DB Strength & Performance

Fantastic experience: I attended DB Strength and Conditioning for 4/5 months and I really enjoyed the small group personal training classes! Darren is professional, genuine and knowledgeable. There is loads of opportunities to progress your strength, fitness and personal goals. Each session is tracked which makes progression motivating! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started with Darren back in November as I wanted to try and improve my health & fitness. He does 1-1 or small group sessions which is great for anyone who finds the gym daunting like me. He’s a lovely fella who has genuine interest in helping people reach their goals. I have issues with my back aswell which he gave me great advice on how to help & tweaked some of the exercises to suit me. The small group sessions are great because you still get that 1-1 and don’t just feel like a number In a room. Massive thanks to Darren for all the advice & help during my time in DB strength & performance ☺️

Fantastic experience: If you want to kick some goals Darren will help you get there. I was back home for three weeks and asked Darren to help me to hit some goals over that period. Darren was great, friendly, helpful and supportive. This is a very warm and welcoming space, open to everyone, if you are looking for a challenge sign up here. I also recommend talking to Darren about online coaching and nutrition.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Darren enough! Absolutely lovely guy who really gets you motivated and is patient with teaching you the exercises. I learned a lot in my 6 or so weeks there and would stay indefinitely if I wasn’t moving away! The gym is a lovely atmosphere, classes are small with a lovely community spirit. Really helped with my confidence, as someone who finds gyms very intimidating I feel much more prepared to join one now!

Fantastic experience: If you are like me and the thoughts of joining a gym is daunting to say the least then you must try DB Strength & Performance. I’m no spring chicken so it was not easy to take the first step to joining. I cannot believe the progress I have made in a few months and this is down to Darren being a great motivator and encouraging me to fulfil my potential. He has a good sense of humour and is very patient. The class sizes are small and consist of all ages and abilities. You get professional advice and guidance throughout each session. If you want to start your fitness journey (no matter what your age) and don’t know where to start then I would highly recommend DB Strength & Performance, you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Joining DB Fitness was one of the best things I did in 2024. When the gym I was attending closed, I was worried I wouldn't find another gym in Longford that I would enjoy attending. I was worried for nothing, DB Strength is amazing. I love the small classes and the individual attention all clients receive. Darren, is professional, friendly, easy to chat to, no question is considered a stupid question and he clearly knows his stuff. I've enjoyed feeling my strength grow and seeing the gains I've made. I've grown in confidence and love the fact that Darren is always so encouraging and just gives that little extra push when you need it. The clients are all friendly and Darren is very welcoming and always up for a little good natured banter. I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a good, professional, fun gym you should join DB Fitness. And of course when the 4 legged cheer leader????makes an appearance it's an extra bonus.

Fantastic experience: I joined January 2024 , and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The sessions are well thought out allowing me to mix up my routine and stay motivated. Darren is very helpful and is always there to adjust exercises to my fitness level. What truly sets DB strength and performance apart is its welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Darren for the past six weeks, from the start, he took the time to understand my goals and tailor a program that perfectly matched my needs and abilities. Every session is a challenge, but it's also motivating and rewarding because of his knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging coaching style. His attention to detail and focus on proper form, which has not only boosted my strength and performance but also helped me avoid injuries. The structured approach has pushed me past limits I didn't think I could reach in such a short time. Darren clearly has a deep passion for what he does, and it shows in every session. I feel stronger, fitter, and more confident in my abilities than ever before. If you're looking for a dedicated and skilled strength and conditioning coach, I can't recommend Darren highly enough! The group sessions are great and full of enthusiastic friendly people.

Fantastic experience: Joined DB strength& preformance back in April and so happy I did. Darren has a great deal of knowledge especially for some one like me that has back issues. Darren ensure that you are using the correct technique for all exercises and also gives some great tips on food intake.I really enjoy the small groups and have some great laughs even while working up a sweat. I definitely have gained more strength and energy since joining and always come out feeling better. Great gym always clean and great facilities.

Fantastic experience: My daughter is a professional irish dancer and we needed a gym that would be able to work on the needs of a dancer,Darren has being absolutely fantastic with her and even when she broke her foot,Darren changed her program to adapt to the injury,he has always accommodated her gym sessions to work around her dance classes,I would highly recommend Darren

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, joined in July 2022 and can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I made for my health and fitness. Darren is a fantastic coach and adapts exercises to suit all abilities and injuries. Great dynamic in the classes, makes going to the gym an enjoyable experience

Fantastic experience: Joining DB Strength & Performance 18 months ago was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. Having not exercised for many years, the prospect of joining a gym was daunting -especially having had negative experiences with commercial gyms in the past. However, my experience here has been nothing but positive. Darren is so welcoming and helpful, offering advice and encouragement at all times, and always without any judgement. The small group size also makes it easy to get to know people and have a bit of craic while we're at it! This is a welcoming space for all, regardless of experience, body size, age, etc. I'm so much stronger now than I ever was before, and it's rewarding to see the progress being made by tracking our workouts. Could not recommend Darren and DB Strength & Performance enough, it has been so good for both my body and mind!

Fantastic experience: When I moved to Longford, I was keenly looking at different gyms. I specifically needed gyms where they do small group trainings. This led me to DB Strength and performance, a fantastic gym that I am happy to have joined. Its been almost 6 months since I joined DB , Darren has been a constant support all through the process of building my strength up through trainings. The structured classes that is been provided in DB has helped me a lot. Darren is an amazing coach, professional and friendly, tailors exercise accordingly to each individual needs, and good at motivating everyone to be on track. Highly recommended .

