About Strength2Strength
Strength2Strength was created for people who don’t feel at home in typical gyms: a small, coached group at Coolmine Rugby Club where you know what to do and someone is beside you while you do it.
Walking into a busy gym floor without a plan is uncomfortable for almost everyone, and for many people it’s enough to stop them going at all. Not knowing which exercises to do, how much weight to use or whether you’re doing it right is a real barrier, not a lack of motivation.
Clear coaching removes that uncertainty. When a coach has written your programme, shows you every exercise and is in the room while you train, there’s nothing left to guess at. That’s the whole idea behind Strength2Strength.
From the founder
“You’re met with a fist bump and a smile from a coach.”
Darragh, founder and coach
Darragh started Strength2Strength for the people who never felt at home in a typical gym: the ones left to figure it out alone, or expected to keep up with a class built for someone else. He wanted a place where every session is coached, every programme is written for the person doing it, and the coach knows your name by the end of your first week.
Qualified coaches who are used to working at each member’s pace, and who’d rather you asked than guessed.

“You’re met with a fist bump and a smile from a coach.”
Darragh set up Strength2Strength to give people who don’t feel at home in typical gyms somewhere they could be coached properly. He runs the sessions, writes most of the programmes and still knows every member by name.

“In here there’s always a bit of craic.”
Jack coaches most of the morning and evening groups. He’s the one adjusting your set-up mid-session and spotting the small changes that make a lift feel easier.

“If I was to pick one word, it’d be family.”
Niamh works with a lot of members who are returning to exercise after a long gap or an injury, and is good at making the first few weeks feel manageable.
Whoever is running your session, this is how they’ll coach.
Watching how you move, not just counting reps.
Easy to ask, whatever the question.
Coaching you, not the room.
Every exercise explained and shown before you do it.
The same standard in every session, from every coach.
Noticing progress and saying so.
A small training space in the club grounds, shared with no more than nine other members at a time. Nobody is performing, and nobody is judging.
