We don't normally post this type of before and after pic but I had to make an exception to illustrate the unbelievable transformation of Dave Finn. Here's a summary of Dave's journey in his own words:"About 18 months ago I was 125kgs, I was in a very dark place in my life. I knew I had to change, so I responded to an Ad I saw on Facebook for Fitz Fitness. John was absolutely fantastic in breaking down the program and he promised me life changing results. He is a man of his word . Getting back into exercise was very challenging, but I knew I’d long road ahead, so i took it week by week, month by month, I put in the effort and started seeing results, every month I was pushing myself more and more, as the motivation kept going up each week, I fell in love with training and Fitness again, set myself bigger goals each month & stayed focused on each goal to try and hit them. The nutrition coaching provided by Fitz Fitness was an absolute game changer. One evening when I was struggling, John said he was making me a special 'project', again he wasn't lying.Roll on 18 months, I'm down 35kgs and I'm not finished yet. Not only did Fitz Fitness help me to change my physical health but the gym has literally changed my life. Today I'm the gym manager and coaching others on their fitness journeys. John hired me well before I lost all this weight, he encouraged me to qualify as a PT and put me coaching as soon as I was qualified. I doubted myself because I thought that I didn't look like the stereotypical personal trainer but the self belief that John instilled in me explains why he is a great coach and now I can call him a great friend. I absolutely love what I do now and seeing other people’s success stories now drives me on to keep hitting my own personal goals each week. If you're on the fence about joining Fitz Fitness, please just go for it, you won't regret it (I'll also get commission if you join ).
'I joined FitzFitness in July of 2020 and it was the best decision of my life. I started off with two really dodgy knees and arthritis in my hands, both of which now are a thing of the past. I lost 8kgs during the transformation course and then signed up for the year with strength and conditioning and have so far lost 23kgs, which is a 22% loss in body mass.
John, Trish and the gang are a world apart from so called "gyms" I joined before. FitzFitness is about changing bad habits, understanding bad habits, maintaining good habits and then it’s not a habit anymore, while getting stronger and healthier along the way.
Everything I learned about nutrition with FitzFitness, has been a game changer for me. I now don’t think about the next meal or even feel hungry 95% of the time as I have satiety and that just amazes me and its all down to the amazing trainers.
I can’t recommend FitzFitness highly enough, you will not only get fit, feel better but you will understand the whole process as John, Trish and the gang are not only the best trainers around but also the best damn teachers in nutrition. I now train because I enjoy it so much and also because John, Trish and the gang make it so enjoyable on a personal level.
I’m nearly 50 but now feel 30 years younger and that’s all down to FitzFitness, again can’t recommend them highly enough.'

"I joined FitzFitness in August of 2020.
I was stuck in a rut, doing nothing but a bit of walking and not eating correctly. My food habits were, to say the least, unhealthy. I had a BMI of 30.4 and was classed as obese. My energy levels were very low and it took a lot out of me to do anything any bit exertive. To run up the stairs was a no no as I had no energy for it. On occasion I did run up the stairs and was horrified by all the bits that wobbled! Also, my wardrobe was shrinking as nothing fitted.
In mid August I took the plunge and joined Fitz Fitness. I joined the 12 week transformation course. I spoke to John and he assured me that all would be ok, to start at my own speed and go from there. I got loads of advice about nutrition and meal plans to help me out. I started 3 strength and conditioning classes a week in the gym. I also did some HIIT classes.
Then COVID hit, again. Not a problem for Fitz Fitness as they had all their classes on line. If I missed a class I could go on line to the recording and do it in my own time. John and Trish encouraged me all the way and still do. The classes are blood pumping but I have improved greatly. I have dropped nearly 17 kg and my BMI is at 24.6 which is a healthy weight for me. I have toned all over and have muscles where there was once none. More importantly, my clothes are fitting!!!
I could not have done this without the help, support and experience of John and his team. I do really enjoy doing the classes as the banter with the other members is mighty. I would wholeheartedly recommend Fitz Fitness to get your life back on track.“
'"Having worked from home for 7 months, my best friend was the fridge! One morning while working from home and feeling sorry for myself I heard the half 9:30 class from my apartment and Trish giving it socks up in the gym. Within an hour I booked in a call with John, joined Fitz Fitness in September of 2020 and haven’t looked back since!
Fitz Fitness has been the only thing that got me through Covid LOCKDOWNS! The online classes helped me maintain my weight loss and keep the happy endorphins high. John is always there if you have any issues or just need a chat. The food plans are simplistic and show you that you don't need to starve to loose weight.
I am usually exceptionally self conscious in the gym I worry about my arms do they look too flabby, can people see my tummy roles in this top etc. but John and Trish have created the nicest and most accepting environment I’ve never experienced it in a gym before (and I’ve been a member of loads of gyms!!!) ... it also helps that the classes are unreal and the trainers are lovely.
What is most important to me is that Fitz Fitness has given me my confidence and fun back. They have helped me turned my life around ! I not only lost 2 stone but inside I am like a new person
Thanks John, Trish & Team! I can’t thank ye enough!"

"I joined up about a year ago, the same week that I retired. I was 19 stone 8 pounds at the time and a lot of ordinary, everyday tasks had become a bit of a sWhen a person reaches that point, it becomes very easy to succomb completely, become progressively more lethargic and eat more and more.
Fortunately, I answered the Fitz Fitness ad looking for men in Ballincollig who wanted to change their lives.
I began to attend the strength and conditioning classes (in my 4XL tee shirts) and to follow the dietary advice.
I cannot think of one complaint, the people are excellent, the program works and there's always some bit of banter and carry on.
I remained on after the initial 12 weeks and by December I was down to 15 stone.
I am maintaining 15 stone and am lately enjoying the fit camps in the GAA club.
