BASE TESTIMONIALS

I started training with Nicole in December 2021. I hadn't been in the gym in a while because of some health issues, but wanted to get in shape and build strength both for my own long-term health but also to get in shape for my wedding! Nicole was amazing from day 1. She was supportive and made the training environment seem safe and much less daunting. She has always pushed me to try new things, whether that is lifting heavier or doing a new exercise. I have achieved so much in the last few months, none of which would have been possible without Nicole! The full experience has been so helpful for me - weekly check-ins and help in setting goals for macros and calories has helped me to stay on track. Nicole's knowledge of functional fitness and how nutrition and other factors affect our ability to train is honestly mind-blowing. I am always learning from her and to top it all off she's a lovely, kind, funny, empathetic and driven person. If you're considering personal training, look no further. You won't regret it!

Nicole and Aidean are the most professional, knowledgeable and approachable people. I'm so glad to be a client of theirs and really feeling the mental and physical benefits of their training. 10/10!

My experience so far has been beyond phenomenal! Sarah has been such an amazing coach and a mentor to me, guiding me throughout this whole journey. There was a time when walking into a gym scared me and weights just intimidated me. But after suffering from an ankle injury leading to excessive weight gain... I came across BASE gym and went in for a free consultation session. I walked out as a new person after that session! Sarah motivated me and helped me believe that every goal that I talked about is achievable and this will be more of a journey. I highly recommend BASE fitness to everyone who is looking to be sustainably fit for a long term. It's not just a gym, it's a community and it's a family. Everyone at BASE greets you with the widest smiles and the highest possible energy!

Nicole and Aidean are great trainers ,they give really personalised programs, recommend them enough !

I started training with Nicole in June 2021. I was nervous starting at the gym because i find gyms quite intimidating and I would not have known what to do in the gym but Nicole could not have been more encouraging and motivating. She is very hard working and considerate to her clients as regarding work schedules. Her workouts were tough and challenging but week after week I saw my form and my strength improve and results started to show after only a few weeks. Nicole is a fantastic trainer and she is extremely dedicated to her job. I dreaded every session but I always left feeling happy and stronger afterwards and this is all thanks to Nicole. I would highly recommend Nicole

Fantastic, enjoyable and challenging personal training. Very professional, consistently a positive place to walk into. Really approachable exercise and plans.

Absolutely love personal training with Nicole and Aidean. Have been struggling with perimenopause symptons for the past number of months and their support and postivity has been second to none! The personal training helps not only with the physical side of things but also its great for the mind! Would happily recommend them to anyone.

I started working with Nicole in May 2021 in preparation for my Wedding and completed two cycles with her. I have completed PT programs before and I have never seen the results I saw this time around. This was my first time focusing on my diet as I was always skeptical of how maintainable "diets" are but I was wrong. Nicole provided me with the tools and education in understanding how to fuel my body and understand why consistency is key (my portion sizes were out of control before this). I loved that this wasn't a chicken, rice and broccoli approach and I could still eat what I wanted. The result spoke for themselves and while there were some check ins with slow progress, Nicole never dwelled on that and we started the following week with the intention and mindset to improve. There was never a stupid question and Nicole was always available for catch up. The workouts were diverse and challenging and I saw my strength and form improve very quickly. Getting a workout in and the step count in have now become part of my routine and my life is better for it!Nicole is the full package and cares about you mentally, physically and emotionally. I am happier in myself mentally and physically since trusting Nicole and the process. Consistency is the key to sustaining your goal and Nicole is the person to kick start you on your journey. Thank you Nicole :)

Given brilliant commitment and advice during each step of my journey. Would definitely recommend to a friend. Gym is lovely and spacious and equipment is exactly what you need to get fit and build up strength. So far all sessions have Been done with aidean who is definitely friendly and intelligent.

I would highly recommend BASE fitness. Nicole and Aidean are so welcoming and have made training such a fun experience. They help you make gradual and sustainable changes that help make you a fitter and healthier person. The progress they have helped me make in just a few weeks is so much more then anything I’ve managed going to a gym by myself. Could not recommend them enough!

I approached Nicole at BASE fitness just over a month ago for some much needed help. Both Aidean and Nicole have been nothing but patient and helpful on my journey so far. They are super knowledgeable at the service they provide and each session is unique to the clients individual needs. The space they have created has a wonderful atmosphere and I would not hesitate in recommending BASE fitness if you are looking for a professional service.

I trained consistently with Nicole for 12 weeks doing 2 personal training sessions a week in person before emigrating and had amazing results both in fat loss and muscle gain! Nicole is super supportive and attentive with clients, she incorporated specific exercises I really wanted to learn and I wanted feel comfortable doing on my own in a gym setting - which we achieved in no time with her guidance and her teaching me the techniques!I have a previous knee injury and we worked to strengthen the knee without over working it (which is one major bonus I am so delighted about) Nicole also adjusted my sessions to work well with other cardio classes I was going to - so I was never burnt out!I now train a few times a day in CrossFit classes and gyms here in Asia and I would have never been able to even consider joining prior to training with Nicole.she has a fantastic approach - very friendly and so helpful!

