OC Strength & Fitness (fighting fit momma)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic personal training, have been attending while pregnant, and Orla is just a wealth of information and experience. Makes you enjoy everys session.

Fantastic experience: I have only been training in ‘The Oc’ a short time but already I feel part of a family and wonderful group of strong women! Orla and the coaches are so passionate about what they do and they have created something very special!

Fantastic experience: Orla was recommended to me by a physio and I was very glad that I joined her classes earlier this year.  Orla is a fantastic trainer.  I hadn't been training in a while and I had lost a bit of my motivation to get back in to training. After the first class I could feel the buzz coming back that I used to get from training.  My strength improved considerably while I was training over the last few months. Orla has a very encouraging and supportive attitude and it's a very positive environment to train in. The classes are always varied so it never gets boring with the odd fun challenge thrown in. I have to take a step back from training at the moment but I fully intend to go back to classes as soon as I can. If you are looking for a trainer I highly recommend Orla.

Fantastic experience: Orla is a brilliant Personal Trainer who has given me confidence to go back training properly without injuring myself after having my first baby in March. I would really recommend the Postpartum Fundamentals course. The course is a great way to educate yourself and a lovely way to meet other mothers!

Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable class! I could feel my energy levels increasing and it was great to meet other new moms. It was a relief to hear that it is ok not to bounce back immediately after baby. And that factors like disrupted sleep, sick baby etc can influence how I approach exercise. I learned to listen to my body. By the end of the course, I felt more confident and have signed up for a weights course !

Fantastic experience: I started personal training with Orla 5 months postpartum. At this point I was struggling with prolapse issues and a long standing neck pain. Orla is so thorough in her initial assessment and really gets an understanding of what your goals are, which for myself were just getting back into a routine and not having as much discomfort or pain day to day. She can adapt any exercise depending on how your body feels on a particular day. Being a mom herself she understands all the good days and bad days that come with that too!! She is unbelievably enthusiastic about making a difference to her clients and will go out of her way to help you progress along the way. I couldn't recommend her enough

Fantastic experience: I was thrilled to find Orla and her fantastic app set up, which allowed me to train while pregnant and post partum. Orla had excellent knowledge and advice and I felt strong and supported throughout my training. Cannot recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Orla is just brilliant. She cares so much about her clients. I had been to specialists re:prolapse after 2nd big baby where surgery and physio was discussed. I love exercise but was struggling due to my issue. I went to Orla on a recommndation and after a few months the issues I experienced were gone. Next phase she was my PT to prepare for my wedding and she adapted my program and always came up with different plans. She is such a lovely person and I have recommended her to many x

Fantastic experience: I started my fitness journey with Orla in April 2019, when I was early post partum. Almost immediately she was able to spot my eagerness to train & to get back to my pre pregnancy training. I am fully confident in saying if it was not for her help & assistance and her fantastic “Fundamentals”, I would have caused myself injury. I have continued to train with Orla, both in her class & PT environments. One year on from starting PT with her, I am still learning something new each time I step into the gym with her. I can see visible progress in my self & what I can achieve. Orla’s fitness classes are second to none. The atmosphere is one of fun & fitness blended together, and could not be more inclusive. Orla is truly a one of a kind woman, who has created a fun, safe environment for women to train either solo or together. She always has an ear for her clients, and will join in on any “rants and bants” She never will resort to guilt or punitive tactics, and recognises that sometimes quite simply, life just gets in the way. If you are thinking of signing up to any of her programs, do it. You will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Orla Postpartum and I could not recommend her enough. She completely help with my return to running and weights training through a friendly graded approach. I recently completed a half marathon with no issues after struggling with 5km after Christmas. This is down to rehab and strength work I did with Orla. ‍♀️❤️
