Optima Strength: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I had a life changing experience with Fiona, couldn’t be more grateful I lost the weight in exactly the period i hoped and my body shape completely changed. She is so patient with me, she boosted my confidence and adjusted the plan and exercises according to my personal needs . She is more than a trainer,she is my nutritionist my therapist and a good friend. I am having a great experience, i highly recommend Optima and specially Fiona ❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: I recently had the privilege of embarking on a fitness journey with Fiona, and I can confidently say it has been nothing short of stellar. Fiona's expertise in fitness is evident in every session, as she tailors workouts to suit individual needs while pushing boundaries to achieve goals I never thought possible. What truly sets Fiona apart is her genuine care for her clients' well-being. She goes above and beyond to ensure workouts are not only effective but enjoyable, creating an atmosphere of positivity and encouragement that makes each session something to look forward to.
Fantastic experience: Very good. This should be on every ones 'to do' list as they get older.
Thank you Angela. We really appreciate you taking the time to review. It's great that you understand the importance of strength training for holding on to strength and health as you age!
Fantastic experience: Heya. It's me again, after almost a year with Fiona. What can I say about my experience? She is brilliant in every session, customizing workouts to fit individual needs while pushing me to surpass limits and goals I never thought possible as a sedentary IT guy. This effort has significantly improved how I handle my busy routine and how my body recovers from illnesses. What I like most is her positivity and patience in explaining the movements, adjusting them until my body and brain can perform them correctly and effectively. Thanks a million for supporting me on this journey.
Thank you Sandro! It helps to have some accountability, expertise and tracking.
Fantastic experience: Before I began a weekly programme of strengthening exercise I felt my 59 year old body was getting weaker and was steadily declining. Doing the one to one training with a calm, knowledgeable instructor was a wake up for my body that it was still very capable of functioning well this had knock on positive effects with confidence in myself and a feeling of confidence in my body and my appearance. I would recommend this challenging but worthwhile programme you have nothing to lose and lots to gain.
Thank you Mary! To your point; if you don't use it (muscle), you lose it. Really appreciate your kind words about the team and we're delighted with your results. It's also great to learn that you have improved your confidence and physical function so rapidly.
Fantastic experience: Before I started with Nigel I had not been to a gym in years.I needed to get fit and build my strength up. Also has improved my mental health. It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself and will be keeping it up for the next few months.
Hi Glenda, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Nigel shared your feedback with the team and we're thrilled about your results. Unbeknownst to most, strength training is fantastic for mood and cognitive health, staving off neurodegenerative decline. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Really professional approach, Lawrence and his team took great care getting to know me and tailoring a workout around the equipment I have and my own needs as well as explaining their evidence based approach. The introductory workout was excellent, I got great instruction and support from my trainer. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you sir! We're thrilled to see you value the evidence-based approach. All of our strength training approach is informed by the preponderance of scientific literature to ensure that we're delivering the most effective and safe strength workout in 30 minutes. Moreover, we really appreciate your kind words about trainer, Nigel. All trainers at Optima Strength carry strong exercise backgrounds and go through rigorous ongoing internal development so they are top of their game!
Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Optima Strength. A great alternative to the gym... Excellent coaches with knowledge and experience in abundance and online classes and times to suit your schedule.

Our aim is to support busy individuals like yourself in achieving their fitness goals, and it's wonderful to see it reflected in your feedback.
Fantastic experience: My problems with walking and stiffness of joints have improved considerably since I began working with Nigel of Optima Strength. He is very professional and understanding and is making a huge difference for me. Tony Finucane
Tony, thank you so much. We are thrilled to hear how much you are benefiting from our strength training. Will be sure to commend Nigel.
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Lawrence Neal, an online personal trainer at Optima, for the past few months and I am blown away by the results I have achieved through his high intensity training program. Lawrence is a true professional and an expert in his field. He has tailored the program specifically to my needs and goals, and has provided constant support and encouragement throughout the process. The workouts are challenging, but with Lawrence's guidance and motivation, I have been able to push myself to new limits and see significant improvements in my strength and fitness. I highly recommend Lawrence and the team at Optima for anyone looking to take their fitness journey to the next level
Thank you Nikul!
Fantastic experience: Excellent introductory workout and very thorough phone consultation. Coming from a place of both excess weight and physical injury, Lawrence was very reassuring and supportive and I am really looking forward to working under his tutelage and that of his colleague Nigel.
Thank you Roisin!
Fantastic experience: Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions. It’s a really nice and friendly atmosphere where you can get tailored friendly advice. Accessible to anyone - beginner, expert, young, old, men, women.
Thank you Tom.
Fantastic experience: An excellent training session by a very knowledgeable and encouraging coach. Highly recommended to anyone thinking about getting one-on-one training. Lawrence raises the standard for personal training in Galway.
