coach AISLING Q&A
Aisling Connolly 36. Mam of 3. Pre and post natal coach as well as S&C coach.
What were you doing before you started at Rocky Fitness?
I worked in commercial gyms and was a professional singer.
What’s your role within Rocky Fitness?
I work closely one to one with women who want to elevate their results in body composition. I also look after private post natal training before returning to Rocky Fitness classes.
What inspired you to become a coach?
For 30 years I lived a sedentary lifestyle. I had no idea on nutrition or the mental benefits that comes with eating healthily and moving my body.
When I finally started to exercise in a safe encouraging environment I couldn’t believe the benefits it had to my mental health and my outlook on life.
This inspired me to show others how exercise can change your life.
What’s your favourite part about being a coach?
My favourite part of being a coach is showing a client what they are capable of. That moment when they realise they were far stronger than they thought. Seeing the confidence rise in others is very rewarding.
What’s your least favourite part about being a coach?
When people don’t stick around long enough to see the benefits. It hurts ha
What piece of advice are you always repeating to members?
Quality sessions is better over quantity. You don’t need to crawl out of the gym to see the benefits.
What’s one common fitness myth you wish more people understood?
Ab specific workouts will give you abs
What’s your proudest moment within Rocky Fitness?
Seeing Rocky fitness grow and help hundreds of people
