Hyrox Affiliated Gym

Your coach and yourphysio are in thesame building.

We're a family-run fitness, physio and performance studio on Main Street in Ballyboughal. Every session here is coached, the groups stay small, and when something tightens up you are not waiting weeks to get it looked at.

Stephen and Laura Harold, over 30 years of combined experience. Meet them.

Start where you actually are.

Nearly everyone walks in at one of four points. Pick yours, and you will see who you would be working with, what happens first, and what it costs.

The handover

I'm coming back from an injury.

This is the part that usually falls between two buildings.

Physiotherapy and coaching, in the same unit, in the same week.

Talk to us about coming back

Whichever one you pick, you are in the same unit on Main Street. That is the point of doing both under one roof: nothing gets lost being handed between two buildings.

Build your week.

Here is our whole timetable, every class we run. Tell us how often you can realistically get here and we will light up the week that fits, and show you what it costs.

What we run

A maximum of twelve people in a class, premium service, and suitable for every level of fitness. The colour on the timetable tells you what you are walking into.

You cannot train here on your own.

Every hour on that timetable is supervised. The floor is only open to members, personal training clients and physiotherapy patients, which is how we keep our groups small enough to actually coach.

Who you will be working with

Stephen and Laura.

A family-run studio, which in practice means the person writing your training and the person treating your injury talk to each other every day.

Physiotherapy

When something goes wrong, you do not leave the building.

The treatment room is down the corridor from the gym floor. That is the whole advantage: the person who rehabs you can watch you train, and the person who coaches you knows exactly what you have been told to avoid.

  • Injury rehabilitation
  • Return to play
  • Pre and post surgical
  • Sports screening
  • Injury prevention
  • Dry needling
  • Soft tissue massage
Everything else

The rest of it, priced.

“I understood I needed to rehab but I was terrified of having more pain or doing more damage. In no time I had total trust in Stephen's ability to direct, encourage and instruct me on my road to recovery. He's been an amazing coach. Full of empathy and yet very objective at keeping one on target, a wonderful skill mix.”
