𝐈𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞?
A question I’ve been getting a lot recently. And something I thought I’d publicly address today with a post.
The answer? No. Although a lot of my work is now online & has been since the dreaded ‘C’ word changed a lot of things.
My online coaching really took shape in the last 18 months but I am very much still a ‘personal’ trainer as well. I often joke that I am much more than a coach - more like a councillor / friendly ear for those to vent lol. I actually enjoy listening to people & (hopefully) helping them with their problems.
I still thoroughly enjoy working on the gym floor & meeting new people whether that be in a group scenario or 1-1 and although I do post a lot of my online wins, availability as well as testimonials, I am still very much available to all, for all your personal training & group coaching needs.
With that, If you are looking to optimise your performance, change your body composition, take your game up a level, or just want to train & feel better - I can help! Do not hesitate to drop me a message with any questions or queries you may have!

Current online client, friend & teammate, Diarmuid Shiels, showing off his hard work & dedication to the process of the last few months.
Obviously a fellow hurler, our main focus was performance based S&C. He also had the added incentive of a holiday to Dubai so there was a larger emphasis on body composition & improving that simultaneously….a small bit of a headache lol. But nevertheless, we got to work and absolutely smashed both objectives!
An incredible set of results - Hats off Diarmuid…Get the win on Saturday then you can enjoy the holiday! 🙌🙌
Here’s what Diarmuid had to say about his experience working with me….

I have been working solely online with Jordan over the last 12 weeks. An important 12 weeks at that, leading into the most intense part of a GAA season, championship.
He came to me to get into the best possible shape, all the while maintaining athletic performance throughout as best he can. A real headache for me lol - ideally you would want to focus on one particular goal at any one time. Not two conflicting ones..but we got to work & definitely achieved both I think it was fair to say looking at the above photos…
Jordan looks after his own training & has laid unbelievable foundations over the last few years. We just needed to nail his nutrition. Once we got structure and fine tuned his diet, that’s really when the magic began to happen. A fantastic set of results Jordan - Incredible physique & athlete!
Here is what Jordan had to say about his experience working with me;

Current online client, friend & teammate, Breandan Quigley, now reaping the rewards of his hard work over the last number of months!
I have been working online with Breandan for the last number of months now, again focusing on performance based S&C, with the intention of improving performance, maximising recovery and staying injury free while we do it. We also had a slightly larger emphasis on body composition and ultimately, had to fine tune his nutrition as well in order to progress in the manner in which we did!
I say this all the time - training (for the majority), takes care of itself. It’s the nutrition aspect that is a lot harder to grasp for most. Once we got that under control using a sustainable, enjoyable, macro tracking approach, whilst still enjoying a few pints every now & then, the hard work & training began to show.
Here we are a few short months later; the lightest he’s been in years with over 6kg gone. Increased athleticism - fitter, faster, stronger & importantly, happier!
A serious set of results, with more to come no doubt! 🙌🙌

Nutrition has always been and always will be a massive interest of mine - and over the last 12 months I had the privilege to be involved with the BTN Practical academy.
The variety of topics covered and the depth in which those topics were explored were expertly delivered & researched based - Everything from sports nutrition, to PED’s, to the science behind nutrition coaching and also the psychological aspects associated with dieting were covered by experts in that specific area.
If you are thinking of undertaking a nutrition course, I could not recommend the BTN Academy enough. Time spent is more valuable than money spent & the last 12 months has equipped me with the knowledge that will enable me to help as many people as I can.
Nutrition Coach? Completed it...
