Train for your goal

Whatever you're chasing, there's a plan for it

Every client starts with a goal. The programme, the nutrition and the check-ins all follow from it. Pick yours to see how Michael coaches it.

Burn fat. Keep it off.

Weight loss

Burn fat, build healthy habits and feel your best. Strength work to hold on to muscle, conditioning to lift the calorie burn and a nutrition plan you can live with. Sustainable, not starved.

Strength and conditioning

Built for fight night and race day

MR works alongside Curadh Muay Thai in Mallow, preparing fighters for competition. The same approach goes into runners and GAA players: injury prevention first, then power that transfers.

ISKAPreparing athletes representing Ireland at the ISKA Open World Championships this November
Injury prevention first

Isometrics, plyometrics and single-leg strength so you can train hard and stay on the mats.

Power that transfers

Jumps, throws and loaded carries programmed around your sport, not a bodybuilding split.

Tested every block

Broad jump, single-leg control, strength numbers. You see the gains in black and white.

Your coach

Michael Roach

Michael runs MR Personal Training from Mallow, Co. Cork. He coaches one-to-one clients, the weekly class timetable, online clients around the country and the strength work for fighters at Curadh Muay Thai.

Sessions are tough, well coached and good craic. Clients say the hour flies and the results show up on the scales, in the mirror and on the mats.

If you haven't trained in years, you're exactly who the classes are for. If you compete, you'll get a programme that respects your sport.

"Believe in yourself. Stay focused. Do your best."Michael, to every client sitting an exam, a fight or a first session
Questions

Before you message

The things new clients ask most. Anything else, ask Michael directly.

I haven't trained in years. Can I still join a class?

Yes. Every class is scaled to the person in front of him. Tell Michael it's your first session and he'll set you up with the right loads and options.

Where exactly are the classes?

At Curadh Muay Thai Fitness Studio in Mallow, Co. Cork. Message for directions and parking before your first visit.

How does online coaching work day to day?

You get the MR coaching app with your training plan, nutrition plan and habit tracker. You log sessions, Michael reviews them and updates the plan every week. Questions go straight to him on WhatsApp.

Do I need my own equipment for online coaching?

No. Plans are built around what you have, whether that's a full gym, a few dumbbells at home or bodyweight only.

Do you work with young athletes?

Yes. Michael provides strength and conditioning for youth fighters at Curadh Muay Thai, including athletes competing for Ireland, and for young players in other sports.
