Each requires their own needs and requirements to gain success. That’s why at Podiumfit we don’t do one size fits all in any of our services. Everything is tailored to the athletes fitness level, goals, budget and lifestyle so that they get the best out of their training, whether its setting individual training zones, diagnosing a muscle imbalance and setting corrective S&C to individual training plans, we’ve got you covered.

"Paddy was a coach on a warm weather training camp I attended a few years ago. When I decided to jump up from 70.3 to Full Ironman distance I decided to seek out Paddys coaching services. He has also helped me set PBs and medal in National Championships, Triathlon Irelands National Series and Ironman Dun Laoighaire 70.3. He is knowledgeable, understanding and realistic. He provides a customised training plan to suit your lifestyle, work and ability. I highly recommend Paddy to athletes of all abilities"

“ Paddy is an inspiring and enthusiastic coach! As an accomplished triathlete himself, he leads by example and motivates his athletes to progress and perform to the best of their ability. I joined Podiumfit as an injured club runner, novice cyclist and nervous swimmer. By following Paddy’s highly individualised, progressive, structured training plans I have been able to build the skills and confidence to enable me to achieve a marathon pb, complete a ½ Ironman and compete in a 5km open water swim. Not bad progress for one year! Thanks Paddy.”

“I've been with Paddy for 4 years & found him to be a very personable, straight talking and patient coach. His vast experience covers everything from nutrition to injury treatment and goal setting. My plans are individual to me, and as I work unpredictable hours he has been great at adjusting sessions to suit my time constraints. Most importantly he has helped me complete races I never thought possible & have total confidence in him getting me ready for future races.”
