In the past number of weeks, I have:
✅Reduced weight by 9Kg, so I feel much better and fit my clothes a lot better.
✅Gained a much better understanding of nutrition and food portions.
✅Ran my fastest 10 miles in 4 years and felt great afterward.
✅Started doing weight-bearing exercises and gym workouts with increasing weights.
In conclusion:
My top goal was to lose a bit of weight – especially belly fat. I had increased cardio exercise quite a bit but was only losing a small amount of weight, and I was carrying that weight while running and on the bike.
Adrian assessed my individual requirements and goals and came up with a progressive gym program to fit around my other training with a couple of sessions that I could also do at home on days I couldn’t make it to the gym.
He also set calorie targets and gave good guidance on nutrition and macro balance in my diet. This was all backed up with:

Caroline - From Working Out & Not Seeing Results to Losing a Stone!
Before starting, I was training 4-5 times a week but wasn't seeing any difference in my weight. I am a bit overwhelmed with how quickly I lost weight after years of trying. I am eating more food than ever before, yet I lost a stone in 3 months – something I couldn't do in years! I am feeling much better in all areas of my life and enjoying the process much more!"
David Thompson- From Skinny Fat to Abs: Transforming Health While Traveling!
Shoutout to David Thompson - a busy teacher in a high performing job who got visible abs despite travelling away to Spain in the summer.
Prior to working with us David:
❌ Was overfed but undernourished
❌ Was doing Joe Wicks HIIT Workouts
❌ Complained about being skinny fat and wanted to make a change!
We'd only just started working together and he started seeing immediate results!
We did this by:
✅ Implementing our Metabolic Priming Diet to prime his metabolism to lose bodyfat while maintaining muscle mass. We used our Easy to Eat Out Guide to help David enjoy social events and stay in shape.
✅ Doing Metabolic Resistance Training - a unique style of training which increases your strength, muscle tone and fitness in the most time efficient manner possible. The best thing was David was able to do this anywhere in the world!
✅ Specially designed 1:1 accountability around 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴 to take control of his body and health
He’s gained confidence, fit's better in his clothes and his only regret is he didn't start sooner!
Frank Byrnes - From Following Unsustainable Diets to Feeling his Fittest in his 50's!
Before starting, I wanted to lose 5lbs, be stronger, more flexible, and the fittest I can be in my 50’s. I didn’t have a proper gym plan. I didn’t understand food even though I had great dietitians work with me in the past. Adrian’s service is supportive, it offers accountability, and it’s really educational on every call. The personal touch is excellent and it’s great value for money - not seen until you’re in the process of the journey.
✅10 lbs lighter
✅Belt size down
✅More energy
✅Much more flexible
✅Stronger
✅My food knowledge has totally changed for life
✅My whole lifestyle has changed
✅I ain’t a star pupil but I got far more out of it than I put into it
✅Enjoying good gym sessions
What about an approach like this…
Why did this guy go on a McLifestyle journey after having run 32 marathons, some ultras up to 100km, lost a stone to get a jockey's license to race horses, and become a motor racing champion?
Well, not just because he loves a challenge—it’s because he wants to be the fittest, healthiest, strongest, and most flexible guy in his 50s. He knows the value of looking after himself. But why does a guy like Frank, so focused and driven, need a health coach?
I needed the support, the accountability, and the education on food. Plus the connection to the McLifestyle Community. I’m a new man, and I loved the journey.

