Success Stories

”For 5 years, I worked out in a gym by myself. I would go and workout, and immediately after think, ‘what a great workout’. However, in reality, I was wrong. Almost by habit, I would use the same weights, same routines, no consistency, and changed absolutely nothing about how I looked. After 5 years of training by myself, I looked terrible. I felt unconfident about how I looked, I didn’t like how clothes fitted me, and I had no energy throughout the day.

I decided I needed to change, and I made a decision to seek help and hire a personal trainer, and that’s when the magic happened. I contacted Changing Rooms Personal Training. I chatted to Vinny over the phone. I told him I wanted help with my current exercise programme and nutrition. The phone call was followed up by a face to face meeting with Vinny at Changing Rooms, and after this, I signed up to a 12-week package of personal training. A personalized programme and nutritional plan were designed and we began exercising.

Vinny was amazing right from the start and I couldn’t have asked more from a personal trainer. He trained me 3 times per week and kept my step count high each day, monitored by my Fit Bit watch. As the weeks went on, I could feel myself getting stronger, leaner and my clothes were feeling tighter in all the right places. Soon I was getting compliments off my friends and work colleagues on how well I was looking and this made the training and new food plan, so much more fun.

Vinny regularly asked to be updated on my food for the day, and how I was feeling, etc… He kept me on my toes.

I now have a new level of confidence, so much more energy, no 3 pm slumps and I’m in the best shape of my life.

Because of the confidence in how I looked, I decided to do a photo shoot, which had always been a goal of mine. I can’t recommend Changing Rooms Personal Training and Vinny enough. If you are in any way thinking of taking steps to improve your health and shape, then I would definitely recommend contacting Vinny. You won’t look back. ”

“Vinny is possibly Ireland’s finest personal trainer. He is a consummate professional and really lives what he teaches. He is committed to getting results for his clients and doesn’t let things plateau. No two sessions are the same with Vinny if you’re someone who needs change and you’ll see immediate benefits to your fitness levels within a very short time. Vinny listens to his clients but challenges appropriately because sometimes a firm hand is what is required. He stays on top of all aspects of training, especially food which is the most important component to get right. He also stays on top of measurements and this is something that is often forgotten about. He’s top class on all aspects and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any level – professional athlete or a fitness novice.”

“I started going to Vinny about 12 months ago.  Twelve months later and delighted to say 4 stone lighter, have moved from a size 38 to 34.  I feel healthier, more energetic and happy with myself.  Vinny’s approach is highly effective and results became visibly obvious in a short time.  He is a wealth of nutrition and training advice.  I had been active in the past but this was a re education for me.  The one big surprise in my case was how easy it was with the correct diet and exercise with Vinny to loose the weight and to tone up.  This is down principally to Vinny.  Thanks Vinny!”

He provides an excellent training program and environment which has delivered real results. His focus is not just on training but also on diet where he gives great practical and importantly achievable solutions….Highly recommended.”

“I have been training for several years.  During that time, I used many different trainers.  The vast majority would give you a program and show you the correct technique.  It was useful to be able to go to the gym by yourself and work out. However, you might improve your fitness a little but you won’t get real results. The problem with these other trainers is that they never mention anything about diet, vitamins or supplements.  If you want to see real changes in your fitness level and your physique – you have to take a much higher approach. Its not an easy one since it requires radical changes to diet and nearly an avoidance of alcohol.  The thing about Vinny is that he actually knows what he is talking about and gives you far more than just a training session.  You can see the results that he measures frequently. Also because he is tracking your progress in such detail, it helps you be motivated to stay on track with diet / alcohol etc.  Training with Vinny is not for the faint hearted.  You lift weights far higher than you would on your own.  You also work at a much higher intensity.  I actually hate going to the gym, everything from packing the gym bag, to finding the parking, to the time it takes up.  When you are training with Vinny, its different. You have a committed appointment which you feel you have to keep. Once you are there, you don’t have to think about which exercises you have to do, in which order and at what weights, tempo or rest periods.  Vinny sorts all that out for you and keeps track of your progress.  Although I have only been training with Vinny for about two months, I can see a very noticeable improvement in my fitness level.  If you are prepared to put in the commitment and you really want results, then I think Vinny is one of the best trainers you will find.”
