What Your Peers Are Saying...
Frank Byrnes - From Following Unsustainable Diet's to Feeling his Fittest in his 50's!
“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 ever call.
The personal touch is excellent and it’s great value for money - not seen until you’re in the process of the journey.
Some of my achievements so far:
1. 10 lbs lighter
2. Belt size down
3. More energy
4. Much more flexible
5. Stronger
6. My food knowledge has totally changed for life
7. My whole lifestyle has changed
8. I ain’t a star pupil but I got far more out of it than I put into it
9. Enjoying good gym sessions
What about an approach like this…….
Why this guy went on a McLifestyle journey after having ran 32 marathons some ultra’s up to 100km, lost a stone weight to get jockeys license to race horses, and 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 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 & I loved the journey.
Maurice Boyle - From Doing Endless Cardio with Limited Results to Joining the Gym For the First Time & Losing 9Kg in 90 Days!
“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:
☑️The McLifestyle app which tied into MyFitness pal.
✔️Frequent feedback messages on progression in gym and with nutrition and positive mindset messages.
☑️ Regular coaching calls and check-ins for 1:1 with Adrian
✔️Accountability forms – to drive your commitment to realising your own goals.
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
☑️Run my fastest 10 mile in 4 years and felt great after it
✔️Started doing weight bearing exercises and doing gym workouts with increasing weights.
With these changes that I feel healthier and stronger, and I feel that I have a good knowledge base built up with nutrition.
I feel this will help significantly in staying healthy and will help prevent injury in the long term.
If you need help in achieving your goals towards a healthier diet and lifestyle, losing some weight and building your strength then I would really recommend Adrian’s program.
Eoin Barron - From no Gym Experience to Toning up While Travelling & Training from Home
Before starting, I wanted to gain more confidence by losing some weight, increasing fitness, and toning up.
Flexibility is the most important aspect of this program for me.
Also, the great advice and accountability via the different forums, checkins, weekly call etc.
Since starting I have:
☑️Increased Fitness levels - I feel great for my age.
☑️Toned Up - much more confidence.
☑️Lost Weight- clothes feel good, and I get compliments, which gives me confidence.
☑️Improved my nutrition- better understanding of foods and balanced diet.
Anyone thinking of starting, give it a go if the time is right.
If you've been thinking about it, just go for it.
Aoife Cafferkey - From Following Endless Diets to Developing a Love for Working Out While Eating Foods She Enjoys
“Top goals were to lose weight and get healthier.
I was feeling uncomfortable in my skin and the general day to day tasks were getting tougher than they should with fatigue and burn out high on the list.
I was becoming out of breath easily and getting aches and pains. Fatigue was high and meant I lacked motivation not knowing where to start.
Your service allowed me to change my lifestyle to fit my work/life balance. I can do things on my own time and know that I will have accountability and answers to any questions I might have.
It allows me to fit workouts wherever is best for me but have videos and a program to follow.
☑️I am at the lowest weight I’ve ever been
☑️I am the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been. I can visibly see muscles I never thought I would have.
☑️I am more body confident, happier to take photos and enjoy moments more with less discomfort.
☑️I enjoy working out, and look forward to going to the gym, which would have been unheard of before I started with Adrian
☑️I am confident in my food choices on a day to day basis and no longer allow little slip ups or bad days destroy my progress. I feel like a different person.
Now I make healthier choices by default.
This year has probably been one of the best I’ve ever had in terms of my mental and physical health because of this program.
I would advise anyone to trust the process and don’t give into the naysayers or the voices internally telling you you can’t do it.
Adrian & Co won’t steer you wrong and will support you 100% - particularly through your bad days!
Give it 2 solid months and you’ll feel so different.
Adrian and his team are there for you whatever questions or concerns you have no matter how silly you may think they are!”
Sean O Boyle - From Crash Dieting to Staying Lean Year Round while Training like an Athlete!
