SMART Training: Opinions
Fantastic experience: My favourite place to train, atmosphere, attention to detail and good fun ☺️
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing gym! The personal attention to each client is impeccable. Ross is a great trainer and I always leave feeling good about myself. I would highly recommend Smart Trainjng to anyone who wants to get in shape !
Fantastic experience: Joined Smart Training thanks to a recommendation by a friend after I had two hip replacements. After just 4 months I’m a new man. When I started I could only haul myself upstairs with a handrail. Now I can freely go up and downstairs without the use of the handrail at all. In tandem with this I feel much fitter and look much better. The team here are great. They are patient, understanding and dedicated. They can tailor program just for you. Highly recommended
Thank you for your kind words David. Great to hear all your hard work is paying off. Well done. Great story so far.
Fantastic experience: Just finished the 30day kick starter. Really enjoyed the group sessions, they were just what I was looking for - fun, dynamic and tough but could go at my level. There’s a great atmosphere in the gym and times fit in with my lifestyle. I had never joined a gym before or done weights - always played sports and been active outdoors - so I was unsure about the whole thing. There’s good guidance about technique and nutrition. I’m delighted with progress I’ve made even in a short time and I really wanted to continue so have joined for the year. Genuine people and great training team who are approachable. Couldn’t ask for more.
Thanks for the kind words Jenni. Well done on all your results so far. Looking forward to helping you achieve more over the next year.
Fantastic experience: I have been a member for the last 2 years and I absolutely LOVE it ! The group sessions are great - never too crowded and people are very friendly, the trainers are amazing - they will adapt to your level and your needs. You will get great advice and support from everybody. It is a place where you will make friends along the way. Nothing compared to any other gym I have been to. Every session is worth it and it becomes a bit of an addiction. Highly recommend !
Thanks for the kind words Camille.
Fantastic experience: Started going to the gym here in December for their christmas bootcamp deal, and had to continue in January - really awesome trainers, great training sessions and friendly vibe!
Thanks for the review Callum.
Fantastic experience: Been going for past year to personal training sessions, can't recommend place enough, great bunch of lads. Are really good at setting the sessions at a level you're able for and build you up over time. Really sound lads and make going to the gym very enjoyable
Thanks for the kind words Stephen. Your results speak for themselves. Well done.
Fantastic experience: Just finished July bootcamp. Great classes & trainer. Will definitely be signing up
Thanks for the review Brian. Great to hear you enjoyed it.
Fantastic experience: Smart Training is a super gym! My sister and I joined as part of their 30 day kickstart programme - their semi-private classes provided an introduction to strength training and were a great way to learn the mechanics and movements of specific exercises. Later, I moved on to their Smart Zone classes which have a good buzz about them. There's something to suit every type of person, whatever their fitness level. I had lost fitness in the year before joining Smart Training but Jonny helped me to work exercise back into my routine in a structured and meaningful way. I have dropped body fat, gained muscle and most importantly feel healthier and more energised. Ken and John are great trainers, really professional and encouraging and they build a fab atmosphere within private and group sessions. Between the trainers and all the other members (who are open and friendly) - you never feel like you're on your own. Giving the 30 Kickstarter a go and deciding from there is a no brainer - so grab a sister/friend or join on your own and you definitely won't regret it.
Thanks for the kind words Clare and for allowing us be apart of your fitness journey
Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym for all kinds of people whether it's your first time at the gym or you're a seasoned expert. The team at SMART Training are kind, enthusiastic and funny and make you feel like a legend for having just stepped inside the door. The gym offers a range of group training and personal coaching options which suit a wide range of different people with different budgets. They have a pretty small team which is lovely because you get to know your trainers and build up a relationship with them. They have a realistic and down to earth attitude to getting fit and building strength which suited me. Not only did I lose body fat and get stronger while working out here but I felt that the coaching sessions helped me figure out why I was putting in all the effort and helped me to stay committed to the process long term. I travel a lot and the team were particularly great at working with my crazy schedule and helping me to figure out what worked for me. Thanks guys! :)
Great to be apart of your fitness journey Meabh. Well done on all of your results.
Fantastic experience: I joined SMART Training when I was in my 50s. I wanted to get back playing hockey after nearly a 10 year break! I had lost muscle mass, I was weak and as a result was easily injured. Last weekend, I played 160 mins of matches, injury free, and my recovery allowed me to be back in the gym for a tough workout! This is down to Ken & John working with me and what I want to achieve, working around my injuries, challenging me, encouraging me and still have some fun!! Thank you for getting me to where I am. I would achieved this without you. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words Rob. Well done on all your results.
Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of SMART training, the attention, focus and care given by Jonny and his team was first class. Joined SMART training in November when I was finished a long season of training and competing, lacking motivation as most would come cold dark winter mornings. The team took the time to understand my goals, injuries and imbalances to design a tailor made programme, what was amazing is how adaptable and response the trainers were when certain exercises aggravated old injuries, using creative targeted movements to work around injuries and work on the imbalances. I finished every session knowing I'd left everything I had in the gym, and itching to get back for the next session. The gym has a warm and friendly environment, ego free and a place where everyone is able to challenge themselves to their own limit. If in any doubt I recommend their 30day trial, you won't be disappointed. Andrew.
Thanks for the review Andrew. Great to be apart of your fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: I joined SMART Training a few months ago and already I am seeing fantastic results. Jonnie and the team are incredibly supportive and motivating, from ensuring you are doing the exercises correctly to providing top nutritional advice! The team take the time to get to know you, particularly regarding any old injuries and personal goals – HIGHLY recommend SMART Training! Maria
Thank you for the kind words Maria and well done on your results so far. Looking forward to helping you achieve more.
Fantastic experience: A brilliant place to train - the guys are so helpful and encouraging and before you know it you are managing to do things you wouldn't have been able for a few months earlier. Between training and nutrition advice it's a real win as it helps you completely overhauls your lifestyle. You can train around your schedule as well which really helps.
Thanks for the kind words Nicola. Well done on all your results so far.
Fantastic experience: I joined smart fitness after a thorough consultation with Jonny, he put all my fears of joining a gym to bed... the trainers here are so patient and knew my ability better than I did.. I feel stronger and healthier than I have ever done thanks to these guys!
Hi Denise, Thank you very much for your kind review.
Fantastic experience: After a number of years of joining different gyms, and failing to use them, a friend recommended Smart Training. I did the trial period, loved it, and have signed for the year. I have a number of ongoing, longstanding "niggles", and from day one the guys have listened and tailored a programme that enables me to train continuously. Because it's semi private, you get great coaching on any new exercises., so you know you are doing them right. The monthly monitoring sessions are fab for tracking progress and getting help with nutrition. Best of all, the guys make you work, but they make it fun. There's always a great atmosphere in the gym, and they are all very encouraging. I highly recommend Smart Training, best decision I made!
Thanks for the kind words Maureen. Well done on all your results to date. Keep it up.
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym for young and old. Since Starting in April I have gone from 24% Body Fat down to 16.5% which I still cant believe! The trainers are all really friendly and know how to get those extra few sets out of you. I had thought originally that I wanted to lose weight but they changed my mind and got me on track into putting on muscle instead, which has helped my BF % plummet! Looking forward to more results as I stay training with them. Would recommend this gym 100%
Hi John, Thanks for your kind words! Your results speak for how hard you have worked in out of the gym! Well done! Love having you a part of our litte SMART Training community.
Fantastic experience: I first started training with Smart Training in early June. This was my first experience of training with personal trainers and in general weight training and wasn't too sure whether it was the right fit for me. After arranging the free consultation with Jonny you immediately sense how determined he is to help achieve your short, medium and long term goals. With the help of John and Ken, the three lads design specific training programs for each client which are tailored to their specific goals. There is never two sessions which are the same and each session pushes you to your limit while still being able to have the odd laugh with the group.
Thanks for the great review Ian. Really appreciate your kind words! Well done on your results so far. More to come!
Fantastic experience: I joined Smart Training’s 30 Day Kickstart programme, back in June, as a newbie to the whole gym experience. The trainers Jonny, John and Ken went out of their way to educate me not only on the training side of things but also on my nutrition. Included in the programme, is a progress update at the end of each month whereby measurements are taken and goals are set. This is a great way of tracking your progress. The changes both physically and mentally have exceeded my expectations and as a result I have continued with SMART Training. The facilities are fantastic and I find the small classes are extremely beneficial. I cannot recommend SMART Training enough.
Thanks for the great review Ciara. Well done on your results so far. More to come :)
Fantastic experience: Great training and great trainers.
Thanks Ken.
Fantastic experience: Smart training provided me with a specific training plan suited to my own training habits and a diet sheet aimed at achieving my personal goals which I was able to take away and build around my work and family life. Once I committed, I found that I was achieving my goals quite quickly. The approach suited me as my lifestyle didn't lead to training at set times each day, I needed to plan my own training times but once I knew what I needed to fit into each week I was able to plan my training around other aspects of my life. The diet was simple to follow and contained a lot of foods I was already consuming so it didn't feel like a major sacrifice. With a little bit of planning it was easy to follow. Thanks for the little extra push guys, it's just what I needed.
