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've personally been training with Bernard since I was 12 and I'm now 18 and can safely say he's been absolutely amazing!

Fantastic experience: Great club with a great family ethos. Bernard is a very dedicated trainer, but still a big softy with the little ones. Lots of equipment and well organised for team training and one to one sessions.

Fantastic experience: ION Health and Fitness is brilliant! Bernard’s dedication to his classes particularly during these challenging times has been second to none. My son attends his kickboxing classes. These classes have been organised so well by Bernard and his team, making booking so easy by using a very simple booking app. It has been fantastic that my son has been able to continue training to such a high level and standard, maintaining his fitness and his love of the sport. Thank you Bernard and I have no doubt ION will just grow from strength to strength. Looking forward to getting back to the Bantry Ladies Keep Fit Class - excellent fitness class with all levels of fitness catered for by Bernard. Enjoyed it so much prior to the pandemic!

Fantastic experience: The Cardio boxing and beginners Kickboxing are excellent classes at Ion Health and Fitness. Bernard is a fantastic teacher who is patient and interacts with the class. The classes arent too big so you get the full attention of the trainer. The classes themselves make working out fun and are excellent value for money.
