You're already training hard. That isn't the problem.

Most of the athletes I speak to are putting the work in and getting nothing back for it. The training doesn't match the season, the food is guesswork, and nobody is checking whether any of it is actually working.

This is for you if
  • You play a sport and want to get bigger and stronger without losing speed
  • You're training around games, work or shifts and need a plan that flexes
  • You've tried free programmes and stalled
  • You want someone checking your lifts and your food every week
  • You're prepared to be told the truth about what you're doing wrong
This isn't for you if
  • You want a PDF and no contact
  • You're looking for the fastest possible shortcut
  • You won't log your training or your food
  • You want to negotiate the process before you've started it

What you actually get

  • Training built around your season

    Programmed in the app and adjusted as your fixtures, travel and workload change. In season and off season are not the same block.

  • Nutrition you can actually follow

    Calorie and protein targets with a meal structure that fits how you eat, not a plan you abandon in week two.

  • Weekly check-ins

    You submit Sunday. You get a full review back Monday with the changes for the week ahead and the reasoning behind them.

  • Daily accountability on WhatsApp

    Direct access. Questions answered the same day, not sat in a queue.

  • Technique feedback on video

    Send your lifts, get them broken down. Better positions mean more load and fewer injuries.

Your week, once you're in

The structure is the point. You always know what you're doing, and you always find out whether it worked.

Sunday

You submit

Weight, photos, training logs, steps and how the week actually felt.

Monday

You get your review

What moved, what didn't, and exactly what changes for the next seven days.

Every session

You train the plan

Sets, reps and loads in the app. Video uploads on the lifts that matter.

Every day

You stay accountable

Steps, water, sleep and sessions tracked. Message me when something gets in the way.

Nobody drifts into being in the best shape of their life.

What it looks like when it works

As someone who only does classes because I am utterly clueless and terrified of the gym floor, I really wanted a PT who could give me the confidence to get into the weights area. Ronan was able to do this and more. He made sure I was comfortable with every machine and how to use them. I have left every session having had fun but also with more confidence. 110% recommend.
Amy GomesWanted confidence on the gym floor
Ronan was brilliant from the onset, setting out a clear map through an exercise routine and diet programme. His recommendations of health tracking apps, daily check ins and encouragement helped a lot in keeping to my goals. Creating an environment of accountability and consistency was key, but without them my goals would not have been met.

Went to Ronan with a goal in mind to look good for my holiday. He provided me with everything I needed. Suited my needs as I didn't want to give up my social life completely. Very good to work with, great workout plan. Would highly recommend.

Great service, helped me transform my body ahead of my holiday. All programs were custom to my work and social life. Couldn't be happier with the results.

I coach the way I was coached.

I'm Ronan. I signed my first academy deal at 18 and made my Ireland debut the same year. Since then I've played at Huddersfield, York and Bradford, and I'm now with Northern Pride in the Queensland Cup.

Seven years in professional environments teaches you one thing above everything else: the plan matters far less than whether somebody is holding you to it. That is what you're paying for here.

I coach athletes who are good but not getting the return they should be, and people who want to train like an athlete even if they don't play. Everything I give you is something I've used on myself first.

Book a call

A straight 20 minute conversation about where you're at and whether I can help. No pitch deck, no pressure. If it isn't a fit I'll tell you on the call and point you somewhere better.

What we'll cover

  • Where you are now: training, food, sleep, sport
  • What's actually holding the result back
  • What the first 12 weeks would look like for you
  • Whether we're a fit, and what it costs
