CMB GYM Personal Training

Fantastic experience: I am a 55 year old woman postmenopausal and had never lifted weights before. From the very start with the online consultation to the first meeting in the gym with my coach it has been a wonderful experience. These guys are the best at what they do with a copious amount of knowledge to guide and coach to a top tier standard. I never believed, at my age I could achieve what I have in such a short time while embodying a complete new lifestyle and learning so much about my body and my mind. This place is more than a gym, it is a safe space, it is inviting, so much fun, the energy is amazing. You will work very hard but the results are there to show. As the Gym,s motto goes "You have to do what others won't to achieve what others don't". Thank you for a wonderful experience so far and I am so excited to keep going! if you want to change your life and not just your body this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with even more amazing results in CMB Gym. It took a while for me to realise I needed to invest in myself but when I did I couldn't have chosen better. Attention to detail in every area including my programming, nutrition, my sleep and regulation of my nervous system. Their approach is not something I have experienced in the past and I have had many coaches. Every metric is tracked and measured ensuring the best results possible. I am as strong as I have ever been, I have lost over 15kgs of fat dropping from 80kg to 65kg. I would wake up multiple times per night due to stress but with the guidance I received on regulating my nervous system along with the correct supplementation I started sleep 7-8 hours without waking with an average of 2 hours of deep sleep per night. I feel like a new person. I couldn't be happier and will continue on my ever evolving journey with CMB Gym! I am beyond grateful, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Really excellent place to train. I came here after a bad sports injury with a herniated disc. The guys were incredible. They helped me work around my injury in ways I didn’t believe possible. 10/10 I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been training here for almost 4 months now, and it has been the best investment I've ever made in myself. Every exercise has been challenging, pushing me towards my goals. I've seen and felt visible changes over the weeks. James, my trainer, always explained things clearly when I had doubts about certain exercises and motivated me when I needed it. Darragh always made sure I stayed on track with my nutrition and regularly checked in with me, helping me navigate this journey alongside my busy work schedule. I love training here and highly recommend it! I call it my "tough happy hours."

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at CMB gym over the last few months and the experience has been fantastic. Prior to joining I had little knowledge in regards to training, James has helped me greatly especially adapting my training to accommodate knee surgery I’m recovering from. The gym itself has everything you could need and has specialist equipment you wouldn’t find in a commercial gym. Darragh has really helped with nutrition and advice, he’s always on hand to give advice and guidance. I couldn’t recommend the guys highly enough and I look forward continuing training with them.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Darragh for over a year and would highly recommend to everyone. I started as a complete beginner and had no experience of weight training or knowledge of good nutrition. I quickly learned from Darragh the importance of good form, consistency and also diet and habit in and outside the gym. The training was fully personalised for my goals and assessed and updated all the time based on the progress we were making. The work is challenging but really rewarding. I learned a lot about training but Darragh is also extremely supportive if you are having a bad day or have constant questions! I really benefitted from the motivation and encouragement and always left the sessions feeling more positive. The atmosphere in the gym is always great and very friendly, they really listen and make sure you have the best experience possible.

Fantastic experience: Darragh has transformed my attitude towards exercise and meal plans. I couldn’t speak highly enough about the professionalism and encouragement I received at CMB.

Fantastic experience: I trained here personally, and under Darragh and his incredible team, any and all goals will absolutely be hit. But what sets him apart? His passion and dedication, to not only bettering himself, but that is his clients. His dedication is part of the reason I became a trainer myself. I wanted to help people the way he and his team do. It's not just about changing your physique but about changing your mindset into thinking healthy. Into thinking positively.

Fantastic experience: An excellent trainer who taught me a alot about exercise and nutrition. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant experience training here, atmosphere in the gym is great and not intimating to new comers, you work hard but also have a bit craic and learn the reason behind and how to excute the excercise you are doing properly, I still use the skills I learned today and it's completely changed my approach to excercise and what I do in the gym and my attitude towards what food I eat, I live alot more healthy and feel so much better in day to day life since I trained there. I would highly recommend training at CMB gym.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at CMB Gym for almost a year now and I can't recommend it hard enough. Both James and Darragh are extremely professional and are always very accommodating to scheduling and answering any questions regarding the training process and nutrition. When I joined the gym I wanted to do it to understand how to exercise and build my body properly. But after attending a few months with James as my PT I understood that if I want to build my body, it was a whole lifestyle and mindset change. It wasn't just the training in the gym but everything I do outside of the gym as well. I initially thought I had a good diet but after talking to Darragh I understood more about how to balance everything out. Everyone is very friendly and supportive which helps to motivate you to actually stick to your training! 10/10

Fantastic experience: Darragh is absolutely amazing. I’ve achieved great results from the work we did together. Looking forward to coming back soon. Always trust the process and your trainer.

Fantastic experience: I joined CMB back in October last year and I couldn’t recommend them enough. James has been my PT and along with the support of the other coaches I have made incredible progress. I have smashed goals that I have been struggling to achieve for years. In addition the warm welcoming and fun environment makes training a joy. Darragh is always available for support in relation to any aspect of nutrition sleep or general wellbeing. I look forward to seeing what the next few months will do for me as the last few have been sensational. Patrick

Fantastic experience: Having let career get in the way of keeping strong and healthy for some time, I wanted to find a trainer in Dublin that would hold me accountable and help me build strength. Having little experience in lifting weights, I spent some time looking for a trainer that I was confident would teach me proper techniques. After the consultation with Darragh, I knew CMB's holistic approach to training was perfect for me. I really enjoyed training with James and Darragh for 3 months. Their knowledge, guidance and positive encouragement helped me build a stronger body and build habits that I will continue to use to maintain a healthier life.

