Hi everyone, my name is Declan Doyle

I am the head coach at Potential Personal Training. I am passionate about helping people to achieve their full strength and fitness potential. Being strong and fit provides all pervasive benefits in our lives, not just in terms of physical health but also contributing to better mood and mental health and more positive interactions with the people around us. I want to help you cut through the barrage of misinformation surrounding the fitness industry and put you on the most efficient pathway to achieving your goals. I have been passionate about sports since I was young and have played rugby and cricket at club and collegiate levels. I understand the drive to improve sports performance, but I also appreciate the difficulties facing someone returning to training injured or due to a sedentary lifestyle. With over ten years of industry experience, I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients, from national-grade athletes to people in their nineties. I possess a unique skill set that will tailor the right programme to fit your needs and lifestyle. So take the essential step on your fitness journey and call me in the centre 01-2883720 / fitness@newparksportscentre.ie

Hi there! My name is Manuel Velazquez.

I am a personal trainer with 10+ years of experience. I specialize in physical and sports activities and can help you achieve your fitness goals through personal training. After our initial session, I will create a customized training program that suits your needs, whether you want to build muscle mass, lose weight, tone up, or recover from an injury. I can assist you in training around disabilities, injuries, or muscle/joint issues, regardless of your skill level.

Additionally, if you need to pass entrance physicals for positions such as An Gardaí or the fire brigade, I can help you with that, too. As a Les Mills instructor (BodyPump, BodyCombat, and The Trip) and an official Zumba instructor, I offer personalized training for all skill levels. Whether you prefer group classes or one-on-one sessions, I can help you achieve your fitness goals. Sports are my passion outside the gym, and I have experience coaching football and basketball. I hold a black belt in karate and believe physical activity is crucial for leading a fulfilling life.

If you're ready to start your fitness journey, please don't hesitate to contact me at the centre, via email at manuel@newparksportscentre.ie, or by phone at (01) 283 3037. I look forward to helping you achieve your fitness goals!
