Fantastic experience: It has been very helpful with my mobility issues, Thank you guys!

Derek Delaney 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: The Factory Fitness and Nutrition hit different to any other gyms I have been to previously. Sounds corny but they really do help you on the journey. Breaking down each exercise to help me connect my mind to the muscle. Actually being in the moment of the exercise as opposed to doing the exercise to get it done. Form is always observed by Matt,Merlin and Shane. I cannot recommend The Factory highly enough. A great energy and buzz around the Factory. If you are reading this review and trying to decide if its for you, take the chance. You won't regret it.

Paul Broderick 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Five years of stubborn calf strains and injuries gone. Matt tested, programmed, retested and fine-tuned until the plan was right. I’m stronger, pain-free and running better than ever. His load-vs-capacity approach just works. Grateful for the results, how I feel and at last enjoying to be back doing what I love.

The Factory Fitness and Nutrition

Thanks so much Paul! It’s been a pleasure working with you. Seeing you run pain free and doing what you love is exactly why we do what we do!

Gretta Kennedy 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I discovered - The Factory. After 8years of continuous back and knee injuries , I was unable to get back running without pain. I have now completed my 6th week of the 12 week one to one sessions with Matt and im happy to say im back running twice a week with no pain !! I currently follow my weekly plan that Matt has designed for me focusing on my weakest areas. Matt is excellent and is a great coach, time is taken to explain everything and make sure technique is correct. As well as getting stronger every week , I have also learned so much . I'm looking forward to the weeks and months ahead training at The Factory . I would recommend this gym to anyone who has any weaknesses / injuries or who want to make a change and get stronger and fitter. This is the place !!

The Factory Fitness and Nutrition

So proud of how far you’ve come—back running pain-free is huge! Excited for what’s ahead. You’re just getting started!

Annie Molloy 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: There are plenty of great personal trainers around but what sets Matt apart is his attention to detail and his understanding of functional movement.....he has the bigger picture in mind, always. If you want to work with someone who understands how to assess and design a programme individual to you and your body, knows how to optimally push you for progress and has a vision for how to achieve the goals you have, this is the gym. If you have legacy niggles or injuries, Matt is excellent for rehabilitation while also prophylactically ensuring other potential weaknesses are addressed, ones you might not realise you have! Matt welcomes all fitness levels, ages and really respects how important your particular goal is to you, championing you to a better quality of life. Personally, Matt has guided me back to fitness after having a baby so I could get strong enough to do a triathlon, addressed niggles that were stopping me from running and developed a rehab plan for me to recover from an injury following a car accident. This a gym that takes a holistic approach, has a friendly atmosphere, is professionally run to a high standard and well worth the investment for overall health and fitness.

The Factory Fitness and Nutrition

Anne Marie, really appreciate this, means the world. It’s been amazing to be part of your journey and see you come back stronger every time. So glad to have you with us at The Factory!

Claire Ryan 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Matt for many years. Since having two boys, my focus on functional strength has become more important than ever. I need to be at my best for the life I live, and with Matt’s precise individualised training and coaching, he has helped me move from a body in pain to a body that performs with ease.

Magda Podchul 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Top notch gym! I had huge lower back problem, slip discs, bulged discs you name it! I spoke with Matt, he run tests on me and in 3 months my back was solves as he found what was causing these issues. I am absolutely thrilled that i chose this gym, i am very anxious person and working out with groups was huge challenge for me! I passed that! Matt and his team are absolutely wonderful! The support they give on your journey its amazing!!

Thank you so much Magda, it means a lot. You’ve come so far, and it’s been amazing to see your progress, both physically and mentally. We’re lucky to have you at The Factory!

annette comerford 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined the Factory a couple of months ago , starting with 12 one to one sessions with Matt . I am 52 years old next birthday and have been running for the last 10 years approx . I am an average runner , far from super speedy . Since I started with Matt I have learnt so much about myself and what I can achieve and am capable of. Last weekend I ran the Solas 10km on Saturday in Dungarvan followed by the Solas 10km in Waterford on Sunday . I couldn't believe how powerful and strong I felt during the runs. I ran a PB. I felt so strong on the hilly part of the run Sunday.My pace on the hilly part was only 5 second per km slower than my pace on the flat part of the run .Apart from starting to be coached by Matt nothing else has changed in my life during the last few months . I absolutely 100% credit my success last weekend in the Solas runs to Matt .I am so excited about the changes and results I know I will experience during the next weeks and months with Matt and the Factory . I now look forward to being 52 years young next birthday I would highly , highly recommend Matt to anyone .

Meric Bakis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great spot for some real training. Both individual courses and group sessions are very well designed for beginner and advanced levels. The Coaches are doing their best. I definitely recommend for everyone in all ages.

Peter 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Factory Fitness is such a great gym - I’ve been a member for the last 9 months and find the team so helpful and supportive, they’re such skillful coaches. They tailor their training to suit everyone’s individual needs and follow up to make sure you’re hitting your goals. I couldn’t recommend them more.

