"I lost over 10kg and dropped to 13.5% bodyfat from an initial measurement of 33%. To say I was delighted with the results was an understatement"

I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Edge team. With a need for lifestyle changes and a wedding to get in shape for, the Edge was recommended by a friend and I started with personal trainer David. As someone who never really stuck at a gym program I knew it would take determination but under the excellent guidance of David, combined sessions in Strongwoman, Fitcamp, Kim's Bootcamp and dietary changes, I quickly found myself achieving results I never imagined possible. 

I lost over 10kg and dropped to 13.5% bodyfat from an initial measurement of 33%. To say I was delighted with the results was an understatement.

I really enjoy the lifestyle changes and look forward to keeping it up in a wonderful, friendly, albeit physically challenging environment. I can't recommend David and the Edge Team enough.

"In 5 months I lost 3.5 stone. I dropped 4 dress sizes and I felt amazing on our wedding day"

By the time I came to The Edge I had been trying to lose weight for almost 2 years. I'd tried intense exercise and faddy diets that left me starving but no lighter. Having trained hard in college and eaten well I'd changed overnight when I started working to a lifestyle of long hours, no exercise and fast foods eaten at the wrong times. I put on the weight really fast, in under a year and once it went on, it stayed put for 3 years.

When I went to Dave it was 5 months before my wedding. I hadn't bought a wedding dress as I didn't want to order it in the size I was but I was getting very close to the date. Dave was brutally honest. He told me I needed to totally overhaul my approach to food and exercise. He drew up a personalised food and exercise plan for me and checked in regularly to see how I was getting on. He doesn't accept excuses because he knows that if you follow his programe you end up lean, strong and healthy and it is that simple.  I quickly realised that If I didn't perform and follow the programme he would stop training me! 

Adjusting to a new way of eating and exercise wasn't as hard as I'd expected, once I got results I felt really motivated. Looking better in clothes, feeling healthier, compliments from colleagues, family and friends strengthened my resolve to stick to it. Most things in life are habit and once you form new ones your body just adjusts.

In 5 months I lost 3.5 stone. I dropped 4 dress sizes and I felt amazing on our wedding day.

For anyone who wants to try but is embarrassed or afraid, the best advice I can give is to just pick up the phone or drop in. The lads in The Edge

all love what they do and have a passion for health and fitness that is infectious and really motivational. I came looking for weight loss, I got that and a lot more besides: a healthier, fitter me.

People often ask why I still go to a personal trainer mainly due to the cost. For me it's very simple, the cost of a session is a the same as a night out and the training is better for me. It may mean I buy less clothes but I look better in the ones I have. Fitness and health is a lifelong priority for me now and I couldn't imaging returning to my old habits. I benefit from Dave's ongoing research every week.He's constantly tweaking my programme, challenging my fitness andmaking       me aware of nutritional facts that help me improve the way I eat and train.

"I have become stronger, leaner and healthier"

I originally went to The Edge to get leaner. Working with James, I dropped from 105kg and 15% body fat to 100kg and 6.7% in less than a year. Having a background in Rugby and Athletics, I decided to try my hand at Powerlifting.

After another 6 months of more specific strength training at The Edge, I won a national drug free title. Under James' guidance I have become stronger, leaner and healthier. I would recommend The Edge to anybody, no matter what your goals are.

"The EDGE has changed my life"

The EDGE (David Mulqueen) has changed my life. I had no motivation, felt tired all the time and looked and felt sluggish. Then within 3 months of training and good nutrition, I started to feel great. 2 years on, I am hooked and couldn't live without it! I have put on 8kgs of lean muscle and dropped 10% bodyfat. I look forward to continuing my progress and getting even better results.

I started training at The Edge Clontarf 4 years ago. Then I weighed 76kg and was 18% body fat. Today I’m weighing in at a healthy 89kg and hold at about 10% body fat year-round. At the age of 34 I'm fitter, stronger, leaner and faster than I was when I was 24. I can't recommend The Edge highly enough. If you are serious about your health, give them a call!