Fantastic experience: I spent 6 months training at CMB gym and it was one of my best decisions. It’s not just personal training, but a complete holistic lifestyle change. Everything is individualised and there is incredible support from everyone in the gym. CMB is an investment in yourself and one I am very grateful I made. I completely changed my habits and mentality with the help of Darragh and really enjoyed training with James. The results speak for themselves. The facilities are fantastic and overall I had a ball training with the guys and getting to meet so many amazing people. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Truly and honestly the greatest gym in Dublin, if not Ireland. I struggled with my weight for so long and had been to so many other PT’s and gyms over the years and then I came across CMB. I knew from looking at previous clients that this gym was different and I took the leap and reached out to inquire about personal training. That was 6 weeks ago now and honestly it’s the greatest decision I have ever made. Darragh does something that nobody else can do. He gives you the tools and expert knowledge to change your body and build yourself into the person you want to be, but he also changes everything about the way you think, live & be - emotionally, physically and mentally. This gym is not just to go in pump some iron and go home - it’s to change your entire life and the way you see it going forward. I’ve never seen results like I’ve gotten with Darragh (and I’ve done multiple PT’s over the years). I’m 6 weeks in to a 12 week stint and between the compliments of looking great from people I know and fitting into looser clothing (went from a Large down to a Medium) I’m amazed at the results and I know it’s down to Darragh and the guys expert guidance and training. If you’re that person who’s stuck in a rut, sick of how they look and don’t know what to do about it cause you feel like everything else you’ve tried to this point has failed - join this gym. You will never look back and I can confidently say you will never get results anywhere else like you will with Darragh and CMB

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend CMB Gym. I booked a consultation and I decided to sign up. I started with no previous experience of being in a gym or doing workout routines. In 3 months I’ve lost weight and I’m feeling better than I have in a long time. What’s amazing is that within a few sessions I could already get a sense of changes beginning to happen both physically and emotionally. What Darragh and his colleagues James and Ronan have to offer, you won’t find it anywhere else. They’re all lovely guys, really approachable, friendly and invested in what they do. It’s a really positive environment and experience they’ve created. It’s what all gyms should be like!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and trainer! Training with Darragh has been a game changer, training is challenging with great results and guidance on using the right muscle groups. Aside from working hard and progressing while training in the gym there’s as much focus and support on getting balanced outside training if with diet, sleep, and mindfulness.

Fantastic experience: I'm a couple of months into my programme with the CMB Gym, and it's been a fantastic journey. I started as someone with zero gym knowledge, wanting to train, but I feared taking the first step. So before taking that step, I took a lot of time to explore the gym/training options available in Dublin, and when I met Darragh for a consultation, I knew that CMB would be the gym for me to get proper results. Already, I am sleeping better, eating healthy, getting fitter and stronger, and feeling great, and it's been fun doing so, seeing and feeling the progress. I’ve also lost 15kg in weight in less than two months thanks to the guidance of Darragh.I always look forward to going to the CMB gym. It's well-equipped and a place with great people on a similar journey. Darragh and James have been fantastic in guiding me, and thanks to them, I've made much progress in such a short time. I'm so excited to continue the programme and couldn't recommend the CMB Gym enough. I’m very grateful!

Fantastic experience: Darragh is a fantastic trainer. His technical knowledge is second to none and his expertise is unbelievable..but that is pretty obvious when you look at the awards he has won and the length of time CMB Gym has been in business. For me, the Darragh and CMB Gym’s strongest point is the personal touch. They treat their clients like freinds or family, get to know them and their fitness requirement and implement that at a pace that works for everyone. I would recommend highly.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing team working here and helped me discover and achieve my fitness goals. Amazing new equipment/facilities and super friendly staff. Would rate 6 stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Signing up to train with Darragh is one of the best decisions I have made and I can't recommend him enough. I have gotten really strong and fit in such a short space of time, and the training program he has put together is genuinely very enjoyable too. Darragh is very patient and empathetic, but also very strategic in his approach, and will get you whatever results you want to achieve in the way that works best for you. I'm so happy with the improvements I'm making and couldn't ask for a better trainer. I'd recommend CMB Gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Trainer. Darragh takes a holistic approach to training - encompassing diet, well-being and sustainable exercise. He will help you to push yourself to achieve results and impart a lot of knowledge along the way! Even over a period of weeks I have seen significant improvement in my physique and have learned a great deal on the transformational benefits of proper form, breathing technique and mind-muscle connection. I have seen progress in areas that had eluded me even after years of working out in a regular gym. The support and attention to detail provided at CMB is second to none. The CMB gym itself is a top-notch city centre space replete with high-end equipment and provides a friendly and motivational atmosphere for you to achieve your goals. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Darragh is a true professional. His work ethic and attention to detail is flawless. I would highly recommend CMG gym. If you want results this is your gym.

Fantastic experience: Recommended. Both Danielle and Darragh are great trainers and good people. They'll definitely take care of you as a person and as a client and you will get results. Bonus point for also having a space for people to heal. They'll take care of you in body and soul

Fantastic experience: An unrivalled training space in the heart of Dublin City Centre. This facility is all about results! On a physical and emotional level the results are phenomenal & the knowledge passed down is again unrivalled. If you want to achieve what others don’t this is where you need to be! You are guided every step of the way in an extremely caring and nurturing environment. No stone is left unturned and you will be pushed to excel! The coaches care about your well being and educate you to become independent of yourself. They show you how to create your own pathway to physical and emotional success! The energy in the gym is amazing and it’s such a fun place to be and to train. I just love it and I would give it more stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: Darragh has helped me make huge improvements in my training, diet, and consistency in the 5 months I've been training with him. He regularly checks in on your diet and sleep to ensure you're supporting your training with the right base, and continually adapts your programme to ensure you're always pushing yourself. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a PT.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Darragh for a few months and he has really helped me become more aware of my body and how to lift properly. I came in with some experience in a bikini body program previously and regularly exercised on my own. While I considered myself to be strong, I definitely wasn't executing lifts properly and was engaging the wrong muscles to compensate for poor form. We went back to the basics, stripped back the weights, and worked from the ground up. We didn't make comparisons to others and just focussed on my progress and what was best for me. I feel like my mind-to-muscle connection is improving a lot and I am no longer holding onto as much tension. If it weren't for moving far away, I would definitely continue to train with Darragh. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I trained at CMB a few years ago, under Darragh and another trainer he supervised. I was only relatively new to working out and got lots from my time there — including results. A couple years later, when my SO was looking to cut weight — I recommended she check out Darragh. She joined, has taken a lot from the sessions thus far and is quite happy. I, by way of referral fee (joke joke), was kindly offered to join one of her session’s and immediately stepped back to my training all those years ago. Darragh is an excellent trainer, and I was delighted to see how the gym and his methods have continued to grow and improve.