David's transformation journey is similar to my own!
When David first came to us, he was struggling with:
Lack of confidence in the gym environment
No consistent routine or structure to his training
The "skinny fat" physique that wouldn't change despite efforts

We helped David succeed by:
Creating a progressive training plan that built his confidence step by step
Establishing a structured routine that fit naturally into his lifestyle
Developing a nutrition approach that supported both fat loss and muscle development
The results have been life-changing - 17Kg of weight loss, confidence to use any equipment in the gym, and a sustainable routine he actually enjoys maintaining!
How did he do it? The 3 Step Metabolic Priming Method (MPM).
Phase 1: Priming = Decrease your bodyfat
Phase 2: Performance = Build muscle (tone up)
Phase 3: Peak Metabolism = Reverse diet and rebuild metabolism (in progress)

How Davey Lost 10Kg of Bodyfat
Tired of Working Hard But Still Feeling “Skinny Fat”?
Most busy dads fall into the same trap…
They overtrain. Undereat. Try to “clean things up” with cardio.
And end up stuck in the same position with no real results.
That was Davey at 44.
A father of 4, juggling work, stress, and family — all while trying to feel good in his own skin again.
He tried the YouTube workouts.
The unsustainable elimination diets.
The “just eat less and move more” advice.
But nothing stuck.
Until he made one decision that changed everything.
He joined us — and dropped 10kg.
Leanest he’s ever been. Strongest too.
More confident than ever and fitter in his 40’s than his 30’s!
Now?
He trains 4x/week, eats food he loves, and his kids look up to him as the example
Because when you train smart, fuel properly, and have real coaching behind you — everything changes.
You don’t just lose weight.
You build a lifestyle worth passing on.
How’d he do it?
The 3 Step Metabolic Priming Method (MPM).
Phase 1: Priming — Rebooted his metabolism & stripped stubborn fat
Phase 2: Performance — Built lean muscle & strength (with less cardio!)
Phase 3: Peak Metabolism — Locked in the habits that make it stick
No fads. No starving. No guesswork.
Just a proven system for high-performing dads who want real results — without sacrificing their life.

Adrian - Production Manager
“Before starting I wanted to tone up and get stronger.
I had problem with knowing what exercise/workouts to do.
I would get frustrated doing workouts almost daily and eating what I thought was a good diet and not seeing results.
Adrian’s service was so adaptable, I was worried I would get stressed about workouts and meal prep and getting the right macros, but everything was so helpful in explaining how to do each exercise, and keeping track of what I was eating.
I feel like it was always a positive service focusing on the wins and what can be improved. I feel it was very interactive with messages back and forward and being able to ask any questions at any time.

🥇 Feeling stronger - Each month I felt stronger and more capable and wanted to push myself more, I previously used to focus on cardio and just losing weight but now I enjoy strength workouts more.

Tamim - Doctor
We are super proud of Tamim - a busy dad in a high-performing job who saw his abs for the first time in his 40s!
Prior to working with us, Tamim:
Was underfuelling his body & not making enough informed food choices
Wasn't following a progressive strength training program and was just working out
Complained about being skinny fat and wanted to make a change!
We'd only just started working together, and he started seeing immediate results!
We did this by:
Knowing and planning what to eat for his goals
Tailored workouts, incorporating a combination of designated strength work and cardio that he could do from home
Specially designed 1:1 accountability around long-term habits to take control of his body and health
He’s gained confidence in his ability and himself, looks and feels better, and even gained more energy by doing more activity (that’s my personal favorite).