“Before starting I wanted to stay lean for more than an 8-12 week period before crashing off once done. I always found after finishing other programs that I’d crash immediately and end up losing the results I worked hard for!
Since starting the program, it helped me understand that it was okay if I had a bad day or days, taught me how to get back on track and improved my mindset and reaction to this happening.
I have:
☑️ Gotten Stronger
✔️ Increased Confidence
☑️ Better Sleep
✔️ Did a Successful Cut & “Peak Week.”
Since finishing I am now able to keep a long term focus on my fitness and nutrition and haven’t seen myself ‘crash off’ which happened previously.
Anyone thinking of starting, stop thinking and just have an initial call with Aido to see what he can offer you!
He is professional, energetic, has a great mindset and can support you in achieving the goals you are looking for! Investing in yourself is one of the best things you can do for the long term.”
Síofra Keogh - Comfortable & Confident in her Clothes without doing endless Cardio!
“Before working with Adrian I struggled with my weight.
It fluctuated regularly. I didn’t know what type of exercises to do for my body to keep my weight consistent and tone up.
I also struggled with my diet. Although I ate most foods, I had little knowledge of how much to eat of certain foods and where to cut back."
"After only a few weeks into the program, I already started seeing progress.
Achievements 🏆
☑️ I have gotten stronger and have increased my weights
✔️ I have visibly toned up
☑️ I have lost inches
✔️ I had the confidence to wear a bikini at the beach
I would advise anybody looking to finally see lasting results in their body or gain nutritional advise to start working with Adrian.
He creates a personal plan catered to your specific needs for what you want to achieve.”
Fearghal Ryan - From Small Group PT Classes to Doing Weighted Chin Ups!
“My main goal was to continue to get leaner while also toning up my muscle. I also didn’t want my strength to suffer and progressively lift heavier. All that linked into wanting to feel more confident.
Before the program I was struggling with motivation and varying my workouts. I had only been working out 3 days a week and was needing a new challenge and an introduction to new exercises.
The explaining of all the nutrition and what does what and why it’s important was really good.
The app was fantastic with the videos to go along with it and the fact any questions you had was answered was really impressive.
Adrian’s knowledge and expertise when it comes to Physical health and well-being was a huge benefit to the program too.
🏆 Wins:
🥇 Progressing onto weighted pull ups was very rewarding, this was one area I had struggled with in the past
🏅 Hitting 3 digits in my squat was massive and a real confident boost
Life is really good now. I’m feeling 10 times more confident about my appearance and also when facing into workouts. Working out has just become part of my everyday routine and I’m loving it!
Anyone thinking of starting, I would highly recommend it, Adrian will definitely bring your training to the next level. If you are serious about reaching your goals and willing to put in the work you are pretty much guaranteed to see results🏋️♀️”
Ian Feerick & Alison McHugh - Getting Ready for their Wedding Day!
“Before starting, my goal was to tone up, get stronger but most importantly develop a consistent routine.
Consistency and diet were my two biggest problems. I would often do well for a week or two but would inevitably miss a session and then fall off the wagon.
It was a similar issue with diet. I would do well for a few days but once I had a bad day, that would be it until the following Monday when "I'll start again."
Since starting, it's no longer all or nothing but rather being consistent over time. I still enjoy a treat most nights and have the knowledge to leave some calories in the bank to allow me to do that.
Wins:
- Toned up
- Stronger
- Flexibility
- Confidence
- Consistency
As a result of the program, I've seen first hand that progress is addictive and I want to improve every week.
If you're struggling with consistency and accountability, then it's a no brainer to work with Adrian. The program will also have a positive impact on both your physical and mental well-being.
Thanks Aido! 👍”
Alan McEvoy - From Binging/Restricting & Not Knowing what to do in the gym to Deadlifting 150Kg!
"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 would say to anybody to go for it, the only regret that you will have is that you didn't do it sooner."
Meaghan Leahy - How She Dropped 10lbs in 8 Weeks Despite Having 2 Weddings!
