"I highly recommend Zenith Performance for anyone seeking exceptional strength and conditioning expertise. Ciarans tailored approach and commitment to specific programs has been shown in my results. His extensive knowledge, motivational skills, and attention to form make each session both challenging and rewarding. I feel more powerful and explosive and it's translating into my game time. With Ciaran, you're not just getting a trainer; you're gaining a supportive guide on your sporting journey."
After sustaining a knee injury, I lost a lot of confidence in the gym and my overall fitness due to the length of time I had off. Ciaran has worked hard to create a programme that not only focuses on my goals, but also works around the demands of my job whilst I’m on deployment. I’m now nearly 4 months into my programme and I feel stronger, fitter and more motivated than ever. I’m excited to get back into rugby camp next month in preparation for Inter-services and to see how my programme has enhanced my playing performance.
I have been working with Ciaran at Zenith Performance for four months now and I can feel noticeable changes in my performance on the rugby pitch. Ciaran took the time to understand my rugby goals and tailors my programming each month with those in mind. Each session is thorough and demonstrates Ciaran’s knowledge and attention to detail, including a prep, strength, and bulletproofing component. I am consistently feeling challenged and can see the contribution to my overarching goals. Ciaran has worked closely with me to adjust my programming during injuries as well as changes in my training and game schedules. He is open to feedback and quick to offer help when needed. For athletes looking to take their game to the next level, I highly recommend Zenith Performance.
I first contacted Ciaran to help get me back in shape after I lost motivation and direction. He listened to what I wanted but also how I could fit sessions around my busy lifestyle! My gains in the first few weeks have shocked me. Ciaran continually listens to how I’m feeling and what I want my end goal to be, whilst providing supportive and motivating words. I cannot wait for our New Year challenge and what shape Ciaran can get me in.
When I first spoke to Ciaran at zenith, about what my goals were and how he could help me, I genuinely felt even more motivated. In the 3 months in the lead up to the Africa cup. Ciaran helped me get in the best shape of my life. I felt the strongest and the most athletic I have been in my career.
