Bernards Ion health and fitness studios

Fantastic experience: My son jack has been train with Bernard going on 6 years now and I have seen him grow so much especially this past year his confidence in his ability amazing. I myself took up Bernard's fitness classes about 4 years ago and then personal training last year and it was the best decision. Week after week he pushes you to get the best out of your work out. And gives great tips and advice for home. Bith myself and jack have always felt suppored and encouraged even when we werent iverly confident ourselves. Very well run extremely confident and knowledgeable in his field.

Fantastic experience: I went to Bernard for 6 weeks personal training and currently on another 6 weeks. Bernard is a fantastic personal trainer/fitness provider and has really listened to all my goals and has already achieved most of them and continues to push me to my limit each session and achieve all my goals. My main aim was to build up more core strength as I always try to avoid it and to build up more confidence to go to the gym by myself and use the weights section more. He certainly did that and is continuing to make me stronger and more confident overall! Bernards knowledge and experience in the industry is very evident when training with him and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He loves what he does and it really shows in each class and personal training session I have gone too.

Fantastic experience: Training with Ion Fitness has been a game changer. I engaged with Bernard during lockdown and availed of the 12-week online nutrition and fitness package. The ability to train remotely suited me perfectly and all aspects were world class. The fitness programme: Bernard was a positive, encouraging presence throughout. A highly knowledgeable trainer, he integrated a unique component which I found extremely valuable – an understanding of the mental foundations behind health. For me, this made the experience almost therapeutic, as well as highly educational. The nutrition plan: supplemented by guidance from a professional chef & nutritionist, the food on my bespoke programme was delicious, filling, and affordable (my food bill went down on this plan!). Most importantly, it was clearly nourishing – even during weight loss phases I was always full of energy. Everything was tailored to my medical history, the demands of my working schedule, and my own aspirations. As a result, I’ve reclaimed my health, added years to my life, as well as improving my outlook and sense of overall happiness. Thank you Bernard Brady & Ion Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Bernard/ION Fitness back in January 2020 for strength/conditioning and injury prevention alongside my endurance training as a marathon runner. March came, with a lock down and what I could incorporate at home using weights i did. I went back to Bernard afer the lockdown ended and haven't looked back, best decision I made - my overall fitness vastly improved; strength, speed, toning and weight loss all started to show. Bernard comes from an experience background in personal training, overall fitness coach and excellent knowledge of healthy eating he also has wisdom, a great communicator and listens to your goals and will work alongside them to achieve those and be your optimal best. You will get RESULTS with Bernard. I would also like to mention that ION Fitness is meticulously spotless and hygiene is paramount here which can be seen throughout. I look forward to 2021 with Bernard/ ION Fitness.

Bernard is absolutely fantastic, we completed 12 PT sessions in 6 weeks it was not easy but with Bernard's vast knowledge and positive attitude I looked forward to each session. Each session we would target a different part of the body using body weight free weights and the large variety of gym equipment which Bernard has in CTB he also did some Boxing with me which was so enjoyable and was great to get the heart rate going. Bernard is very professional and is a great communicator and will work the PT around your form often I would turn up to PT deflated/tired and feed up and would leave smiling and upbeat. Bernard also makes you feel like you are the only PT session he has had for the day even if it is nine o'clock in the evening and he has had PT sessions on the hour since 9 AM.

He has a great knowledge of the muscle system and will quickly analyse your strengths and weaknesses and design a workout specifically tailored to you. He is highly motivational, he knows just how far he can push you and you will always be suprised of what you can achieve under his guidance. He is not afraid to be tough when you are slacking but is intuitive to what is challenging you on the day & continually changes up the routine so you are never bored & the hour passes suprisingly fast I always leave feeling a million dollars & would recommend his PT sessions to anyone, if anyone can get you up and motivated Bernard can
