Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Mick for a couple of weeks now and he’s helped me push through what I thought I couldn’t do before myself he’s helped me understand training a lot more and I’d definitely recommend to anyone feeling a bit lost with their knowledge of training or for anyone even just looking for 1-1 training ⭐️

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Mick highly enough! Working with him has been an incredible experience. From day one, Mick took the time to understand my goals, strengths, and limitations, and crafted a program that was both challenging and achievable. Each session is well-structured and keeps me motivated and engaged. What I appreciate most is Mick’s deep knowledge of fitness and focus on proper form, which has helped me avoid injury and improve faster than I expected. Beyond just training, he genuinely cares about my progress and makes each session enjoyable. Thanks to Mick I’m stronger, fitter, and more confident than ever. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and results-driven personal trainer, Mick “Mam” Brennan is the best choice!

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Mick enough for reaching your personal training goals. Professional and friendly environment from the second you walk in the door.

Kristina Barry 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After having a load of kids, and my only regular exercise being a slow walk at toddler pace, I needed to get back to minding my myself and getting healthy. Mick came highly recommended for Personal Training, and I understand why. Every session is fun, but you do get a good workout in. Mick works with you to achieve your goals and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. I'm already seeing results and feeling so much better about myself. And the fact that his venue is private and not in a busy gym is a huge plus for me. 10/10, Absolute Fitness is absolutely fabulous

Fantastic experience: After 25 years of no fitness training of any sort and out of shape by miles I found myself in absoloute fitness . Hard to take first steps ,but mick is a Gent and extremely professional . Adapting execrises just for me , building a routine for me and the private space is super. A gym which has equipment to suit everyone at all levels of fitness. Personal and small group training in kilkenny does not get any better than this .

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Mick enough as a personal trainer. He is friendly, professional and approachable. I’ve never walked into a gym and felt comfortable before, but Mick is so supportive, nonjudgmental and positive that you can’t help but feel at ease and motivated at the same time. I leave every session feeling exhausted (in a good way!) and still excited for the next session. Thanks Mick!

Fantastic experience: I really couldn’t recommend absolute fitness enough! I’ve been trained by mick for over a year now and I really can’t say enough good things about him.

Fantastic experience: Mick at Absolute Fitness is a 5* personal trainer. He listens to what your goals are and works hard to help you achieve them. He's a great guy and really knows his stuff. I have worked out in the gym with Mick as well as via online training and have really enjoyed both. I have worked out in other gyms before and with other trainers but have never stuck with it. Mick's expertise and welcoming attitude certainly have made me stick with training this time. Mick motivates me to work hard through his encouragement and support.

Amanda Coughlan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started with Mick back In 2019 I was coming off the back of and injury and surgery. After being with other PTs I had not achieved what I wanted to achieve. When I first met with Mick, he sat with me and took a full history and wanted to know what I wanted to achieve and what sort of a time frame I thought I could achieve it in. Mick is a great PT but not only for the physical side he would also get to know his clients and know when the mental health might be stopping us making progress and this was very helpful when I had a few set backs and thought about packing it all In. The sessions are varied and challenging and it's not one programme for a long period of time Mick switches it up and educates you why he is doing this. I highly recommend Mick as he is very professional and has a passion for what he does.
