"I was cautious about beginning a strength training program myself without proper guidance from someone who knows more about this type of physical activity. Given the amount of misinformation on social media I approached Gerard about doing a 8 week session to build power and learn how to lift weights properly and avoid injury.

Gerard is very knowledgeable and a great teacher, he worked around my schedule to build a program to suit me. Given that I have young kids and work in the city centre, it was great to know I could do my session later in the evenings too.

I would highly recommend Gerard and now feel more confident to work solo in the gym when lifting heavier weights."

"The 8 week block I did with Ger from GOCCOACHING provided me with great foundational knowledge about a range of different exercises I could do in the gym.

As a trainer, Ger was knowledgeable, paid close attention to form, getting the basics right and was flexible when planning sessions.

As someone who finds it difficult to put on weight / muscle, I was very happy with the results I achieved from my time working with GOCCOACHING. I am now able to set out my weekly workout routine in the gym by myself, which I never did beforehand and I'm enjoying the gym a lot more now too.”

"A special personal trainer, he is young, in knowledge and passion for his job and clients. He made me feel like crying at times and I don't hide the fact that he made me swear too (haha), but probably it was the proof that his job was done right. He pushed me to my full potential no matter how low and tired I was. He brought the best of me through inspiration and lot of perspiration (haha). Thank you for giving me the tools to believe in myself and how to work my body and mind during training. You are a truly amazing coach and I hope to work with you again soon."

" Fantastic. Been training with Gerard twice weekly since January 2024. I've managed to lose over 5kg and keep it off. The hyrox style training was new to me but I thoroughly enjoy it and it has helped me improve my overall fitness massively. I've managed to bring down my 5k time from last year down from 21.26 to 20.20 this year and took a full minute off my 7k time from 32.24 to 31.24. Got good nutritional advice off Gerard which helped with the weight loss too. Also focused on various techniques and exercises which have improved my movement greatly in tennis and football matches and I've been less prone to injury and strains since doing this. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a change in how they train and also for weight loss management."

"Did 16 PT sessions With Ger over the last few weeks , throughly enjoyed every session. Asked for a Hyrox / HITT style programme and he delivered. Massive knowledge of the fitness industry and a great coach throughout. Recommended , whatever your goals may be."

"Ger is a great coach with an excellent knowledge and understanding of strength and conditioning."

"I really enjoyed training with Ger. Ger is extremely knowledgeable and interested in my goals.He always pushed me lift heavier and I noticed a remarkable improvement in my strength. Ger continues to support my fitness in classes and he is always encouraging. Ger is friendly and fun and very passionate."

"I highly recommend a training program with Gerard O'Connor. During the four week program he helped me gain 6kg after I had previously found it difficult to gain weight. He helped me do this through varied training sessions and by keeping in close contact to make sure the diet he recommended was helping me get the most out of the program. He also gave me advice and a program to help me maintain my goals after the program was finished."