Fantastic experience: After spending only 4 weeks with Darragh at his gym I have changed my lifestyle for good, before joining I had never been to a gym in my life and my weight and lifestyle was getting out of hand. My starting weight was 140kg and after just 4 weeks I am down to 127kg. Darragh was so welcoming and made it inviting to go to the gym and train and taught me what needed to change for myself, from my sleep, to what I was eating and everything else in-between. He always had the answers to my questions and was encouraging every single day. I cannot thank him enough for setting me on the right path and I only wish I could of stayed in Ireland longer to continue my work and journey with him. All you need to do is pop in and you'll see for yourself why it is so good. I'd give it more stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities in the middle of Dublin City, if you are looking for personal training in this area this is a great choice. Darragh has years of experience and always very friendly and professional. Great place to train

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience here, they are great trainers and always ensure that your technique is spot on but overall it's a fun, supportive positive place, a truly enjoyable experience with the added benefit of losing weight and gaining strength. Thanks Danielle and Darragh! See you when I get back to Dublin.

Fantastic experience: Joining the CMB Gym was one of the best investments I have made in my life on a physical but even more mental and mindfulness level. From day one Darragh build a training program which challenged me and pushed limits I thought i would never reach. He made me not only believe in myself and my capabilities again he helped me to address my own limiting beliefs which I have built up over the years due to fear and trauma of previous knee injuries . Simply the support, kindness, understanding and knowledge I have received is unmeasurable not to forget the goals I reached and the fun we had. You won't come across a kinder and more professional trainer like him in Dublin. So do not look any further... He genuinely cares about all his​ clients and puts so much effort into offering a space and place where everyone feels welcome and understood. He takes personal training to another level as he focuses on the overall wellbeing and leaves no room for excuses or big egos. I can't thank Darragh enough for this special place he created ,one will be in for a real life-changing experience as the body, mind and soul will learn to work together to accomplish one goal step by step and all of this will be at the center of his work and your well being journey together at the CMB Gym.

Fantastic experience: CMB Personal Training and more specifically Darragh Hayes, has been by far the best thing to come into my life in the last 12 months. Despite what has been a very challenging period for many of us, Darragh’s passion for changing peoples lives for the better is unrelenting and admirable. I have become stronger, I am more aware of what I put in my body, I sleep better and I am reminded every day that self care is a priority. I have Darragh’s support in and away from the gym and I know he provides this same support for every single one of his clients - not something you will find at just any gym. Not only will you see and experience the physical changes but you will gain mental and inner clarity to better deal with the rollercoaster that is life. Darragh provides an environment at CMB gym that is unpretentious and welcoming so there’s really no need to feel intimidated. What you will find at CMB gym is a trainer in Darragh who genuinely cares about helping you reach your physical goals and much much more! He is also one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Fantastic experience: CMB Personal Training is in my opinion, the best personal training program around. The whole experience was extremely professional but not intimidating at the same time. A very welcoming atmosphere in which you have training catered to your personal needs. Darragh himself is a gentleman who really takes the time to address any concerns you may have and give advice whether it be in relation to general training, diet or lifestyle. Personally, whenever I need to address my diet or training, I always go back to what I did with CMB as it was where I found most success. I'd recommend CMB to anyone as it was successful for me and I still employ training and dieting that I learned from Darragh at CMB Personal Training and would be the first place I go to if I need help and motivation. Can't recommend CMB enough!

Fantastic experience: The CMB gym ( Darragh Hayes ) is seriously improving my life each and every time I go to train with him and keeping track on what I eat and also teaches me about nutrition, sleep and overall healthy life style hacks to optimize my health. He is guiding me to my goal weight and physique faster then I ever could by myself and I am feeling great. In the last 5 weeks of training with him I have gone from 108.8kg — 93.5kg and to be continued. If you’re looking to change your life, optimize your health and get the best possible results, I would seriously recommend CMB gym to help get you to exceed your goals and to feel as good as I do now.

Fantastic experience: If you want results - sign up. Darragh has the ability to transform your lifestyle and work with you to hit goals. I had tried many gyms and trainers and never stuck with it - always found an excuse. At CMB gym you are taken step by step into a programme that is built around you. It isn’t overwhelming but it’s certainly life changing. If you are considering a new gym or exercise routine and nutrition plan - this is one that will give you results. As someone who has tried and failed over the last 8 year’s CMB produced results that changed my relationship with exercise and food.

Fantastic experience: After nearly ten years of trying a host of methods and different trainers I felt that the only stumbling block remaining between myself and my goals were 100% psychological. Not only does Darragh reset the clock on your knowledge of training & approach but more than anything he helps to remove any limitations you may have placed on yourself. Most trainers will indeed cater for nutrition as part of their programs, though Darragh goes far beyond this with a keen interest shown in all aspects of your wellbeing as nothing is left to chance in the pursuit of achieving your goals and exceeding them. One of the key things I will take away from training with Darragh is a sharpened eye for the tiny details that other trainers miss yet make all the difference in getting and sustaining results safely. If you are starting off your journey or possibly looking at switching things up, it is hard to imagine a more knowledgeable, professional & genuine person out there having your back each step along the way.