How Daniel Lost 15.7Kg/34lbs in 20 Weeks
Daniel's journey wasn’t about a quick fix or an overnight transformation.
When we first connected, he was frustrated and tired of the cycle of losing weight, only to see it creep back on.
He’d tried group coaching before, but he felt he didn’t have the 1:1 support he needed.
After his family holiday in Spain, Daniel realized he needed to make a change as he didn’t feel 100% confident in himself.
That’s when we hopped on a call and built out his plan: a fitness program designed to fit his lifestyle, meet his needs, and keep him progressing.
Through our 4-Step Metabolic Priming Method, Daniel found the structure and support he’d been missing.
While working 1:1 alongside our performance coach Ollie, step by step, he shed 34 pounds over 20 weeks.
More than just the physical changes, he gained confidence, energy, and the sense of accomplishment he’d wanted for so long.
If you’re ready to make a real commitment to yourself, to feel healthier and more energized, now is the perfect time to start.
Conor - Bank Manager
John -Electrician
My goals were to lose a bit of weight and then tone up. I also wanted to change my eating habits.
Before starting this program I lacked consistency with meals and exercising.
Adrian’s daily check ins and feedback was a real help and made you want to do better.
🏆ACHIEVEMENTS:
Lost weight
More confident
Better meal planning
Fitting back into old clothesput into it
I was absolutely delighted when I could fit back in to old clothes. I feel a lot more confident in what I wear now. Anyone thinking of starting, 100% go for it!
The thoughts of a personal trainer or even signing up to a programme before used to scare me but Adrian has changed that. I now enjoy working out and eating a lot better!
Tamim - Doctor
We are super proud of Tamim - a busy dad in a high-performing job who saw his abs for the first time in his 40s!
Prior to working with us, Tamim:
Was underfuelling his body & not making enough informed food choices
Wasn't following a progressive strength training program and was just working out
Complained about being skinny fat and wanted to make a change!
We'd only just started working together, and he started seeing immediate results!
We did this by:
Knowing and planning what to eat for his goals
Tailored workouts, incorporating a combination of designated strength work and cardio that he could do from home

David Sullivan - Dad of 4
How Davey Lost 10Kg of Bodyfat
Tired of Working Hard But Still Feeling “Skinny Fat”?
Most busy dads fall into the same trap…
They overtrain. Undereat. Try to “clean things up” with cardio.
And end up stuck in the same position with no real results.
That was Davey at 44.
A father of 4, juggling work, stress, and family — all while trying to feel good in his own skin again.
He tried the YouTube workouts.
The unsustainable elimination diets.
The “just eat less and move more” advice.
But nothing stuck.
Until he made one decision that changed everything.
He joined us — and dropped 10kg.
Leanest he’s ever been. Strongest too.
More confident than ever and fitter in his 40’s than his 30’s!
Now?
He trains 4x/week, eats food he loves, and his kids look up to him as the example
Because when you train smart, fuel properly, and have real coaching behind you — everything changes.
You don’t just lose weight.
You build a lifestyle worth passing on.
How’d he do it?
The 3 Step Metabolic Priming Method (MPM).
Phase 1: Priming — Rebooted his metabolism & stripped stubborn fat
Phase 2: Performance — Built lean muscle & strength (with less cardio!)
Phase 3: Peak Metabolism — Locked in the habits that make it stick
No fads. No starving. No guesswork.
Just a proven system for high-performing dads who want real results — without sacrificing their life.

“Before starting I wanted to tone up and get stronger.
I had problem with knowing what exercise/workouts to do.
I would get frustrated doing workouts almost daily and eating what I thought was a good diet and not seeing results.
Adrian’s service was so adaptable, I was worried I would get stressed about workouts and meal prep and getting the right macros, but everything was so helpful in explaining how to do each exercise, and keeping track of what I was eating.
I feel like it was always a positive service focusing on the wins and what can be improved. I feel it was very interactive with messages back and forward and being able to ask any questions at any time.

