If you're over 40 and finding it harder to lose weight or stay fit, you're not alone. At Good Vibes Fitness, I help people lose body fat, build strength, and feel healthier, stronger, and more confident—without extreme diets or endless hours in the gym.
WELCOME TO GOOD VIBES FITNESS
Hi, I'm Philip.
I'm 46 years old and the owner of Good Vibes Fitness. Like many of my members, I know that staying fit gets more challenging as we get older—but I also know it's never too late to become stronger, healthier, and more confident.
I understand that fitness isn't about trying to look like you're 20 again. It's about staying strong, moving well, feeling healthy, and enjoying life for as long as possible.
Since opening in March 2023, I've helped hundreds of people—particularly those over 40—become stronger, healthier, and more confident. Many of my members come to me after years of putting themselves last, dealing with old injuries, managing health conditions, or simply feeling intimidated by large commercial gyms.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, build strength, improve your fitness, maintain muscle and bone health, or simply take some time for yourself each week, I'll help you get there in a safe, supportive environment.
Every training programme is tailored to your individual goals, fitness level, and any injuries or medical conditions you may have. My aim isn't just to improve your physical health—it's to boost your confidence, improve your mental wellbeing, and help you enjoy exercise again.
At Good Vibes Fitness, you'll always receive a warm welcome from the moment you walk through the door.
This isn't your typical gym.
There are no crowds, no waiting for equipment, and no feeling like you're being watched or judged.
Instead, you'll train alongside a friendly community of like-minded people who encourage, motivate, and support each other every step of the way. It's a place where friendships are made, confidence grows, and people genuinely enjoy coming to train.
Good Vibes Fitness offers a private, coach-led training environment for people who want expert guidance without the pressure of a commercial gym.
The gym operates by appointment and scheduled classes only, ensuring every member receives the attention, coaching, and support they deserve.
"If you're over 40 and looking for a place where you'll feel comfortable, supported, and part of a great community, Good Vibes Fitness is the place for you."
A little bit about me.
A bit about me.
Hi, I'm Philip, owner of Good Vibe Fitness, a certified personal trainer, and fitness instructor.
The first photo is me at my lowest.
I was overweight, anxious, depressed, and completely lacking in confidence. At my heaviest, I weighed over 16 stone (103.9KG). I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and hated what I saw in the mirror.
The second photo tells a very different story.
I'm now 5 stone lighter (32KG), healthier, stronger, and happier. It's the same mirror and the same top—but a completely different person, both physically and mentally.
The transformation didn't happen overnight. It happened through consistency, support, and small, sustainable changes. Small-group personal training changed my life, and it's the reason I started Good Vibe Fitness.
Why I Started Good Vibe Fitness
I created Good Vibe Fitness for people who feel intimidated by commercial gyms.
If you've ever worried that people are watching you, judging you, or that you're simply not fit enough to walk through the door, you're exactly who I want to help.
Our gym isn't about egos or taking selfies.
It's about real people supporting each other in a welcoming, friendly environment where everyone is working towards becoming healthier, stronger, and more confident.
I've Been Where You Are
I know what it's like to struggle with your weight.
I know what it's like to lack confidence, feel anxious, and put off getting started because you don't know where to begin.
That's why I understand the challenges you're facing.
You're not training with someone who has always been fit—you're training with someone who has lived it.
My Mission
My mission is simple:
To help people over 40 lose weight, build strength, improve their health, and regain the confidence they deserve.
Fitness isn't just about changing your body.
It's about having more energy, improving your mental wellbeing, reducing health risks, and feeling proud of yourself again.
Are You Ready?
If you're tired of feeling stuck…
If you're fed up with starting over…
If you're ready to invest in yourself…
I'd love to help.
All I ask is that you're prepared to:
Train 2–3 times each week.
Make small, sustainable lifestyle changes.
Stay consistent and trust the process.
You don't have to be fit to get started—you just have to take the first step.
Book your FREE consultation and body composition analysis today, and together we'll create a plan to help you become the healthiest, strongest, and most confident version of yourself.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve results you never thought were possible.
Yours sincerely,
Philip
Expert Fitness Coaching for Over 40s
Small Group Personal Training
Get in the Best Shape of Your Life—Without the Cost of One-to-One Personal Training
At Good Vibes Fitness, you'll receive expert coaching, personalised workouts, nutritional guidance, and the support of a welcoming community—all in a private, non-intimidating gym.
If you're over 40 and want to lose weight, build strength, improve your fitness, and feel more confident, my small group personal training is designed for you.
Unlike large fitness classes, every session is coach-led and tailored to the people training that day. You'll receive individual guidance and support while enjoying the motivation and accountability that comes from training alongside others with similar goals.
What to Expect
Each session includes a variety of strength-based exercises designed to improve your fitness safely and effectively. Depending on your ability and goals, you may perform exercises such as:
Squats
Deadlifts
Bench Press
Rows
Shoulder Press
Leg Curls
Bicep Curls
And many more.
Every programme is adapted to suit your experience, fitness level, and any injuries or limitations you may have.