“I had a lot of occasions coming up during the summer and I wanted to drop some body fat and tone up so that I’d feel good in my clothes.
Before I started I had been following apps for a while and had stopped seeing any results.
I wasn’t eating enough of the right foods and feeling guilty when I would eat more.
🏆 Wins:
🥘 Eating more, bigger meals during the day meant I wasn’t picking in the evenings.
🏋🏻♂️ Lifting heavier weights, feeling stronger
💪🏼 See more definition around my middle, also my form for ab exercises is way better.
🍲 More organised with food shopping and meal prep.
I feel much more comfortable in my clothes and I was much happier to get into pictures at the wedding instead of being worried if my dress was okay all the time.
I’ve really enjoyed working with Adrian & his team, everything was very straight forward and easy to follow.
Ye were very supportive all along and I felt like ye really listened to me and built me a programme that gave me what I needed when I needed it!”
John Courtney - From Spending his 20's Working 60+ Hour Weeks to Investing in Himself & Feeling his Fittest in his 30's!
“Before starting, my main goal was to look good, and after that I guess feeling good was second, but they come hand in hand.
My biggest problem before starting with Adrian was definitely nutrition knowledge, second to that would have been routine. What was different about Adrian’s service was the level of accountability from the program.
🥇 Achievements:
✅ Strength gains
✅ Weight loss
✅ Mental health improvement
I feel a lot more in control of my life with the confidence gain from the weight loss especially and also with the strength gain it has given me great gym confidence 😀
I am in a better mentally for sure especially evenings or days where I workout I feel so positive and accomplished.
Life is better now, I feel like I am focusing more on the future every day, I can plan ahead of myself and this leads to me being more balanced in my mood because I don't get cure balls of crap meals or crap sleeps, I much more capable in my everyday tasks.
Barry Neville - From Giving up Cigarettes to Hiking Ireland's Highest Mountain & Becoming a Full-time Fitness Fanatic!
"Before starting, I wanted to lose weight and tone up. I wanted to develop consistent diet/training habits.
Previously, I never stuck with any training plan and my diet was healthyish but a bit aimless!
You held me accountable and your feedback on wins or diet issues meant I had direction.
🏆 Achievements:
☑️ Lost almost 10kg, feel fitter
✔️ I’ve built a sustainable diet, I feel healthier and have far more energy
☑️ I’ve improved on workouts week after week, got stronger
✔️ I’ve maintained the diet/training while on holiday, working from home & even while moving house
Life now looks limitless and I've a lifetime of development to go!
Anyone thinking of starting, do it. I would tell them a gym membership won’t hold you accountable, a diet won’t make you stronger and whatever you think is a reason not to do this is just holding you back.
Give yourself the chance you deserve and sign up with Adrian.
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.

2). Much more Flexible & Stronger
3). My food knowledge has totally changed for life
4). 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.
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.”
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.”
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.”
Breda - Shift Worker
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 clothes
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!
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.
Lifes 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!
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 tailored 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!”
Killian - Store Manager
Before starting with Adrian I wanted get back into fitness and drop weight that I had piled on from neglecting my nutrition and exercise.
I'd have always gone to the gym but never had a solid routine and had a couple of go-to exercises that I thought were beneficial but had no effect. Now I have a routine with proper workouts testing parts of my body I never knew were there.
What Adrian provides is full accountability on all workouts, nutrition and flexibility around your workout days. With regular check ins, he's always on hand to steer you back in direction if you've veered away from your goals.
Achievements 🏆
☑️ Lost Weight
✔️ Gained more confidence
☑️ Got back a level of fitness to be able to train for GAA again
✔️ Better portion control and relationship with food
☑️ Better lifestyle choices to be able to maintain the new regime
Now that I've been working with Adrian for over 6 months, I've increased my confidence massively and learned that there's so much more to the gym than bench press!
