Kah Siong Chong 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: After training with Mandalena (PT) for five months, my body is noticeably stronger and healthier, which has directly improved my performance in my sport. Her training sessions are engaging and custom-designed, and I really appreciate her professionalism, especially the openness to feedback. The investment is more than reasonable for the high quality of her training and knowledge.

Fantastic experience: I’m a gym newbie in my 30s and I’ve been attending regular sessions with Mandalena since early 2025. She made me feel comfortable from the very start, made sure that my form was right, and generally made the process a lot less intimidating than I thought it would be. Would highly recommend!

She’s incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and always tailors each session to suit my goals. Her attention to form and technique has made a huge difference, and she explains everything clearly so I actually understand what we’re doing and why. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress and makes fitness enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: The 5 months I spent training with Mark is one of the best things I’ve ever done for my health. From having never stepped inside a gym in my life to now training independently on my own - my experience at Body Buddies has been nothing short of transformational. Mark’s training plan for me was the perfect balance of accessible yet challenging, and it laid the foundations of good technique that I hope to keep building on. Towards the end of my training, Mark designed and coached me through tailored workouts that eased my worries about training independently. I’m the strongest and fittest version of myself to date - all thanks to my time at BodyBuddies! It's one of the best places to kickstart your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I was in Dublin for three months. During this stay I went to Body Buddies several times per week, Mark was my trainer. He did a great job! Mark has a huge knowledge from building muscles to nutrition, he covers everything. I learned a lot and am really happy with the progress I made and the changes in my body. He is motivating, communicates clearly and is very friendly. I had a really good time in the studio and will definitely go back whenever I am in Dublin.

Fantastic experience: We’ve been training as a couple with Mark twice a week since March 2025 — we’re in our mid-thirties, and it’s been a great experience. Training together is very convenient, and Mark does a fantastic job giving both of us individual attention during each session. He listens, adapts, and keeps it both focused and enjoyable. Personally, I’ve seen real progress. In about 3.5 months, I’ve lost around 3-4% of my body weight — mostly fat — while slightly increasing muscle mass. My hydration levels went up, visceral fat decreased, and my metabolic age improved by 5 years, according to the Tanita scan. Beyond the numbers, I feel stronger, healthier, more graceful, and just better in my body overall. The gym itself is central, clean, well-equipped, and has a friendly, supportive atmosphere. I really enjoy coming here and would absolutely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Attending Body Buddies for 4 months with trainer Mark and would highly recommend it for anyone considering personal training. I had been out of training for several years but Mark was able to ease me back into it. Convenient location in town and can always get parking close by. Also flexible with times which is great when trying to fit around work schedule. Anyone considering it - was given a free session to try it out which was helpful and no pressure was put on to sign up. Would highly recommend this training gym.

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Body Buddies is the place to be! Mark helped me build confidence, improve my posture during workouts, and get stronger. He’s incredibly patient, calm, and explains everything clearly. Joining his personal training sessions was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I now feel much more confident, and he even created a personalized training plan I can follow on my own at any gym. I’ll definitely be back – 10/10!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Mandalena for the last 7 months. She helped me to lose over 30Kg during this time. When training she knows what to do on each of the different stages and focus on safety first. She will help with the diet and any other doubt you have as well. On the gym itself, other trainers and people who trains here is super nice. Never felt judged or out of place. Would really recommend to book a consultation if you are thinking about it.

Fantastic experience: Great people running this little gem I've been working out for the past 10 years but felt stagnant in my progression. Did 12 sessions with Mark and have gotten great results! Not only were we able to fix my painful shoulder by working on my technique, but also increase my max lift considerably and I can see the results. Great banter during the sessions and genuin interest in my progression has been felt every session. I'll be back for more!

Fantastic experience: Mark is extremely knowledgeable, intelligent and interested in his field. He is abreast of all the latest thinking in the fitness world and also spends time considering how to best help his clients achieve their desired goals and keep everything interesting. This is a truly customised service. He is kind and understanding; there is nothing of the shouty sergeant-major or patronising expert about Mark and you are more likely to have a laugh with him than anything. Working with Mark to achieve strength and fitness is a pleasure – the sessions fly by and it is more like a form of therapy more than anything. As an older client, I really appreciate that Mark never makes me feel self conscious, fragile or out of place. He is prepared to push me but does not make me feel overwhelmed. He is also accommodating and good value for money. The gym itself is well equipped and yet homely, not scary or daunting. I highly recommend Mark and the body buddies gym.

John O'Donoghue 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best PT studios in Dublin hands down. I contacted Mark for 1:1 training sessions and following the initial consultation I knew Bodybuddies would be the right fit. I was introduced to Steve and I’ve been working with him for 5 months - he has a relentless focus on form and technique which I needed and very much value. We’ve been doing a lot of work correcting and working around a previous shoulder injury and Steve strikes a great balance between pushing me forward and ensuring I avoid further injury/setbacks. Bodybuddies is for you if you.. - want expert trainers at the top of their game - focused, high impact sessions, - want to improve your technique and form - need help realising a specific fitness goal It’s a really relaxed, no notions, atmosphere.

Crucially though, she made the sessions enjoyable and they flew by! Thanks again. I'll be back

She's flexible with her timings, and always tries to accommodate me when she can. Every week, I feel like I'm getting a little stronger and it's massively down to her!