Fantastic experience: It has been now 2.5 months since I have started training with Darragh. I feel like I cannot praise the work he is doing enough! He is super-friendly, very professional and has a very deep level knowledge of body and nutrition. He explains how to properly execute the moves and which muscle groups affected and how they are affected. He teaches all the science between working out, nutrition macros, calories. You learn A LOT. Results! He gets you the results you want! I have been one of the guys that I thought I cannot gain weight whatever I do. Yeah, it is now only 2.5 months with Darragh and I have put on 8kgs already with a healthy diet, lean muscles! I think this is only start of my journey here :)

Fantastic experience: I've lost almost 2 stone in 7 weeks since I started training with Darragh. I know I'm only at the beginning of this journey but it's incredible just how much better I feel both mentally and physically in such a short space of time. I can't praise Darragh enough, he's been fantastic in every aspect of my training and I'm looking forward to more success at CMB.

Fantastic experience: Darragh is absolutely amazing. He's extremely helpful with both the workout routine and a meal plan. His approach is tailored to the results that I want to achieve. I'm already seeing tremendous progress a couple of months in

Fantastic experience: Loved going to the CMB gym got great results. And friendly staff always eager to motivate and support you. Cant wait to return when I'm back in dublin.

Fantastic experience: When I signed up in the CMB Gym for personal training I really did not know what to expect. From day one I found my experience to be one of extreme professionalism and expert knowledge. I had previous experiences in other gyms with personal trainers but not one could come close to training with the team of coaches in CMB Gym. I initially just wanted to drop some bodyfat and feel a bit better in myself but we took that to a whole new level. Darragh constructed a whole new lifestyle for me, effectively he transformed my life, inside and outside of the gym. With some clever tweaks to my routines, he helped me change the amount of sleep I was getting but more importantly the quality of sleep I was getting which in turn meant my energy levels increased and I was getting more out of myself in our training sessions in CMB. We also worked on changing my eating habits and managing my stress levels by adding breathing techniques and meditation to my daily routine. I am truly delighted with my experience and results with Darragh in the CMB Gym and will continue to train alongside his expert knowledge for the forseeable future!

Fantastic experience: Found these guys to be extremely knowledgeable, and personable, which massively helped in keeping me accountable and achieve the goals we agreed after the first consultation. Would happily recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Darragh and found he was extremely helpful in getting me to a place with my fitness that I was happy with. He pushes and motivates you. I would highly recommend him as I found he is one of the best around!

Fantastic experience: The CMB Gym is more than just a gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been training for years and never saw much of a result. Since joining CMB gym I can't believe the transformation both mentally and physically. The nutritional knowledge, execution of exercises and attention to detail is second to none. Its a fun exciting place to train and not like any other gym I have been a member of. This is high end personal training and if you want results this is the place to join.

Fantastic experience: Worked with Darragh a few years ago. Badly wanted to add some size to my physique and did a lean bulk. Made a visit to The CMB Gym and was very impressed with his knowledge and the set up. Took a lot away from working with Darragh and have implemented his plan a number of times when wanting to improve during a gaining phase. Thanks for always being available for a chat even after working together.

Fantastic experience: I really cannot recommend CMB enough. If you want to transform your health, body, overall wellbeing & also build confidence while doing it, then this is the place to be. Darragh is amazing & an absolute expert in his field. He carrys out a detailed consultation & really takes the time to listen & understand your needs in order to create a very Indivudualised programme to suit. He really pays attention & will guide you through every step of the way. The Best!!!

Fantastic experience: The personal training I received at the CMB gym not only changed my shape, but also my outlook on training and I continue workout using Darragh's methods to this day. Darragh really knows his stuff and also, more importantly walks the talk!

Fantastic experience: This has been a top class experience from day one! From the initial consultation to the full movement and composition assessment, these guys know what they’re doing. The knowledge they posses is so in-depth, if it is real high end results you’re looking for, there is only one place I would recommend - The CMB Gym! I am learning session by session about exercise execution, correct frequency and timing of nutrition for fat loss and muscle building, how to improve my sleep patterns, how to make better lifestyle choices, HRV levels, cholesterol. The list is endless. The gym itself is fantastic and fully equipped with with the best equipment. I’ve lost 8% bodyfat and gained 2.5kgs of muscle in a very short time of just doing what I’m told and getting it right! Thank you CMB Gym and all of the staff for the unwavering support and expert knowledge.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to totally revolutionize your health (mind and body) I would 100% recommend! All the trainers are so personable and they put so much time into each client. When you sign up you get an individualized fitness and nutrition plan (of course) but they also monitor your sleep and stress levels. As a student, I often don’t sleep more than 3-4 hours a night and I didn’t realize the impact that it was having on my body and my stress levels until I started at CMB gym. Also, I am a vegetarian and when Fernando made my nutrition plan, he completely worked around my diet and was so happy to do so! I am only 5 ½ weeks in and I have a much better sleeping schedule, my body is getting so much stronger, I’m eating foods that fill me up but don’t make me feel gross and bloated, and I have already lost over 4kg! Genuinely, such a nice place with incredibly nice people! Shoutout to Fernando, he is so patient with me and he really pushes my limits! Love this gym!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with so many trainers for a quick fix but this is my first time where I’m actually learning instead of just doing the motions and leaving the gym The trainers made me feel so comfortable in myself whilst training they listen but actually push you to better yourself caring about your physical and mental health The best money I’ve every spent

