After having an on and off relationship with exercise I joined Lorna Flood Fitness with the hope of gaining a more consistent routine. Since joining in February, I have benefitted so much, both physically and mentally. I love the diversity and availability of classes, the friendly atmosphere amongst all the members and the constant encouragement from both Lorna and Emily.

Emily has supported me so much throughout my fitness journey. Her encouragement has driven me to try different classes and build both my strength and cardiovascular fitness. I have always seen the gym as a place to go to lose weight but I love the focus on performance at LFF. I enjoy every class that I go to, especially the CrossFit style Partner workouts. I have also recently started semi-private PT with Emily, where my ability to do heavy compound lifting has significantly improved. I walk out of every session with a smile on my face, and I can't thank Emily enough for all of the guidance, chats and laughs and for the overall positive impact that she has had on my life!

When I was having some back issues, my Physio prescribed some exercises to strengthen my core. I didn't have the discipline to keep doing them on my own so I decided to try some gym class instead.
I felt awkward coming into the class for the first time but the faces were friendly, there was a nice atmosphere and good interaction between Lorna and the regulars.
I thought I'd be ok as I was used to jogging 5k but I quickly found out that I was wrong! Trying new exercises and using different muscle groups proved challenging. I was wrecked by the end of that first class and more aches and pains came in the days that followed! I wasn't even sure that I'd come back but I did and slowly got fitter and stronger. That was five years ago - the classes are still challenging but my recovery time is much quicker, I no longer have any back issues and I wouldn't be without them now, great for your head too - thanks Lorna!

I have been attending Lorna's fabulous gym for three months. Keeping active and fit has been part of my lifestyle for forty plus years, I recently returned from living overseas and was a member of one of the best gyms I have ever been involved in. I was a little concerned that no other gym would reach that standard. How wrong was I !!!!!!
I am so impressed with Lorna's gym from many perspectives not to mention the different membership packages available and how cost effective they are. The flexibility of the timetable and variety of classes commencing at 6.00am facilitates the opportunity to workout early or late into the evening. The variety of classes which I love, especially boxing and TRX enables me to work on my fitness goals, targeting different muscle groups ,enhancing endurance, strength and cardio over the week.

What is most encouraging is the trainer herself, Lorna is sooo fit, strong and positive.She makes every session challenging ,motivating us to push ourselves harder. She makes the exercises look easy until I attempt it !!!!
The gym is intimate, has a personal touch, is welcoming and enables me to continue to achieve my goals. The members I work out with are friendly and fun , I am challenged in a good way every session,I feel great, it is so worth the 5.30 am alarm that beckons me to head to meet Lorna's friendly face .I love this gym .

Thank you

Since starting SPPT it has been great to train with like minded motivated people who help drive you on. Emily and Lorna encourage a collaborative environment and the personal results in just a few weeks has been amazing.

The SPPT has been such an enjoyable experience. I have improved do much in terms of form and the weight that I am now able to lift. The classes themselves are more personal and with the smaller group there was a lot of encouragement and support between everyone. I signed up for the next batch of SPPT as soon as it was announced! I would recommend to anyone to take the leap and do it. Emily is a fantastic trainer with a huge amount of knowledge and expertise. She is so approachable with a great sense of humour, she really is a cut above the rest.

I started in Lorna's gym in September. I was so reluctant to go as I felt so unfit and out of my comfort zone.
After the first class I felt completely at ease and very motivated.

Lorna's experience in the fitness industry is very evident in every class, she is passionate about her job and is constantly pushing you to achieve your goals.

The classes are very enjoyable and no two classes are the same.

The person that started in September and who I am now feel like two different people, I feel so much stronger both physically and mentally and I'm so delighted I took the plunge when I did.

Really enjoyed the SPPT classes and highly recommend! It's a very rewarding class as you're encouraged to push yourself each week on the same movements so you can really progress. The support and boost every week from Emily and the rest of the girls was amazing and I really looked forward to it every Monday. SPPT has made me more confident in my form and to push myself in the regular classes during the week and I definitely wouldn't be where I am at on my fitness journey without SPPT!

