Beach Bootcamp has resumed following a two-year pause and is thriving. We welcome participants of all abilities, ensuring inclusive and supportive sessions. Each class begins with a gentle jog, followed by a comprehensive warm-up incorporating stretching and yoga. This leads into a full-body, bodyweight circuit targeting fat loss and strength, including boxing pad work. Sessions take place outdoors to energising classics, with an optional sea dip to conclude.

Having tried to start exercising again to few times over the last couple of years, a friend recommended Mick. He has transformed my fitness and strength. He has an uncanny ability to judge how hard I can work, and encourage me to that point, then stop me before I overdo it. I am enjoying exercising again. I can't recommend him highly enough! Arrange a taster session with him, you will not regret it!
Having just come back from skiing I found that I could easily pole where required, and now have the flexibility to skate thanks to improved hip movement. Life has been easier when the body gets regular use. I highly recommend both the exercise and Mick to guide and encourage you.

I couldn't recommend Mick at Hammer Fitness more, as someone who has tried the 'Gym' several times and either lost interest or not felt comfortable or known what to do having the direction, structure and organisation of professional instructor really has yielded results. With a personalised plan and a few months in I'm feeling both stronger and more confident. The friendly, approachable and personal sessions make the time fly by, Thank you sir !

Been a client with Mick for just over a year now. Initially I wanted to lose weight for my wedding and with Micks help I did! wedding dress did not even need altered. Very motivated personal trainer who pushes you to do more than what you think you can do. He also happily adapts exercises if there are any issues and always listens. Very knowledgeable guy, always enjoy our sessions. I am so much fitter and stronger than I thought I could be. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I have been training with Mick now for 6 months and I have notice my body changing for the better! I was cycling 3 times a weeks ( 80-100 miles) and I thought I was fit until I tried my first session with Mick, I could hardly move for a few days. Both my wife and myself have two sessions a week with Mick and we even look forward to these sessions. Mick always arrives the house on time with all the equipment and is always full of enthusiasm, he is even known to join in with the training. I feel a lot stronger and healthier and would recommend 'Mick the Boxer' to all!

I had fully intended to start exercising probably years ago but never quite got around to it. A physical job kept me fit and strong in my twenties and thirties but alas I was finding the next decade much tougher to attain any decent degree of either! Eventually I bit the bullet and gave Mick a call, knowing I would require help, support and a good shove in the right direction. It was tough at the start as I could barely manage a lonely sit up!
Throughout the 10 week block of training twice per week Mick managed to get me to a point where I fully enjoyed and looked forward to the work outs and I was able to complete the list of 10 blasters in one session. This seemed like an impossibility at the start. Every session was tailored to what I could manage plus a little bit more - I could feel an improvement in my fitness every week. Mick exudes positivity and an enviable enthusiasm and drive which is a profound motivator. I feel rejuvenated and am continuing to work with Mick ongoing

I have come back recently to Mick after a 2 year break. Always a brilliant workout session, works to your level and challenges you to do better at each visit. Has an array of equipment to use and always encourages you to give your best. I have seen a difference in my physical ability in the few sessions I have had and always look forward to going. Also plays very good music to rock out to while you work up a sweat. Would recommend Hammer Fitness NI if you want a workout tailored to your needs and you want to see results.

Mick has trained me for a few months now, and with just one session a week I've lost weight, and feel much fitter, and really enjoy exercising. His style is perfect for a coach: he mixes up each workout so they are never boring, and he is able to get you to push yourself without being pushy! I thoroughly recommend Mick!