Aidean and Nicole are both incredible trainers. They created a training program specific to my goals and ability. I mostly work with Aidean. She is full of positive energy and pushes me without being a drill sergeant. Thanks girls. I always look forward to my sessions.

Absolutely fab! Nicole and Aideann are so motivating and really flexible in their approach. The gym is great with no hassle parking and the online booking system is ideal when work isn’t a set 9-5 to fit sessions around your own schedule.

Amazing girls that they do an amazing job to look after what you want! They use dynamic exercises (except the reverse lunges) to make your training easier.For sure highly recommended!!!See you in September!

Nicole and Aidean are great! The training is super tailored to my ability and they are so encouraging. Such a comfortable and empowering environment to work out in.

Nicole and Aidean are great coaches really encouraging, motivating and passionate about what they do. The gym has a lovely atmosphere and I would highly recommend Base Fitness to anyone

Nicole is a true professional. In the time that I was in training with her she instilled a confidence and resilience in my physical movement which I have not experienced before and I learned a lot from her. She's tough and kind in the right measures. I would highly recommend Nicole as a PT.

I started training with Nicole in May 2021. She is very passionate about her job and a perfectionist. I have become much more confident in the gym and stronger since starting with Nicole. Each session she pushes me hard and i always surprise myself with my abilities and achievements. I always come out buzzing and extremely satisfied after each session. Couldnt recommend Nicole & Aideen more highly.

I started training with Aidean about 6 months ago, I was very nervous about doing PT and weight training in general but Aidean put my mind at ease straight away. Both Aidean and Nicole are so knowledgeable and tailor the training to suit your level and needs. Their positivity is infectious and I always leave feeling great and motivated. I would highly recommend them.

I began PT sessions with Aidean in December ‘21 and have more recently began the small group personal training with Aidean and Nicole. The girls are both so knowledgeable, encouraging, and hard working. I highly recommend this supportive environment to anyone considering signing up.

Nicole and Aidean are the best in the business! You couldn't ask for two better trainers and it helps that they're kind, encouraging and supportive too!

Cannot recommend all at NB Fitness enough! When I started the gym in summer with Nicole I had no knowledge of strength training and found gyms quite intimidating. Thanks to Nicole I am continually hitting PBs in the gym and walk out of every session absolutely delighted with the progress I’ve made! If I was doing the trainings myself I would never believe I could be doing the weights I am now you just need the push. Nicole and Aideen are great coaches and keep you motivated throughout!!

I first started with Nicole in June as I'm getting married next year but also felt I wasn't so motivated due to the past year with lockdowns etc. I never thought I would get the results I have while still enjoying the odd few drinks or meal out. I've learned so much from nutrition to training. I also didn't know how bad my posture was but now it has improved so much with home mobility exercises. Its crazy to see even the little improvements each week, if its an extra couple of reps or a heavier weight, I love it!Upon the initial call I knew this is exactly what I needed. Had a check in at my first PT session and check in each week, even seeing the difference in the photos from where I started until now is just wow, how the time flew and I enjoyed every minute of it :-) From each week on Nicole was always there if I needed to ask a question, no matter how silly it might have been! :-P The information and communication is second to none.I am enjoying the process and honestly didn't think I would still be doing it but I've changed my relationship with food and training for long term not just short term and its all down to Nicole! We still have another few months to go which I'm so grateful for and look forward to it all.I would highly recommend Nicole, an amazing coach and human being :-)

My health and fitness journey started with Nicole in person when she was in Australia, prior to the lockdown and continues today with much success! When Melbourne went into lockdown in 2020, Nicole and I continued our program and she was and has been a driving force in my mental and physical health. During this time she also made the move back home to Ireland and she didn’t miss a beat with me, showing up to every training session prepared and with her famous big, wide smile!Nicole excels as a trainer and a human! She understands that one program does not fit all and she has worked with me on my specific goals of maintaining health and building strength, pivoting along the way as needed. I also admire and appreciate how she worked with mentors to help her better train and work with me and all of her lucky clients. Also impressive is that her in person training mirrors her on-line virtual training programs, with detail to each and every exercise and my form!This truly is her life’s work and I also appreciate how she leads by example with her active, healthy lifestyle and choices.I'll end with this: Nicole delivers as a trainer and a human and is pure sunlight. I am a luckier person to have her take me on this journey.

