Defined Fitness Donabate

Fantastic experience: First class.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for something different in exercise and want to change things for the better, this is the place to be, a great way of changing your life if you're serious about a healthy lifestyle.

Negative experience: Wouldn't recommend, communication is a huge issue for this place, and as you can see his childish attitude shines through in his response

Fantastic experience: I've been training with the Andrew and his team for over 18 months now. I've seen great results myself and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the Swords/Donabate area by a mile! Have been training here for a year and have never regretted a session. Would recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: Great place to exercise with like minded people as a team and with good humour. Andrew, Mark and Alan are great at giving directions and advice.

Fantastic experience: I started at the gym 6 months ago with the intention of doing a 3 month block but have no intention of stopping now. The sessions are very well run with a great atmosphere. I had no real previous weight training experience but the lads are always on hand to help with form etc. to make sure you're getting the most out of the sessions. There's also great support around the nutrition and motivation side of things. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best way to get back in shape, lose a few pounds and train with a group of like minded guys. Best thing I’ve done in years

Fantastic experience: Having previously trained with Defined Fitness in 2016 I'm back again in 2023 and happy to be back training again and getting results after four weeks already . Had followed Andrew previously on Facebook for a while before joining in 2016 , took a while to make contact with Andrew and was not disappointed as was a bit wary at first as had thought it'd be full of shapers but it's far from that type of gym . Has massively changed since I was there in 2016 with a much improved set up with more training programs , nutrition guidance , accountability and plenty of help from Andrew and his team and follow up each week with the team if required with some great advice and direction .Plenty of options with class times also with a booking app for this and also a members login app for nutrition , training plans , meal plans and much more . Would highly recommend Defined Fitness if you are looking to get back into shape and have a bit of craic while working towards that goal .

Fantastic experience: As an absolute gym-phobe & someone who is very self conscious of my body shape and weight, defined fitness / bullet proof dad program has changed my life. There is a complete and fundamental spirit of acceptance & comradeship. Everyone; although working to their own level, is supportive of people of all abilities. I’m not a sporting person, I have never been on a football team etc. This is the closest I’ve ever felt to as part of a wider team. My resting heart rate has dropped significantly and more importantly my high blood pressure which was still relatively high even with meds has normalised thanks to my regular sessions here. I’m thankful to Andrew and his team, and all the lads I train with for just making this an enjoyable and non-judgemental experience. If you’re on the fence wondering whether to join, let my 44 year old self tell you… you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I’m going to Defined Fitness for around 7 months now, I absolutely love it. The gym is really welcoming, extremely well run and has an amazing atmosphere. Andrew and his team are total professionals and provide a really well rounded programme that is focused on results.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Perfect option for dads with young kids who want to get back into a sustainable gym routine. Every exercise is demonstrated for you beforehand which is hugely helpful

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Andrew for just over a year now, about to turn 41 and I’ve never been as physically fit in my life! Andrew and his team have created a really unique gym for lads (usually Dads) who want to get fit or stay in shape and enjoy a healthier, more energetic lifestyle. Much easier to stay consistent in this gym with all the benefits of having a personal trainer AND training in a group. Training is enjoyable & gets results - highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Brilliant site with lots of informative information on how to stay healthy and fit in a sustainable way

Fantastic experience: Andrew and his team genuinely want us to succeed and to achieve our goals. The personal touch really helps to stay motivated and focused.

Fantastic experience: Ive been to a few gyms and worked with different trainers throughout the years, but the guys at Defined Fitness are the best ive ever worked with. I have never been this fit in my life! If you were stuck like me and had no confidence to push yourself to the next level dont hesitate to give the guys a shout. You wont regret it. Its hard work but the results pay off big time! ✌

Fantastic experience: I have being going for nearly 6 months now and it's one of the best decisions I have made.. I look forward to going and this has helped me physically and mentally. Andrew, Mark and Alan are very driven and supportive and adapt to individual needs. They atmosphere is relaxed but with a bit of banter and everyone is in the classes are friendly and supportive. The sessions change each time you attend and its easy to change times as needs be to suit your lifestyle.. never did anything like this before and I am 51 and would highly recommend it for anyone that has thought about keeping active but not sure were to start. Lots of meals ideas to help with eating healthy and videos to explain workout techniques.

