SUCCESS STORIES FROM OUR MEMBERS
I was: 120kg, a smoker and could barely do 1.5km in a brisk walk without being breathless. October 2010 I was: 120kg, a smoker and could barely do 1.5km in a brisk walk without being breathless. May 2012 I was: 102.5kg. And I had a 13 minute baseline. Just started biking. And could barely play 90 minutes of medium intensity football. Now I am: 96.5 kg. I can run 400 meters in 1.30.

Which is a big deal for me. And I recently just broke my record for lifting more than my weight. Both in the dead lift and the back squat.

In truth I was extremely skeptical.
Crossfit for me began as a 2 month experiment but has now become a permanent part of my efforts to remain fit and healthy. Despite my ageing limbs, I’m competitive about my sport, am an active football and squash player and have been pretty injury free over the years!>> Read More
But a nagging muscle annoyance that turned into a six month injury lay-off preventing me from playing anything had me frustrated and inactive for the first time in my life 2 years ago. Physio, road running and prolonged rest just weren’t solving the problem. A friend recommended Crossfit Ireland so I decided to give it a go. I have never been interested in weights and could never see the point in gyms so in truth I was extremely skeptical.
However, I threw myself into it and five months after I started, I was back playing all the sports I enjoy and totally injury-free. I am now stronger than I’ve ever been in my life, am eating better, feel as healthy as I have ever felt and see crossfit now as a permanent part of just living well.
Thanks to all the Crossfit lads who are committed, professional and have helped me hugely.
Colm hasn’t a clue about sport though and thinks rugby is skillful which is hilarious.

At the beginning this gave my rather large Rugby jock ego a big kick in the you know wheres. Before I joined Crossfit Ireland I always thought that I was strong, fit and healthy. Boy was I wrong. Coming from a background of playing Rugby for over the past twenty years and doing weights on a regular basis I thought I was quite strong and could lift heavy weights. Then Will, Colm and James showed me the correct techniques to the lifts.

At the beginning this gave my rather large Rugby jock ego a big kick in the you know wheres. But after a while when things started to click and what the lads have said and showed me what to do all makes sense. My knees no longer ache when a squat because I drive my knees out instead of letting them collapse like I used to. My hips and shoulder etc don’t get half as stiff any more because I stretch and focus on my mobility more so than I used too. I now have pbs of 160KG for deadlift, 85kg for power clean and 85kg for Clean and Jerk and I look forward to setting more and then breaking them and setting new ones again.
Looking at things now I wish that I had found Crossfit Ireland years ago. It also helps that I have a wonderful wife that understands the importance of fitness and health. I am sure their are others out there who are in the same boat as me and have a young family. I want to make sure that when my son is older that I can go out to a Rugby field and kick a ball around with my son and not be out of breath.
Lads I look forward to continue to train with you in the future.
Thanks for everything so far.

Know the enemy, and know yourself.
An ancient nutrition coach from approximately 500 BC once wrote “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles”. …OK, it was actually Sun Tzu…and he was writing about The Art…
The Best Way to Cause a Strength Plateau
If there is one pervasive piece of self-sabotage that has caused more people to avoid getting stronger in the history of strength training than any other single factor, it is the following phrase: “I’m going to wait until it feels…
