The Fitness Lab Foxrock: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I started attending The Fitness Lab Foxrock about 5 months postpartum and I couldn’t recommend it more. Matt has created an environment that is so welcoming and supportive, he understands postnatal fitness and tailors the exercises to suit your needs. I have seen such a difference in my strength and stamina since starting the class and it has been really lovely to connect with other mums at the same time. I always feel great leaving the class and look forward to the next one. I highly recommend Matt’s classes to any one looking to get back into shape!
Fantastic experience: I started training with Matt in the Fitness Lab when my baby was 12 weeks old. Being able to bring my baby with me made exercise possible. Matt is amazing with babies. He stepped in to look after my baby on several occasions so I could focus on the exercises. Matt has created a fun, positive and supportive environment for all the mum’s in the group. I met so many amazing mum’s in the area. I can honestly say that it was one of the highlights of my maternity leave.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. Was an absolute pleasure!!!
Fantastic experience: I started with Matt 9 weeks after having my second baby. The sessions were tailored to my postpartum recovery and helped to build up my fitness levels again post baby. Matt is so friendly and a great trainer! Matt really helped me with different exercises and tailors it to what each person needs or wants to gain out of the sessions we have. He is so good at helping entertain the babies during the classes too when you are trying to get your workout done. The Fitness Lab has been a great way to get my exercise in with my baby too while also having good chats with other Mams in the area and Matt too. I would highly recommend Matt as a trainer!
Mate.... What a ledge!!! Your too kind!!!
Fantastic experience: I started training with Matt just after my second baby. I found the mum and baby classes great. I trained all the way through my third pregnancy which was brilliant and really helped on my recovery. I’m now back doing the small group classes twice a week. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking of joining up. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere which really helps me come on the days I don’t feel like it. 5 Stars
Thanks a mill Roisin...
Fantastic experience: I do small group personal training with Matt twice a week. I love the strength and conditioning and really feel the benefits. It’s really convenient for me and the gym is clean and equipment is great. Plenty of parking and the cafe upstairs is lovely. Matts motivational personality keeps me coming consistently. Well recommended!
Thanks a mill for the lovely review Amelia!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to The Fitness Lab for almost two years. I enjoy the mix of strength and conditioning classes. Not so much the assault bike haha. The atmosphere is great and Matt is always motivational regardless of your mood when you arrive .
Thanks for the lovely review Alvy
Fantastic experience: Training with Matt in the Foxrock Fitness Lab was great for me as part of my post partum journey. He created a fun, enjoyable and supportive environment for the Mum's in the group and it became an excellent network for meeting like minded Mum's where we could share tips and advice with one another. Having the opportunity to bring my baby to the gym made exercise possible!! And of course Matt is a parent himself too and was brilliant with my baby allowing me to train, enabling me to get back to my pre baby fitness No matter how little sleep I had, I always look forward to my sessions in the Lab and was a highlight for me during my maternity leave. Thanks Matt
Thanks so much Claire. Good luck with your return to work. Was an absolute pleasure
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend The Fitness Lab enough, it has been my favourite thing during mat leave! A great way to get back into fitness and chat to other like minded mums. Being able to bring baby too is so handy!
Thanks so much Sara Wolfe
Fantastic experience: I started with Matt 7 weeks post baby and it has genuinely been my saviour throughout the postpartum period. I don’t know how I would have fit in exercise without being able to bring my baby especially in the early days while breastfeeding. Classes are a max of 3 mums and each exercise is adapted to the specific person whether it be modified weight wise or changed completely if unsuitable. Matts explanation of exercises are clear and concise and he consistently corrects form which is something I see as invaluable in a trainer, especially postpartum when I really couldn’t figure out my arse from my elbow! As a father himself, Matt is amazing with kids and is not afraid to step in and give the buggy a rock if needed. No matter how little sleep has been had, I always look forward to my sessions in the Fitness Lab, the vibe is great and it is such a pick-me-up both mentally & physically. Matt has built a really great community for mums in the Foxrock area and I know I speak for all the mums when I say we are truly grateful!
