The 10 best personal trainers in Dublin

TPC Women-Only Gym Dublin provides group and one-to-one personal training for women of different ages, abilities and starting points. The private studio supports goals including weight loss and strength, with sessions adapted around injuries, medical conditions and movement restrictions.

Group sessions last approximately 45 minutes, with most members training two to three times weekly. Trainers plan, track and adjust training and nutrition, so members can focus on carrying out the session. The gym is in the Dún Laoghaire and Deansgrange area, beside Lidl on Pottery Road, with on-site parking. A private women’s-only training studio can suit people who feel uncomfortable in conventional gyms.

Body Buddies provides one-to-one personal training for complete beginners, busy people and those looking to improve strength, fitness or health. Each session offers dedicated trainer attention, a tailored programme, body-composition analysis and nutrition guidance, with progress tracked through regular check-ins.

The private studio has three separate training rooms, creating a focused setting for individual coaching. Two-to-one training is also available for friends or couples who want shared accountability, support and cost-sharing. Programmes are offered in 8-, 12- and 36-session packages, with no contracts and flexible scheduling. A free trial session is available for people who want to experience the training before choosing a package.

CMB GYM Personal Training provides private one-to-one coaching in Dublin city centre for people working towards fat loss, muscle growth, strength or broader fitness goals.

Sessions are designed for busy professionals as well as clients of different ages, genders and fitness levels. CMB Gym is directed by Darragh Hayes, whose stated expertise covers fitness training, nutrition and body transformations.

Element Health Fitness Performance combines small-group personal training, one-to-one coaching, physical therapy and nutrition consultations at its seafront Clontarf facility. Every session is led by a full-time coach and limited to a maximum of six people, allowing exercises to be adapted to individual goals, injuries, mobility and experience.

New members begin with an initial one-to-one assessment before moving into a six-week foundation programme. Training can cover strength and conditioning, running and wider performance goals, with remote coaching available for people whose schedules do not suit every in-person session. Members can also access in-house nutrition support and a weekly run club.

Small-group personal training for women is the central offer at SixFour Fitness in Dublin 2. The private studio supports busy women with coached strength and fitness sessions, nutrition guidance and accountability, including a six-week Kickstart programme.

Sessions last 45 minutes and can run up to three times a week, with plans designed around a full schedule rather than daily gym visits. Training can also focus on midlife strength, body composition, performance or recovery, while one-to-one training is available. No more than six women to a coach keeps the format smaller than a conventional class, with coaching and feedback built into each session. The studio is designed exclusively for women.

Strength and conditioning programmes at Performance Dynamics are built for people training for life or sport, with coaching aimed at strength, speed and endurance. The gym also offers performance testing and an Athlete Development Programme, alongside sports physiotherapy.

Young athletes aged 10 to 14 can join the Youth Athlete Academy in Sandyford, where small-group athletic development is available. Performance testing uses VALD force plates to measure strength, power and speed, with a coach walking each athlete through the results. Individual programmes built from force-plate testing give training a measurable starting point for sporting development and rehabilitation support.