Thanks for the kind words Darren. Glad to be apart of your fit was journey
Fantastic experience: The best fitness thing to happen in Dundrum. The focus on diet as well as fitness means results are a lot easier to achieve. I've tried their blog recipes which are great - you don't feel deprived and you're losing weight at the same time. The business is owned by an Irish international sports guy (hockey) who really cares about people achieving their weight loss goals. A really nice guy too which helps a lot - he has excellent communication skills. You can't ask for more....
Thanks for the great review
Fantastic experience: Excellent facility with a great personal service. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the review Evonne.
Fantastic experience: Not a conventional gym in any sense as you will not find tread mills, cross trainers or spinning rooms. What you do find however is a team of dedicated personal trainers who take time to introduce you to new techniques and who build a one-to-one relationship with each member. They hold monthly progress reviews and they are always available to answer any questions regarding nutrition, diet and training. Always very helpful and enthusiastic. Highly recommended.
Thanks for the review Derek.
Fantastic experience: I must say , I was a little bit nervous starting back training but I found the guys to be very supportive and highly motivating, I've been with Smart Training for 6 month now and enjoy every session . Special thanks to ken and Jon . Tina
Thank you for your kind words Tina.
Fantastic experience: As someone who struggles to find the motivation to go to a big, impersonal gym this place is perfect. It's a great place to reach your own training goals (be them big or small), get sound advice and meet a few friends along the way!
Thanks for your review Aoife.
Fantastic experience: I began my journey with Smart Training around 6 months ago. It is has been a game changer for me. I went initially as I was overweight, unfit & I have not hit a gym in a decade. I go to personal training in a group where there is a max of 3 people – all normal, not mega fitness freaks! 8 weeks in and I had shed 7KG in weight and reduced my waste size back from 37/38 to 34, changed my lifestyle & food habits and felt much more energetic. Johnny, Ken and John are just top class in every way and without them and Sarah who I email incessantly on food queries I would not have got this far as they have given me the support I needed. As a very busy person who works hard in a high pressure environment where time is not my friend Smart Fitness has worked really well for me. As I have times pre booked you just go (pre work hours), sessions are varied and good fun and the trainers watch me closely which is great cause even after 6 months I am still getting things wrong in the gym which proves to me that going to a gym on my own would have been a waste of time. I go twice a week for I hour each session and follow their food regime as well as I can – Not too difficult to do. 6 months on and I have held my new weight position (which was my aim), improved my fitness levels to no end and I feel great - I am also sharper at work too which is great. As I said at the outset this has been a game changer for me and I signed up for a year last week. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough.
Thanks for the great review Keith. You have completely changed your lifestyle and we are all delighted to have been apart of your journey so far. Onwards!
Fantastic experience: SMART Training provides each member with the full support and motivation required to meet your fitness goals. I had been struggling to fit the gym in with long working days and always had plenty of excuses why not to get off the couch. I like SMART Training because it is structured and challenging for members of all levels. As a member for over 2 years I still find the classes challenging and enjoyable - more importantly I am reaching my goals with the help of the excellent instructors (Scott and Jonny).
Thanks for the great review Jonny. Your always one to smash a good session.
Fantastic experience: I joined smart training a year and half ago and really have seen results. Training sessions adapted to my needs and consultation sessions monthly really keep me focused. I never bored as my sessions are always different and challenging! It part of my life now...
Thanks for the great review Diane. You have certainly changed over the last year. Well done
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Smart Training for about 2 years now and have to say that it's been a great experience. Jonny and his team of personal trainers are totally focused on helping you achieve your goals, without be preachy about it. Whether it's personal training or small group training classes, the atmosphere is always upbeat with great camaraderie and support among the members. The trainers are always on hand to help you out, whether it's tweaking your exercise plan, or giving nutrition advice - they have a regular blog with healthy recipes and food tips. Whether you are starting out on your fitness journey or an active athlete, I cannot recommend Smart Training high enough!
Thanks for the great review Sean. Without fail your always at sessions giving it socks. Keep it up
Fantastic experience: Smart Training Churchtown is a fantastic facility. Having that first consultation with Jonny was the best decision I ever made!! Jonny & Brendan are brilliant trainers who constantly encourage & motivate you to reach your goals. I cannot recommend Smart Training highly enough. 5 Stars for a 5 star facility!
Thanks for the great review Maria. You've come such a long way since you first started. Well done and keep pushing to achieve what you want
