“I have been training with John for over a year now and as someone who suffers with chronic illness and bilateral hip dysplasia, I was apprehensive about starting with a personal trainer however, John’s knowledge, expertise, attitude to injury and ability to promptly change a session to suit my needs has been fantastic. I have gone from not being able to walk without pain to smashing personal bests through John’s guidance and strength and conditioning program. I would highly recommend John especially for someone trying to overcome illness or injury in a safe environment with some light-hearted banter”.
“ I have been training with John now for over a year and his knowledge and professionalism is second to none. All training is tailored to each individual, and he really listens to his clients and what they feel are the goals they want to achieve. I couldn’t recommend him enough ”
“ I was really nervous about approaching a personal trainer and joining a gym as my gym knowledge was very poor I did not even know what a dumbbell was. I have spent many years trying out different gyms and classes, getting mixed results and getting frustrated at lack of progress, motivation or not being able to do the exercises I was given which made me give up even more but John knows his stuff! When I joined and told him I did not know what this was, or I couldn’t do that the first thing he done was screen me and straight away I had answers to why I could not do certain things due to weakness areas or injuries and we built on these until I was able to start a training program. ”
“I first got to know John through college in LIT where we both studied BSc in Sports Strength and Conditioning. In 2019 I accepted the role of Juvenile Athletic Development Coach with Gort GAA. Once I accepted the offer, I contacted John to try get his expertise on board as part of the program. Thankfully, John was willing to commit to this for the full season and his attention to detail, quality of coaching, delivery of program and interaction with both the athletes and management was of the highest standard. His ability to put the science into practice and individualise a program across the various age groups was excellent.
“ John was a student in Limerick Institute of Technology studying Sports Strength & Conditioning for four years, graduating in 2020. John was an excellent student; his wide range of knowledge of all things S&C and coaching was clear from the beginning. John always showed a big interest in learning and becoming a better coach ”
” In August of 2017, 9 months after my operation, I was cleared fit to return to play by the Santry Sports Clinic having passed strength and mobility tests. I returned to full sporting activities 12 months post operation over and am feeling better than ever. Towards the end of my rehabilitation, I decided to continue on with the sessions with John in an aim to improve my overall fitness. Definitely without John’s help I would not have been able to return to play sport in the time frame I did and the in condition I was in! ”
Our Mission is to improve people’s way of life, movement, and strength. We serve through our fitness philosophy, facilities, programs and educating people on the need of strength in every aspect of life and sports.

Fantastic experience: I visited JMC ELITE Gym recently for a consultation with John with a view to starting a program tailor fitted to suit my needs, John took his time taking all my reservations into consideration and recommended a plan for me, he also offered me some great advice on things I hadn't even considered, I would highly recommend John to anyone young or like myself a bit older to speak to John and take on board the benefit of his experience in nutrition and fitness for the body and mind.John has a great facility and is very professional..
Fantastic experience: The training I have been receiving in JMC Gym has been extremely good and has been delivered to me in a very professional way. I have never felt judged for making mistakes or asking questions. I started off on an 8 week strength building and course and after 3/4 weeks I was already seeing great results. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: John helped me to prepare for my wedding and his professionalism and encouragement helped me to achieve my goal of toning up, losing weight and being able to wear the dress I wanted. He has a fantastic ability to break down your goal into everyday tasks and exercises and this is achieved by a very personal and tailored plan! He was a taskmaster when I was slacking off and not putting in the effort while at the same time encouraging and ensuring that all exercises where done safely and properly. Everyone of any ability or fitness level is always made to feel welcome and supported and there is often great banter and craic as well as working hard and getting the job done! Great facilities and free parking and the classes and workouts are regularly changed and improved so it is impossible to get bored, couldn't recommend this gym and John highly enough
Fantastic experience: By far the best choice I’ve made for my son and I to start training with John. He is a fantastic trainer, very supportive and takes time to get to know you. All training sessions are always tailored to your needs and abilities and he never repeats a session unless necessary. The coaching is very professional and well planned so we started seeing results in no time. Let’s not forget John’s great sense of humor so every session is filled with laughter and it feels very positive. Thank you for guiding us throughout our fitness journey ! Rita Accountant
Fantastic experience: "Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care" - Theodore Roosevelt. Whether it's an experienced athlete or a young aspiring athlete, John McCormack CARES tremendously about everyone he works with. And, once you realize how much he CARES about helping his clients become better, you realize just how much he KNOWS in regards to how to help each athlete reach their potential. John’s energy and enthusiasm is contagious. He possesses every quality you’d want in a great coach. He’s bright, motivational, passionate, disciplined, and hungry to get better. More importantly, he instills these same qualities in the athletes and coaches he interacts with. His training not only builds a strong/well conditioned athlete, but his approach, more importantly, builds confidence in athletes to believe in their ability to reach new heights. . I’ve been fortunate to have him coaching me for the last 18 months. He’s truly one of best coaches in the country.
Fantastic experience: I started with John about a year and a half ago and have never looked back! He really is amazing at what he does and really know his stuff since I’ve started I’ve got so much stronger, my technique has drastically improved! And it’s a lot of fun I look forward to my time at the gym, can’t recommend him enough…
Fantastic experience: Great facility, all new equipment and great coaching. All staff super friendly and enthusiastic and interested in you no matter your fitness level to to get you on your fitness journey. I would recommend 100 to a friend.