I absolutely loved doing SPPT. I was definitely a little nervous goin to it on the first night but Emily being the superstar she is always there with reassurance and making sure we were doing it correctly. I found that my confidence grew in leeps and bounds and i found myself doing and lifting weights I could never even imagine. Our little hype girls group 💕💕💕

No one enjoys getting up 05:30am, especially to go training but I don't give it a second thought anymore, thanks to Lorna. Joined Lorna's gym back in 2019, after moving to Dunshaughlin, as I knew I wanted to get in better shape and improve my fitness which was zero at the time.

Lorna's classes are great fun and varied, so you always have plenty of choice. Lorna helps keep you motivated, provides guidance on nutrition and how to do every exercise properly. There is a great variety of classes and I highly recommend the boxing classes.

I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone to come and join Lorna's gym. You will not regret it!!!

I started my PT fitness journey in Mid June 2024 with Emily. I was apprehensive, nervous yet excited to see what this challenge would bring. When I started I was 93kg and not as active as I would have liked. The gym was always a space I feared of getting faint and being self conscious of my abilities.

My first week I remember benching and squatting 20kg empty bar, landmine rows and walking lunges till my body said no more. Emily encouraged and guided me all the way with her trademark “nice” and “good stuff “. Iv had my wobbles and my days of anxiety. But what has driven me week after week is the little wins, growth and the gentle push by my coach to exceed my limits.

I am now at week 9 of my sessions and I never want this amazing journey to end. I’m bench pressing 50kg, squatting 45kg and pushing my body as it needs to and can do to achieve my goals. I’m down 5kgs in weight but can see my muscle growth week on week. But what has maintained constant is the encouragement, kindness and drive from Emily.

Iv never felt as good in my self and confident ever before . I would encourage anyone to join LF fitness under Emily’s guidance . Because it will change your life for the better.

I began training with Lorna about 16 months ago. I was having issues with my back and neck from long commutes and sitting at a desk in work. Lorna is very welcoming to beginners, she explains and demonstrates every exercise at the start of each set. If you are struggling with an exercise or carrying an injury, she will notice and always has an alternative exercise or even just a little change to make sure you are included and does it without making you feel like you are falling behind.

When lockdown hit and gyms had to close Lorna quickly switched to online classes without missing a beat. Her energy and ability to motivate people comes through just as well on screen and I look forward to every class. Lorna keeps classes interesting by changing up the routine and introducing new exercises regularly. My kids love jumping in on the Zoom sessions and she always gives them a big wave and a smile! Her classes were so important to both my physical and mental health over the lockdowns and I am very grateful for all the effort she puts into looking after her clients. Thank you Lorna!

Lorna is motivational, innovative and dedicated. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking to improve their fitness at any ability level.

Three months before my wedding I decided to go to Lorna to do both 1:1 personal training and classes. I was and still am recovering from a shoulder and neck injury from a car crash. I first messaged Lorna to explain my situation and that I wanted to get back into the gym as it had been over a year since I'd done classes. Lorna rang me and suggested the best classes to try and reassured me that anything I wasn’t able for they would tailor to suit me. Then my wedding was getting closer and I wanted to do more focused training. Lorna was so friendly and helpful. I was doing one PT a week with Lorna and getting classes in where I could. I love going to the gym more for my mind than anything else. PTs were like having a catch up with a friend while sweating my ass off. Lorna’s so friendly and easy going while also giving you the push you need. I loved how it wasn’t about getting on a scales every week but feeling better and stronger in myself. I felt absolutely amazing on my wedding day and would highly recommend Lorna for 1:1 personal training sessions.