Fantastic experience: 100% recommend. I have been training with Lee for the past six months, three times a week. I joined CMB with the aim of increasing my fitness, to get stronger and to lose the weight that I had gained due to my sedentary/desk job lifestyle. Before CMB, I had never been a member of a gym and I was intimidated by the idea of ‘going it alone’. What makes CMB special is the personalised nature of the programme and how it focuses not only on your physical fitness but your overall wellbeing too. Lee and Darragh are the ultimate professionals whose passion for what they do enables them to build up their client’s strength and confidence. In CMB you will get the results you are looking for, so if you’re investing in yourself in 2020 then this is the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: I have been using CMB gym now for over a year and I have never felt better. Darragh knows exactly what suits me and has tailored a plan that suits me and my busy work and family schedule. Any questions I have he is always there to answer which I have found to be a great help as I sometimes feel myself drifting of plan. The gym also has a great atmosphere so I can't reccomend these guys enough... keep up the great work you've helped me turn my life around

Fantastic experience: This has been a fantastic experience. The gym has all the metal, rest assured. But what is really special here is the total experience, the one on one training and guidance, nutrition advice, sleep and stress magagement, and good vibes. Very much looking forward to my next sessions with Lee and building on the great work we've achieved so far. Thank you guys.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend CMB Gym more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When I started training with Lee I had poor eating habits, had little to no idea how to train effectively and lacked confidence. With Lee’s expertise and dedication I have not only achieved and exceeded my physical goals but have also improved my emotional resilience and general well-being. Both Lee and Darragh are a wealth of knowledge and they make coming into the CMB Gym a really comfortable and enjoyable experience. As somebody who used to dread walking into a gym only a few short months ago, training at CMB has now become my favourite part of the week!

Fantastic experience: Since training with Darragh I have been educated on so many different levels from nutrition to exercise. The importance of sleep and macros/ vitamins to proper recovery. The sessions are tough and intense but every step of the way you’re guided to the results you set out from the beginning. The atmosphere of support and motivation that Darragh and Lee have created for their clients really facilitates the development and growth. Although I could take what I’ve learned and continue my fitness journey solo, I’ve decided to invest in myself for another 12 week course with Darragh in the run up to Christmas. Would highly recommend! Best money I’ve spent this year! I can’t speak highly enough of how I feel physically and mentally since starting this health and fitness plan with the lads

Fantastic experience: I trained with Lee over a 12 week period and it was a great experience. Lee is the upmost professional and all the advice he gives is based on solid scientific backing. The team are great at keeping you motivated and have a very holistic approach making sure you are accountable to your goals. Over the past 12 weeks my fitness has improved immensely and I am stronger than I have every been. Cheers Lee!

Fantastic experience: I was looking to get into something to improve my overall fitness and well being. I had ignored my body for a few years while concentrating on business and family. I tried spinning and self training but I didn't have the motivation or the background to improve all aspects of my health. I needed help. I hesitantly met a few personal trainers and visited a few gyms around Dublin and wasn't convinced by anyone until I met Darragh. I dropped in for a meeting and he went through everything in a way that was both empathetic and very knowledgable - it wasn't just about the training or the food it was about the whole me. Darragh took everything into consideration and came up with a plan to suit me as an individual. He is instructing me step by step how and what to eat, exercise, supplement, sleep. 10 weeks later I honestly can say I have never felt better in my life; and this is just the start of the journey. I am in my forties with 4 young kids and run a software company and I have never felt less stressed and more energetic. I have even started clothes shopping. The gym on Fitzwilliam street is also a place where you like to be, the atmosphere is very friendly and the other trainers and customers you meet are great and very encouraging.Darragh and Lee run a great ship and one that improves your overall health not just your six-pack.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with excellent trainers. Worked with Lee who is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and a great motivator.

Fantastic experience: I began training with Lee in CMB gym 12 weeks ago, to state at the time of signing up to the 12-week program, my fitness level was in a bit of rut, is an understatement. From my initial consultation, it was apparent Lee was extremely knowledgeable, his approach to enable me to reach my goals, would include changes to nutrition, exercise and lifestyle. From a nutritional and lifestyle management review, Lee left no stone unturned, worked continuously with me over the 12 weeks, to ensure my nutritional goals reached, whilst providing continual guidance/tips to enable me to implement changes for improved recovery, sleep and stress management, whilst always available to address any questions I had during the process. During the 12-week program, I trained twice a week in CMB gym, each training session was meticulously planned by Lee, always challenging, whilst Lee ensured form/technique was to the forefront. Over the last 12 weeks, I have not just lost weight and improved fitness level but gained an invaluable understanding on nutrition and my eating habits, enabling me to keep on track and accountable of my calorie intake. CMB gym is great place to train, unlike commercial bigger gyms which can be quite daunting, CMB gym is the complete opposite, friendly and welcoming, with a client base of all ages and fitness levels. For anyone looking to make a change to their health and fitness lifestyle for the better, I cannot recommend Lee/ CMB Gym highly enough

Fantastic experience: Can't speak highly enough of the gym, facilities & most importantly the pt sessions. Always a good positive atmosphere which makes achieving your goals that bit more enjoyable. I have worked with both darragh & lee and would highly recommend both coaches. Thanks for the continued support and helping me reach amazing results

Fantastic experience: Since training in the CMB Gym I have gained huge improvements in my lifestyle, with knowledge of nutrition and strength training, increased confidence and overall wellbeing. From day one with Darragh, I had a trainer who took a real interest and a desire to help me with my fitness and poor diet, tailoring a personal plan and making sure I was always on track. A truly life changing experience!