Allison - Robotics Developer
“Before starting I wanted to tone up around my abdominal area and reduce the circumference of upper arms.
1. I had no consistent exercise routine
2. I had no idea where to start with weightlifting / using dumbbells
3. Was sick and tired of cardio and didn’t enjoy it
Adrian was well set up which I’m not sure if offered by other services.
The service was really well organised and ailoredt pretty well to my individual needs. Adrian was very personable and truly lovely to deal with and went above and beyond whenever I had questions.
🏆 Wins:
1. Lost 2 inches off the waist and visible abdominal muscles now show. This felt great as it was the first time in a long time I felt confident going to the pool over the summer.
2. Clothing fits better and I can now wear a better range of clothing I wouldn’t have felt confident about before.
3. Felt stronger and had more energy, which allowed me get through the day without feeling tired or hazy
4. I had fractured my elbow and recovered within 2 weeks, which I don’t think would have been possible had I not been training and trying to stick to my plan
5. My mental health was much better and I felt like a more positive and optimistic person
I feel good and less insecure about my body, mentally I now know that exercise can be really enjoyable and really help me manage stress from a busy schedule. I’m optimistic about how much more I can achieve.
Anyone thinking of starting, go for it if you want to be equipped with the knowledge you need to achieve goals in terms of toning and nutrition.
I learned a huge amount from Adrian and it’s a great place to start. I’m so glad I did it and I’ve been getting compliments since like never before about how much leaner I look!
I also think it’s helped me mentally in the transition from summer to autumn / winter, which I find hard at times with darker evenings. The constant exercise keeps my head on point and makes me a better person overall. Thank you Adrian!”
David - Business Owner
Before starting, Aidan was stuck in a rut.
After a holiday, his weight crept up, leaving him with too much belly fat.
He felt uncomfortable, unfit, and unhappy every time he looked in the mirror.
He knew he wasn’t the man he used to be—and it was time to make a change.
His energy levels were low, and he didn’t feel like his younger self.
He missed the days when he felt strong, lean, and fit.
That’s when Aidan joined our 1:1 High Performance Health Program at McLifestyle Fitness and started working with his 1:1 Performance Coach Ollie.
In just 12 weeks, he completely turned things around.
He lost over 14kg, regained his strength, boosted his energy, and now feels leaner and fitter than he has in his playing in GAA back in his 30’s!
If Aidan’s story resonates with you, we can help you do the same! 💪
Chris - Lead Aviator
“Before starting my clothes didn’t fit as good as I’d like! I wasn’t enjoying my training routine and I wasn’t happy in myself.
What was different about your service was the 1:1 call to see if we would actually work well together.
To be given a chance to explain and to discuss what I had written in the application form.
The fact that there was active listening to what I was saying about the gym experience and my expectations.
The goal setting process was great as it helped to focus my mindset.
The weekly check-ins improved accountability.
It’s also great that changes to the programme can be made if it is felt something isn’t working.
1) Achievement = Losing weight sustainably. This has helped me to feel better in my body, clothes are fitting well and they look good on me too. Increased my confidence and general impression of myself.
2) Achievement = Mentally, seeing a leaner/toned body helps to keep the motivation going and is great for the mindset.
3) Achievement= Food choices, making smarter food choices has been a win and improving my overall understanding of quantity and the quality of food.
Now I feel better in myself, look better and have a more positive impression of myself. I have also learned that I can achieve a lot once I don’t lose sight of the goals.
If you are committed to making a change then Adrian and his team are willing and only too happy to share insights, knowledge and support to help you achieve your set targets or goals.
Approachability and saying it how it is are two key strengths of Adrian and his team as coaches.
Brian - Project Manager
“When I started my top goals were to tone up, improve fitness and overall feel better about myself and get my confidence back.
Before I started this program I found it hard to find anything that worked as everything I tried before required me to workout 6c a week which isn’t possible with my work schedule.
I tried a very strict low cal low carb diet that I couldn’t keep up and gave up shortly after.
With this program my work outs are short and can be easily fitted in after work 3-4 days a week which is a much easier amount to actually commit to.
Diet wise I don’t really feel like I've given up much at all I never feel hungry because I’ve been provided with loads of low cal high protein options.
I don’t feel bad about a night out or a meal out because I’ve been shown how to incorporate this into my life so I really don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.
So far I can feel a huge difference in the way clothes fit which is such an amazing feeling to be able to wear some of the things I have hidden away in the back of the wardrobe because I didn’t feel comfortable in them.
Every week I can see the number on the scale dropping.
The differences in the weekly photos just makes you feel like the hard work I have put in is actually all worth it!
Life is great now - I have so much more energy.
I feel my fitness is improving and I generally just feel so much better with myself.
But the best part is I’ll be able to keep it up long term after the programme is finished because I didn’t think it could be so straight forward.
To anyone thinking of trying this I would say absolutely go for it!
It’s super easy to follow and it’s tailored around my schedule and what works best for me.
Adrian and his team are always there with advise to help you when things get slightly tough or to answer any questions & just to provide a bit of encouragement.
It can be the little words of encouragement ya need to nudge you to get up and go!”
Marc - TV & Film Producer
"For me my goals was to get into good shape and feel good and to be able to sustain that then long term.
The biggest problem I had was I would be very good at the start of the week and be really strict and by the weekend I'd be eating all around me.
My challenge was not knowing what to do in the gym and not wasting time. I had a plan for each session and was able to best use my time in the gym.
I really liked what I was seeing on Instagram with the posts and thought that I could see myself fitting in a lot of the points to myself.
🏆 Wins
✅ Hitting 150kgs deadlift. I was delighted to lift that weight. I done it a week early on my goal and for a few reps.
❌ Not feeling like I'm on a diet and yet still losing weight.
🔥 The biggest win for me is how I feel in myself. Feel really good and feel very confident in myself.
Life is very busy with work and everything but I'm really enjoying my journey working with Adrian and the team. I'm really enjoying pushing myself at the gym and competing against myself each week to better my weights or reps.
I would say to anybody to go for it, the only regret that you will have is that you didn't do it sooner."