Since I started with Ciaran at The Edge 6 months ago I have learnt a huge amount about the correct way to train, about nutrition and I have managed to lose over two stone. I have also met an extremely professional and committed trainer. I have never been fitter and I always look forward to training with the team in The Edge.

"Brendan Swan has been the driving force behind me changing my life"

I have been dieting since i was 11 and have always been big boned! Over the years I have spent thousands on gym memberships, wraps, pills, colonics and most embarrassingly liposuction on 5 different area's! Still big bones and unhappy after all that i was not overly confident on my first trip to The Edge. I thought i would go in and get mortified buy some magic beans and leave big boned and unhappy. Instead i met Brendan Swan! He has been the driving force behind me changing my life. He has taught me how to eat and sleep, and also taught me that no one is perfect and it's ok to have bad days as long as you follow them with a good one! At The Edge you don’t just become physically stronger you become Mentally stronger!! I am not there yet but I know I will be soon and it's thanks to Brendan!

Lost 9kgs and 11% Bodyfat - " I will look my best on the day and I feel strong, fit, energetic and so proud"

I began in earnest, fearing failure and fearing change. Today I weighed in at 60kgs which is 9k less than when I began and 9% less body fat. I basically went from almost 11 stone (yikes) to 9.5 stone and from 25% body fat to 14% - in 11 weeks! My wedding is in 3 weeks and I am beyond excited. I feel confident that I will look my best on the day and I feel strong, fit, energetic and so proud.

"I lost 15kgs and 22% Bodyfat thanks to The Edge" 

I lost 15kg of weight and 22% bodyfat after 12 weeks training at The Edge Clontarf. This is entirely down to their amazing trainers and facilities. The amazing support and motivation I received coupled with the incredible nutritional advice and their in-depth knowledge of training meant I achieved my goals in a healthy and sustainable way.

The Strongman and boxing classes are a particular favourite of mine which I believe everyone should try out. I would recommend The Edge Clontarf to anyone, there is no better place in Ireland to train.

"I lost 2 dress sizes, feel much healthier, fitter and more confident....I would recommend it to anyone!"

Six months ago I started training with Ciarán at The Edge and my lifestyle has completely changed. I have lost 2 dress sizes, dropped to 14% body fat and my energy levels have shot up. I feel much healthier, fitter and more confident, and now I look forward to the personal training and strongwoman twice a week. Without the right support and guidance from Ciarán and the whole team at The Edge, I couldn’t have done it and I would recommend it to anyone!".

Without losing drastic amounts of weight, Chloe has completely changed her body compisition, dropping a dress size and proves it's not all about the scales. Bodyfat loss and lean muscle gain will yield great results in changing your body shape.

"I qualified for the European and World Championships because of my performance in the Nationals"

In Febuary I decided to try my chances at powerlifting, and in April I qualified for the European and World Championships because of my performance in the Nationals. I am currently training for the Worlds which take place in November. I owe it all to James and the whole team at The Edge. James pushes me past barriers and plateaus with his personally tailored programmes to focus on my weaknesses and strengths. 

I also would like to thank Bren and Ciaran for the torture on the seafront! And everyone else for their support and tips. The aim now is to become World Champion and there's no better team to have behind you then The Edge: Clontarf!"

I have always been into sports and the gym. I started with The Edge after a string of nasty injurys.  I was 127 Kgs and 29.84% Bodyfat. But though hard work and determination with the right diet and training with james I transformed my life. I am now 100 kilos and 13.4 % bodyfat. I am still determind as ever to reach my goals with eating well and training with The Edge.

"I have dropped 14kgs, which is over 2 stone and dropped over 2 dress sizes.....I feel amazing"

When I started training at The Edge, I was nervous because my fitness levels were at an all time low and I had tried every diet imaginable without any success. However I was made feel completely comfortable and left my first consultation feeling positive and actually looking forward to training for the first time in my left. it was tough at times but thanks to my brilliant and patient trainer, Stephen I managed to reach my goals.

