Been going to Declan for 1-1 coaching in preparation for a 555km ultra cycle, as part of a 2 person team. With only a 12 week training window, Declan's structured training plan, involving cycle specific sessions, gym sessions and robustness routine brought me from virtually no prior cycle training to successfully completing the race. Equally important though was his focus on me developing the right mindset to complete an endurance event, given my lack of self belief. His commitment to helping me achieve my goal was evident throughout with his constant and random check-ins during training sessions away from the gym and during the race itself, which kept me consistently motivated. With the race over, we are now working on the next goal! Top coach, highly recommend!
Before working with Declan I would routinely develop pain in my lower back when doing weights or other exercises. We looked at my mechanics, pin pointed the issue and ways to counteract it re-occurring. Since our sessions I have had no lower back pain, which is such a relief. He also helped develop a specific programme to achieve my fitness goals. It made it very manageable and am now achieving gains that I never could have previously. Cannot recommend him highly enough!!
