Marie Harvey is a self-employed seamstress who lives in Cobh and trains with us at our Midleton studio.
She came in feeling stuck in a rut — her energy was low, food choices weren’t great, an inactive lifestyle, and with the demands of running a business, she had no accountability to stay fit and strong.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Marie was living a sedentary lifestyle and knew something had to change.
Busy days meant poor eating habits and very little movement, and it had started to take a toll on how she felt — physically and mentally.
She had tried to get back into a routine before, but nothing really stuck.
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
Like many of our clients, Marie was busy.
She wasn’t sure how she’d make time around her work demands or where she’d find the energy to train — especially when she already had very busy days.
And the biggest doubt? Whether she’d actually be able for it based on her starting point- this is super common!!
The Turning Point
Once she started with us, she quickly realised she didn’t need to smash herself into the ground to make progress.
With the right structure and a flexible approach, Marie began to find her rhythm again.
She loved that she could scale back the intensity when needed — or push harder on days she felt good.
Every session was tailored to how her body, energy and stress levels were feeling that day.
The Results
In just a few months, Marie……….
✅ Dropped 20kg of weight
✅ Massively boosted her energy levels
✅ Fitter and stronger than she’s been in years
✅ Sharper focus and more productivity at work
✅ Leaner physique, feeling great in her clothes
Here’s what Marie had to say:
“I really didn’t think I’d have the energy to stick with something like this when I got back into things — but it’s gone a lot better than I thought. I had a few challenges along the way, but I didn’t have to turn my whole life upside down.”
