Since joining the gym I have gone on a different path. I’ve been looking after myself both physically and mentally in a way I’ve never done before and as a result I’ve really managed to achieve a lot of things. I do honestly think joining SDSC was the start of it all…It gave me a belief in myself.

I have been performing much better on the pitch recently. I am feeling fitter, stronger and totally on point. I have no doubt it is due to the hours put in at the gym. I really appreciate the work and patience Dave puts in it is all paying off in spades!

An avid GAA player I was devastated when injury caused me to hang up my boots much earlier than I had hoped. Joining SDSC was one of the best things I have done. Dave tailored every exercise to ensure I got strong without aggravating my old injuries. Prior to joining the gym, I could not squat my own body weight without having pain but within a few months I was squatting 70 kg pain free. SDSC not only improved by physical health but also gave me back the thing I missed most about GAA, that sense of training with your friends and having fun. I had tried joining commercial gyms after I finished GAA but I never continued with them. For me, the most important thing is to enjoy your training and look forward to going to the gym and that shone true in SDSC. I also recently had a baby and I'm 100% sure the strength I gained while training with Dave ensured I was able to stay fit during pregnancy and recover well after it. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough.

Testing at the end of the current bench block 🚀

Big improvements from everyone - especially in the past 2 weeks where the plan started to click and come together. Lots of great lifts and lessons from the last 4 weeks that we can take into the next block 💪🏻

I have to say the energy in the place was great the last week or so with the changes to the gym and everyone supporting and encouraging each other at the end of this block as well. I love seeing the progress everyone is making (not just in benching) and I’m excited for the coming months 🙌🏻

It’s that time of the year again! January is gone and Tour de Skierg starts today! Make sure to have your @concept2inc logbook set up and ErgData app downloaded in order to get on the leaderboard.

This week is the 5k ! You have until the 7th to get it done (and have multiple attempts if needed…)
...

Busy sessions to start the week, a solid start to the year… Indoor rowing championships done, January body composition challenge almost done and Tour de Skierg around the corner. Let’s keep the momentum going 🚀 ...

A big part of our success on the ergs is down to the time spent working on technique on Thursdays with Coach @nealisdeadly

This class is a lower intensity than Team Tuesday and a chance to build a base on each machine, looking at rates, splits and strategies. Suitable for ALL levels 👌🏻
...

Full day of resistance training today.

We are into the second half of our hypertrophy block this week, bring the reps of the main lifts back to 8 and increasing the weight on the last 3 weeks ⬆️
