Fantastic experience: Excellent facility, challenging,caters for all abilities and the classes have something for everyone. Great expertise from all 3 coaches.

Fantastic experience: Since joining Paul’s gym 4 months ago, my fitness, strength and technique have improved massively. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming and supportive. The huge range of classes ensure that there is something for everyone and everybody is challenged. Having gone from solo training for years, I love the social aspect of the classes and look forward to every session. Paul, Jason and Elima are fantastic coaches and always check in with how you are finding things both in the gym and with your diet/ overall well-being. The app is great for recording your stats and checking your progress. I couldn’t recommend this gym enough.

Fantastic experience: I joined Paul McGowan Fitness just before Christmas to get a head start on my new year's resolutions. It is a top notch gym - all the trainer's are great and are very approachable and friendly. The workouts have a great balance of being challenging but also fun and enjoyable. Aside from the workouts, there is a real sense of community within the gym. New members are made feel welcome by both the trainers and the people who use the gym. I couldn't recommend Paul McGowan Fitness more!

Thanks so much Fiachra, we're so glad you've joined us. ❤️

Eileen McEneaney 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joined Paul's gym in February with my husband while we were living in the area for a few months, never used a gym before, we wanted to build strength and fitness. Our baseline was low! Paul and the team supported us, the gym community were so inclusive and friendly, we loved being part of it for 5 months and we will miss it. Excellent coaching by Paul and Jason, but a special shout out to Elima, we loved her classes and her encouragement. We are a few pounds lighter, stronger and we will keep at it. Looking forward to linking in to sessions and classes when we are back! Missing it already!

Paul Mcgowan Fitness

Thanks so much for trusting us to help you guys start your fitness Journey. We're delighted to see how well you've both done. Chat soon

Enya Gillen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic gym. I've been using Paul's gym over the past few years when I visit home from England. It's an absolute pleasure to train here. I've used the open gym previously but on my visit last month I attended the strength classes. The coaching and sessions were top notch and challenging. There is a great atmosphere in the gym and the coaches and members are all very friendly and helpful. The gym is so tidy and very well laid out. The view from the gym floor is stunning. It's always a highlight of my holidays to use this gym. As a personal trainer myself, I can see the wealth of knowledge and ability Paul and his team have.

Paul Mcgowan Fitness

We love having you in Enya. Thanks.

Adell K 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first started the gym I never thought I would enjoy exercising as much as I do, the coach's (Paul, Jason and Elima) are always there to give advice and help, as a 50 year old woman I feel the healthiest and fittest I've ever been. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Eamonn Doogan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A great gym in the heart of Moville. Been training here since October 2022 and I’m really enjoying it.

Fantastic experience: I was always nervous about starting gyms and feeling out of place but I've never felt that less here. Seeing my personal goals met and being encouraged to do so by Paul, Elima and Jason it's nothing but brilliant. The community here is amazing and I look forward to going to the gym and don't see it as just a task to do now

Luke McGuinness 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had been meaning to add strength training to my fitness routine for a while. So glad that I finally bit the bullet and went for it. I’m thoroughly enjoying each class with their friendly supportive atmosphere and expertise of the trainers. After not even 2 months I’m already seeing huge increases in strength, physique (beginnings of a six-pack! ) and in my overall well-being throughout the day. Highly recommend!

niamh mc dermott 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Could not recommend paul and his team enough! Only recently started and already feel more confident in myself. Going to Paul’s gym has become part of my daily routine for the better.

Sarah McD 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, It's honestly the best couple of hours I spend every week, as I always leave the session feeling better than when I walked in. The coaches and members are constantly supporting and encouraging everyother to work harder and do better for themselves along with having a laugh. Paul’s always updating the facilities at the gym so that his members get the best with Myzone, Tanita body analysis, challenges and apps which we can track our progress, book classes and see any workouts which we missed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pauls gym to anyone!

Paul Mcgowan Fitness

Thank you Sarah

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Paul McGowan fitness for 4 years now. It is where I meet my friends and most importantly where I meet new friends. All our classes during Covid were online and it really was a life saver. Our online classes were just as much fun as our gym classes The classes are fun, I sweat and laugh in equal measure I love being a part of a group like this, everyone is supportive and we encourage each other inside the AND outside the gym. Paul, Jason & Elima are fantastic. I love to see either one of them take a class. They truly are a dedicated team. Paul’s gym is always evolving, he gives 100% and engages with his clients all the time. His Instagram always provides great tips and information

Thanks Caroline ❤️

Fantastic experience: Being a newcomer the the gym, it was quite nerve racking thinking can I do this. Paul, Jason and Elima changed my mind immediately, from the initial consultation to identify my goals to being a member since October 22. Still going strong. Paul McGowans gym has a class to suit all abilities. Only regret is I didn’t start sooner.

Fantastic experience: Paul McGowan fitness is a very professional operation, and Paul himself has a treasure chest of information about fitness/fat loss/body composition. As well as being an excellent instructor when learning how to lift weights properly, he gives great, realistic advise about diet/nutrition and can put a plan in place to help you achieve your goals. I could not recommend him any more!

Thank you for your kind words Seán

Fantastic experience: I plucked up the courage last Sept thanks to the beginners academy to go to the gym, I was so nervous going to that first class, but I am so glad I did. Not only do I feel physically stronger I feel mentally stronger too. Paul ,Elima, and Jason are so supportive and are always there to encourage you, and answer any questions. I encourage anyone thats as nervous as I was to take that first step, do it, you will not regret it

Fantastic experience: Can’t get over the change in my strength in the time I’ve been at Paul’s gym. I feel better, lots of people are saying I look better. All the coaches are so supportive and I get annoyed if something gets in the way of me going to a class! I was nervous about joining but it was the best thing I ever did and I won’t look back so if you’re unsure, just take the plunge and I know you won’t regret it!

Edel Farren 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Paul McGowan Fitness highly enough. I’ve been a member for one year now and I can honestly say that it has been life changing. I now consider my daily classes an integral part of my week and thoroughly enjoy going into the gym and catching up with all the new friends I have made. My confidence has grown, my strength improvement has been phenomenal and my cardio abilities have far exceeded my expectations. I am now 20kg lighter than this time last year and can’t wait to see what the next year brings. You won’t regret taking that first step through the door as Paul, Jason & Elima are by the far the best trainers out there.

Paul Mcgowan Fitness

You're doing incredible Edel!! Thanks for the kind words

Eugene Tunney 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My family and I recently joined this fabulous gym, and we cannot stop raving about it. In all seriousness, it has changed our lives and daily routines for the better. The coaching staff could not be more knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Each of them are experts in their fields, and their passion for a healthy lifestyle is easily, and quickly, adopted by the gym's members. The tight-knit community, fostered by Paul Mcgowan, is truly one of a kind. Each of the members is extremely supportive and always up for a friendly chat; and, during our two month stay, the gym held numerous events where members could gather for coffee, drinks, and even mess around at the local waterpark. In addition to the gym's great views of beautiful Lough Foyle, it has an impressive array of incredible, and very new, equipment. From cross-country ski ergs, to rowing machines, to squat racks, and pull up bars, this gym has everything you need to start looking like Arnold! If you're ever in Moville, I would highly recommend signing up.

Thanks for the great review Eugene, we hope to see you guys again next summer. Take care ♥️