Thank you so much for all the kindness Sophie. This was really lovely to hear. ❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Matt at The Fitness Lab since January and it is the best fitness class / environment I have ever been to. The small group sessions are great and sociable too. Matt takes the time to ensure you get the most out of the hour sessions and is passionate about improving technique and working towards personal goals. I would highly recommend this gym.
Thanks Kate, hope things are going well on your Singapore adventure!
Fantastic experience: Excellent !! A fantastic instructor with a really great set up. I couldn’t recommend Matt and the fitness lab enough
Thanks a mill An Marie
Fantastic experience: Going to the Fitness Lab for sessions twice per week was the highlight of maternity leave for me. It was fantastic getting my fitness back post partum and being able to bring my baby, who loved the gym too. Matt is fantastic!
Thanks a mill Sarah and great to have you back in again now!
Fantastic experience: I started training with Matt when my baby was 12 weeks old. Ive noticed huge improvements in my strength and cardio fitness already. Matt is wonderful with the babies so if my daughter is having an off day he can take her, which means i always get a great session done. I love the mix of HIIT and strength training. 5 stars!!
Thank you for the lovely review Aoibhinn
Fantastic experience: I do PT with Matt weekly and really enjoy the experience. Matt creates a fun programme of exercises each week with a mixture of strength and conditioning. I’ve learnt a lot since starting with Matt about building a well-rounded exercise programme and have noticed a huge improvement in my own fitness.
Thanks a mill Roisin
Fantastic experience: I am currently doing personal training with Matt. The gym is always super clean and ready to use on time. He has pushed me to work my hardest and never give up. I have now gained confidence to go to flyefit and feel comfortable and confident lifting and using all the machines. I really enjoy the range of exercises he does in the class and always completes a full body workout.
Cheers for this Lydia
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great atmosphere…. Totally recommend The Fitness Lab.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Fitness Lab with Matt for the past 5 months since having my baby and it’s been brilliant! The small group training is great and it is so handy to be able to get to classes with the baby when it’s impossible to find the time otherwise! Matt is a great PT, such a wealth of knowledge and it’s great training with other mums too! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at the fitness lab for 16 months, I love the small group personal training and the mixture of HIIT and resistance exercise. The small classes mean that you get the right amount of attention if just starting out Everyone is super friendly, the gym is clean and great location with loads of parking. Would highly recommend.
Thanks a mill for the great review Aoife
Fantastic experience: Have been training with Matt in the Fitness lab for 6 months now. 3 sessions a week and loving it. Every session is different and always great craic too. If you are looking to get in great shape and get results, you won’t do better than Matt and The Fitness Lab Foxrock!!
Cheers buddy always a pleasure
Fantastic experience: As a newcomer to strength training, I'm really enjoying Matt's classes. Alot is fit into 1 session, lots of variety and most importantly I'm feeling the benefits. Big bonus that I can bring baby with me.
Cheers Paula
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Matt for 8 years now. His new studio is great, loads of equipment and variety in our workouts. Recently I went from private PT sessions to small group training and love the atmosphere training with others. Definitely recommend The Fitness Lab!
Thanks Sarah

Thanks for the great review Lorna
Fantastic experience: Matt’s classes are not only effective and challenging, they are really enjoyable - I always feel great after them.
Cheers Moia, always a pleasure!
Fantastic experience: This gym has been a great find. Since joining the small group classes, I’ve been able to train at least twice a week with baby. They are always great sessions with plenty of chats with Matt & other moms. The classes are restricted to 3 moms which means you can get a proper workout without having to worry about baby. Matt is fantastic & tailors workouts to suit each person. Since having diastasis recti (ab separation) during pregnancy, I was worried about returning to any gym classes but Matt has been great & always ensures that I’m getting the most out of the sessions to help with recovery & strengthen core. Good workout, good laughs - 5 stars!
Thanks for the great review Alison

Fantastic experience: I've been doing the small group personal training classes for 3 months now and I love it. The class is always capped at a max of 4 so I feel I get the attention I'm after and Matt is always there to correct form and work on technique with me. Its a fun atmosphere and the girls I train with are really nice.

Fantastic experience: I look forward to every session. Matt will work with you to tailor your workouts and nutritional plan to hit your goals. Training in small groups is fun and informal, not like the big chain gyms. You don't have to deal with people slamming weights and the equipment is fantastic- in terms of range and cleanliness! Always sparkling.