Fantastic experience: I trained with daragh and under his experienced eye and diet programme I pretty much started to notice immediate results .the lads are so passionate about what they do and will guide you through what is a very tough but very rewarding couple of weeks ,it doesn't matter your lifestyle either they will accommodate you and make sure you get the best results possible . If you want guaranteed results give these boys a shout

Fantastic experience: I signed up for a 12-week programme at CMB gym. My previous attempts at getting properly fit had been disappointing. I found it difficult to sort out all the conflicting information about fitness that exists on the web, and other personal trainers I tried weren't able to give properly integrated advice about nutrition and lifestyle as well as exercise. CMB gym however has a system that really works: they offer a personalised and holistic programme and really bring attention to detail in all areas. Darragh and team have also created a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. My trainer was Lee, he was excellent. I was impressed by his depth of knowledge of fitness as well as his ability to motivate. Gym sessions with him were well designed, to be always challenging every week without becoming unmanageable. I also found myself much more ready to make lifestyle changes than I had expected (goodbye alcohol and scones). Overall, at the end of week 12 I'm really pleased with the progress I've made so far. I would definitely sign up for another programme with CMB gym. Thanks again to Lee. Niall Kennedy

Fantastic experience: Im finishing week 12 with Lee, this week. Wow. Its been fantastic. So many aspects of my life have been addressed. Dropping body fat was my primary goal, but in addition to that, we tackled how to manage stress levels, improving sleep quality, improving energy levels, which I learned were all key to achieving my main goal, which by the way, we nailed. Over the past 12 weeks, I don't think I have eaten so much, tasty, interesting, easy to prepare, highly nutritious food ever. Its been great. Even my family are on board. Lees approach to food, isn't based on some meal plan that's not sustainable. I certainly have no plans in the near future, to change anything about the way I've been eating over the past 12 weeks. As I said, the last 12 weeks, have been more than good, they've been brilliant and I'm really going to miss training in this gym with Lee. Especially the "Old man" music he played for my benefit. For anyone (like me) who, in the past, has tried all the diets, tried all the supplements, tried various programs, started with great intentions, to train on a Monday, only to keep it up for 10 days and then let your plans go by the wayside, the experience and outlook that you will gain in this gym is something you should think very hard about trying out. Thanks Lee. Its been a blast.

Fantastic experience: Having been training with Lee for 7 months, I can honestly say this has been the best gym experience I have had. Each training session is tailored to my goal, I am constantly motivated to more progress and more challenges that are beyond my expectation, and the results are amazing. Lee is a fantastic trainer, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, also very invested in helping my eating habits, stress level, sleep quality etc. Now I have gained 8kg muscle, eat regularly and healthy, and never felt better. Would highly recommend it!!

Fantastic experience: Like most guys out there I thought I knew what I was doing when going to the gym. That was until I came to see Darragh Hayes in The Cover Model Body Gym. It was unbelievable the difference he made in such a short period of time. He has changed my whole outlook on training and nutrition forever. - Luke Thomas, singer

Fantastic experience: I trained with Darragh at cmb personal training gym for 6 months. I had been training with different trainers previously and was unable to gain any muscle mass.After training with Darragh for 6 months I gained 4Kg muscle mass the insight & knowledge I gained from training at CMB Gym allowed me to continue to achieve great results. I will be forever grateful to Darragh and his gym for getting me in the best shape of my life I highly recommend CMB gym to anybody looking to get in great results and longevity.

Fantastic experience: Coming to train at CMB is one of the best investments I’ve made in my life. The approach taken to tend to your health is holistic, which is what immediately drew me to this gym. Sessions are tailored to your goals and body with a focus on achieving only the best results. When you train at CMB, you train as an athlete. You monitor your sleep, your diet, your mental and physical resilience. Each session is a chance to do better, to achieve more. You’re continuously given the opportunity to say yes to more challenge, more resistance, a chance at improvement, which is a great experience to take with you into your life outside of the gym. Wish I could give CMB 10 stars!

Fantastic experience: I started training in CMB 3 months ago and it has changed my life completely. With the help of Lee Hand I've gone from strength to strength and surpassed my own expectations. I've lost 9kg, sleep quality has drastically improved, diet is balanced but most importantly feeling confident and happy. Couldn't recommend enough what the guys are doing here and Lee in particular. He's a master of his trade and even better guy.

Fantastic experience: Started working with Darragh a couple of years ago. I was was over weight and as a consequence had very low self esteem and overall mood at an all time low. Straight away I started feeling better about myself and within two weeks I started to notice a change in body size. Within three months of working with Darragh I dropped 30 kgs. Darragh is a top class trainer who is extremely dedicated to his clients and who is constantly learning and perfecting his skills (fitness & nutrition) to help his clients achieve their goals. I would highly recommend Darragh to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. The trainers there are also pretty good and well experienced. I went there for 3 months and that was one of the best gym experiences I have every had. I was made to do variety of exercises. My diet, weight, sleep, mood was also tracked. I was a depressed individual when I first went to the gym. However , that totally changed within the first 2 weeks of me going there. My mood and my lifestyle totally changed along with my body structure. I recommend this Gym as the trainers are experienced and will analyze you and then set a proper workout plan. The only downside the price. Its a bit expensive but its worth every single euro.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend cmb personal training enough! I got more than hoped for from my time with Darragh not only did I get great results but the knowledge I gained about nutrition and how to properly train to get specific results will benefit me going far in the future. Apart from being a great place to help you reach your personal fitness goals I found everyone in cmb gym to genuinely be interested in there clients results. I still touch base with Darragh from time to time and he would not hesitate to answer and fitness questions I had long after I left the gym. From trying a few personal trainers before I joined cmb I can honestly say cmb is best in the business for so many reasons!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Darragh for just over 3 months now and it has been one of the best investments I have ever made. I was a bit anxious about starting at first as I had never done any kind of proper gym work before and have a history of injuries but as soon as I walked in the door that all went away. Darragh created a program specifically for my goals whilst being attentive to my injuries and weaknesses. At the same time he was constantly pushing my limitations which resulted in a noticeable increase in strength and muscle. Once my 12 week program was finished I immediately signed up for another 12 weeks! I have learned so much in terms of diet, nutrition, sleep, the importance of tracking what you eat and getting up and staying active throughout the day. My lifestyle has changed completely for the better. At the same time, it's such an enjoyable place to come, the craic with the lads is great, the tunes are banging and your training with likeminded people who all want to better themselves. If you are looking a for personal trainer I cannot recommend Darragh and CMB highly enough. If you listen to what they say and work hard you will see amazing results.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Darragh earlier this year and I have to say, it's the best decision, and investment in myself, that I've made this year. Darragh's holistic approach to training and nutrition is second to none and gets real results, with everything tailored to my own needs and goals. I would highly recommend Darragh and the team at the CMB Gym if you're looking for results!

