I\u2019m Conor, I\u2019ll be 26 next week. I have been coaching for 10 years now which began with gymnastics coaching and evolved into strength & conditioning + personal training from 2018\/2019.<\/p>

What were you doing before you started at Rocky Fitness?<\/strong>
I was coaching gymnastics with a mixture of age groups including adult gymnastics + fitness classes. I used to coach some of the outdoor bootcamps with Rocky before Covid too.<\/p>

What\u2019s your role within Rocky Fitness?<\/strong>
I am head of programming and have been appointed head of tech by some people when it comes to the screens and apps \ud83d\ude02<\/p>

What inspired you to become a coach?<\/strong>
I have always had a passion for progress. Both for myself and for others. I wanted to inspire others and show them what they are truly capable of through fitness. Hard work will always pay off once you\u2019re consistent. All I have ever done is coach and I really can\u2019t imagine doing anything else!<\/p>

What\u2019s your favourite part about being a coach?<\/strong>
Showing members what they are capable of and helping them become the strongest version of themselves.
What\u2019s your least favourite part about being a coach?
Nothing – I love every part of it!<\/p>

What piece of advice are you always repeating to members?<\/strong>
You should go heavier \ud83d\udc40<\/p>

What\u2019s one common fitness myth you wish more people understood?<\/strong>
That carbs cause weight gain or that they are bad. We need carbs for energy and if we want our best performance in the gym.
Higher intensity sessions with more conditioning naturally require more carbohydrates so it\u2019s important to prioritise this in the last meal before you train or have an easy snack beforehand.
You\u2019ll often see me eating a squares bar or a handful of jellies before I train and this is why! Plus they\u2019re tasty\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>

What\u2019s your proudest moment within Rocky Fitness?<\/strong>
I don\u2019t have one moment in particular, but I am very proud to be part of such an amazing team and to be given so many opportunities to grow and progress as a coach here over the last 5 years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What are you currently training towards?<\/strong>
I\u2019m currently focused on building up my overall strength and fitness base while maintaining the high intensity conditioning. Myself and Rocky have ATHX, a fitness competition testing strength, endurance and conditioning in the RDS at the end of May.
We made it to the pro finals in Birmingham in December and the biggest differentiator between us and the competition was strength.
On March 21st we have a lot of members and coaches taking part in Battle Cancer in the RDS so I am staying sharp for that too.<\/p>

Favourite Rocky Fitness Class?<\/a><\/strong>
The majority of our classes are Small Group Training where the focus is on strength and there is lots of time to get around, chat and coach each member which I love. Friday Fusion is up there as we can get some heavy lifting done and move into whatever \u2018fun\u2019 I have planned for the other 20 mins of the session. \ud83d\udd25<\/p>

Favourite & least favourite exercise?<\/strong>
Favourite : Clean & Jerk
Least Favourite : Probably Strict Press<\/p>

Favourite workout music?<\/strong>
I enjoy training to all types of music. It just depends on the type of session and my mood! Anywhere from Rihanna to Fred Again to 50 Cent<\/p>

When you\u2019re not coaching, how do you spend your time?<\/strong>
Chill out or meet up with friends<\/p>

Favourite cheat foods?<\/strong>
Pizza all day<\/p>

Give us a fun fact about you.<\/strong>
I am fluent in Irish – chuaigh m\u00e9 go bunscoil l\u00e1n Ghaeilge ach t\u00e1im beag\u00e1in rusty<\/p>

Finish the sentence:<\/strong> I love it when our members… ask questions<\/p>

Finish the sentence:<\/strong> I hate it when our members\u2026 leave me hanging for a knuckle touch \ud83d\ude4b\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>
