Fitness Solutions Studio

Fitness Solutions runs a "SPIN CIRCUIT SYSTEM" that acts as a foundation to the various elements of the 5 classes it runs on its timetable.

Hi I am Darren ward and owner of fitness solutions. With 34 years in the leisure and fitness industry I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my current business of Fitness Solutions.

The first 17 years Of my career as well as training clients I managed leisure and fitness clubs in the Uk, Bahrain, Dubai and Ireland.

I have always taught fitness throughout my management career but also I was fortunate to have the opportunity to be involved managing many event likes concerts for Paul Young, Cliff Richard, Sister Sledge, Bryan Adams, Shaggy, Maxi Priest and DJ Sash as well as boxer Chris Eubanks comeback fight out of retirement in Dubai tennis stadium.

After arriving in Ireland I developed a new health and fitness club in Enfield, Co Meath before taking over managing The Standhouse hotel leisure centre in co Kildare.

I have trained many GAA teams since then including Clare senior footballers, Clare lady footballers, Doonbeg, lisseycasey, liscannor, Kilmhill, Doon and Na Piarsaigh(limerick) as well as many bootcamp and training weekends with county teams and club teams from other county's.

In 2008 I developed the Spin Circuit System you can experience in the Fitness Solutions classes today. It has evolved over the years and expanded again once I moved to the Fitness studio in Treacys West County Hotel Leisure centre.

Fitness solutions will keep evolving but one thing has always remained at the principal of what I do and thats keep things simple but interesting for your clients as i have seen over the years many complex or well marketed programmes that miss the basic principals and end up with few people getting results they were looking for.

“I started my road to a healthier me with the 28 Day Fatloss & Toning programme at Fitness Solutions. I have now lost 4.5 stone of weight and incredibly 4 stone of that weight was fat, plus, 28.5 inches off my whole body including 10 inches off my waistline alone. I would recommend the 28 Day Fatloss & Toning Programme to anyone who is serious about starting to change their health and body shape.” Ann Sanz, Ennis

ALL OUR CLASSES FOLLOW OUR UNIQUE "SPIN CIRCUIT SYSTEM" FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS. THE WORKOUTS VARY ACCORDING TO THE THEME GIVEN TO THE CLASS. REMEMBER ONE OF THE BEST FACTORS ABOUT OUR WORKOUT SYSYEM IS YOU WORK AT YOUR OWN PACE AND OWN LEVEL ON EACH EXERCISE.

As one of the popular class types on our timetable it comprises of a short intense class grouping a combination of exercises to maximise the energy output in the shortest space of time. The effectiveness of this class should not be underestimated because it's only 30 minutes long!!

This class is a very challenging one for all the important muscles involved in the core of the body. Integrated with the spinning it can be a nice effective workout to strengthen the core which, as most will know, is important to support movement with the major muscle groups and assists majorly with synergistical movement involving upper body in with lower body.

In these we push the spinning element a bit more than in the other classes. Spending more minutes on the bike while completing various positions and load levels makes this a bit more cardio. The circuits are combined of various larger and smaller muscle groups making this truly a whole body workout.
