CLIENT CENTRED TRAINING

I’ve been a professional trainer since 1997, working in the UK and Ireland, Australia and now back to Ireland. I have always followed the mantra, ‘the goal is to keep the goal – the goal’. That is to say, whatever goal the client wants and needs has always been the priority.

Below I touch on the who, why and how we train, but in brief, my clients are 40 plus professionals who value their health now and moving into the future years.

Everyone has goals on the spectrum of strength, fitness, moving better and losing weight and I have solutions for each of these. Under safe and professional guidance every client is coached towards their goal and it’s commonplace for everyone to discover how well they can move and achieve greatness in their physical practices. If you’d like to read what clients have had to say, head over to the Testimonial page.

In a nut-shell, everyone wants to feel good, because it feels good to feel good!

WHO IS MOVESTRONG FOR?

The people I really want to help are those who value learning and understanding how to move better, who understand the importance of being stronger and fitter to support their lifestyle today and going into the future. If you believe that exercise doesn’t have to be painful, or just a way to burn calories but instead that exercise compliments a healthy lifestyle, then training with MoveStrong at Urban One or at TBB in Limerick could be a great fit for you.

WHY TRAIN WITH MOVESTRONG?

I believe in simple, smart training. I believe that a healthy life is the result of developing and sustaining strength, fitness, mobility, good nutrition and healthy sleep habits.

At MoveStrong I teach in detail not just how to execute each gym movement properly but why. Everything we do is purposeful and intentional whether it’s during a skill, a strength movement or a challenge section of the training session. It’s safety first folks!

On foot of my Dexa January 2025, I decided to do something positive to stop the trajectory into osteoporosis. I had been to class fitness on 2 occasions but had been injured, so I decided to try a personal trainer. I Googled the ‘best trainer Limerick city’ and thankfully found Jamie Hunter.

Jamie doesn’t go for the ‘burn’, or intensive exercise, but builds up gradually so that you don’t feel strain or pain. I now suddenly surprise myself and find strength in daily life I didn’t have previously.

Jamie listened to my specific goals and tailored a programme to build my strength gradually. He answers questions because he has many years of experience and knows the answers. He is very approachable and patient.

Jamie’s consultation is free, so what have you got to lose by dropping an e-mail or picking up the ‘phone? I’m so glad I did and would unreservedly recommend Jamie.

As an aside, Urban One where Jamie trains, is a lovely gym. Training is exclusively in a large area on the top floor where there are also showers etc.

On the ground floor there’s is a nice cafe.

This is the time of year to be proactive. Jamie’s programme is not for someone who wants instant results and then gives up. This is for those who want to be healthy and fit long term. Make that call! I’m so glad I did!

I recently returned from a couple of years living abroad, and to say the least I had a bit more excess baggage than when I departed and a very sluggish metabolism to boot. I looked in to joining a gym, but was quite intimidated especially when it came to free weight training so I contacted Jamie about his services. 

When I initially met with Jamie, I was extremely impressed with how at ease he made a novice like me feel, and how he really delved in to what my body could and could not handle – and then tied everything together with my routines. It’s obvious how knowledgeable he is about human movement. 
Two months later I have lost 5kg’s, I have core strength that I never thought was possible and I absolutely love my time spent in the gym. Jamie has been so patient with me and I thoroughly look forward to my time working out these days. I never thought I’d be so excited about kettlebells!