"I dropped from a respectable 12% bodyfat to an astonishing 4%"

I started training at the edge  this summer, in an attempt to get back in shape after long months of studying for my leaving cert. My goals were simple lose bodyfat and put on lean muscle. I had high expectations upon commencing my diet and program but the results i achieved after 5 weeks even left me dumb-founded and it was hard to believe that was me in the after picture.

I dropped from a respectable 12% bodyfat to an astonishing 4%, all thanks to the excel lent guidance of James and co. Thanks to James i am now in the shape of my life and i feel fantastic. For me it would have been impossible to even come close to this without the support and expertise of everyone at the Edge.

Without a doubt I would recommend the Edge to anybody, no matter what their goal is, with help from the James and all the lads at the edge any goal is obtainable.

Although I have trained in Gyms for years. It is only since I have been training with David at the Edge that I have found I have got the results I wanted. The Edge is a very positive encouraging environment. It has a very straight forward and pragmatic approach to both exercise and diet. I look forward to my visits to the Edge Clontaf, they are invaluable. I have manged to get myself into the best shape of my life and my health is at an all time high.

In that time I’ve made considerable strength gains and my body fat has dropped from 18% to 13.5%. I really enjoy myself in the gym now, as opposed to seeing it as a chore and my performance in sport has improved. In addition to great results I enjoy the sessions.

"In less than four months, through a weekly training session and expert and realistic nutritional advice , I lost over three stone"

I decided to contact The Edge Clontarf. In less than four months , through a weekly training session and expert and realistic nutritional advice , I lost over three stone. My cholesterol is now 3.5 and my energy levels have rocketed which has been great for my work/life balance as I run a busy company. I would highly recommend using The Edge to anyone in the same position. Most of all the training was never intimidating and I feel much more confident using the gym equipment now. Added to all this is the priceless benefit of being in good health.

I started training with David at The Edge, approximately 2 years ago with my background mainly being in triathlon and long distance cycling.This year with the guidanc of Dave I decided to change my focus to weight training and get over my fear of “weights” and the negativity I had surrounding them.  I now train 4 times per week with my aim being to reach the goals set by  Dave.  I have found these goals hard but achievable and I am enjoying the results of same. I have added over 10kgs of muscle and feel my body has completely changed shape.

"The Edge thought me the importance of looking after myself and the effect has been amazing"

As a singer and dancer I found myself struggling with injuries and niggles. With the help from the guys at The Edge, I was able to complete a very rigerous schedule without any effect on my body at all. On top of that, I felt so much more confident, as my fitness improved so did my confidence and performance. 

The Edge thought me the importance of looking after myself and the effect has been amazing. The 2 1/2 hours a week spent training in the Edge has been more beneficial to my body and health than the 10 hours spent dancing each week.

My initial measurement was a body fat at 27% and within in a year under guidance of The Edge I have dropped to 10.9% body fat whilst losing 20kilos along the way.  

With advice and training programmes from David my performance has increased by a ridiculous amount. I’m fitter and stronger now at 34 than I was when I was 20.

The advice and training I have received at the Edge has transformed my health, physique and work life. Not only has it helped make me fitter and healthier than I have ever been but the increased energy and focus I have from better nutrition and regular training has made me much more productive at work. Weekly boxing and strongman sessions are a great stress relief and I can't recommend the trainers highly enough. Better looking and better paid, what else do you need!!"

"vast improvements in my fitness, strength, energy, digestion and overall health"

I had always been a regular gym goer but when I started training with the Edge a year ago I have noticed vast improvements in my fitness, strength, energy, digestion and overall health. No matter what problems you are having there is always expert advice tailored especially for you to meet your goals. I also attend the Edge group fitness activates such as Kims Bootcamp, Female Fitcamp, Boxing and Strongwoman which is great for motivation and meeting others with similar goals.

"I was 13 stone and only 8 weeks away from playing the lead role.....on the first day of shooting the show I weighed 11 stone" 

I weighed 13 stone and was only 8 weeks away from playing the lead role in a six part TV comedy. I was told that television adds 10 pounds, so I gave up eating televisions! More importantly than that, I trained 3 days a week for those 8 weeks and on the first day of shooting the show I weighed 11 stone. Not only did I feel and look great, but I had the energy to film six days a week for the six weeks of the shoot. 'Personal trainer' is too small a term to describe David Mulqueen. He is more like a magician. He made 2 stone disappear from me in the blink of an eye. My girlfriend was so impressed she began training at The Edge herself in preparation for our wedding.