I'm able to control my portions and nutrition a lot better and I'm back wearing clothes I had pushed aside as "motivation tops".
For anyone thinking about working with Adrian, stop! Stop thinking about it and just do it because you won't look back and without Adrian's help, I wouldn't be where I am now!
Claire - Fitness Instructor
“My goals are the start of this were to tone up and get stronger.
My biggest problem was accountability. I’m a coach and fitness instructor so I know what I should be doing. But there was always an excuse as to why I wasn’t doing it.
Following Adrian’s program through was great. Seeing everything laid out for the week allowed me to plan when to train and slot the sessions in to my own schedule.
Seeing the changes take place in my form and feeling stronger feels like I’m getting closer to my goals.
🏆 Achievements:
☑️ Losing 5kg in weight while still eating all the foods I love.
✔️Seeing strength gains in both my lower and upper body.
☑️ Upper body has always been a weakness for me. So rep gains in full push ups and weight gains in bench press are massive gains for me.
Following a program designed by Adrian specific to your goals is a great way to keep you accountable with both exercise and food.
You can see everything you’ve done to date and everything you need to do 💪🏼”
Paddy - Athlete
“Before starting, I wanted to gain 7-8kg while putting on more muscle.
I lacked consistency, motivation and accountability to help me stay going.
Adrian provided constant accountability and a program fully unique to me and my lifestyle which really helped with staying consistent.
I went from 73-80kg in the space of 12 weeks.
This was one of my main goals so being able to see the progress helped me to stay motivated and keep going.
I’m now a lot more confident in myself and a lot stronger. Feel bigger and I definitely notice myself filling out my clothes better than before.
If you’re thinking about starting and want to make changes, then go for it. Adrian simplifies everything so that it’s as easy as possible to reach your goals.”
Kaya - Chemical Analyst
“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.
Wins 🏆
🥇 Feeling more confident - This summer is the most confident I’ve ever felt, not just for the fact of looking a certain way but just mentally feeling better in myself, from keeping up a good routine and exercising regularly and eating good food with out restricting myself.
🥇 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.
🏅 Looking toned and losing weight - I never really weighed myself before but just going down sizes in clothes and feeling more comfortable in how I look, overall feeling comfortable in myself.
🥇 Keeping up with nutrition without restricting myself - I feel proud for keeping up meal prep each week, and then not feeling guilty about enjoying meals out.
🥇 I feel a lot more positive and just happier in myself and I am excited to set more goals for fitness, I'm a much more confident person.
Anyone thinking of starting, I would say do it, it’s the best decision and investment I’ve made. You will achieve the goals you set out if you keep yourself accountable”
Cullen - Web Developer
“Before starting, I struggled to stay on track with training. I didn’t have a program to follow that suited me. I tried things out before but I didn’t see any results.
The transformation program reduced my stress because it provided me with the structure that I needed and I knew exactly what I had to do.
When I started seeing results, I felt motivated to keep progressing and started to feel more confident in myself. Seeing results and tracking them allowed me to feel a sense of achievement in myself which helped me to stay and track and keep progressing.
I now have a totally different outlook on how to measure success. I realised the scales aren’t every thing. Looking and tracking how many reps I could do on week 10 compared to week 1 was really rewarding. In the last 10 weeks:
.
✅ I lost 21 lbs
✅ My clothes feel much looser
✅ I’m much stronger
✅ I feel much more confident”
Jen - Teacher
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!
John - Mechanic

Life is better now, I feel like I am focusing more on the future every day, I can plan ahead of myself and this leads to me being more balanced in my mood because I don't get cure balls of crap meals or crap sleeps, I much more capable in my everyday tasks.
Anyone thinking of starting, I would say that there isn't any bad thing to come from starting training with you. I even believe that your course pays for itself by food now thrown in the garbage and excess rubbish food now consumed.
I have done the maths and I truly believe this, your training gives back as much as it costs in my opinion.”
