Rebecca

FIT30 Client

I can’t recommend AR fitness classes highly enough. The classes are different each time and there are modifications to suit every fitness level. My favourite aspect is that the class I attend is 30 minutes so I can have this completed before I start work. Alan has created a fun and inclusive environment so along with getting fitter, it is a great opportunity to meet new people. I have seen great results in the couple of months that I have been training with Alan and look forward to continuing my membership.

Una

Older Adults Fitness Client

I’ve returned to exercise after some injuries and lockdown after discovering Alan’s classes for older adults. To say I am delighted I found these classes is an understatement. Alan takes our abilities and limitations into account and the classes are friendly and supportive. Because the classes are small Alan can help with technique to get the best out of the exercise programme. He has introduced us to boxing which is great fun. Alan is very encouraging and I can highly recommend him as a fitness coach.

FIT30 Client

A friend introduced me to Alan’s class last Spring & I’m very happy that she did. It is a 30 minute high intensity, fun-filled, exercise class that always gets the endorphins flowing! Alan always greets you with a friendly smile and is a great motivator. While always encouraging you to do your best, he ensures that you always listen to your body and go at your own pace. The routines are never boring, always challenging, and offer a wide variety of exercises. The great thing is that the routines are only thirty minutes long so don’t take up a huge chunk of your day. I would highly recommend this class.

AR Fitness Coach is excellent. Since starting with Alan, My fitness level has increased tenfold. I find him brilliant, he has a welcoming environment and he is really helpful the whole time we are doing classes. Its a small group of people so it’s not intimidating. Each of us work at our own individual pace. The class flies by and I highly recommend Alan as a fitness coach. 

Julie Ann

Semi-Private PT Clients

Started PT sessions with Alan in January, as we wanted to get in better shape for our wedding. We found him very approachable and knowledgeable. The facilities in the Arus in Salthill are fantastic with lots of space and great equipment. Alan adapts sessions to exercises we like and enjoy doing, each session is different which keeps things interesting. He is a fantastic motivator with a really positive attitude, the 50-minute sessions just fly by! It’s great seeing progression each week as we work towards goals, we set out with him. Alan has made going to the gym enjoyable, and we’re both happy to say we don’t dread the gym anymore. We’ve already recommended him to our friends!

Personal Training Client

My son (Enaitz) uses AR Fitness Coach, he is always delighted to go to the workouts. Since he joined he has seen improvements week after week. The coach, Alan, tailors the sessions according to my son’s needs and age, he also provides me with a summary of the session workouts, which is reassuring. I find Alan to be really approachable. He is happy to work with my son in any areas needed. I highly recommend giving AR Fitness Coach a go.

I cannot recommend AR Fitness enough.Alan’s classes are so enjoyable and are tailored to everyone’s abilities. Great classes and always something different. 

Mary

FIT30 Client

I started taking classes with Alan just before Christmas twice weekly on a Monday and Wednesday evening. From week to week my fitness and energy levels have improved. I always feel energised and in great form after the classes. Alan is so friendly, approachable, patient and encouraging and always on hand to help you.
I would highly recommend Alan as a fitness instructor and he has created a gym with such a great atmosphere.
As someone who had no experience with weights or gym equipment Alan has made the experience enjoyable. I am now able to climb any hill or mountain without being breathless! I am so delighted that I took the plunge to join Alan’s classes – highly recommended. 

Aisling

FIT30 Client

Alan’s classes are inclusive and welcoming. He really makes sure you are working at a pace you feel comfortable at. It’s the only fitness class where I have really felt comfortable being myself. I actually really enjoy the classes and am excited about the progress I am making. I really admire the environment Alan creates in his classes! 

Hazel

FIT30 Client

Alan’s classes are great, I would highly recommend them. Alan has a lovely encouraging style that gets the best out of everyone without doing the stereotypical shouty trainer thing! It’s a good workout in 30 minutes with no wasted time faffing about! I also love that he varies the workouts all the time so it doesn’t get boring. There is a lovely friendly vibe in class which is down to Alan making everyone feel comfortable. 

Martha

Personal Training Client

I started strength building training with Alan just over two months ago. I really enjoy Alan’s approach to working with me. He gets the balance of being supportive and getting you to your limits just right. I have noticed the positive changes this work has had on my body- I’m feeling much stronger already. And also my mind- I always leave feeling great. Alan is also working with my 15 year old son who loves training with him. I can’t recommend Alan as a PT enough. 