"The Edge...has  dramatically altered my appearance and my outlook on life. Three months on, I'm now 85kg and a lean 8.8%" 

Three months ago, thanks to a string of nasty injuries playing semi professional rugby, I was weighing in at a heavy 96kg and 20% body fat. It wasn't until I started training in "The Edge" that I was given the right information and nutritional plans to achieve my desired goals. This has dramatically altered my appearance and my outlook on life. Three months on, I'm now 85kg and a lean 8.8%.

"I dropped an amazing 15kgs and 13% bodyfat"

After years of playing rugby, I had brought myself up to a heavy 83kgs and 29% bodyfat. But thanks to Ciaran and the rest of the lads down at The Edge, in just four months, I dropped an amazing 15kgs and 13% bodyfat. For me, without the excellent advice and support from The Edge team, this transformation would not have been possible. I have noticed a serious positive impact on my energy levels, and feel leaner and healthier. I would strongly recommend The Edge to anyone, no matter what goal. The Edge thought me that hard training, and a simple diet would lead to great results.

When i started in the edge i was 117Kg and with the help of Brendan, i got down to 95Kg and still going down! I couldnt have done this without the help of Brendan and the edge team especially Brendan. Brendan Swan gave me a special Diet plan which i stuck to like a bible! I started doing Strongman which really helped me all round for sport and for life. I would strongly recommend the edge to anyone if you want to lose weight or build muscle, or even if your just looking to stay healthy! It's Perfect for everyone.

I have been plaing Gaelic Football all my life and weight training for a good few years but decided to step up my training. Since I have been training with Dave my size and strength have increased and my nutrition has improved a great deal. After suffering a serious injury, Dave helped me to rehabilitate, I am now bigger, stronger, healthier and looking forward to it continuing.

"The Edge got me into the best shape of my life for my wedding last year"

I have been training in The Edge Clontarf since it opened in February 2009, participating in everything from one on one training, buddy training, boxing, fitcamp & strongwoman. Even though I have worked in the fitness industry for many years, I have never achieved the results I achieved while under the monitoring of the trainers in The Edge, who got me into the best shape of my life for my wedding last year.

As I am now in my second trimester of pregnancy, my training has had to change a lot but I will continue to exercise throughout my pregnancy and I trust the trainers to get me back in shape again after I have my baby.

"I can now maintain a body fat of 10% through out the year"

When I started training at The Edge I was just coming out of a rugby season where I had a body fat of 26% and weighed just under 110kgs. Through goal specific programs and detailed diet plans James not only helped me to lose the the fat I was carrying but I became stronger in the process. I now weigh 92kgs and maintain a body fat of 10% through out the year.

Through my experience in The Edge I now have learned so much about nutrition and how to utilize it to get the best results out of your training. I highly recommend The Edge to anyone whether they're involved in training or just beginning as they offer wide variety of opportunities for you to really push yourself and achieve your goals.

"body fat went down to 7% without losing weight and energy levels remained good"

I did personal training with Brendan before going to Australia with the (winning!) Irish Aussie Rules team this year. My fitness levels were already good but while working with Brendan they went to a new level.. body fat went down to 7% without losing weight and energy levels remained good. Brendans knowledge and experience of all aspects of training meant he could give excellent pointers to add to a working routine to see much improved results faster. I'll be booking another session with Brendan when I decide on my next goal!

"I was 104kg and 22% body fat.... I am now 85kg and 17% body fat"

When i started in the edge I was 104kg and 22% body fat, i had never done any proper gym work but with the help of Brendan Swan I am now 85kg and 17% body fat after only 12 sessions. I've never felt better. I cant remember the last time i was 85kg and I am very close to reaching the goals i set at the start. I feel so much healthier and my energy levels have soared. I started doing strongman which increased my fitness levels dramatically, this has helped with my sport. I would strongly recommend the Edge Clontarf to anyone who wanted to lose weight, build muscle, get fitter or all of them combined.