Fantastic experience: Body Buddies is a deadly place to train. Mark is professional yet patient and understanding. He is knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Not only am I working on my health, I'm also receiving an education on how to breathe in training and how to work on my technique when strength training. I'm having a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this business to everyone. As a women in a bigger body, strength training in commercial gyms can be intimidating so it is lovely to arrive at a training session and not be nervous and be excited to get some work done! He works around my limitations but still somehow manages to push me. The attention to detail makes me feel more confident that I will remain injury free. When I'm trying to keep up with a class I had a tendency to do a move which wasn't in my capacity at the time leading to injury. Mark makes the training fun but also takes the time to figure out how I learn best. His training style rocks!

As for the gym itself, it’s in a great location and has all the facilities you need. Prices are very reasonable and I was even able to do trial before signing up. 10/10 would recommend

Owen McAndrew 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Body Buddies is the Best!! For my New Years resolution I told myself I needed to get back into shape. I started looking for a Personal Trainer because I didn't want to deal with the pushy, sales driven trainers at the gym. After doing some research I found Body Buddies Fitness and called Mark for a consultation. At the first meet I knew he was the trainer that was going to help me reach my goals. He was super personable, Very knowledgeable, and got me motivated and excited to start. The first session he introduced everything we needed for the workout (resistance bands, kettle ball, etc...) It took me a couple of sessions to get back into the groove of working out and he made sure to push and motivate me through it. I've been working with three times a week for about five months and the results are amazing!!I started out at 106 kg. and 24% body fat and now I'm at 94 kg. and 16.8% body fat and I feel abs!!! Also, he is very flexible with me if I need to reschedule or change the start time of our workouts. I definitely feel that Mark is one of the best In Personal Trainers in South Dublin. Thanks again Mark for helping me make fitness a part of my life!!

Fantastic experience: Using a personal trainer was the only thing I had never tried in my battle with weight. I am so lucky that Mark was available. His enthusiasm, knowledge and positivity has me looking forward for the first time in my life to exercise. I would have always been a clock watcher in the gym, dying for it to be over. This is not the case with Mark, he has me moving and using muscle I did not know exist. I am healthier mentally and physically. This is the first time in my fitness journey, I have not found an excuse to quit. We worked thru an foot injury and Mark kept inventing different way to work the rest of my body. Amazing his love for what he does.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Mark's classes a few times a week for a while now. The option to do a single 30 minute class or do two classes back-to-back is important for me as sometimes on days when I want to get some exercise in and have only a small window, the single class is perfect. On days when I have a bit more time, the back-to-back classes are a great way to get fit. Each class is different and hits different areas, with the tempo varying depending the exercise. All of this is carried out with everyone's well being in mind. The atmosphere in the gym is relaxed and friendly. Mark imparts great advice on training, posture, diet and approaches to moving better. I could not recommend Mark and the team at Body Buddies enough. COVID edit: Mark has been scheduling online classes 8-10 times a week which one can do easily from home with minimal equipment. It is all body weight exercises. The classes are excellent and tailored well for doing at home. If you cannot do one of the exercises, Mark will change it up for you so you can. They are also difficult, so one still feels the burn, the exhaustion, the pain...but it is so worth it.

Fantastic experience: Excellent classes, trainers and facilities. Good choice of workouts and time slots to choose from. Even booking and paying is made really easy. Highly recommend Body Buddies. Mark is such a dedicated Trainer and in recent months has provided amazing Zoom classes. He has managed to keep many of us going and keeps our energy up. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Mark is one of the best trainers I have trained with - it’s not just about reps and speed he makes sure your form and every aspect of the workout is right - and that your food etc is all helping meet your goals. Class sizes are great as he has time to give everyone attention. During lockdown offering classes over zoom that don’t need equipment has made sure we can all still work to stay mentally and physically fit!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great trainer in Mark. Simple but very effective circuits. Mark is a gentleman, understands your needs/ability and customised the exercises accordingly.

Fantastic experience: Mark is a star. I worked out with him in the past, and now I'm back to his gym. Very central location, Mark provides a very professional training, focusing in control, strength and posture. He also gave me some diet tips. I have health problems and I feel very confident training with bodybuddies.

Fantastic experience: I started exercising with Mark a month ago and I couldn't be happier with the results so far. He is very professional and pays a lot of attention to your posture and if you're doing the exercises correctly, always proving insightful info and advices. He also helped me building a meal plan and with shopping list tips. The location is also fantastic, right in the heart of Dublin. I can't recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: I love the place. Special kudos to Mark! Thanks to his approach even a person like me who has never been into sport actually enjoys the trainings and can’t wait to go there again! The things to highlight: - Mark pays maximum attention to the technique and correctness of the exercise execution - his approach is very personalized and professional - he knows well how to work with traumas. Personally I have 2 hernias and this is the first place after which I feel better, not worse - he is a great guy and a cool company! Body Buddies, YOU ROCK!!

Fantastic experience: I have had many gym memberships over the years - not any more. Body Buddies is by far the best I have experienced. Attention to detail, focus on doing things the right way, planned sessions, personal feedback, enthusiasm and most importantly, fun.... always delivered by friendly and driven trainers who push just the right amount.. I can't recommend the team and setting highly enough. Thanks guys...

Fantastic experience: Love everything about this class. Allows me to get my workout in at lunchtime. Mark is brilliant, small classes allows him to get to know everyone, know what areas they need to work on and knows how far to push. I feel stronger, less injury prone and better all round.
