Personal Training
How our personal training works
Every session is coached and built around you, never a generic workout off a whiteboard.
Your own programme
Built around your goals, whether that is weight loss, strength or simply feeling better, and adjusted as you progress.
1:2, not a buddy session
One coach, two clients. You each follow your own plan and the coach moves between you, coaching individually throughout.
Every level welcome
Complete beginners to seasoned lifters. Sessions run on the half hour, right through from open to close, six days a week.
Nutrition alongside
Add practical, habit-based nutrition coaching to your training whenever you’re ready.
No-expiry credits
PT packs never lapse and work at both Ballincollig and Douglas.
Honest pricing
From €20.56 a session on rolling memberships, €35 pay-as-you-go. Full pricing is on our homepage.

FAQ
Personal training questions
If yours is not here, give us a ring. We would rather talk it through.
How much does a personal trainer cost in Cork?
At ATP it works out between €20.56 and €28.90 a session depending on your package, or €35 pay as you go. Your first session is free.
Is it 1:1 or group training?
We train 1:2. One coach, two clients, each on their own programme. All the attention of PT with better value.
Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. A lot of the people who walk in here are starting again after a long time off. The first few weeks are about getting the basics right, not surviving a beasting.
How long is a session?
30 minutes, warm up through to cool down.
Am I tied into a contract?
Rolling memberships have a 3 month minimum, then you can cancel anytime. Our credit packs never expire.
Can I use my sessions at both gyms?
Yes. We are in Douglas and Ballincollig and your credits work across both, so you can train wherever suits the week.
What if I am carrying an injury?
Tell us before we start and we will work around it, alongside whatever your physio or doctor has advised.
What should I bring to the first session?
Runners, comfortable gym gear and a water bottle. That is it.
How do I start?