John Purcell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training at The Factory for over 3 months now and to say that it has changed me for the better is an understatement. I am eating healthier, training more and sleeping a lot better since I started. The sessions are made a lot easier with the people involved and that includes the Coaches, who are always there to guide you on best practice while at the same time tailoring the exercises to suit you. I would highly recommend The Factory to anyone who wants to take that next step to a more sustainable and enjoyable way of training.

Megan Walsh 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I could not be more obsessed with the factory if I tried! Matt and the coaches are top class and although I was a confident gym goer prior to joining, everyday is still a school day in here. Every single day you are guaranteed to be pushed to become better both physically and mentally. But you can be sure you will laugh your way through also, as the vibes here are unmatched! Yes, the coaching here is top class and you can be sure that your growth is very important to the team but the factory is also much more than just a gym. It’s a very special community or dysfunctional family you could say. It starts as a gym class you go to in the evenings/mornings and quickly becomes the best hour of your day. I can honestly say I am being pushed to be the best I can be with regards to strength and fitness but have also made countless friends for life.

Fiona Corr 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Joining The Factory has been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, very unassuming yet well equipped. The trainers are amazing, really good at keeping up with individual interests, capabilities and progress. The other people there are friendly and there's a very relaxed vibe. If you want personalised training and you are like me and can't motivate yourself, this is the right place. I look forward to each session and I feel much stronger and energised after just a few months there!

Karen Fahy 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I began one-to-one training in the Factory 5 months ago. I started off with very little fitness & didn’t know where to start, but I knew I wanted to feel stronger. I was hesitant about joining a gym/going to group classes in case I’d give up after a few weeks or not feel able for some of the exercises, but all of the sessions at the Factory are pitched at my level or adapted for me, while still being challenging. I’ve never come away from a session feeling like I couldn’t do it, and I’m feeling stronger & more confident in my ability. The coaches are very encouraging & I’m really enjoying it. I would highly recommend The Factory!!

The Factory Fitness and Nutrition

Hey Karen! Your progress is exactly what we strive for at The Factory! We’re pumped to hear how the one-to-one training is working for you and that you’re feeling more confident in your abilities. Keep enjoying those sessions and thank you for the glowing recommendation! Matt

Fantastic experience: Truly amazing gym with exceptional facilities & coaches who truly care, motivate and are passionate about helping you progress at your own pace. As someone who had never set foot in a gym before I was a bit apprehensive but from the moment I spoke to Matt he put me at ease. Matt has really created an awesome atmosphere in his gym. The Factory has a really supportive & welcoming group of people and every single class is enjoyable. All the coaches are warm and welcoming with expert knowledge. Special mention to Aoife who is just top class and brings so much energy and enthusiasm to each class. The difference in my strength and fitness in a short time is amazing and I've enjoyed every session along the way. Highly recommend reaching out to Matt and joining this supportive and fun community!

Adele Walsh 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am almost 4 years with Matt at the team at the Factory. Their knowledge and guidance has helped me stay strong enough to handle the training needed to finish 4 sub 3 hour marathons in that time. What it also gives me however is the comfort of knowing I'm doing all I can to maintain/increase muscle mass and mobility as I edge ever closer to the half century mark! I would highly recommend The Factory to anyone that wants to take their strength and fitness to another level, but that also wants to live as old as they can, in the best physical condition they can! Plus, it's a shed-load of fun in there! The connections you make there are also a key component to a happy life down the line!

The Factory Fitness and Nutrition

Hi Adele, Wow, 4 years and 4 sub 3-hour marathons - that's incredible! Your dedication is an inspiration to all of us. We're thrilled to be a part of your journey towards strength, mobility, and those shed-loads of fun. Here's to many more years of fitness, friendship and success at The Factory! Matt

Diarmaid Crowley 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joined the Factory with the hope of getting a bit of activity in my life . Lose a belly and get some energy back, as I had been non active for years. Roll on 15 months, I am now fitter than I can ever remember, doing new sports that I never imagined I’d do, again, on the back of the Factory. Matt and Sorcha are a pleasure to know. Thumbs up to Aoife as well. They really have your best interest at heart. There are no ego’s in this gym. Everyone I have met since joining has the same ethos, to better themselves and help people around them. Can’t recommend it enough. If you’re the type of person who feels intimidated joining new gyms or classes - Don’t be -The factory is very welcoming, whether you’re into fitness or just a beginner, as I was . Will never look back.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Matt for over two years and in that time I have slowly reclaimed my strength and love of group training, which had been depleted. Matt and his colleague, Aoife are *consistently* professional, encouraging and provide first class instruction. The training programmes are well-designed and thought through: you will progressively gain strength and fitness without getting injured. The added bonus is that the entire community is very supportive and classes here are good fun. It's a great place to train and have a laugh while doing so. Highly recommend!