Filomena - Support Worker
“Prior to this plan, I was very stressed because I wasn't enjoying the food that I was eating on the previous plan. I was constantly considering abandoning the plan because I love food and began to stress about it, but at the same time I wanted my flat stomach and to be satisfied with my appearance.
Adrian's service is fantastic; you don't even feel like you're on a diet. One of the most important aspects of this plan is that you become aware of the food so that you can combine foods that you enjoy while still losing weight because you choose the right combination.
You can see a significant difference in my progress picture; my stomach is no longer as large as it used to be. I can see it even when I'm wearing my regular clothes; they look better on me. I'm grateful to have discovered Adrin's plan, and I'm overjoyed that what I've been thinking about for years is finally becoming a reality.
12 weeks in, I haven't completely achieved what I want, but I'm content because I know that with patience and perseverance, I will. I am more aware now, and I understand that what I desired was not just a fantasy or a dream, but could be something real.
You will not be disappointed if you choose Adrian; you will get results, you will enjoy the plan, you will love yourself a little more every day, and you will not waste your money.”
Alan - Agri Sales
"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."
Laura - Accountant
On signing up to the program with Adrian my main goal was to become healthier.
I wouldn’t say I was overweight but I didn’t really have a handle on my fitness. I was training aimlessly and wanted to put a structure in place.
I had lacked consistency before chatting with Adrian and this was something I knew I needed in order to see some actual results.
Since joining the program, I have made some really good progress. I feel physically stronger, can see changes in my physique & also have acquired so much knowledge when it comes to nutrition.
Looking back to my diet prior to starting with Adrian, I never would have classed my eating habits/diet as unhealthy but from what I have learned so far, I can see I certainly didn’t have the knowledge of what ‘healthy’ was to me.
I have learned that what might be ‘healthy’ to one person could be very far from what your own nutritional goals are.
The fact friends & family have started noticing changes to my shape/weight has also gave me that added bit of motivation (always nice to get a compliment along the way!!)
I am now nearing the end of my 12 week program but have already signed up continue on the journey.
To anyone who is half thinking about joining up with Adrian, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. I joined when gyms were closed but I still have seen results.
James - Bar Manager
“Before starting, my goal was to build strength in my arms but especially in my back to help stop getting injured.
I also wanted to be the right side of 40 and to be happy with my appearance .
I had no motivation and was eating really unhealthily.
Since starting with Adrian, it was tailored to what I needed and fitted around my schedule.
🥇 Wins:
☑️ Got Stronger
✔️ Clothes Fit Better
☑️ Kept Going When it was Tough
✔️ Learnt to Adapt on the Fly to get my Workouts Done if I got called into Work

Now that I’m finished, I feel more confident and secure that I won’t get injured as easy as I did before.
Anyone thinking of starting, go for it. Adrian will be there every step of the way with you to help wherever he can.”

Colm - Software Engineer
"Before starting I wanted to get leaner & stronger without sacrificing fitness/mobility.
I was bored of my sessions mainly due to a lack of structure and I was inconsistent with my diet.
Adrian was very involved from the start.
The app you use has full visibility over your training progress and meals in MyFitnessPal to help make adjustments and also gives an extra layer of accountability.
He gave lots of tips, diet hacks and mindset principals as well thrown in to help you build them into your own routine.
I’m now much stronger and have built muscle and also lost fat.
I’ve a solid structure for balancing work with strength & endurance training while allowing flexibility to go out on occasions.
I’m having better and more enjoyable training sessions, built good habits and have more energy.
Anyone thinking of starting, go for it. The program is designed to be flexible so it's hard to fail.
If you're looking to up your training a level or start from the start, there's habits/practices you can learn to help make it easy."
Ian - Teacher
Two of my goals were to add muscle mass while also staying relatively lean.
Also, keep up my general fitness for GAA that starts in April.
One of the main reasons I looked for a coach is because I tried managing a gaining phase myself before and I just didn’t have the knowledge behind the nutrition side of things, and wasn’t sure on how much volume I should be lifting.