"I began PT sessions with Lorna 4 months ago. I had been looking for the right gym and fit for me for a while before I came across LF fitness. I have a back problem and would have frequently suffered with back pain. I was nervous getting started that I wouldn't be fit enough or strong enough to train, or that I would injure myself. I am amazed by my progress in just 4 months, and it's all thanks to Lorna and her wonderful training. She gave me the confidence I needed to get fit and strong. My back has never been better and physically I feel great. Lorna caters for all levels and adapts exercises to suit your ability or any injuries/weak areas you may have. Her PT sessions and classes are fantastic, both in the gym and now on zoom. When training on zoom it feels like Lorna is there in the room with you. She keeps me motivated, engaged and enthusiastic about training. I'd highly recommend signing up for Lorna Flood Fitness!"

I started training with Lorna about 7 months before my wedding. I had just had my second baby and my body confidence was at an all time low and the weakest I'd ever been in my life. I was nervous to get back training but Lorna was absolutely fantastic from the beginning. We started with the basics and progressed towards me feeling fitter, stronger and the most confident I have ever been in myself! I felt fantastic in my wedding dress and it was all thanks to Lorna pushing me to keep going. Not only is she so knowledgeable and fantastic at her job but she has also become a friend to me! I'm still training with Lorna even after the wedding has passed! I'm so happy I took the plunge and contacted Lorna to start training, best decision I could have made!

I recently did an 8 week PT class with Emily & really surprised myself with the weights I could squat, lunge & press. I really enjoyed the class. My upper body strength has really improved & as a woman it is really important to do strength training so as to maintain bone health. Emily was very encouraging & supportive through out.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing SPPT with Emily. I loved the focus on lifting heavy and building confidence in the gym. I got stronger and stronger every week with not only Emily's constant encouragement, but the push from other members in the group! Training in a group of 4 people allowed me to focus on improving my fitness while also having fun!

I would really recommend training with Lorna online. Throughout the past year Lorna has kept me going. I was worried that I might start to lack motivation but her online classes are so engaging and I always have such a good buzz after them that I didn't lose motivation. The classes are tough but so rewarding and I do them 5 days a week now which if you had said that to me a year ago, I'd say you were mad! Thanks Lorna!

I started doing PT sessions during the most recent lockdown. I do it once a week and it's brilliant! It's one on one with Lorna. I always find I really feel it the next day because you push yourself that bit harder as there's no hiding! It's really nice to have a chat with Lorna too and to vary it up with exercises which makes it that bit different to the classes. There's lots of really reasonable offers on Legit Fit for packages too. I'd really recommend signing up and giving it a go!

I remember reaching out to Lorna 12 weeks before my wedding day & panicking that I didn't give myself enough time, but she reassured me we had plenty of time to make me feel amazing. When I started out I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, like zero, but Lorna & John helped me so much & after every class I felt better & more confident. I done 2 group classes & one PT session a week right up until the week before my wedding. One thing I learned from the training is that not only was it good for my body but it was so good for my mind, obviously planning a wedding is stressful and when I went training it totally distracted me & kept me focused on something else, I also started to sleep so much better after training too. I would have trained right up until the big day but unfortunately I started to feel a little run down & caught a little cold & Lorna convinced me to stay at home & listen to my body and rest up & get myself better before the wedding day, which was such good advice. My advice for future brides considering starting to train is do it, the initial thoughts are scarier than the actual work, you'll feel great about yourself too. Do it at your own pace, don't overdo it, and enjoy it cos I'd love to do it all over again. Now looking at my pictures I'm so proud of myself, without sounding vain I can look at my pictures knowing I worked hard to look how I wanted to. I felt amazing on my wedding day & I danced right through til 2am & again the next night & I defo believe that's cos I was healthier & fitter.

I began training with Lorna about 10 months ago in the lead up to my wedding. I had always found going to the gym very intimidating and I had zero knowledge of fitness. My main goal when starting at LF Fitness was to enjoy going to the gym and from my first day with Lorna she was really welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. I love the wide variety of classes both online and in person which adapt to all fitness levels. I am amazed how much my strength and energy levels have increased and I now go at least 3/4 times a week. Lorna will always check in with me and if I have an injury she will help me modify any exercise.

I would highly recommend signing up with Lorna to anyone nervous about joining a gym, she is very dedicated to all her clients and will keep you motivated and enthusiastic about training!
Thank you Lorna!