I would highly recommend online personal fitness training from Nicole which I received as a mothers day gift initially from my daughter who was attending personal training with Nicole.What a great gift I did receive and my body definitely needed it and continues to need it.As a late comer to personal training I was provided with appropriate fitness training under Nicole who works with one at the level they are at.She provided guided training at each session and I quickly realized the importance of strength training as one ages.Each exercise was carried out by her first and I was guided all the way through and corrected if I attempted to carry out the routines in the wrong manner which was of great solace to me.There was great guidance from Nicole who made sure I did not injure myself in any way.I could contact her by email at anytime if I needed to ask her any question about my routines or if I was unsure of what workout I should be doing.It has greatly empowered me and I feel much fitter following the training from a true professional and she has given me the tools to continue this essential training alternate days each week.This personal training is invaluable to maintain healthy bones and strength and improved balance as one ages as one needs to reduce the risk of falls and fractures and posssible hospitalisation.My fitness has improved greatly since I took up personal training thanks to Nicoles guidance.

Amazing trainer - honest, kind, enthusiastic and a total professional. Works very hard for her clients and makes you feel like you're part of a team. Great communication and motivation throughout. Goes the extra mile to help her clients live healthier and happier lives. Can't recommend Nicole highly enough!

I would definitely recommend Nicole and Aidean to all my family and friends. They will help you matter what your goal is and they are both very experienced which is excellent. I have previously done PTs with Aidean and always left the gym feeling better than when I walked into the gym. The sign of a great service.

I approached Nicole for help with the intention of getting fitter healthier and more flexible . Nicole listened attentively to my needs, injuries and concerns. She started me off very slowly and patiently building on this all the time watching that I was doing the exercise correctly to avoid injury. It was Nicole's encouragement and humour that keep me going. She also advise me about the importance of fueling the body with the correct foods & water to sustain me through the day and of course the daily walks& fresh air. Nicole even advised me to buy waterproof cloths for the rainy Irish weather. She was not joking with this. I would highly recommend Nicole she is an amazing coach!!

I started with Nicole in June 2021. It was difficult getting back into a gym routine after lockdown but Nicole was super encouraging and motivating. She really helped me with my short-term goals and helped me put a good plan in place to achieve my long-term goals. The weekly check-ins really keep me on track and accountable. I look forward to our PT sessions and always leave feeling great! Nicole is really professional and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

I started training with Aidean in April 2022 and am very happy with the progress we have made through our PT sessions! Aidean and Nicole are both really positive and inspirational! They tailor my weekly workouts to suit my ability. Initially I started by strength training for the half marathon in June and they took my goal into account when putting together the workouts. I asked for a gym program for the days I don’t have PT also and they were happy to provide them. Aidean is very positive towards events and nights out I have planned. I am able to track meals on these days without fear of being reprimanded if my calories are over. I find this flexibility so important for staying on track long term! I look forward to all my sessions with Aidean, she pushes me to hit PBs that I didn’t think I could reach. She’s always happy to answer any questions I have and I am always learning new things! She’s also a really lovely person. The new space they opened is fabulous - bright, airy and welcoming! I feel so much better physically and mentally through working with Aidean and Nicole. I am overall really happy with the experience and looking forward to seeing what we achieve together going forward!

I cannot begin to describe how brilliant Base Fitness is. The girls are so motivating and make you feel like you can and will achieve anything. They put the personal into personal training and make sure that each session you do is always at the best pace possible. They both work with such an air of can do, positivity, perfectionism , kindness and professionalism while also being great fun and making you smile.I originally started with Nicole in 2018 in a different gym at 27 stone and when I heard she had opened back up in Cork I literally ran to the door- Her kindness, empathy and understanding of a battle she has never faced is something I will always be grateful for. Her words never left me and in the rough times I always remember her telling me that I was well able to do this and I am so glad to still be working out and on the road to a happier life.Honestly, if you are scared, nervous and worried- this is normal and ok. I would urge you to take the step and go into Nicole and Aidean- they will 100% help you and guide you into changing your life.I adore the place and it is not only a gym but it is like a therapy room- I always walk out stronger- physically & mentally.Thank you ladies! x

I began training with Nicole in June 2021 and from the off I have found her to be such a positive person. I find her method in training excellent, she teaches you to get your technique right and build from there. I started running in January 2021 and when I came to Nicole my original goal was to get stronger for running and run 10 miles, since then I have completed 2 half marathons! I now have a quest adventure race to look forward to, all down to her encouragement and coaching. I really enjoy my sessions and look forward to future challenges. I would highly recommend Nicole and Aidean

I would highly recommend NB Fitness Health. I have been working with Nicole for the last number of months and I have found her to be hugely knowledgeable, highly professional, very encouraging and is really invested in her clients and their progress. She really has made a significant impact on my overall fitness and strength and has helped me to achieve my goals which I always thought were attainable only for the few. With Nicole's custom made programme and guidance, I now know that the results I am looking for are attainable.
