“I worked with Mick over a period of 12 weeks. Appointments were easily made, that suited my working life at a time that suited me.
The Eating Freely programme was as much a deep dive into my psyche as it was coaching back to eating in a more sustainable way. Mick used tools such as the HALT chart, videos and other tools that were emailed to me straight after the session to help me on my journey.
I found the programme very structured, engaging and interesting. I learned and applied the concepts delivered to the parts of my life that needed changing. It was a new way of looking at the reasons why I indulged in foods and offered tools to change my approach to eating. Mick made the material simple, was empathetic and followed up with any questions/support I needed. I never felt judged or embarrassed.
I’d recommend this programme and Mick to anyone who has tried a lot of diets and needs a new way to a more sustainable way of living.”

“Park life online training was a life saver for me, even though I worked right through the lock down, I logged on to Mick’s classes most evenings and very rarely missed my favourite class of the week, Saturday morning boot camp. Since the lock down was lifted I’ve been going to the evening classes in Redmond Park. I’ve realised Park life is the way to go. So good for the body and your mental health. Thank you Mick.”

“I was recommended to Mick Kelly at Total Fitness Systems back in 2015. At the time I was very unfit, with low energy levels. Five years later, I’m much healthier, stronger and fitter. And – more importantly – I’m still enjoying the classes. From Day 1, the classes at Total Fitness Systems have been a place of welcome and fun. It doesn’t matter what your age, shape or physical fitness is, everyone is welcome. I’ve been in classes with every age group from young adults to 70+. There’s something there for everyone. Mick is interested in ‘the whole person’ – fitness, mental attitude, nutrition, strength – and this is evident in his dedication and support. His classes are varied and interesting. Since the start of COVID 19, all of the classes have moved online and outdoors: This means I can keep up my fitness with maximum flexibility – mixing it up between online sessions and ‘Park Life’ (the outdoor, park sessions). I have no hesitation in recommending Mick and Total Fitness Systems to anyone looking for an excellent and supportive health and fitness environment. ”

“Having identified the need for core strengthening and increased fitness the Physical Therapist I was attending recommended me to Mick Kelly’s Gym at Total Fitness. I started with some individual Personal Trainer sessions, which for me were terrific as they increased my confidence, understanding and commitment to the programme. Mick’s guidance and interest in the programme he developed for me in relation to weight training, fitness and nutrition has continued over the years. He ensures for me and all those who like me attend classes that they are of a high standard for fitness training and also enjoyable, right up to and including the Park Sessions which he has run throughout the Covid time. A great Gym to be part of , now and into the future!”

“March 2020 was a leap into the unknown for everyone. As time went on, people were forced into making difficult decisions. For Mick it was how to keep the business going while maintaining the high standards he set himself and his club members. Opting for the great outdoors and going online has proved to be a bold and successful move, and things are going really well now, everyone has bought into it and reaping the benefits of Mick’s variety of routines, workouts, care, huge knowledge and professionalism as a coach and as a man. May it continue for you Mick, all us lucky beneficiaries. You deserve every success because you are top coach, nutritionist and most of all a top man.”

“For me the online training has been hugely beneficial. As someone who works full time to be able to do my workouts whenever it suits me is brilliant, I’m doing more sessions than i ever did in the gym. I have also found that working out along with Mick on the recording has helped me improve my form.
Having the option to train outdoors with the group is really lovely as you are getting to enjoy the social aspect that we all loved in the gym! And you couldn’t find a nicer group to train with. As always Mick is incredibly helpful with advice on training, nutrition and general wellbeing, and always encouraging, even more so since we went online as we all have a lot more contact. ”

“I have been training with Total Fitness Systems for over eight years. I started with Kettle bell training and moved on with the flow to many different ways to exercise. Mick Kelly, the trainer and proprietor never stops coming up with new ideas. He attracts a wonderful group of people, who are an absolute pleasure to train with. All the classes are different; I am never bored with the same old, same old. My body shape has changed, I been given so many compliments recently. When the lock down came he immediately took the ball and ran with it, providing zoom classes and classes in the park, which are filmed, so if you are unable to participate outside you can enjoy them in the comfort of your own home. He provides great nutritional advice and let’s face it exercise is only 30% of weight loss and toning, 70% is what we eat. I am even learning to box, which I thoroughly enjoy. There are ad hoc walks with the natural beauty of Wexford. I look forward to my classes every morning and my mind and body have certainly benefited from them.”

“I started the online training programme with Mick back in March when the lock down started and to be honest I wouldn’t be without it now. If anyone thought Mick Kelly was just about kettlebells you’re mistaken! From HIIT training, boxing, circuits, nutritional advice, body analysis, tailored training and even nature walks – he really caters for everyone!! I love the convenience of being able to do the classes when I want and he runs 8 different classes each week so there’s sooo much to choose from – the comradery and support from other group members is fantastic. A real team effort.”
