Get Fit Without Missing Family Moments

How about this for a Transformation 😮

@mac_gabhann dropped 8kg (17 pounds) in 12 weeks. It’s hard to believe, but Paul is hitting 50 next month, and his goal was to get into shape before his birthday. I think we can all agree he has achieved his goal and then some 💯.

He also wanted to get back playing hockey after a recent injury, and I’m happy to report that he is back in pre-season training pain-free and feeling strong.

Paul couldn’t get over the simplicity of my nutrition coaching as he is one of those people who has followed diets where ‘carrots’ were forbidden, CARROTS 🙈.

Paul does shift work hours and has 2 boys under 5, so the training program had to be practical and efficient. We went for 3 x 45 min total body workouts per week, and Pauls consistency was outstanding. He was a dream to coach as he literally ticked every box I asked him to tick on a daily basis ✅️

The goal has now switched to sports performance (music to my ears ☺️) and I’m excited to see how the hockey season plays out.

Thankyou Paul for allowing me to share your results. You should be extremely proud of yourself 👏

Meet Denny O’Dea, a father of two who was struggling to regain his fitness. With John Fitz Coaching, he found the support, guidance, and plan he needed to get back on track. Here’s what Denny had to say:

Q: Why did you give the John Fitz Coaching service this many stars? What did you achieve?
“Because of his knowledge and support no matter the time he was on the end of the phone. He supplied me with all the knowledge to help change my life and get my fitness levels up and drop weight. I lost 10 pounds and lost inches off my waist and belly.”

Q: What did you like most about the John Fitz Coaching service?
“The gym sessions John set up for me was like he was inside my head and he knew what worked for me and it was just amazing how much I changed without even noticing I was doing it at first.”

Q: Is there anything you would change about the John Fitz Coaching service?
“Don’t change one bit, keep doing what you’re doing. John is amazing, and he will change your life with the way you think and do your fitness classes. He makes it realistic and easy to understand how to change your life for the better. Amazing, just amazing.”

Transformation happens from the inside out, and Paddy’s journey is proof of that. Here’s Paddy’s story in his own words:

“My name is Paddy, I am Dad of three aged 2, 4 and 6 years respectively. I own and run my own SME so you can imagine both home life and work life is hectic. I reached out to John 12 weeks ago now as i needed help. I was stressed for all of life’s pressures, suffering from anxiety and low mood as a result, I was barely keeping everything a float. This coupled with the fact I was my heaviest ever at 17 stone 7 pounds meant I was a ticking time bomb for a heart attack. I picked up the phone to John whom I knew socially a few years back. The truth is I was so low, I didn’t have the self confidence to go into shop for a pint of milk let alone a gym. I knew the minute he answered the phone with a big cheeky  

” Hello” I’d made the right choice. He made me feel listened to and supported instantly. He took a few details and devised a program for me. I didn’t have a huge amount of weights at home so i got a few kettlebells and we went from there. He integrated his approach into my daily life through the fitzcoach app. I’m not very tech savvy but it’s simple out…he monitored my weight, my measurements and my diet. His approach is extremely simple and easy to follow. He also understands that the program has to fit around your life. He understands there are days when there just isn’t enough hours in the day.. which is ok. John is like a good hurling centre back he knows when to hold and when to go. He knows when it’s time to let things slide and when to give you a kick in the arse. He is just out on his own. Twelve weeks on I’ve lost 25 pounds, I am back running and fitting into clothes i haven’t fitted into in years. More importantly I am managing my stress and diet. I can safely say that thanks to John’s help, my mindset has changed for the better for good” 

I’m incredibly proud of Paddy and I hope his courage to take that first step can inspire others to do the same 💯

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 Instagram for John Fitz Coaching. 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 John was an absolute game changer. Roll on 18 months, I’m down 35kgs and I’m not finished yet.

Eddie’s journey is a testament to courage and vulnerability. At the start, he showed incredible honesty in reaching out for help—a huge step in itself. Over the last 12 weeks, he’s achieved an amazing 15kg weight loss (2.3 stone in old money) while making massive improvements to his mental health.

Eddie has worked hard and fully committed to the program, making steady progress every step of the way. This photo captures him jumping, which feels fitting as he’s just getting started on this journey and already making strides.

Here’s what Eddie had to say about his experience:

“Over 12 weeks, I’ve lost 12.5kg and gained so much more than just fitness. This program transformed not only my body but my mental health, giving me the structure, discipline, and support I desperately needed. From struggling with weight gain and poor health to feeling calmer, more organized, and healthier overall, this journey has been life-changing. If you’re considering joining, trust the process and commit fully—you won’t regret it.”
