. I know what it feels like to lose your fitness and not know if you’ll get it back, and I know that by putting one foot in front of the other you can get back to feeling fit and strong again.
