” In seven months, I lost 30Kgs. Regarding the diet, beforehand, I was not eating in an informed manner and the meal plan actually meant I would be eating considerably more, but of the right foods to keep my diet balanced and varied. Once these adjustments were made, the weight began to disappear at a steady and sustainable rate. Beforehand I was struggling with energy, often falling asleep on the couch and not being in a good mood. The change in diet has also led to a drastic increase in my energy levels, along with my mood and confidence improving significantly. “

“I have been training with John for over a year now and as someone who suffers with chronic illness and bilateral hip dysplasia, I was apprehensive about starting with a personal trainer however, John’s knowledge, expertise, attitude to injury and ability to promptly change a session to suit my needs has been fantastic. I have gone from not being able to walk without pain to smashing personal bests through John’s guidance and strength and conditioning program. I would highly recommend John especially for someone trying to overcome illness or injury in a safe environment with some light-hearted banter”.

“ Training under John at J.M.C Elite has been a great experience. When I started out originally, I wasn’t aware of how many areas strength and conditioning actually covered, but its safe to say working with John has improved both my knowledge of strength and conditioning and most importantly my ability on and off the field for my specific sport which is Gaelic football. At the start of my journey, I would have been unsure of certain exercises and how to perform them, but with the help of John, I can safely say we have covered a broad range of exercises in depth and tailored them for what suits my body best. “

“ I have been training with John now for over a year and his knowledge and professionalism is second to none. All training is tailored to each individual, and he really listens to his clients and what they feel are the goals they want to achieve. I couldn’t recommend him enough ”

“ I was really nervous about approaching a personal trainer and joining a gym as my gym knowledge was very poor I did not even know what a dumbbell was. I have spent many years trying out different gyms and classes, getting mixed results and getting frustrated at lack of progress, motivation or not being able to do the exercises I was given which made me give up even more but John knows his stuff! When I joined and told him I did not know what this was, or I couldn’t do that the first thing he done was screen me and straight away I had answers to why I could not do certain things due to weakness areas or injuries and we built on these until I was able to start a training program. ” 

“ Training with John gave me the confidence in performing different exercises in the proper form and range. His facility has everything you need to excel in every way possible. The equipment used through our sessions is top class and he never fails to disappoint. Johns Knowledge on strength and conditioning is top notch and his advice on the tailored programmes given by himself are excellent. The programmes really do make a difference in your abilities across the board in GAA and other sports. From start to finish John will make you a better player and ultimately a better version of yourself ”

“I first got to know John through college in LIT where we both studied BSc in Sports Strength and Conditioning. In 2019 I accepted the role of Juvenile Athletic Development Coach with Gort GAA. Once I accepted the offer, I contacted John to try get his expertise on board as part of the program. Thankfully, John was willing to commit to this for the full season and his attention to detail, quality of coaching, delivery of program and interaction with both the athletes and management was of the highest standard. His ability to put the science into practice and individualise a program across the various age groups was excellent. 

“ John was a student in Limerick Institute of Technology studying Sports Strength & Conditioning for four years, graduating in 2020. John was an excellent student; his wide range of knowledge of all things S&C and coaching was clear from the beginning. John always showed a big interest in learning and becoming a better coach ”

” In August of 2017, 9 months after my operation, I was cleared fit to return to play by the Santry Sports Clinic having passed strength and mobility tests. I returned to full sporting activities 12 months post operation over and am feeling better than ever. Towards the end of my rehabilitation, I decided to continue on with the sessions with John in an aim to improve my overall fitness. Definitely without John’s help I would not have been able to return to play sport in the time frame I did and the in condition I was in! ”