Fantastic experience: Great gym . All sessions are top class.

Fantastic experience: Great spot. Good trainers and a friendly atmosphere. The only gym you look forward to going to, and feel you’ve missed out on if you can’t go. Give Andrew a call if you want to try it out.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, really well run by Andrew and his team. Sessions are never boring, motivation within the different training groups is exceptional, all comes from Andrew and the lads. Altough Marks music is a bit dodgy . Keep up the great work lads .

Fantastic experience: Started training 1 month ago after nearly 3 years of zero training following a number of operations after a car crash. The lads have modified and tailored exercises around my capabilities. Weekly check ins, weekly body composition and they are always available if you have questions. I've tried the usual standard boot camp style gyms and workouts over the years but nothing compares to the setup Defined Fitness have created and culivated. Working out in a team environment with like minded people all supporting each other.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic coaches always available when in Need , sessions are great mix definitely feel benefits when in 3/4 times In 7 day period

Fantastic experience: Super-effective fitness training that is designed to work around your hectic schedule and based on what you want to achieve, no matter where you are at fitness wise or physique wise. Serious motivation balanced with working at the pace that works for you. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Excellent set up, can’t speak highly enough of Andrew and team

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Defined Fitness Donabate for over a year now and I can honestly say it's the best decision I've ever made. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and the group training sessions are always challenging and motivating. I've lost weight, gained muscle, and feel so much more confident in myself. I highly recommend Defined Fitness Donabate to anyone looking to get in shape and improve their overall health and well-being.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, excellent coaches, has that locker room banter and iv had nothing but results since the 1st day I joined. Highly recommended for anyone new to the gym or who goes but doesn't know what to really be doing. Team BPD at Defined Fitness all the way

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym run by a top class professional and trainers! Andrew and his team give the attention and detail of a 121 personal trainer delivered in a motivational group environment and the results speak for themselves.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic atmosphere for anyone looking to make that change in their life. Great coaches/trainers with great lads to keep pushing you through your workout session.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great trainers. Managed programmes for people of all abilities, group sessions with a feel of being tailored to your personal needs. Can not speak highly enough of this place and Andrew that runs it

Fantastic experience: Andrew has created more than just a gym but more a community. Great to train. Andrew and the guys make going training enjoyable and you will see results

Fantastic experience: Great trainer ,really professional and friendly, too gym

Fantastic experience: Brilliant!! Andrew is excellent, from diet planning to motivation he has all the knowledge you will ever need The groups are very welcoming and supportive. The benefits of this can't be overstated. he communicates it all very well and is great on the technique!! Can't recommend highly enough! Drop a DM or give a call now!! you will wish you had done it sooner!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic personal training gym

Fantastic experience: Like many of you reading this, I watched Andrew's videos for a long time before I gave him a call. I had the same things going through my head as you probably have now - "it's not for me, I'm not a gym head, I'd struggle to keep up, it's easier to do nothing". Making the call was the hardest part of my journey - Andrew is so easy to speak to, and answered all my questions honestly. From my first session, Andrew and the lads made me feel incredibly welcome. Although you're training in a group, there's always 1:1 attention if you need it. The routine is tough but not impossible, and you have your wolfpack there to cheer you on. Since starting with Andrew, I've more energy, I'm a lot happier about how I look and the mental benefits are fantastic as well - having a couple of hours a week for myself where I can just hang out with the lads and "do the work" - it's as important to me as the physical benefits. To anyone reading this thinking "ah that wouldn't work for me though" - trust me, if It works for me, it'll work for you. Liverpool fans especially welcome