Fantastic experience: I have been going to DB Strength and Performance for nearly 2 years. As I'm in my late 40s, I'm finding it a great way to maintain and build my muscle tone. The classes are structured and exercises varied. No body part is neglected. All ages are catered for, and because the classes are small, you get to work on the correct technique with the assistance from Darren when needed. As I was coming from a different gym where I spent a fab 9 years, it did take a few months to adjust to the structured programme but I'm delighted I stuck with it and can see the progress I have made over the last 2 years. Give DB Strength and Performance a try, there is a wide range of class times, its one hour of ' me time' you won't regret.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to DB Fitness for 1.5 years. I never really enjoyed the gym before starting at DB Fitness but immediately began to enjoy it on joining DB fitness. Darren has great knowledge and one of the most important things is he teaches you proper technique. The classes are challenging but very manageable and you can push yourself as hard or as little as you want. The small class sizes of maximum 8 are highly recommended along with the very structured three classes per week. I would recommend DB Fitness to anyone who want a structured high quality approach to their Strength and Conditioning in a very supportive friendly environment. Finally, there are all types of shapes and sizes in DB Fitness and I have first hand witnessed how Darren has taken people from never going to a gym before or after a long break to a knowledgeable and fit gym user within a few months. It would also by excellent for any sports people looking to improve their S&C and bulk in the close season!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic gym. I came over to spend a weekend with Sonya McKenna. She introduce me & her sister Natasha to Darren. He was very motivating knowledgeable & made the one to one session great fun. Highly recommendable

Fantastic experience: One of the most positively impactful decisions I ever made was joining DB Strength & Performance in Feb 2022. Like any gym subscription you will get out of it what you put in, but the model at DB is unique in that it minimises the need for - self-motivation: through the LegitFit booking app. - self-discipline: through individually tailored and targeted exercise plans. To try to describe all the physical and mental benefits of what Darren facilitates on a Google review would not do it justice - try it for 3 months - your body will thank you for it.

Fantastic experience: I joined DB Strength and Performance earlier this year and its made a massive difference to my life. Its been great to get back training and after just a few training blocks with Darren my Strength has improved and I've noticed a big difference in my body composition dropping body fat and gaining muscle. Darren is a great coach with alot of knowledge and offers alternative exercises if your struggling with an injury and also tailors the session to your ability. The booking system is also great and very user friendly. The accountability of booking in on the app also makes it alot easier to get your sessions in and to train consistently. Lots of variety for times to train and an all round friendly gym environment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. I have spent a good bit on physio , osteopathy , acupuncture for lower back and hip pain. Both my physio and a doctor in work told me it’s strengthening up now that I really needed to focus on. I started with Darren back in December 1:1 sessions (8 in total) . I was struggling with lower back and hip pain whereby I was at my wits end with on and off pain on daily basis. I sent Darren a message on instagram and he said he could help me. The sessions were tailored to my needs and well planned out. If I had any pain or discomfort with any of the exercises they would be altered . I really feel I would be a lot worse off if I hadn’t started these S&C sessions with Darren. My pain is at a manageable level and Darren gave me hope too . Everything takes time. I’m definitely feeling stronger in myself and I have now transitioned into the group sessions! I will continue to keeping these up!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 for professionalism, facilities & cleanliness great facilities and a great coach.

Fantastic experience: Darren provides amazing coaching, adapting to his clients needs and adjusting g the workouts to not only suit each client individually, but also to address any issues that may arise. He's very approachable and if he doesn't know an answer straight away, he'll research and get back to you. I recommend his services wholeheartedly.

Fantastic experience: I have finally got the courage to return to the gym after nearly 5 years. Darren has had great patience with me. I started with a couple of pt over 3 weeks which really helped my confidence. Darren is a very professional coach who gives 100% to his clients. I really like the idea classes are small and already feel stronger and higher energy levels. The gym itself is spotles. Highly recommended DB Strength & Performance.

Fantastic experience: Awesome guy, an experienced and helpful instructor who cares about the technique

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended DB Strength & Performance is much more than just a gym, all because of the structure and professionalism Darren brings to the gym. I started with Darren in January 2022 and I can honestly say it has improved my energy levels & core strength. I am finding my lower back alot stronger also due to the classes. As the classes are tailored for a smaller group this really affords Darren the time to ensure your doing the exercises correctly, something you just don't get in larger groups. The booking system is very easy to use, and allows you to plan out your week in advance, but also allows flexibility to switch classes if something crops up. It's also good craic and banter, and you never go home regretting going to the class.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience so far. I've been training in the class setting with Darren for 6 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I found the experience of joining a new gym very daunting after the past 2 years of lockdown. My level of fitness physically and mentally really suffered and the push I needed to get back into it was all down to finding the right environment! I truly look forward to my sessions here and everyone I've met is really friendly. Working out at 10e a class, three times a week so 120 a month is a steal as far as I'm concerned. I feel fitter, healthier, stronger, happier and more knowledgeable about lifting and my nutrition in a very short space of time. Thank you Darren for setting up this supportive and fun community setting in Longford. I doubt I'll be training elsewhere so long as I'm living in the area. If in doubt about joining - Just do it!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a professional trainer and coach. Always clean and tidy. A great place to be weather your just a beginner or a consistent gym goer

Fantastic experience: Have been working with Darren for 8 weeks now and i am very happy with the tailored programme put together for me. Great advice on nutrition and really feeling the difference already. Always at the end of the phone for advice and encouragement. I have started to feel and see the difference in my body already. I would highly recommend DB strength and performance to anyone looking to make a change and get fit.

Fantastic experience: DB Strength & Performance is a fantastic gym, I can not recommend it enough. Thoroughly enjoying all my training sessions and getting stronger each week.
