Most people don’t struggle in the gym because they’re lazy.

They struggle because everything sounds complicated.

Reps. Sets. Failure. RIR. Mechanical tension.
It can feel like you need a degree to start training.

You don’t.

You need:
• A simple plan
• Good coaching
• Consistency
• An environment where you don’t feel stupid

That’s it.

If you show up and train hard, the results take care of themselves.
We take the guesswork out. You focus on showing up. We handle the rest.

If you’re a complete beginner, or you’ve been away from training for a while, you’ll fit in here.

You should be sceptical of fitness online.
Honestly, you should.

Between filters, angles, lighting, fake timelines and outright lies, most of what you see isn’t real.

This is.

Same person.
Same gym.
Same camera.
Zero edits.

I’m not about that life.
I don’t need fake results to sell anything.

What changed wasn’t a secret plan or a magic workout.

A real calorie deficit.
Training that actually creates mechanical tension.
And consistency done properly, not when it suits.

No detoxes.
No hacks.
No pretending an app decides whether fat loss happens.

Your body does.

If you’re training hard and “eating well” but nothing is changing, something’s off.
And it’s usually simpler than you think.

These are our current class timetables for Rathcoole and Johnstown.

Early Morning, Mid-Morning, midday, evening and weekend options.

Most gyms will talk about results.
And yes, training works here. People get stronger. Fitter. More confident. Lose fat.

But the thing we care about most is the environment.

A place where beginners don’t feel stupid.
Where you’re supported on good weeks and bad ones.
Where coaches know your name and notice if you’re not around.

That’s the culture at CNF.
Always has been.

If you’re thinking about starting, or getting back into training, the Gold Card gives you access to all classes across both locations.

Details are in the app.

(Side note: just want to say a genuine thanks for all the support over the last few days. It meant more than I can put into words.)

I’m devastated to be writing this. Something I never thought I’d have to do.

I’m a very private person when it comes to myself and my family, but I felt I had to post this. The support from friends, family, and the wider community over the last few days has been unbelievable. I genuinely cannot reply to everyone, but please know it has all been felt and appreciated more than I can say.

I’m heartbroken to share that my mam has passed away.

Anyone who knows me knows I’ve always been a mammy’s boy. I wore that badge with pride. Trying to put into words what she meant to me feels impossible. She was not only my mother, she was my best friend. We were incredibly close. She did everything for me. She always had my back, no matter what. Even when I was clearly in the wrong, she was still in my corner.

The bond we had was something special. I haven’t stopped crying since we got the news, and I don’t think I ever will. But that’s the price you pay for loving someone this much. Grief is simply the pain of a love that was enormous.

My baby daughter Nina was born three weeks ago. Even though she was my mam’s ninth grandchild, she was completely besotted with her. She saw her every day. This photo is the one I sent anytime anyone asked about the baby. It’s my favourite picture I’ve ever taken, and one I’ll treasure forever.

The word legend gets thrown around far too easily these days, but anyone who knew my mam knows it’s the only word that fits Pamela Crookes. She wasn’t only my mam. She was a mammy to half the parish. If you knew her, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.

Her funeral takes place on Monday at 11am in Rathcoole Church, followed by burial in Saggart. The gyms will be closed on Monday.

Ma, I promise to live every day in a way that would make you proud. I love you more than I could ever explain.

Forever your mammy’s boy 🤍

Weekly weigh ins aren’t discipline.
They’re guesswork.

One number. One day.
Influenced by salt, stress, sleep, training and whatever you ate the night before.

So you panic.
Or celebrate.
And neither tells you a thing about fat loss.

If you’re going to use the scale, use it properly.
Same time. Every morning.
After the toilet. Before food.
Look at the weekly trend, not the daily noise.

And if the scale wrecks your head?
Bin it.
Use photos, measurements, strength and energy instead.

Daily weigh ins or none at all.
Weekly weigh ins sit in no man’s land.

If fat loss feels confusing, it shouldn’t.
Structure beats motivation every time.

Want free daily fat loss advice emailed to you that actually makes this stuff simple?

Dm me FAT LOSS and I’ll send it on.

They all thought the same thing.

“I’m too far gone.”
“I’ll fall off again.”
“I’m not built for gyms.”
“I’ve already tried everything.”

None of that was true.

They didn’t need more motivation.
They needed a plan that actually fit their life and someone to guide them through it.

No pressure.
No judgement.
No pretending you have to be perfect from day one.

If you see yourself in these photos, you’re not the problem.

I’m not a mental health expert.
I’m not a therapist.
And I definitely don’t have everything figured out.

This is only what I’ve seen with hundreds of clients and what I feel myself.

Someone said to me today,
“Even if training never changed my body, I’d still do it because of how it makes me feel.”

And I was like… yeah. That’s exactly it.

It’s something I figured out myself when I was a kid.
I didn’t have words for it back then, but I knew it.
When I trained hard, my head was better.
When I didn’t, everything felt a bit off. It’s the main reason I ever became a trainer in the first place

And now I see the exact same thing every day in the gym.
Not even an age thing.
More a people thing.

You can actually watch it happen.
People show up, they train consistently, and their head changes before their body does.
They’re calmer. More confident. More level.

That’s the mad part.
It’s the exact same feeling I had years ago, I just see it playing out in other people now.

The physical results are great, obviously.
But the mental side is the real reason I keep showing up.

If you train, you already know what I mean.

If you’re not currently training but would like to start we would love to see your name pop up on our app so we can show you what you the ropes
So you can experience this for yourself