Why Strength Training Matters
After the age of 30, adults naturally begin to lose muscle mass if they don't actively maintain it. Strength training helps to:
Build and maintain muscle.
Increase bone density.
Improve balance and mobility.
Support weight loss.
Boost metabolism.
Make everyday activities easier.
Help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and age-related muscle loss.
It's one of the best long-term investments you can make in your health.
Train With People Who Support You
One of the biggest reasons my members succeed is the atmosphere.
You'll train alongside friendly, like-minded people who encourage one another every step of the way. There are no egos, no intimidation, and no judgement—just a positive environment where everyone wants to see each other succeed.

Please get in touch to discuss your goals and check availability.
Do you provide 1-2-1 personal training?

I offer one-to-one personal training for clients who prefer individual coaching and exclusive use of the gym during their session.
Your programme will be tailored specifically to your goals, fitness level, and experience, with expert coaching and support every step of the way.
Please get in touch to discuss your goals and check availability.
What age groups do you train?
What Age Groups Do You Train?
My services are designed for different age groups depending on the type of training.
Small Group & One-to-One Personal Training
I specialise in helping adults aged 40 and over improve their fitness, lose weight, build strength, and regain their confidence in a supportive, non-intimidating environment.
Group Fitness Classes
My fitness classes are open to anyone aged 18 and over, regardless of their current fitness level.
Whether you're returning to exercise after years away or looking for a new challenge, I'll help you train safely, confidently, and at a pace that's right for you.
What is Group Personal Training
Experience the best of both worlds. Small group personal training delivers the individual attention and tailored programming of personal training, together with the energy, motivation, and affordability of training in a small group.
What Group training isn't
Small group personal training is not the same as a standard fitness class.
In a typical exercise class, everyone does the same workout regardless of their fitness level, experience, or goals. The instructor leads the class, but the session isn't tailored to each individual.
At Good Vibes Fitness, small group personal training is different.
Every member follows a personalised training programme designed around their goals, fitness level, and abilities. Although you train alongside a small group, your coach provides individual guidance, monitors your technique, adjusts exercises when needed, and supports your progress every step of the way.
Because you'll train with the same small group over time, you'll build friendships, stay accountable, and enjoy the motivation that comes from being part of a supportive community.
It's all the benefits of personal training—with the encouragement of training alongside people who are on the same journey as you.
What are the benefits of 1-on-1 personal training versus group personal training?
The biggest difference is the training environment.
With one-to-one personal training, you have exclusive use of the gym and your coach's undivided attention throughout the entire session.
With small group personal training, you'll train alongside a maximum of six people, each following their own personalised training programme.
You'll still receive:
A programme designed specifically for your goals and ability.
Expert coaching and guidance throughout every session.
Exercise technique correction and progression.
Ongoing support and accountability.
Nutritional advice and guidance.
Regular progress tracking.
The added bonus of small group personal training is that you'll benefit from the motivation, encouragement, and camaraderie of training alongside like-minded people—all at a fraction of the cost of one-to-one personal training.
If you want personalised coaching without paying premium one-to-one prices, small group personal training offers the perfect balance of expert support, community, and value..
How much is membership?
At Good Vibes Fitness,I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person has different goals, experience, and support needs, so we offer membership options tailored to you.
Small group personal training memberships start from just €219 per month.
During your FREE, no-obligation consultation, we'll discuss your goals, assess your current fitness, and recommend the membership option that's best suited to help you achieve the results you're looking for.
Book your free consultation today and let's find the right membership for you.
Do I need to be fit?
Absolutely not. In fact, many of our members join because they haven't exercised for years or are just getting started on their fitness journey.
Everyone starts somewhere.
We'll assess your current fitness level, discuss your goals, and create a personalised training programme that's right for you. You'll progress at a pace that suits your ability, building confidence, strength, and fitness as you go.
At Good Vibes Fitness, our job isn't to expect you to be fit—it's to help you become fitter.
You don't need to be fit to start. You just need to take the first step.
How often should I train?
How often you train will depend on your goals, lifestyle, and schedule.
For most people, training three times per week provides the ideal balance between achieving results and allowing your body enough time to recover.
That said, consistency is more important than perfection. Whether you train two, three, or four times a week, we'll help you choose a routine that fits your lifestyle and keeps you progressing towards your goals.
The best training plan is one you can stick to consistently.
How will you measure my body composition?
We use Tanita's Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology to accurately track your progress throughout your fitness journey.
Your body composition assessment provides much more than just your weight. It measures:
Weight
Body fat percentage
Muscle mass
Body water percentage
Bone mass
Visceral fat (fat surrounding your internal organs)
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Daily Calorie Intake (DCI)
Metabolic age
Physique rating
These measurements allow us to monitor your progress more accurately than relying on the scales alone. Even if your weight doesn't change, improvements in body fat, muscle mass, and other health markers can show that you're making excellent progress.
I use the same Tanita body composition technology featured on Operation Transformation and The Clinic for Well People, giving you reliable and detailed insights into your health and fitness.
I don't just measure your weight—I measure your progress.