Thank you John. You're a beast!
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience, the attention to detail and expertise from Lawrence was second to none. If you are a busy professional like myself, this is the perfect fitness routine for you.
Thank you sir!
Fantastic experience: I was struggling to stay consistent with my workouts before joining Optima. The frequency of HIT training suits me as I can commit to the time each week. The equipment the lads in Optima have is excellent and perfect to be able to get the maximum out of my workouts without fear of injury. I am really starting to feel the benefits after a few months with increased muscular size and strength. Thanks Lawrence and Nigel.
Thank you Sean!
Fantastic experience: Great experience training with Optima Strength. I had the pleasure of having Lawrence as my coach. Hugely knowledgeable and great personally too. Great care and attention paid to my programme, making adjustments along the way to get the most out of my training. I trained with Optima Strength remotely through the lockdowns and was still able to see great improvements with my strength and body composition - even with limited equipment available. Lawrence really helped with helping me to understand my body better so that I can train optimally. Can’t recommend Optima Strength enough. I just wish I lived closer so that I could workout at the studio!
Thank you Tolu!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and dedicated trainers. Highly recommend this service
Thank you Padraig!
Fantastic experience: It had been years since I'd darkened the door of a gym and I'd never really done anything in the realm of one-to-one training. I was feeling sluggish and unmotivated and wanted to make a change, but also felt the time constraints associated with working and being a parent of young children. Training with Optima Strength was an eye opening experience compared to standard gym workouts I'd done in the past. After only a few weeks I noticed a marked increase in strength and body shape while training for a mere 30 minutes once a week. I made demonstrable gains on a weekly basis and the ability to look back and see how far I'd come, really drove me forward. The trainer I worked with provided excellent feedback during and after every session, which improved the effectiveness of subsequent workouts. I couldn't recommend Optima Strength highly enough.
Thank you Micheal!
Fantastic experience: I was feeling frustrated, and stuck in a routine. I’d hit a plateau and couldn’t figure out how to break through to the next level. After some Googling, I found Optima Strength, and was impressed by the initial consultation and approach they had. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did! Within the first 5 minutes I knew this was a new way of working out, and it was remarkable at how little I had been pushing myself, and under their guidance I felt like I was reaching beyond anything I’d done before and was feeling it in the muscles I was meant to be feeling it!
Thank you Tom
Fantastic experience: I’d been struggling with motivation and how to fit a beneficial work out on with my busy work and life schedule. I had one online 121 session which has reignited my passion and given me motivation and knowledge about how I can truly impact muscle development in the time I can afford. I really enjoyed the sessions too, far more than your standard gym PT.
Thank you Andy!
Fantastic experience: Top class one to one personal strength training. Much more time efficient and effective than anything else I’ve tried. Trainers are very knowledgeable and informative. I’ve seen great improvements in my strength and body composition, and it’s reassuring to know that I’m getting multiple health as well as fitness benefits. I’d recommend Optima for anyone whether a complete beginner to strength training or someone who trains regularly.
Thank you Brendan!
Fantastic experience: Attending here for over a year and what I like is that I can make very significant improvements with just one half-hour session per week. The training is properly one-to-one, so you can customize to focus on areas you're interested in.
Thank you Pat!
Fantastic experience: With two small kids and moving into my mid-forties, I wanted to improve my basic energy and strength levels, whilst protecting myself against injuries and physical deterioration in general. I had been feeling a bit defeated about my physical condition, but speaking to Lawrence helped me to just tackle the problem in a practical and targeted way. The sessions are very targeted and personalised, and it’s great to see how quickly the approach to training (to physical failure) can have a positive impact. Also, due to the current family and work situation, the relatively small time commitment of the training works really well and allows for no excuses! Just a few months into the sessions, I am already seeing and feeling the physical & mental benefits of the training.
Thank you Brendan!
Fantastic experience: I was really worried about the decreasing strength in my arms and running out of breath climbing stairs, but I was apprehensive to join a gym. As someone who did not do any physical activity, Optima Strength is an ideal way to improve my strength and health. It started paying off within weeks.
Thank you Sean!
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of using the services of a new bni member who gave freely of their time to explain how their operation worked. I found the knowledge and information passed to me was immense in being able to promote the working of the business. I would recommend that all members would experience this business as even in the prior 121, I was still unsure of exactly how to explain the business. I Will be returning to the coal face with this business. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Lawrence Neal of Optima Strength. Thank you! Lawrence
Thank you Eugene!
Fantastic experience: Lawrence of Optima Strengths offers an extremely professional service and answered any questions I had. I would not hesitate to recommend Lawrence and the services he offers. If you are looking to get to the next level in relation to strength training, Lawrence is the person to talk to.
Thank you John!
