Ian Keohan Coaching: Opinions

David Phelan 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have know Ian for some time now. He is and an excellent coach. However, his skills go far beyond personal training and physical coaching. His ability to listen and understand the personality within the person is unique and difficult to find in this crazy world. He has seen it all in terms of life experiences and draws from those experiences to impower his clients. If you do engage with Ian you will receive a program that will be unique to you and he will see to it that you achieve your objectives.

Very easy to deal with and I would highly recommend Ian if you are looking to just get fit or take on fitness at a really serious level.

John O' Brien 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Ian’s gym since it opened and it was the best thing I ever did, I have never had an experience in a gym with such a welcoming atmosphere and an experience with a coach as genuine as dedicated to his clients, that practices what he preaches and leads by example. Ian is one of the few left that I feel is in this industry for the right reasons who genuinely wants to help as many people as he can which you can see from every interaction you have with him, every motivational voice note, every social media post, every group he starts up. He has helped me massively over the last few years both in and out of the gym and I couldn’t thank him enough, and I’m not done yet, I just had a son 4 weeks ago and want to get back to the best version of me I can be for him and Ian is the man to help me do that, that’s the reason why if anyone says they are thinking of signing up with a coach the first words out of my mouth are “go to Ian Keohan” - John O Brien

Ah, thanks a million John for the review! Delighted to hear how my approach has made a difference during your time at the gym. And I appreciate you spreading the word!

Chloe 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Ian with a big goal of doing a photoshoot a few months ago which I recently completed and I was very happy with the result. I would highly recommend Ian to anyone who is serious about making a lifestyle change and needs guidance. His passion for helping others push themselves through fitness is clearly seen and the good vibes and energy you get from being around him. At times I felt like I was the only client as he always made time to reply to messages, voice notes or questions asap.

Jay Kelly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Cannot speak highly enough of Ian and what he’s done for me since joining him last year I contacted Ian and told him the goal I had In mind and the time frame I needed to do it in and there was zero hesitation in his response telling me I could do it without a doubt with his help and he’d get me there as long as I willing to put in the work on my end. I wanted to do a photoshoot before I turned 40 in February but we hit a huge bump in the road during my prep just before Xmas when I was going to give up but Ian knew how much it meant to me to get this done I needed to get that box ticked it was beyond huge for me so he wasn’t having any of my talk of quitting we sat and chatted and thanks to him I continued on and to say I was ecstatic come photoshoot day Is an understatement a huge personal goal accomplished what a feeling…I say ian goes above and beyond I mean it the only time I could train due to work and family commitments was 5am in the morning so he facilitated me and trained with me 4 mornings a week at 5am even though his schedule was chaotic he knew how much it meant to me so made it happen even at his own personal expense..I have learned so much from Ian and training with him not just about the physical aspects of the gym but also what it does for the mind I feel it’s a privilege to get up everyday now and go to the gym and not a chore like before although I had been in a gym for a couple of years before I joined Ian I truly feel my love of working out now has only come about since joining alpha fitness. Ian has created a wonderful safe kind non judgmental space where you just feel at ease when you walk through the doors a place where your celebrated for the wins no matter how big or small and a place where every members your supporter and that is rare. Ian’s a legend and the best at what he does and I can’t wait to continue my fitness journey under his guidance.

Ian Keohan Coaching
Ian Keohan Coaching

It has been a pleasure working with you, Jay! Even at 5am every morning And its great to hear you no longer see hitting the gym as a chore. That's huge! As you know, I'm not into quick fixes. It's really all about changing habits and making your fitness sustainable and enjoyable.

