At BodyActive, whether it’s in the gym or online, our goal is to get people moving and get people smiling. We cater for ALL fitness levels and ALL ages. If you want a good workout and a bit of craic, join us you won’t regret it!

We also provide nutrition advice and lifestyle tips. We run approximately 25 -30 group classes per week, from early morning to late evenings. With personal training; we really focus on the client’s goals and support them right through their journey. All sessions are 40-45 mins long, full body workouts, improving the client’s strength, cardiovascular fitness and their overall well-being.

My experience with BodyActive is and was brilliant for getting back on track with my fitness, at the start of the year; I needed a change of lifestyle and needed help. I reached out and did the weight loss programme which was personal training as well as class training sessions. Great variety from cardio to spinning to strength. I met with Jonathan and we set out realistic goals for my weight loss through constant support and encouragement, I lost over 3 stone so I got to where I was fit enough to run a half marathon. Which was a big achievement from my starting fitness. Even with the pandemic BodyActive built an online support group with classes and advice. I would recommend it to anyone. Goals are achievable, it takes time and perseverance but with Jonathan and Sharon’s fitness classes it is possible! Constant journey with fitness with classes very enjoyable!.

I’ve been a member of Bodyactive for a few years now. I’ve loved attending the classes, particularly as there are many classes and times to choose from. I’ve never felt bored as the classes are constantly varied. Bodyactive moved online in line with Covid-19 protocols. This has been a fantastic resource for me and many others. I can complete the workouts at home and keep up my fitness. I look forward to each class and how good I feel afterwards.

I joined BodyActive last autumn with the aim of getting fitter and lose some weight, both of which I achieved.I loved the variety of classes and the encouragement given by both Jonathan and Sharon.There was little chance of getting bored of the classes as they kept changing the routines. Along came lockdown and we could no longer attend classes in the gym.BodyActive very kindly put live workouts online for several weeks FOR FREE.Personally speaking, these workouts became an important part of my routine and allowed me to maintain my level of fitness, but more importantly, they helped my mental well-being.There were days when it was hard to be positive about the new situation in the world and it would have been very easy to get down.However, I found by making myself do the workouts and sharing things with other BodyActive members that I didn’t lose heart.It felt as if we were there for each other even though a lot of us had never met each other!

At BodyActive, we really really care about our clients, from the moment they take the first step by reaching out to us, we come together make a plan and we are with them every step of their journey. We have created a great friendly community throughout West Cork both online and in the gym.

Yes we do, our class memberships are a continuous subscription, which you can cancel anytime, and you buy class packages if you don’t feel comfortable on signing up for our memberships.

No, we run kid fit classes, which is for 3rd to 6th class primary school students and we also have clients are over 70 years old so we cater for all ages.

After only 6 months I already feel the benefit to my overall wellbeing and feel the aging process slowing down significantly. From someone who hadn't done any exercises in over 3 years. Also great craic, fantastic coaches and lovely participants all round.

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience here in this training facility. I have been going to the group PT for 6 months now and every single session, I’m impressed by the coaches and their professionalism. Every person of every level can be catered to and you are always challenged in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Jonathan and team have done a great job in organising community events and bringing everyone together which is also an added bonus. I really enjoy seeing the same people at the sessions and getting to know everyone locally. Execellent investment in yourself if you’re wanting to have a consistent training routine that you’ll love. Would recommend 10/10.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of shadowing Sharon and Jonathan for a number of weeks as I looked to gain practical experience in the fitness industry. Not only were they both very helpful and accommodating with what classes and PT’s I shadowed I also got to see first hand why they are one of the most popular choices for fitness in West Cork not just Skibbereen. The knowledge and experience they have is second to none and most importantly is the ability to deliver it in a personable, relatable manner. Every day was full with regular clients for classes and PT’s which is a testament to the open, friendly environment that’s been created at body active! I couldn’t recommend both Jonathan and Sharon highly enough and wish them continued success!
