Real Experiences from busy adults who wanted to be stronger, fitter and healthier
I love Metabolic Fitness. The gym itself is well equipped. However, it is the team that make experience worthwhile. I have been working with Frank for a considerable time now and he is an outstanding trainer. He understands the personal goals of the client and tailors the work to them. He has knowledge of a wide range of exercises, so that training never becomes boring or repetitive. I would recommend Metabolic Fitness to anyone looking to get in better shape or improve their general health and fitness.

After focusing on cardio workouts for years, I started training with Dave and in just a few short weeks began seeing results that I had long hoped for. The workout was tailored specifically for me, and it was highly motivating to see the improvement in my strength & fitness so quickly! Having had two babies in quick succession, I was anxious about getting back in shape, and without a doubt opting for individual training sessions was the best decision. The team at Metabolic Fitness are extremely professional, friendly and practice what they preach; their philosophy is grounded in science and years of experience. I would highly recommend them!

I am a serial gym joiner who finally worked out the only way is individual training. Working on two sessions a week, I have made great strides so far. This method gives an incredible workout. It has been a long time since I had so much fun sweating.

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my early 30s. Prescribed treatment at the time was entirely drug-based which delivered only marginal improvements whilst causing other problems. Fast forward to 5 years ago (and well into middle age) when I started training with Dave @ Metabolic Fitness, a move which set me on a journey towards not just getting stronger and achieving my goals but exceeding them. Across that time period I have seen major improvements in my strength, mobility, overall fitness and general wellbeing. Significantly, my bone density has increased moving me out of osteoporosis and osteopenia back into the normal range. I attribute this directly to Dave’s highly-informed and structured approach to programming which is rooted in a wealth of professional practice and experience. The ethos created by Dave, Fiona and Frank at Metabolic is very encouraging, supportive and confidence-building thus enabling clients to reach for and even surpass their own expectations. Training at Metabolic Fitness has impacted very positively on many aspects of my life. I unreservedly endorse it.

I have been training with Dave in Metabolic for over 6 years and I can honestly say it has been life changing. Dave is extremely knowledgeable and methodical in his approach to training and advice. No gimmicks or fads! No session is ever the same and whilst none are easy, all are extremely rewarding! Dave is a great motivator and is the ultimate messiah in a thoroughly researched and scientific approach to health and fitness. The gym is really friendly and relaxed which means I always look forward to working out. Would highly recommend!

I have been a doctor for 19 years and I came to this clinic in very poor shape. I was impressed by their professionalism and knowledge and I’ve seen real results. I can personally recommend them as I feel that they push you to just the right level and are adaptive even within the session. They only offer 1 to 1 training and it is of top quality. They offer advice on all aspects of fitness including nutrition and any question you might have.

I have been training with Dave Peelo for one year now and I can honestly say I have never felt better. I wanted to shape up for my wedding and had 7 months to get results! I look forward to my sessions at metabolic fitness as it’s a lovely friendly environment to train in. Dave pushes me to achieve fitness results I could never imagine on my own especially as I have a shoulder injury which he carefully works with. I also find Dave’s diet and meal recommendations instrumental in my 3 stone weight loss as he is an advocate of clean eating and doesn’t promote fad diets. I would urge anyone who needs that extra bit of a push to get into that little black dress to check out Metabolic Fitness.

At Metabolic Fitness on Drury Street in Dublin city centre, Dave Peelo uses a number of training methods to boost the metabolism and, if you have no time to make lunch, he’ll pick out appropriate menu choices in your area. The reason most of Peelo’s client are referrals, he explains, is because the benefits of proper training are so dramatic that it pulls in other people. “When I started 13 years ago, personal training was something reserved for the rich and famous. It’s a lot more mainstream now. But the problem with the fitness and health industries is that there’s still a lot of conflicting information about how people should eat and exercise. A big part of our job is education. “As soon as people see the initial results, they naturally become motivated to learn more. Then when others around them see there’s a path to looking and feeling good, they want to take it too.”