Jamie Coady 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went to Ian 5 years ago at 115kg. I couldn’t run or do much physical activities and felt the worse I ever did about my appearance , within the first six months I was down to 85kg feeling the best I ever did going from XXL to M was a goal for me as I always would be pulling at my tops thinking people would be saying thing about my weight, but apart from that my fitness levels went through the roof I could run 5km without any issue and eventually moved to half marathons along with doing other various events with the gym I taught I’d never do. Fast forward 5 years I’m still with Ian with a healthier mindset making better choices daily and I couldn’t have done that without Ian his passion to getting people to get to where they want to be is next to none. He always been there when I needed him. On another note the experience in Ian’s gym is unbelievable it’s like a family you can go in a workout without a care in the world compared to your normal commercial gym. If I was to recommend anyone to get you to your goal Ian is your man

Ian Keohan Coaching
Ian Keohan Coaching

Thanks so much, Jamie. Dropping 30kg in 6 months is amazing progress, fair play to you for putting in the work and staying committed. I can help guide you but ultimately it's all up to you and you really took on the challenge. Delighted to hear you enjoy the atmosphere in the gym as well, that family feel is what I'm always aiming for. Thanks again!

Dora delaney 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I began my journey at Alpha fitness, with Ian in May of 2023. I was overweight and very unhappy in myself after having my second child and just piling on the pounds. At 5 foot nothing I was almost 15 stone. I had no energy and my diet was pure rubbish. I was miserable and Id given up on myself.Ian gave me a diet and a work out programme to follow to achieve my specific goals that we had discuss. He made me feel that anything was attainable once I put in the work. I didnt know it then but my whole life changed that day. I embarked on not just a phyisical journey but my own personal journey of healing, self love, discipline and personal growth. I fell in love with that great feeling after a weight session but I wont lie, they were many challenges along the way. Between work and family life I had to find the balance and make myself a priority which I had never really done before. I made excuses at times when I just got lazy. Ian was blunt when he had to be and he reminded me of my goals and the reason I came to him. Although I didnt appreciate it much at the time; I am very greatful to him now that he called me out when I made excuses. He never gave up on me and kept driving me on. Ive lost 3 and half stone and I have a photoshoot booked for March which I am in preperation for now. Im so much happier now and my moods have improved massively. Im so much more confident and that person I was a year ago is long gone. Onwards and uowards, the sky is the limit. If you want to make serious changes in your lifestyle Ian is your man. It all starts with you.

Amy Morgan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It’s easy to sit here and give someone 5 stars regardless if they genuinely deserve it but for me there isn’t enough stars to give Ian! I can honestly say from day one when I contacted Ian and stepped inside his gym it’s been such an enjoyable experience. Ian has a passion for what he does it speaks volumes about the type of person he is . A coach, agony aunt and a friend ! Myself belief in myself since signing up with Ian has sky rocketed. He pushes you outside of your comfort zone ensuring you reach your full potential.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Ian as a coach. I’ve tried many different gyms and coaches over the years and I can honestly say Ian is one of the best. He has plenty of knowledge and always there to offer advice if you’re struggling with nutrition etc. The gym is very welcoming and a great atmosphere. I really enjoy going to every session and can feel myself getting much fitter and stronger thanks to Ian.

Kevin Butler 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I worked with Ian from all sides of coaching. 1 on 1 1 on 2 Small groups And team sessions I can safely say I wouldn't look past Ian and would highly recommend him. His positive, energetic, love for health and fitness comes out in his personal training and it's contagious the minute you do your first session with him. His work rate is somting out of this world and he will allways have time for you the client he is genuinly only a text or phone call away. The gym itself I probably the best PT gym I've come across. The free weights, machine weights, the cardiovascular machines all top spec. Ian is, no matter what there to lend a hand, very approcable fella and has the clients goals at interest. He practices what he preaches and that too is contagious.

Fantastic experience: Ian is the best coach I have ever worked with. He is an excellent communicator with a deep knowledge on training nutrition and mindset. He’s got a very down-to-earth personality and just keeps everything very simple and clear. Nothing is too complicated and he explains the reasons why behind your every action. I put on muscle and lost 10 pounds of unwanted fat from working with him and got in the best shape of my life for my wedding. I would highly recommend him to anyone regardless of your goals.
