Pre Kids I Was Always Pretty Active
Pre Kids I was always pretty active with exercise but then like most people, my priorities changed once I became a Dad.
I found myself in my comfy zone thinking that the little exercise I was doing was enough. I believed that I didn’t have the time to fit exercise in anymore.My wife was attending a couple of sessions a week with Kieran and she finally convinced me to attend his week day bootcamp sessions and I have never looked back. I thoroughly enjoyed each session and rarely missed one, even getting up at 5.30am in the middle of winter to train outside wasn’t an issue.
I can still remember listening to Kieran, my wife and other bootcamp members talking about fun runs & triathlon events they had done.The triathlons appealed to me, but it was only really a thought.Finally Kieran and my wife talked me into giving a triathlon a go and sure enough I loved it.
I hadn’t swum a length of a swimming pool since school (over 25 years) but I was reasonably fit by now, so how hard could it be!!I went down to the local pool thinking I would smash out 20 laps. The 50 metre pool was full so jumped into the 25 meter pool. I did one lap and I was buggered. Long story short it took about 4 weeks before I could swim 1km without stopping. I did my first Tri, really enjoyed it and I am now onto my 4th.
I would recommend Kieran to anyone. He has a great training style and certainly knows his stuff, but most of all he gets to know you as a person, not just a client. He pushes you to set and achieve goals, not because it his job to do so, but because he wants you to be the best person you can be. Kieran has become a very good friend of ours and we have also made lifelong friends from people we have met in the group along the way.
There is so much I could say, but the best advice is just to go and attend one of his sessions – you will never look back.Just don’t say the ‘C’ word!
