GYM AND PERSONAL TRAINING IN GLENAMADDY

About MDG FITNESS

MDG Fitness, founded in January 2024, operates within the new Glenamaddy GAA facility, made possible by PJ Fahy, the Fahy family, and RRDF grant. The vision and commitment by all those involved in the project have given Glenamaddy a modern, multi-purpose facility designed to support physical activity, sport, health, and long-term community development.

We're proud to carry forward a shared vision for wellbeing, activity, accessibility, and community connection.

My passion is simple: Help people move better, feel better, and live healthier through practical, enjoyable training.

My Background

My coaching journey began in 2021, when I completed a Personal Training and Fitness Instruction course as I began to explore my interest in the fitness industry. In January 2024, starting as a part-time interest alongside secondary school teaching, where I began working with online and in person clients, helping people build better structure, healthier habits, and long-term consistency with their training and lifestyle.

Over the years, my work expanded into:

Underage GAA strength and conditioning
Group resistance training classes
Online coaching & programming
Weight loss transformations

Since qualifying as a PT in 2021, I have completed my Strength and Conditioning (S&C) qualification, and I am currently completing my Higher Certificate in S&C and Level 8 BSc Degree in S&C.

How the New Glenamaddy GAA Facility Expanded MDG Fitness

We are extremely grateful for the opportunity that the new Glenamaddy GAA facility has provided for MDG Fitness. This development has allowed us to grow from a small, part-time coaching service into a fully established community health and fitness initiative. The scale, quality, and design of the new complex make it possible to deliver a wider range of programmes, reach more people, and offer a professional training environment that supports the entire community.

The new facility has enabled MDG Fitness to:

Deliver structured programmes for all ages and abilities
Provide accessible training options for beginners through to athletes
Offer group coaching, fitness classes, personal training, and lifestyle support
Create long-term participation, wellbeing, and healthy routines within the local area

This facility has transformed MDG Fitness into a full-time community health and fitness initiative — built on inclusivity, accessibility, and a commitment to helping people lead healthier, more active, more connected lives.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is built around the individual: their goals, their experience, and their lifestyle. Training should fit into life, not take over life.

I aim to make fitness personal, sustainable, enjoyable, confidence-building, and technique-focused, supported with real accountability. And above all, I bring energy, positivity, and a get-it-done atmosphere to every session.

MDG Fitness exists to make the most of the exceptional facility our community has been given. We are here to promote activity, support healthy living, and create a positive fitness environment for every age and ability.

MDG Fitness exists to make the most of that opportunity. To help people MOVE. DEVELOP, and GROW together.

Why Community Matters

Community matters because we have been given something extraordinary. The Fahy family and RRDF grant have given Glenamaddy a facility that will serve generations.

Community builds connection, friendship, motivation, wellbeing, and local pride. MDG Fitness is here to support that connection and contribute to the long-term health of our area.