I started training with Dave in the Edge gym after I stopped playing football. I had put on weight and my boday fat was high from not training and eating properly! I felt overweight and out of shape. Through training with Dave twice through the week and at the weekend I have dropped my boday fat from 18% to 11% and have improved my boday shape and added muscle. I have noticed a huge difference in my strenght and energy. Dave and the lads in the Edge have given me excellant advice on trainging and nutrition and are always there to answer any questions which is a huge help. The Edge is a really accomadating gym and will always work around a busy schedule so I can always train early in the morning or late in the evening. I also really enjoy the strogman sessions aswell as the boxing sessions!

"I was weighing in at about 150kg and nearly 30% bodyfat..... I am now down to 114kg and 15%"

Before I started in The Edge Clontarf I hadn't done alot of gym work and my diet was terrible, I played Rugby but I could no longer last the pace as my fitness levels had hit rock bottom. I realised something had to change as I was weighing in at about 150kg and nearly 30% bodyfat. James was recommended to me by a friend and with his help I am now down to 114kg and 15%  bodyfat, due to determination, a strict diet and an intense training regime. James pushed me hard to reach my goals and wouldnt allow me to quit on any exercise. Now my health, strength and fitness levels have vastly improved. As well as sessions with James i felt the Strongman with Brendan and Ciaran really helped as they also pushed me hard each and every week.  I would recommend The Edge Clontarf to anybody, no matter what your goals are

"my bodyfat dropped from 14.4% to 7.99%, my strength had gone up and my arm was in alot better shape"

I came to the Edge: Clontarf in june 2009 with the goal of increasing lean muscle mass, dropping unwanted bodyfat and increasing his relative strength needed for rugby. Anobsticle that I had to work around was that I had broke my ulna a month beforehand playing rugby. I was given a sport specific program with my goals in mind and also my injury taken into account. Within 3 weeks on my program the results were very visible, my bodyfat dropped from 14.4% to 7.99%, my strength had gone up and my arm was in alot better shape.

3 months into his program at The Edge: Clontarf John was at 4.7% bodyfat and increased hos lean mass by 6.2kg.

"If you want to look better in your jeans, don't go it alone. Ditch your annual subscription to a standard gym and reinvest the money in a series of one and one sessions with Ciaran at the Edge"

I have been attending The EDGE gym with Ciaran Mulqueen as my personal coach for 6 months and am absolutely delighted with the results. My original aim was to tone up ahead of a big event I was due to attend in June. Ciaran devised a well planned, targetted series of excersises and the results were so good I have continued attending the gym and now see it as an integral part of my fitness regime. I have tried many different kinds of excersise throughout my life but up until my husband recommended The Edge to me last March, I had never worked using weights and the many other machines you find in a gym. This was due to a fear of 'bulking up' and also being a little bit intimidated by all the gears, weights and levers. Ciaran has totally changed my view and I now see gym work as the excersise that will tone your body (by lowering body fat) and improve overall fitness more efficiently than any other excersise. He is professional, personable also extremely knowledgeable about diet and the muscular system. The atmosphere in the Edge is fun and relaxed on the one hand but also highly professional and focussed. If you want to look better in your jeans, don't go it alone. Ditch your annual subscription to a standard gym and reinvest the money in a series of one and one sessions with Ciaran at the Edge. There is no comparison in terms of value for money.

"it is a lifestyle change....body fat below 12 percent,increased lean muscle, stronger and healthier"

Over 7 years ago I started training with Dave Mulqueen as a result of an injury and under his expert and knowledge I have gone from strength and strength. It was the best decision I ever made.

Training with Dave is not just about lifting weights- although an important part, it is a lifestyle change.  In conjunction with the training Dave has provided me with excellent nutritional advice. As a result I have a very healthy well balance diet that allows me to eat with a good variety of food and even allow for 'treat days'.

After all these years training with Dave I continue to make progress- not only maintaining what I have achieved but improving on in it-body fat below 12 percent, increased lean muscle, stronger and healthier.  With Dave's guidance I have no motivational problem's when it comes to training. 