Frank - Business Owner
“Before starting I wanted to lose 5lbs, be stronger, more flexible & the
fittest I can be in my 50’s.
I didn’t have a proper gym plan. I didn’t understand food even through I’d great dietitians work with me in past.
Adrian’s service is supportive. It offers accountability and it’s really educational on every call. The personal touch is excellent and it’s great value for money - not seen until you’re in the process of the program.
10lbs lighter, a belt size down & more energy
Much more Flexible & Stronger
My food knowledge has totally changed for life
I ain’t a star pupil but I got far more out of it than I put into it
What about an approach like this……. Why this guy went on a McLifestyle journey after having ran 32 marathons and some ultra’s up to 100km?
Well not just because he loves a challenge, it’s because he wants to be the fittest, healthiest, strongest and most flexible guy in his 50’s.
He knows the values of looking after himself. But why does a guy like Frank that so focused and driven need a health coach?
I needed the support, the accountability and the education on food. Plus the connection of the McLifestyle Community.
I’m a new man andI loved the journey.
Michaela - Production Operator
“When I first started Adrian’s program I wanted to just trim down and tone up, which I was trying to do for years but could never succeed.
I was always into going to the gym and working out but I was never consistent with myself or my diet so I never got the results I wanted.
I was frustrated because I knew I had to be consistent to get what I wanted but would never bring myself to do it.
From day one Adrian has helped me with my nutrition side and scheduled workouts to suit me. This really helped as everyday I had to be accountable for what I ate and the workouts I did.
As time went on throughout the weeks I saw major improvements in my physique and also felt much better mentally as I was changing my daily habits.
Since starting, I have:
Trimmed unwanted body fat
Became stronger and fitter
Feel more confident
Gained new healthy habits
Now that I have been consistent over the past 12 weeks, the program has become more of a habit of eating the right foods and working out 3/4 days a week. I feel great finally achieving what I wanted.
I would highly recommend Adrian he is unreal at what he does, he makes sure you’re consistent and really helps to achieve your goals.”
Colm - Teacher
“Many people who set off on their fitness journey have all the determination required to achieve their goals but lack the knowledge on how to achieve them.
Before working with Adrian I would have put myself in this category.
Bouncing from idea to idea without seeing results.
Adrian has a fantastic ability to simplify what is compilated.
It's no surprise to hear that he was once a teacher.
My only regret is that I hadn't known of Adrian's programme years ago.
Anyone thinking of starting, its the best investment you can make in yourself.”
Darren - Athlete
Before starting, I wanted to get leaner and stronger and to prevent injury. Previously, I was constantly going to the gym and not seeing any results. I thought I was eating too much food until I actually found out I wasn't eating enough at all. I had no structure to my gym sessions. I got to a stage where I was beginning to give up on the gym as I thought it just wasn't for me when I wasn't seeing results.
When I contacted Adrian, he provided me with a structured program which was tailored to suit me and his nutritional advice was second to none. I slowly started to get addicted to it and I enjoyed every minute of it. The harder and tougher it got, the more I saw results.
Since starting I:
Am much more confident in my body
Way leaner
Have more energy
Am much stronger
Since finishing the initial 12 weeks, life has improved immensely. I’m more confident, have gotten faster, know how to control my nutrition, my sleeping pattern has improved a lot and for once I'm actually looking forward to going back training