Fantastic experience: I am a 53-year-old mother of three. I was overweight, my sleep was broken, and I was constantly tired. A friend recommended that I begin training with Ben, as he had had a great experience with him. With nothing to lose and a sense of hopeful curiosity I began training with Ben in May. It was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I have made in recent years. Ben had an instant impact on my life, the training sessions with him were intense but always possible. He made me feel capable and strong, while always being alert to my wellbeing. He taught me how to eat healthy (monitoring my food and water intake to ensure success) and provided a training program for me. As a result of this, I now weigh 10kg less, while achieving a more toned look. I now have so much more energy. I sleep 8 hours of unbroken sleep every night and feel rejuvenated in every facet of life. Ben is an amazing trainer, who is extremely knowledgeable of his craft and is highly understanding to his clients. For all the above reasons (and many more) I highly recommend him. You will certainly see results if you follow his guidance.

Fantastic experience: I went to Darragh at CMB with a few months to my wedding. Having put on a lot of weight in the past couple of years I had a lot of work to do. He focused my mind on losing body fat through weight training rather than extreme dieting and I ultimately lost 20lbs and 7% body fat. I enjoyed the focused weight training that is very measured and progressed week on week which was critical to my results. I have to admit I had many nights out and didn't stick to the eating plan strictly but I still did extremely well over the few months. I am pretty happy with my results and they can be seen clearly in the wedding photos! I'll continue my training with CMB as I know consistency is key!

Fantastic experience: I found the CMB gym incredibly beneficial over the 4 months i spent training there. Workouts were designed especially for the individual with their targets in mind. Darragh and Lee were both incredibly knowledgeable about your needs during a session and were always friendly faces when going to the gym. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with a world class trainer. Daragh is a true professional who genuinely cares for his clients. Great place, Great People, Great Results.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Darragh for the last five years and within that time I have turned my life around. You dont just go to the CMB gym to just lift weights or do a thousand burpees, you also go to get all the education you need for healthy lifestyle and well being. The coaches are all excellent in promoting the core principles of the gym. I cant thank you enough for teaching me lessons that will last a lifetime.

Fantastic experience: Lee was absolutely great to work with. He was always positive and motivating, and made sure I was staying on top of everything throughout the process. Lee was truly invested in my progress and I couldn’t have come as far as I have without his help. I’d recommend him and CMB Gym to anyone. Definitely going forward with better habits and a healthier lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: For anyone trying to achieve lasting and durable results, become fit and healthier and change your lifestyle for the better i would absolutely recommend Darragh Hayes and the team at CMB gym. Before i started working with Darragh i was overweight, had unhealthy eating and lifestyle habits and tons of excuses to do nothing about it. What i really needed was a structured approach that was tailored to my state of health and goals, proper nutrition guidance and above all discipline. That's exactly what Darragh Hayes has delivered. 6 months later the results have been stellar and i am in the best shape i've ever been in. In total i achieved: -12 kg drop in total body weight -14.2 kg pure fat loss -20% drop in fat percentage + 2.3 kg gain in muscle mass Along the way i've learnt so much about not only the techniques of the exercises but also nutrition and lifestyle that will benefit me to stay healthy in the long run. For anyone that wants to invest in themselves and their health, the CMB Gym is the best recommendation i could give!

Fantastic experience: I've been trying to gain weight on and off for the past 20 years, but I could never seem to get beyond 78kg for any length of time (I briefly hit 81kg for a few weeks last year but that was it). With Lee as a trainer, despite his dubious taste in music, I found after six weeks (possibly less - I can't recall), I was 83.5kg and a few weeks later I was nearly 85kg. This was both astonishing and wonderful, because I had decided that I was simply the type of person who just could not put on weight beyond a certain point. And this was in the absence of any supplements. My only regret is that work got pretty hectic and I had to cancel quite a few sessions, and then I had to move abroad. But my weight is still over 83kg and I intend to find a gym where I now live and at the very least maintain those gains. So in short: Lee achieved for me what, after twenty years of trying, I no longer believed was possible. That alone requires a five star review, but I should add that the gym was also a really pleasant place to go, because Lee and Darragh are so sound and normal, and (most of) their jokes are so funny. Plus I got to play my own music, so Lee benefited from that, I like to think. I'm just annoyed that I can no longer go and make even further gains in muscle mass and definition! So yeah: these guys are great.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Lee in CMB. I trained with him for 3 months, post pregnancy and C-section. I got fantastic results (down over 17 pounds). Training 3 times a week, Lee's encouragement was amazing, not just in my sessions, but throughout the week which kept me on track during a hectic time with a new baby. I enjoyed each training session, not just for the hard work but for the craic too. Great guys, great gym, happy and slimmer me!

Fantastic experience: I joined the CMB gym 2 months ago and i have loved every second. I was looking to gain muscle along with feeling healthier and happier. I have trained with Lee 3 times a week for the last 2 months and im extremely happy with the results so far. My strength levels have increased to where i didnt think i was capable of. Every session is a positive experience and Lee will provide the answer to any question asked and help with any problem. My lifestyle and attitude has completly changed since going to train with Lee. Im much more positive and look forward to working out instead of dreading it. Lee is the best at what he does and always available for any advice needed. Really would recommend it no matter what your goals are.

