(Another) personal trainer recommendation thread

    Looking for recommendations for personal trainers in (Drumcondra, Glasnevin, Ballymun, Fairview, Santry, Clontarf, Phibsboro) areas, If I cannot find one I would consider going further.

    Looking to start in a gym and want to learn correct form and know I will have to work on mobility. I am reading starting strength and not doing the movement correctly is mentioned frequently. Just practising the squat and feel I'm not getting it right, so a couple of months or more of advice and training will get me going correctly, reduce the chance of injury and obviously seeing results faster than using weights incorrectly.

    I have read the previous threads on PTs, and have been unable to arrange anything with my first choice, so looking for other recommendations.

    Thanks

    Wow, that was quick:)

    He was/is my first choice, been unable to make contact since exchanging emails last week, do not want to wait any longer so the hunt for a PT continues.

    Know anyone else?

    Try to track Hanley down - He'd be worth waiting for.

    Any suggestions on how to get in contact with him? I have tried the usual email, phone, contact form on website and pm :).

    If the gym isn't far from you perhaps call by?

    doh!

    For some reason I had it in my head it did not operate like a normal gym. Will try that. Thanks.

    OK, just went to the address on the website, closed, shutters down and no signage. Not sure if I was in the correct place, the unit on one side has a coffee angel plaque and a couple of doors down is a valeting place no one around to ask.

    Was I in the correct place unit 2 Chart house business park?