I love my training sessions in The Edge - they are tough but have to be to get results. Dave Mulqueen has made a real difference to my training and fitness- I'm hooked !

I have been training with Ciaran for the last five months. He has been a great motivator and has also pushed me to go that bit further. I am so pleased with the way he has guided me in my training. I have reduced my body fat and my fitness level has improved greatly. I enjoy his easy personality and enjoy the challenges he puts to me!. Dont let your age limit your aspirations to be fit and in good shape. The name THE EDGE is a great name for this team as you will be pushed to the edge of your capabilities and what a great experience. I am delighted that I joined Ciaran at THE EDGE.

"Within 3 months of training with David I dropped from 120 kilos to 102 kilos"

7 years ago I weighed 135 kilos and smoked approximately 40 cigarettes per day, I obviously had no energy and my health was anything but good. I was taking medication for both my heart and my stomach. I decided I had to do something about the weight as it was going up at a huge rate. The first thing I did was to stop smoking and I joined Westpoint gym in Blanchardstown, within 3 months I lost approximately 10 kilos but then it slowed dramatically. I kept up the training there for another year or so before changing to Westwood in Clontarf and there I met David Mulqueen and decided to start doing personal training with David, this was definitely the best thing I have done in a long time as not only did he totally transform my body he gave me a total new attitude on my life. Within 3 months of training with David I dropped from 120 kilos to 102 kilos so when David and James decided to open The Edge there was absolutely no thought needed about following the guys there. The Edge is not just a gym where people go to train but there is a really friendly atmosphere there where everyone helps and encourages each other. David and James are two of the nicest guys you could meet and I would encourage anyone that not only wants to lose weight and look better but also to give yourself a whole new attitude on life to go and meet these guys and start training in The Edge.

I have been training with Stephen for over a year, in that time we have concentrated on the key elements of dead lift, bench press and back squat. I weighed in at 114kg and now I am at 97kg, the goal is to get to 90kg.  As the weight suggest, I was not in any great physical shape when I walked in.  Over the first few months we stated doing a lot of cardio based exercise and gradually moved onto the weights.  The training in the Edge is different from your usual gym sessions that you go to in big complexes, it is much more focused, even for 30 minutes sessions and there is no let up.  Steve explains all the exercises as we go.  As I started to enjoy doing the heavy weights Steve set out some goals for me to aim for, we agreed the following goals for single lifts were to dead lift 180kg, bench press over 100kg and to back squat 140kg. 

My favourite exercise is the back squat and for some reason, it works for me We started lifting 60kg and we are now on our way to 150kg, roll on 200kg!   My overall conditioning has improved all round and I feel ready to take on new challenges. 

At times it has been a struggle and you seriously wonder why your paying these guys to inflict such pain on you, but you soon feel the benefits.  Especially in these stressful times, I enjoy looking forward to going to Steve at the Edge.  All the exercise has helped reduce my stress levels and improved my concentration in work. 

I thank Steve and the crew at the Edge for persisting with me.

"Since going to Steve at The Edge I have almost halved my body fat....This experience has changed my life and the way I live my life"

Since going to Steve at The Edge I have almost halved my body fat. I have toned up around my stomach and built muscle all over my body. I had been going to the gym for years but with Steve I have seen real results quickly and regularly been set new challenges. Steve has an extensive knowledge of training. He has taught me how to train correctly and shown me many exercise programs which I can use for life. Steve does not give you a quick fix, he encourages a lifestyle change through exercise and diet. His trainging programs were designed specically for me. I had problems with my knees so he created programs to strengten them slowly and eventually allowing me to play football again. He kept changing the programs which kept me excited about training and looking forward to gym time. The one to one personal training I got was fantastic. There is no place to hide. It helped to motivate me and push me to achieve results. The Edge gym has a great buzz to it, it is easy to workout and the people working there are very friendly. Steve not only focuses on exercise, but has also taught me about responsible eating and also the importance of stretching and resting my body. This experience has changed my life and the way I live my life.