Chloe

Personal Training Client

I did PT sessions with Alan for 13 weeks before moving to Dubai and I could not fault the whole experience. Alan was so professional, informative and had great patience! Even though each session was tough (to my ability) it was also very enjoyable, Alan is always up for having a laugh! I would recommend joining Alan no matter what your fitness level, you will feel comfortable and at ease in his company.

Lisa

FIT30 Client

I’ve always wanted to improve my fitness but found it difficult to get a class that suited me. I tended to get overwhelmed and would give up after only a couple of weeks. But Alan’s class has been completely different.

For the first time I find myself actually looking forward to the classes and I feel a real sense of achievement after. Something that really helped me is that Alan gives modifications to each exercise, so I could start from my pretty unfit level and build up at my own pace. Alan is passionate about fitness and wellbeing, and you feel that in the classes.

He’s motivational and encouraging and creates a great atmosphere that’s friendly, fun and non-judgemental. Even though it’s a group class Alan focuses on the individual too, helping you feel like you can achieve your personal best in every class.

I just can’t recommend Alan highly enough as a trainer. I’m delighted I found his classes. I honestly can’t believe the improvements I’ve felt in my fitness and energy levels in only a few months. And being able to feel these improvements has also been a great boost to my mental wellbeing. I would recommend Alan’s classes to everyone; you won’t be disappointed! 

Keith

FIT30 Client

Alan has helped me achieve my goals so far. My overall strength and fitness have improved dramatically. The sessions are great as he makes it fun and enjoyable to train and he is very motivating and encouraging!

Each class is thirty minutes long and the exercises differ meaning that its quick, effective and you go at an intensity to suit you.

If motivation, flexibility, and a personal approach is what you’re looking for in a trainer, then Alan is the trainer for you. 

Karen

FIT30 Client

Alan’s classes are brilliant! Lovely friendly environment to workout and make some new friends too.

P.s the boxing is fantastic 🥊🥊 

Louise

Personalised Gym Programme Client

I have completed 9 months on Alan’s personal fitness programme and it has been the best thing I have done for my physical and mental fitness in years. I like lots of other health care workers who work long hours and find prioritising time for your physical wellbeing a challenge. I was also one of those people who felt the gym was inaccessible to me because I didn’t know what to do. However, doing the programme with Alan has changed my approach to exercise and in an easy accessible way helped me make it a priority.

He worked the plan around my work schedule which made it so much easier. And on weeks where I got nothing done, his understanding and supportive approach always got me back on track with helpful solutions and never criticism.

I now enjoy doing exercise and make it a priority as it has done wonders for not only my physical but also my mental wellbeing. In short I would recommend Alan’s programme to everyone. 

Maire

FIT30 Client

Alan engages everyone in fun, effective exercise while creating a friendly, no judgement, connected group feeling. Flexible plans available to suit everyone.

Margaret

FIT30 Client

I am a reluctant exerciser, but I really enjoy sessions with Alan. After lockdown, my fitness was at an all-time low, as was my motivation. I was delighted to spot Alan’s ad for outdoor classes as I had trained with him in the past. Alan is so encouraging, helpful and welcoming and is a great motivator. Sessions are tough but manageable and we always have a laugh. And that post- workout feeling is fantastic! My only regret is that I didn’t take the plunge sooner. My fitness levels are improving and I’m sleeping much better. I look forward to the sessions – even thunder and lightning didn’t stop me! Give Alan a shout- you won’t regret it 👍🏻

Ruth

FIT30 Client

The varieties of exercises are excellent and Alan takes your abilities and limitations into account and provides you with techniques that will enable you to get the best out of the workout. Alan is so supportive and encouraging; going to Alan’s AR Fitness class is a pleasure and would definitely give Alan a 5 Star review. 💫

Corporate Fitness Classes Client

I cannot recommend Alan from AR Fitness Coach more!

I reached out to Alan recently given the second lockdown – our team in Berkley Group wanted to keep fit, motivated and have a group activity to help with our mental and physical wellbeing. Alan was very responsive, he was flexible to work around our schedule as an office so we could fit as many into our 30 minute zoom slot as possible.

Alan’s energy is infectious – he is an excellent instructor, takes the time to ensure we’re all doing as we should via video, introducing each exercise in detail before getting started. He encourages throughout the session, so if you feel like giving up there is some positive reinforcement constantly coming your way. The sessions are short, yet extremely effective – great to get a sweat on at lunch time.

Our team enjoyed the session so much that we have signed up for four in total, getting us to the end of lockdown 2.0!
Thanks Alan for your excellent sessions – it’s giving our team something to look forward to each week.