Stephen Hickey 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing functional fitness gym in Kilkenny. Matt it’s really helpful and friendly, and gives a really high level of personal coaching regardless of ability and tailored to your needs, and the variety in the training helps see real results. The Covid response was top class also with dedicated stations and equipment for everyone and the caps on class sizes put people at ease in a time of high stress. Also most importantly it is a really welcoming atmosphere for any new comers taking away any anxiety from walking in on your first day and making it easier to come back the next day!

Monica Duggan 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been with The Factory gym for six months and it has been the best training I have done in years. I started with personal training during Covid, working out from home. Once the gym reopened, I went back first for 2 days per week and had to increase to 4 to 5 days because I was enjoying it so much. Matt really knows his stuff. The functional fitness element is brilliant and feel I am reaching and exceeding my goals. Highly recommend.

Julie Raftice 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Matt has the kindest approach to functional fitness at any level of fitness. I’m so glad to be moving more freely, I’m much happier in myself & it’s a sense of achievement when Matt pushes you enough to accomplish things you didn’t know you could do! The gym is so clean & really on top of covid measures. I’m also doing the nutrition with Sorcha & im feeling much better in myself than I was earlier in the year. It’s the best thing I have done for myself. This is a great facility in Kilkenny

Fantastic experience: I am a member of the Factory Fitness and Nutrition in Kilkenny for the last three months now. From the first day I walked in the door it has been a very welcoming experience. Have been in a lot of gyms before and bar one other place they can be a very unsociable space…the Factory is a “ we care about you” place. Matt is a very knowledgeable coach who isn’t only interested in a clients goals but also in the person. The atmosphere is always a relaxing, encouraging, fun one to be in. The facilities are well spaced out which is great in these Covid times and the response to the virus is top notch. Plenty of hand sanitizer, cleaning after every class to the equipment, floors. Functional fitness is a great way to train as I personally gain the benefits…no lower back pain. Everyday tasks are made simpler without stiffness and soreness by training with the Factory’s methods. Nutrition is also looked at in the Factory and is key for my busy life schedule. Energy levels went to a place I never experienced before with the help of Sorcha…eating more without gaining weight and feeling, looking better. Both Matt and Sorcha are a constant with my goals…always there for the support. If it’s a 1 to 10 scale…The Factory is a 15!!

Fantastic experience: The first day i walked into the Factory i was greeted with a big smile and a warm welcome so straight away i was put at ease. I had being on my fitness journey for a while before i joined the factory but had come to a stage where the same excerise every day had got boring and i needed a new challange. I found the right place in the factory every day is something new no day is the same making excerise fun and exciting Matt is an excellent coach and makes sure he gives you the time to learn the technique and no matter how many times i asked matt to explain something to me he always did with ease. I was one of those people that would try anything to loose weight and the quicker the better which often involved not eating enough calories but after a chat with Sorcha she soon put a plan in place for me to help me with my nutrition i have never looked back i feel the healthiest i have being in years im eating plenty and enjoying excerise. I soon became part of the factory family and made some great friends. The best decision i have ever made for myself was to join the factory all you need to know about fitness and nutrition under one roof in a very safe environment

Fantastic experience: Matt and Sorcha are extremely supportive, friendly and approachable in everything that they do. I began my fitness journey with the Factory in June 2020 and I could not rate it highly enough. The classes are challenging and enjoyable. Matt creates a different class each day which ensures that our workouts are never boring or repetitive. From start to finish during each class, Matt is always there to help and improve on your form and gives you great tips and guidance on how to preform each movement correctly. Coach Matt is an extremely supportive mentor and is always available to offer advice and words of encouragement. Not only are the classes excellent, we have also built a great supportive community which makes you look forward to going to The Factory everyday. The Factory offers more than just a gym to workout in, it’s clients also have the opportunity to avail of a nutritionist to help in hitting your nutritional goals. Sorcha will assist and advise on how you can improve on your current habits with food and achieve your nutritional goals. Accountability and meal planning play a huge role in this. Sorcha offers a service that does not tell you what to eat but encourages you to make your own decisions that will enhance your nutritional habits for life. Everyone should be a member of this positive and friendly environment! You will never look back!

Fantastic experience: Matt and Sorcha are class acts. The classes at The Factory are brilliant. Every aspect of the class is to the highest standard- the warm up is perfectly suited to the work out and taps into your own mobility and flexibility. It’s all about injury prevention and ensuring you’re fully prepped to get the most out of the session. The main work out itself is always challenging but immensely enjoyable. You always feel you’re getting better once you’re finished the workout. But most importantly, it’s always so enjoyable. That enjoyment factor is created by coach Matt. He always has words of encouragement and guidance. As a coach he is the best I have ever experienced. He not only ensures that you enjoy the session but he is also the guiding light when it comes to technique and performing everything safely. His workouts are carefully planned, progressive and appeals to all levels of fitness. I’m lucky to be a member of The Factory and being part of a group of really positive and friendly people.