I decided to choose Adrian & his team because I knew you personally, and could see from your social media accounts that you have got results in the past.
The workouts are very easy to follow on the app, and I enjoyed the different training phases as it kept me focused.
The weekly check ins were good for reflecting on weekly progress and kept me accountable too!
1. I have definitely gotten leaner in the last few weeks, even with eating more and more cals, this is the leanest I have ever been.
2. My hip/groin mobility has definitely improved.
3. My overall strength has increased and I have progressively overloaded the volume lifted in almost all my exercises which I’m very happy with!
It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, so I’m delighted that now I understand the process moving forward!
I’m hoping now to transition from off-season to in-season, and maintain my strength while improving fitness and performance on the pitch.
I would definitely recommend your service to anyone considering it! I’ve found it extremely enjoyable.
The workouts are great; they’re not just your general strength exercises, there’s lots of variance which I really enjoyed as I’m constantly learning and it also kept me focused.
David - Teacher
“Before starting, I wanted to get leaner and stronger
I needed more knowledge on nutrition and calorie and protein intake per day.
There was great encouragement from Adrian all the way through.
Achievements:
Feel the leanest I've ever been
Lighter on my feet on the football pitch
I feel good about myself
I have brilliant new knowledge to carry through into the future
Now that I’m finished up, I’m looking at how I could transfer achieving these fitness goals into other areas of my life.
Anyone thinking of starting, go for it. It’s definitely worthwhile and Adrian is very easy to work with.”
Giliarde - Plumber
“My main goal was to lose weight, know what foods to eat and improve my self-esteem.
Before starting I had little energy, no spirit. My food was horrible. I ate everything that wasn't healthy at the wrong times.
Adrian’s persistence to not lose focus, is fundamental. It’s great to have someone to show you the results & put it on the line when you need it
Every week I always try to improve my menu, so that I can eat healthy and enjoy the food because if you go on a diet with foods you don't like, then you won't be able to reach your goals
And with every week that passed I saw my pounds dropping, it gives me more motivation to keep going.
I feel more motivated to get things done. I know this can never stop, because healthy eating and fitness is the recipe for a lifetime.
Anyone thinking of starting, you have to get it in your head that the change comes from you. and their work helps to value people, giving daily support, demanding results. This stimulates change and helps to win
Ross - Engineer
“When I started coaching with Adrian, 1 -2 goals were to get down to 76kg and look a lot leaner while getting stronger at the same time
I needed someone to hold me Accountable and whip me back in shape when I slack etc.. another one would be how many calories to eat and how to split the macros
Adrian & his team were always on call no matter what time of day.. a lot of other services are a weekly check in and not much more after that
- I got down to 71kg (lost over 10Kg)
- We reached the quarter final in the hurling and semi final of hurling in the next week. 1st time we done well in both codes in a while
- I know a lot more about the gym and am lifting heavier as the weeks pass
Life is good at the moment and I can see the changes to my body which is good
Anyone thinking of starting and working with Adrian, I'd say don't be a fool and go for it.
The only thing you'll regret is weeks down the line saying I should have started training with Adrian.”
Michelle - Nurse
“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!”
Kieran - Guard
Before we started working together I:
- Was unable to shift bodyfat
- Build Muscle
- Had poor knowledge of food and what I was eating
- Done the same workout over and over again seeing no results
- Lacked motivation
You provided me with good food tips which gave me the tools to make healthy choices and meals to this day.
You gave me motivation and workouts were changed up every couple of weeks
- I’ve lost 6kg in over 6 weeks
- Dropped body fat
- Built muscle
- Performance on the pitch improved
I have been working with Adrian for almost 3 years now.
For anybody even half thinking of signing up to a programme with Adrian, all I can say is just do it and you won't regret it.
I wish I done it sooner!
Adrian provides such a professional service and you won't go wrong.
