“ I gave Shane a challenge of a short "off season" (if you can call it that..) to keep me sane and on track even through my own wedding, different social outings etc. Shifting down to 74.9kg from 102kg. Really thankful to have him in my corner and looking forward to having a productive offseason under his watch”
Conor Galgey, Strength & Conditioning Coach + Natural Bodybuilder
“ Shane helped me fulfil a lifelong dream of getting up on stage. I had got to that stage relaxed calm and Shane made me feel like I was ready for anything.”
Brendan Doyle, Pharmaceutical Engineer + Natural Bodybuilder
“Lost 20kg body fat and achieved the best physique I have ever had. Built much better habits and a consistent training and sleep routine which were a priority with my job which requires shift work. I learned so much under Shane - how to execute training better, how to manage volume and avoid plateauing. I was delighted with Shane’s service and more than likely will apply again in the future.”
Jack Rowsome, Bioprocessing specialist
“Working with Shane completely changed my life. When I started working with Shane I was going through a tough time & had got up to 130kg in body weight. From working with Shane in person to switching to online training through the pandemic, he helped me get down to 85kg which I'm still maintaining now nearly 2 years after reaching my goal. Would highly recommend working with Shane.”
Emmet Curtin, Marketing Officer
I've had struggles with food throughout my lifting career and would freak out when I'd see the scales go up, this would either lead me to not eating for hours or binge eating & often extreme cutting leading into competition.
My biggest worry when I signed up was the photos to be logged, insecurity over took my mind and I'd cringe each time I send images over! I also have a very busy schedule working full time, looking after 2 boys, a puppy and a needy husband 🤣 so fitting everything in on the plan was a concern!
The product of working with Shane is a more confident, leaner Louise.
I competed in a powerlifting competition in November and I honestly felt great, pulled together a 522.5kg total (7.5kgPb)
I recently done a photoshoot and the prep was slow but Shane also reassured me that I would kill it. I absolutely loved the shoot and felt super on the day. After this shoot I got the fire in my belly to lift at another comp later this year
If I hadn’t of signed up I’d be a retired powerlifter still struggling to refuelling my body with the right nutrition.
Louise Whelan, Recruitment & International Powerlifter
Working with Shane has been one of the most beneficial decisions I have made.
​
Since working together he helped me prep successfully for 2 powerlifting competitions, one where I broke a lifetimes goal of hitting 500 DOTS & a 280kg squat at 71kg body weight.
​
Between competitions he helped me get in my best shape ever for a photoshoot which is unlike anything I had ever done.
​
The weekly check ins with Shane were done in video format where you can watch him go through your check in sheet, it made it easy to understand everything he was going through & why each part of the process was important.
When the time came for my competition Shane even tuned in to watch on a livestream from Canada, although this has nothing to do my nutrition I think it showed the type of person he is and how much he cares about his clients achieving there goals when they work with him.
Noel Whelan, U74 Irish Powerlifting DOTS Holder
Prior to working with Shane, I was committed to competing in the u93kg weight class, but hadn't actioned a plan to achieve it.
​
I'd always been consistent with training and nutrition, but I knew that to be competitive, I'd need the right people in my corner.
My biggest struggle prior to working with Shane was creating a strategy for my weight cut. I'd course correct far too often and not allow diet changes to play out. My biggest concern prior to working with anyone is whether or not they will truly understand my needs & preferences. I vet coaches and advisors extensively before hiring.
Over the 6 months that Shane and I worked together, I qualified for Irish Powerlifting nationals and managed to place 3rd in my weight class & got a call up to the Irish International squad for Western Euros.
​
Our weight cut strategy allowed me to be adequately fuelled throughout the preparation for my competitions, and to be at my strongest on meet day.
Shane understood the type of athlete that I am; he's walked the walk. He gave me clear and concise instructions. He took care to make adjustments where necessary and freed up the mental bandwidth for me to focus on training hard.
Had a not signed up, there is a real possibility I could have not made weight for these competitions. I also doubt I'd have placed as well as I did without Shane's guidance.
Success leaves clues. Shane has a laundry list of receipts and proof that he's legitimate. If you're serious about making changes and getting a result, get onto him now before places fill up.
Very few coaches have the expertise and experience that Shane has. If you buy cheap, you'll buy twice. Any time I'm competing in a weight class, you best believe I'll have Shane in my corner.