I did not do any of the virtual stuff during the lock down....... probably because I'm a bit of an old codger but John gave me a couple of strength and conditioning programs that I was able to do at home and I DID DO THEM.
I am at the stage now where Fitz Fitness has become an integral part of my week and I am glad it is because things seem a lot easier when you're fit plus I don't have to shop in those shops for "The larger gentleman"! ".
Doing the FITz FITNESS 12 WEEK TRANSFORMATION has without doubt being on the greatest decisions I have made. I am so grateful to all of the incredible coaches and I will remain a member for the foreseeable future.”
'The picture on the left was taken 2 months prior to Ken O'Donovan joining our Transformation program.
Ken was after a rough few months personally and he knew it was time for change.
We actually didn't get off to the perfect start. Five weeks in, Ken phoned me as he was concerned about his progress, he only lost a pound in 4 weeks. I assured him that this was normal and explained that it was crucial to remain patient and more importantly, CONSISTENT. We were focused on one thing (no snacking) and Ken thought it was all a bit too simple.
But Boom, the following week he was down 5 pounds and 12 weeks later he was down 20 pounds. Ken then set the goal of being down 50 pounds before his 50th Birthday a few months later (despite being in lockdown) .. . .. And of course he absolutely smashed it 👊
What I'm most impressed with is that he has maintained that weightloss for well over a year. He can now run 10km in 54 mins, Deadlift over 100kg and as you can see from the pic on the right, he is in phenomenal shape 💪.
Since joining, Ken has never missed a scheduled session be it in gym or online. The secret to his success is NOT detox diets, magic pills, crazy insane workouts.... It's doing the simple things right Consistently 💯.
I'm sure we can all agree that Ken is an absolute inspiration. 🙌.
We start all clients on an initial challenge to get the ball rolling but once momentum is created we think long term 🎯⏰.
For those of you who think 'that you are too out of shape for the gym', I hope this man's story encourages you to think differently. I can still remember Alan's first session. He really struggled and to be honest I was worried that he wouldn't continue. But not only did Alan show up the next day, but he showed the day after and the day after that. Alan's consistency with training and nutrition is incredible and as a result, 10 months on from his first session, he is one of the strongest and fittest members in the gym. He has lost an astounding 27kg (60 pounds) so far and as far I'm concerned we are still in the early stages of his journey. I hope his results can inspire anyone in a similar position to finally take action. Here's what Alan has to say about his experience so far: "I joined FitzFitness in August 2022 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I have been working at home mostly since the Covid19 pandemic started so I didn’t move much all day and gained a lot of weight. However since joining FF, Gym sessions are now the highlight of my workday allowing me to blow off steam after a long day in the home office. In the 10 months I’ve been a member of Fitz Fitness I have dropped from 154 kg to 127KG, it has done wonders for my mental health and not being physically drained by simple everyday activities has been amazing. I highly recommend FitzFitness, coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable and the gym itself has a very welcoming atmosphere."
Our Gym is situated at FITz Fitness Health & Fitness Club, 19 Sullane House, Great Island Enterprise Park, P41 HE65
We bring the best of Strength Training and Conditioning into a Powerful Training program that will revolutionise how you look, how you feel and you’ll see your strength sky rocket.
We love strength training at FITz FITNESS. You can set performance goals and it's easy to track your progress. A nice little consequence of getting stronger from week to week is that you will loose bodyfat and gain muscle, so long as your nutrition is in check. It's for these reasons that we preach the gospel of strength training. It takes away the obsession with the scales and instead your body shape will change, your clothes will fit better and you will drastically improve the quality of your life in the future by getting stronger now.
The program is essentially Personal Training but in a small group. Don't get me wrong personal training can motivate people to get results. But for others, their enthusiasm fizzles out. In small group training, you receive the same attention as you would in a one-to-one session. But you’re in a fun group setting, which spurs you on.
The benefits of small group training include:
If your new to Strength Training or not confident about your current fitness levels, being in a group of like minded people can provide amazing support. Whether your goal is to lose body fat or run a half-marathon, small group training can provide the support and drive to get you there.
Absolutely because there is no “Keeping Up” here. We cater for all fitness abilities and you simply go at your pace.
We don't as we can’t sell you the results you desire if we don’t know when you’re going to turn up. Therefore we believe offering PAYG is actually doing you a dis-service.
We do but in the FITz FITNESS way as we don't believe you experience what we offer in a one-off session. Our Trial is called the:
‘Love it Or Leave It’ Guarantee.
How it works:
1) You register for our one of Programs.
2) You get “Access To All Areas” just like a fully fledge member; Attend Sessions Outdoors, Access to nutrition app you'll be invited in to all Membership Groups, plus receive all the Coaching and Support from our Specialist trainers.
This will give you a far better idea of what we do because it’s way more than just an exercise class. Then, if you then find anytime during the 2 weeks it’s not for you - no problem - we’ll refund your investment.
No Questions. We take all the risk.
We strongly believe in a long-term solution and creating a lifestyle change. Our aim is to help you flip that short term, quick fix Mindset, to one that is more focused on the long term and a forever solution. You can transform your entire body and mind without even realising it by focusing on the process, your daily and weekly actions, rather than solely on the outcome.
After the initial program, there are a couple of options to continue as a FITz FITNESS Elite member. These will be discussed in 2 weeks prior to the end of the program when you’ll have your Progress Call with one of our specialist coaches.
Our Mission…
“To be the Best Part of your Day, Each and Everyday And Create Long Lasting Change to your Life” We want to have the opportunity to work with you long term, and help you create long term transformation. For us it’s not just about seeing you lose a few lbs, it’s about helping you see yourself as the transformation you want to become and then deciding NEVER to go back to how you used to be.