Fantastic experience: Training with Andrew for a year now and feel I've knocked 20 years off. I'm fitter, stronger and more confident then I was at 20. Definitely feeling like a Bullet Proof Dad thanks.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Andy and the BPD for over 4 months now and I have never enjoyed working out as much as I do now. The results speak for themselves and I look forward to getting down every Tuesday/Thursday. Before I started training with Andrew, I had been to 3/4 trainers and gyms across Dublin. Same story, quick results with little or no sustainability in regards to diet or technique etc. Within 3-6 months I was back we’re I started. Andy tackles things differently, getting to the root cause of the issues wether it be training or diet, with a friendly approach and an abundance of knowledge. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Not only have we got a great community with amazingly helpful people but we’ve also got the most committed, professional and helpful trainer. Worth mentioning, super facilities too with constantly updated equipment and spotless from top to bottom. Thanks Andy, for all your hard work and time. I’m looking forward to the next year working together.

Fantastic experience: Training with Wormcatchers group about 10 months now. I’m down 2 stone and have so much more energy. I just love the craic with the lads and the support of the group. Thanks Andrew

Fantastic experience: Great training, great diet advice, excellent results. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I was a bit unsure of what to expect before joining bulletproof dad having not trained in a team environment in years. Andrews Methods & way of training in explaining what the benefits of each exercise have made training more enjoyable

Fantastic experience: Andrew is a fantastic trainer , I personally never thought I would enjoy a gym environment until I joined Defined Fitness the concept is great and really is different to what I expected , it’s full of like minded people all trying to get back in shape , the hard work is matched with great Craic , I recommend it to anyone looking to try and be more active.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Andrew and the Bulletproof Dads programme enough, it's a fun environment where you can be comfortable working towards your goals and I am amazed at the results. Thanks Andrew and all the lads for all the support and for making my journey back to fitness a much easier and more enjoyable one than I anticipated.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Andrew for the last 18 months. He is a great motivator and coach, very knowledgeable and lots of fun. During this time, I've taken on several extra-curricular fitness challenges, and Andrew has always been a great advisor and friend. Looking forward to keeping this up.

Fantastic experience: I've just resumed training with Andrew having been away for a year.. I'd forgotten what I was Missing. You train with lads in small groups who always encourage each other but at the same time creating an enjoyable atmosphere. This is what seperates Defined Fittness from any other gym! Keep up the good work Andrew.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Andrew at Defined Fitness for almost a year now. I had gotten into a rut fitness wise and was starting to really struggle with energy levels. I contacted Andrew and did a two week trial and haven’t looked back since. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable but always speaks in relatable terms and you never feel judged about having a couple of bad food days. His advice and training leads to sustainable results and I’ve never felt better. I would recommend Defined Fitness and the Bullet Proof Dad programme to anyone who’s struggling with time for training. Come along you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Before I joined Defined Fitness I was in a rut. I had become lazy and overweight. After a recommendation from a friend I decided to give it a go. I'm at it over 3 months now and I'm back in shape and have found a new found confidence. Thoroughly recommend it !

Fantastic experience: I started training with Andrew at Defined Fitness about 6 months ago and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. I’d never done any weight training before and was unsure of what to do or where to get started in a gym. From the very 1st session Andrew put this straight. I feel fitter and look better now then I have in years. Not just from the training but also from the nutritional support that Andrew provides too. Also the fact that you’re not training alone but training with a butch of lads who are striving to achieve the same goals is a massive bonus. Stop thinking about it and give Andrew a call It’ll be the best thing you ever do!!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym great work out great trainer

Fantastic experience: Loved every minute of my time there. Do it!

