Your Trainer

I have always had an interest in the human body and how we have the power to shape and create new things with it. I have transformed my own body as well as my clients and have built a wealth of knowledge in the world of health and fitness with many years of studying, gathering several globally recognised qualifications. With over 24 years of personal experience and over 13 years experience in the fitness industry and working as a personal trainer.

As a result of battling with my health at a young age, I started learning about nutrition in depth at the age of 12. I began my own fitness journey at a local gym at the age of 16 and the gym has been a large part of my life since. Over the years since, I’ve battled many more health problems and have continued to push myself to come out better. I do all I can to take care of my body, my health and I work to help others take better care of theirs too.

Through exercise, through movement and good nutrition, it is my goal to educate and encourage people to embrace health and fitness as a way of living, to keep the body performing well at all stages in life and maintain good physical and mental health. We know that physical exercise is fundamental for both, if you’re moving your body, both body & mind do better.

I work with a diverse range of clients, from students and retirees to high level athletes, sports professionals (GAA, swimming, tennis etc) and bodybuilding competitors, aged 18 to 70+, with varying fitness levels and goals. These include fat loss, muscle gain, sports performance, rehab, disease management, and mental wellbeing. I also support clients recovering from serious health conditions and surgeries including c-sections, cancer, MS, parkinsons and spinal surgery. To ensure high-quality service, I limit my client roster to a maximum of eighteen at a time so that I may provide the best service I can to all of the individuals I work with.

Personal Note from PKV;
I have lived most of my life battling a lifelong illness, with long periods in hospitals. Living with a chronic illness has largely shaped who I am and what I do. I know what it’s like to have my health and body fail and I practice what I preach, doing my best to live well. I work to help people first and foremost. I work to allow them to live and feel better though movement, through exercise. I work to improve the physical health of others and by extension improve mental health and wellbeing. Making it accessible is also a priority which is why my Personal Training services are competitively priced compared with many other dedicated private training facilities in Dublin and the surrounding areas. Heath is always number one priority.

I hope you’ll come join me and see what this small gym can do for you.
