Fantastic experience: Dermo, helped me completely change my attitude toward fitness, I train 5/6 days a week without question. He helped me find the things I enjoy in fitness making the whole "going to the gym" not a slog. Also, I pretty much understand how to approach my food and calories without rigorously tracking them everyday

Fantastic experience: Been working with coach Dermo for over a year now and absolutely loving it. When I started coaching my goals were to become stronger, confident and learn how to do weight training properly. I had gym anxiety and no interest in going to the gym on my own. Dermo changed my mindset! I am feeling a lot stronger, more confident and I am finally going to the gym on my own, yay! His sessions are fun, informative and he always has an open ear. Thank you so much coach! *Thumbs uppp*

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of working with coach Dermo for the past three years, and my experience has been exceptional. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of fitness and an unwavering commitment to my goals. Dermo is not only knowledgeable about exercise techniques and nutrition but also incredibly supportive and motivating. He always took the time to trailer my workouts to fit my needs and consistently adjusted our sessions to ensure I was challenged and progressing. What stands out most is his ability to encourage me to have a positive body image mindset. Over the years, he has played a crucial role in helping me achieve my fitness goals and build healthier habits. I highly recommend Dermo to anyone looking for a dedicated trainer.

Fantastic experience: Dermo is an incredibly personable and knowledgeable trainer. His cheerful attitude makes training sessions so enjoyable. With his infectious Irish charm, he turns exercise into a fun experience. He strikes the perfect balance between pushing you and offering encouragement. He's also highly adaptable, making the most of the available materials and space, and tailoring sessions to our individual needs. Over our 8-week program, I've greatly benefited from his expertise. He continually enhances his knowledge and applies what he learns to his fitness programs and communications. I’ve signed up for so many more sessions that Dermo might start charging me rent!

stephanie futerman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started training with Dermo 3 months ago after years of inconsistency in the gym & trying different group classes - F45 etc. After only a few weeks I had the confidence to pick up heavy weights in the gym on my own which previously would have really intimidated me. I recommend Dermo to anyone looking to take fitness a bit more seriously - I’ve never been stronger and he is always so patient & encouraging on days where I may not be feeling my best.

Sharon Wills 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Spent 8+ years with chronic shoulder pain before I started training with Coach Dermo. I have worked with a number of trainers but none who actually tried to address my injury rather than just avoid it for fear of "worsening" the injury. Life-changing! Doing so many things I never thought I'd be able to do. Would recommend to anyone looking for a coach.

Diana Kay 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had personal trainers before, but they all followed a cookie-cutter template of "No excuses, no pain no gain" blah blah, which did not work for me. Diarmuid was recommended to me through word of mouth, so I thought I would give him a try. My initial plan was to have a PT for maybe 3-6 months, but Diarmuid is so good that I have been his client for almost 2 years now. My initial goal was just to be held accountable and to learn to lift properly, but through consistent training with Diarmuid, I have surpassed my goals in ways I didn't even know were possible. I lost 10 kg without ever intentionally dieting, my body composition has entirely changed, I can squat more than my body weight, do chin-ups, lift heavy, and feel incredibly confident in the gym - incredibly empowering for a woman. Dermo doesn't follow an "all or nothing" approach. I achieved all my fitness goals without sacrificing my lifestyle. If you want an empathic and knowledgeable coach who understands that sometimes you're going to come in hungover and that you are a human being, not a robot, and that sometimes you need kindness and understanding, then I cannot stress enough that Diarmuid is the coach for you. In a world full of "Fitness influencers" and self-proclaimed experts selling you snake oil, it can be overwhelming to know who the real deal is, but if you choose Diarmuid, it is highly unlikely you won't be disappointed, and you will achieve your goals.

Caroline Connolly 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Diarmuid for over a year now and I can honestly say it is the best investment I have ever made. He is extremely knowledgable, professional and supportive. He cares about his clients and always wants you to improve and succeed. He is always pushing me to be the best version of myself by offering tips on how to improve my habits and reach my goals both physically and mentally. He has thought me so much about my health and I can strongly say I would be lost without his support. If you are looking for a trainer who cares about your needs, Diarmuid is your person.

Jordan Gardner 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would have been lost without a trainer like dermo this past year! Lockdown has been tough for staying motivated and in shape but with dermos attention to detail and never ending support during the week I have managed to get myself in the best shape of my life even without having access to the gym all the time. His knowledge on the anatomy of the body and how it works along with the nutritional side of things has helped me know how to work smarter and not harder. I can’t wait to continue my training with the him. What a guy!

Shannen Singh 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Diarmuid last November after an almost full year of no gym and weight gain feeling very uncomfortable in my clothes and someone who was quiet confident in the gym I could not bring myself to go. From the start I always was so impressed of the detail and commitment he gave to me from nutrition, exercise and communication and always on the other side of the phone no matter how small the question was. I have been training for years and this is the first time I have learned about correct form and how to actually get the results I want from training and I have gained my confidence and strength back in the gym again. Diarmuid himself is so positive and motivating it’s refreshing and makes you want to keep going and not give up! Could not recommend highly enough!

I’ve lost 5kgs with him and have improved so much on my strength and fitness. He is extremely attentive and ensuring that my form is always correct, Diarmuid is always so encouraging also. I cannot thank him enough for all the help he has given me and could not recommend his business enough!

Laurat5606 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Diarmuid for about 5 months now and I can safely say he has helped me so much! I was 75kg starting with Diarmuid and currently sitting at 67kg..I go to Diarmuid 1-2 times a week and cannot believe the results I have seen! I used to feel weak from fad diets and couldn't understand why I wasn't losing weight.. I now live a very balanced life and cannot believe the results :) In my opinion, he is the best PT around. You can tell that Diarmuid has a true passion for what he does and he will work individually with a person to help them achieve their goals! I have never felt limited and I still enjoy my nights out.. he's helped me reach a balanced lifestyle and to be happy in my own skin! He's does all this with a big smile on his face and I look forward to the lols in every PT! Well done and keep up the fab work! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Diarmuid is a very professional coach and helps you achieve your fitness goals. He is very supportive and takes the time to get to know each of his clients individually. For someone who was very intimidated of a gym and lifting weights, I now love working out. I still enjoy my weekends out and also see progress. Diarmuid also has great communication and a good sense of humor so every session is filled with a laugh which empowers you to work harder.