Fantastic experience: Delighted that I’ve joined up with Darragh and Lee in CMB. For years I had been going to the gym without any real direction / going for jogs etc for weight loss , without having any real results. Darragh has changed this up completely for me with an excellent food routine and weight programme. In the last 4 months, my diet has improved , I’m eating the correct stuff, I’ve lost fat and put on more muscle. I look and feel better. The best thing the lads have helped me with, which is something I hadn’t thought of before joining, was my mobility. My office jobs isn’t good for posture etc and the lads have definitely helped with this, I’m slowly getting better posture, core movements etc. I would highly recommend CMB if you’re sick of the same gym / aerobic routine and want to get proper results.

Fantastic experience: Honestly blown away buy these guys. If I could go every day, I would! (but I'd wreck Lee's head :) ) I've been training with Lee for over two months and can't see myself stopping any time soon! I've always played sports but never had a trainer like him and I've seen massive changes within a few weeks. There is literally nothing he doesn't know about sleep, diet, training, stress management and tailoring every aspect of your plan to you personally. He's going to get a big head so keeping it short and sweet. But genuinely, smashing it you two!

Fantastic experience: All started with a work medical where I realised I needed to change. I had joined a gym previously and using some classes and doing thing's myself it was clear my fitness levels were not getting better, and even possibly worse. With being 93kg and an unhealthy choresterol levels, amongst just feeling down and low about myself, I decided to give this a go. From day 1 I could see the attention to detail in the programme and how its personal for you, and learnt a lot more about the nutritional side. The progression has been astonishing and 12 weeks in I have a healthier choresterol, down nearly 12kg and feel so much better about myself and healthier (not only because I've been able to scrap my old clothes and go mad). I feel alot leaner, reduced my body fat, significantly reduced stress levels, improved my heart rate amongst other things. Initially signing up for 12 weeks I am still here. Cheers for all the help and assistance has to go to Lee Hand

Fantastic experience: The CMB Gym is the place in Dublin where you can find really professional but also very personal 1:1 personal coaching. Darragh Hayes and his team really try to understand each customer and tailor the training plans according to everyone's bodies, needs and goals! If you want to gain muscle, lose fat or just get fitter, they can do everything and really manage to get the results! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Hot boys

Fantastic experience: I started training at the end of 2017 with Darragh and I loved every minute of it! I am currently still training with him and it really is the highlight of the day after a long day of sitting at a desk from 9-6! We train 3 nights a week and is always flexible with days if I can't make it or have something coming up! Every part of me has improved, I've been thought not only how to get stronger and lift with better form but to also look behind the gym scenes with first class nutrition help and stopping bad eating habits! My sleep has also been improved over the past couple of months and is all round making me feel like more confident and comfortable throughout my day in my own body and clothes! I look forward to continuing training with Darragh and continuing to see great results!

Fantastic experience: After a long year of laziness and Health & Well-being deprivation, I started training with Darragh at the beginning of 2018. I had always trained growing up but between starting a new job, relationships, stress (and any other excuses) I had stopped completely for more than a year. I was nervous getting back into it. Darragh made the transition back into training three times a week a breeze but more importantly so much fun! Within two months I had my strength back through the roof, he had my own goals on track and helped me find fun in fitness again. He tackled my digestive problems, increased my calories to help me lose weight (yes you read that correctly!), and gave me tips and tricks for de-stressing and minding myself. I was in the fitness industry before so believe me when I say I know every type of Personal Trainer out there - you will not find better! He is awesome. P.S. You still have to put in the work for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I met Darragh about 6 years ago in 2012. I had been training for a while trying to get fit and in good shape but never seemed to get any good results. I met up with Darragh and we chatted and I felt confident that he could help me get what I wanted. He said he would “put his house on it” that 4 weeks would see me a big difference. After 2 weeks I saw a big difference and then 4 weeks was bigger. I trained with him 3 times a week for 7 weeks and saw incredible results. I currently live in Australia and train here and have gone to see different personal trainers but none of them can get me the same results the way I got with Darragh at CMB gym. I know I have to put in the effort myself but I feel the correct guidance and influence from your PT and when they believe in you like Darragh did with me makes all the difference. I do wish I could train with him again or wish he was here in Australia with me lol He has a heart of gold and made me believe in myself and that I could achieve what I wanted to get when I focus and push myself like we all can inside. He’s always there for me if I need to chat to him about training or other personal stuff. Just decide to train with him, do what he says, work hard and that’s it. Instant results guaranteed

Fantastic experience: I've known Darragh for many years and simply cannot recommend him highly enough. I achieved phenomenal results in a short period of time. Darragh got the best out of me and pushed me to my limits but was always thoughtful, considerable and understanding. The best compliment I can give him is that I keep going back for more

Fantastic experience: Like many others, I was looking for a fresh start for 2018 new year. I'd had enough of neglecting my health, fitness and body image and so signed up with Lee as my personal trainer. I'm 6 weeks into my programme and I already feel a much better human being. I'm stronger, I've reduced fat and gained muscle and my bum is more pert - exactly what I asked for! Additionally, I have control of my routine, my digestion improved and I feel achievement in my goals and new found confidence in my ability to train. Delighted with results so far and I look forward to progressing further as I continue to work with Lee. I'd definitely recommend the personal training at CMB Gym.

Fantastic experience: If you want to seriously transform your physique then Darragh and his team at CMB is the place for you. During the time I trained with Darragh I added about 5kg of muscle and I've taken many of the lessons that he taught me about training with me and still use them to this day.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of having Darragh and his amazing team at the Cover Model Body gym help me towards my goals for a period of time. Not only did they push me to believe in my abilities but they gave me the foundations I needed in order to mentally and physically better myself in the long run. I had an amazing experience with CMB gym and I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get started in bettering themselves.

Fantastic experience: The CMB Gym delivers the best fitness and personal training experience possible. Apart from visible results, Darragh and his team focus on continuous improvement of techniques and knowledge. Not only are they true experts in their field, Darragh and Lee are also simply great guys who care about their clients’ success. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone who’s serious about training!
