ABOUT

PKV Personal Training Gym is a privately owned, privately operated Personal Training facility. Personal Training sessions are one to one - just you and your trainer, which means you are the whole focus with all the equipment at our disposal at all times. Your own business is kept private & there are no external distractions. Your workouts are built around you and your physical and health goals. Because this is a personalised service & there are limited working hours a day, I only take on a maximum of 18 Private or Semi-Private clients at any one time, plus a maximum of 8 online clients at any one time so that I can provide the best service for each individual (There are 20 client pages because there can be an overlap where some clients are finishing up & new clients are signing up to start). PKV Personal Training will not ask you for images to share online, the only progress or before & afters anybody might see of clients are ones they chose to share themselves. Client privacy is of great importance & is treated with great care & respect.

Your Trainer

I have always had an interest in the human body and how we have the power to shape and create what we like from 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 20 years of personal experience and over 10 years in the fitness industry.

As a result of battling with my own health at a young age, I started learning about nutrition in depth at the age of 12 and 13. I later started my own fitness journey when I began training 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 & have continued to push myself so that each time I come out better. I do all I can to take care of my body & give my best at all times.

Through exercise 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 plays a fundamental part in both. If you’re not moving, your body & mind will struggle.

I've trained clients from all backgrounds and walks of life, from hairdressers, students, construction workers, accountants, college lecturers, sales reps and retirees, to army personnel, firefighters, rugby and tennis players, swimmers and GAA players, yoga instructors, other personal trainers, competitive bodybuilding and bikini competitors. I’ve also worked with clients with or after major health battles including cancer, IBD & respiratory diseases, after knee replacements, spinal, neck & heart surgeries. I work with clients, male and female from 18 to 70+ years old with all levels of fitness and abilities and a range of goals. My clients goals and needs are my focus whether it's fat loss, muscle gain, improved sports performance, increased fitness levels, posture correction, muscular strength rehabilitation, disease management, mental wellbeing or anything in between. To ensure I can provide the best service possible, I only take on a maximum of eighteen clients at any one time.

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 your health fail, have your body fail and I practice what I preach, doing my best to live well. I really want to be able to help people and allow them to live and feel better though movement, through exercise. I want to help improve the physical health of others and by extension improve their mental health. 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 the number one priority.

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