Anyone considering working with Adrian, I would tell them to 100% do it. It was the best investment I made in 2020.”
Ruta
My main goal was to drop body fat, tone up & feel better in my clothes as well as follow a more consistent workout plan.
I didn’t have great consistency with my workouts. I was doing random workouts without knowing what muscles they were targeting or why I was doing them.
I also had a lack of knowledge about the correct ratio of macronutrients I should be consuming to achieve my goals.
Regular check ins on nutrition and workouts is a huge motivating factor & reassures me that I’m on the right track.
Being able to ask Adrian questions as well is brilliant, I feel like I’ve learned loads from him already about different aspects of both training and nutrition & I now understand why I’m actually doing what I’m doing!
Wins:
🥇Biggest achievement is definitely getting back to enjoying strength training.
🥇I’ve learned that the scales is not the only measure of progress and not allowing it to have a negative impact on my mindset.
🥇I’m now fuelling my body properly which has had a huge impact on my energy levels 🙌🏻
🥇Feeling much more confident in my clothes as I’m starting to see my body tone up.
I can’t rate Adrian highly enough! I genuinely believe if I had someone like Adrian to help me on my fitness journey years ago it would have saved me a lot of struggles!
He is a wealth of knowledge and is so passionate about what he does. From the get go he was so approachable and really listened to my goals and never made me feel judged!
I was so on the fence about investing in a PT/coach but I’m so glad I reached out to Adrian, so clichéd but genuinely my only regret is not doing it sooner!
Gearóid - Accountant
"My main goals were to lose weight and learn how to keep it off.
I had lost weight before but without getting any training or guidance, so it slowly came back over the years.
I wanted to get back to what I was, but do it properly!
I didnt know about nutrition and would get conflicting advice so I gave up!
Portion control and figuring out ratios of veg/meat/carbs was also a problem. I thought smaller meals were the solution but it was the content that needed to change!
I also didnt know what exercises to do. I would just go on the treadmill, crosstrainer or rowing machine for 20-30 mins and think that was enough.
I've never worked with a PT before but it was great that there was no judgement, just encouragement.
The wins were celebrated and we didn't dwell on any falls. They were noted and we moved on, always moving towards the main goal. The regular advice and check-ins were a great way to keep me in line and focused too.
🏆Achievements:
Losing nearly 4 inches off my waistline.
Fitting into trousers and shirts that I haven’t worn in years but refused to throw out is the best feeling
Running 2km in 11 minutes. It took me 7 mins to run/walk a km at the start of this programme
Regularly doing 40+ pushups in each workout. At the start I could barely do 9 incline pushups.
Life's going to be happier. I didnt realise but I had started avoiding events with friends (like hikes or swims) that might require a level of fitness for fear of not being able or embarassing myself.
Even clothes shopping was a pain as I wouldnt find something that would fit that I'd also like.
Anyone thinking of starting, be committed to put in the time and effort! Its not always easy buts its effective!

✅ Hitting 150kgs deadlift. I was delighted to lift that weight. I done it a week early on my goal and for a few reps.
❌ Not feeling like I'm on a diet and yet still losing weight.
🔥 The biggest win for me is how I feel in myself. Feel really good and feel very confident in myself.
Life is very busy with work and everything but I'm really enjoying my journey working with Adrian and the team. I'm really enjoying pushing myself at the gym and competing against myself each week to better my weights or reps.
I would say to anybody to go for it, the only regret that you will have is that you didn't do it sooner."