Fantastic experience: I started my fitness journey in February 2016 with Andrew at Defined Fitness in Swords for 3 reasons the main one been my brothers best man and having 5 months to prepare. The gym is a supportive environment with like minded people and everyone is there to help each other. If you struggle with keeping to a strict schedule and trying to go at it along them group training us for you. The lads are all a good laugh thanks to Andrews vetting process. There is always accountability to turn up and train and look after your diet as well as a good few laughs along the way. Andrew brings a great wealth of knowledge to all his clients from this own dedication and impressive CV and strives to keep improving his facility with New equipment and technology. (Yes technology in a gym) Above all that it's a great way to give yourself the time you deserve to look after you! There's nothing like knowing that you need to be out the door in work to get to your session. The session can really change your mindset in an hour particularly if you have had a though day. It's just as important to look after our mental health as it is to look after our physical health and if you want to do both, your in the right place to do it.

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Could not recommend Defined fitness highly enough. Been a member of many gyms in the past, after you join you barely see an instructor and are left to your own devices. Not the case with the bullet proof dad programme. Andrew is great instructor, who is constantly at hand, when you are working out and over what’s app. If you are looking to get in shape but are a bit nervous and find gyms are not your thing, get down to Defined fitness, it’s a great work our and good craic!!!

Fantastic experience: This programme is amazing. Great to walk in and just be shown what to do. Great, welcoming environment full of like-minded lads with similar goals. Had never tried weight training before and really enjoy it. Noticed changes very quickly—in the first couple of weeks.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this gym. I’ve been training here for 9 years . The trainers are incredibly friendly and always ready to help, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all. The variety of equipment and classes they offer are outstanding, making every workout enjoyable. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned fitness enthusiast, Defined Fitness has something for everyone. I've seen great results since joining and couldn't be happier! From Building life long friendships with your group members to getting into the shape of your life you can’t ask for more !

Fantastic experience: Great gym, highly recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: Andy is an excellent coach / trainer. I have been a client of Andy’s for a year now. The results have been Very impressive. The classes are never boring and the exercises are varied to work all parts of the body. I’m a lot healthier and stronger than I have ever been. The teamwork in the gym is first class, everyone pushes themselves and each other along to achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: Been in the gym have changed the way i leave, has been great to be part of a team, and finding a trainer as Andrew, aleays there ready and prepared to guide you during the training and out, always available to answer all your question. I am blessed to have been now a year with Andrew. Andrew is clear and down to earth and he is honest in giving you the right guidance in archiving the results you want

Fantastic experience: Great craic & great results. Polar opposite to a “regular” gym. Never boring, never a chore & team ethic makes each session enjoyable despite the hard work. 2 sessions a week and clever nutrition will get the results for anyone despite age or size - 5 star results

Fantastic experience: Defined Fitness has been a great experience for me. Andrew is very supportive and has helped me to understand and enjoy everything that physical fitness offers. Only regret is that i didnt join earlier.

Fantastic experience: I’d thoroughly recommend Andrew and the Defined Fitness experience as a whole. It caters for all shapes and sizes but with a common goal and work ethic for everyone. It’s a friendly atmosphere surrounded by people who all want the best for each other, and joining the group has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health, mind and self confidence

Fantastic experience: Always in patches but never sustainable was my relationship with fitness away from sports but after making the decision to join Defined Fitness just under a year ago i have finally found something that works, the programme is sustainable , the lads are a great motivation and I actually enjoy going now and hate missing out. Andrew is fantastic and has helped me change my mindset and my body. I have halved my body fat % and lost 2 stone and still have life balance with food and family. I nearly never made the best decision of my life so don't make the mistake give it a go, you've nothing to lose except maybe some unwanted body fat!

Fantastic experience: Andrew is a true gentleman & and a very very good instructor! Serious results were seen in as little as 6 weeks. Well worth it, recommend him to anyone. Dietary information is the key as well. Nearly 4 years later i'm still training with him and enjoying every bit of it.

Fantastic experience: Great trainer , great lads in the groups who also along with Andrew motivated and educated me since joining 8 months ago , the only place I got results and great craic along the way , it's a place where I look forward to the classes each week , well worth checking out .
