My 12 year old son attends Motiv8 fitness with his trainer Lauren for one to one sessions. My son has autism along with dyspraxia and sensory issues. We felt he needed to do something fitness related to help both strengthen him and for his overall health and wellbeing. He’s not a sporty kid, and struggles in groups so the one to one sessions are perfect for him. He’s been training with Lauren for 6 months and has really come a long way. I see improvements not only in his fitness but his confidence in himself also. Lauren has been incredible in how she has worked with him around his challenges and is so encouraging with him. He absolutely loves going to gym and has a great bond with Lauren. I would highly recommend Motiv8 gym and their staff.

My teenage son has been attending Motivate for personal training since early 2024 and he absolutely loves it. He has additional needs and so the one on one interaction is ideal. His trainer, Lauren, is always so patient, considerate and supportive with him. We can physically see the difference in him in his strength, his energy, his posture so we would strongly recommend Motivate Fitness.

Amazing place for every child but especially for kids with additional needs. After years of trying to find place where my daughter can exercise and make quality of her life better we found Motiv8 Fitness. She really enjoy to go there. Her 1:1 sessions with personal trainer give her opportunity to focus on her potentials and abilities and to adjust training to her needs. Recommend our lovely Lauren from the bottom of our hearts to all parents who look for place where they can keep their kids active and healthy! ❤️

I can’t speak highly enough of Kevin and Lauren at Motiv8 Fitness.
Their small group sessions strike the perfect balance between personal attention and group support.
With a focus on technique, individual goals, and a positive atmosphere, these workouts helped me to stay motivated and see real progress!

I had back to back multiple knee surgeries and had been struggling to get strength back in the knee. Exercises in the gym were not working for me. Kevin and Lauren made a tailored plan and the progress that I have made over last 4-5 months has been unreal. Still a lot of work for me to do, but Kevin and Lauren have helped me to get pretty much back to normal life. Cant recommend Motiv8 enough.

I started my journey with Kevin and Lauren a couple of months ago, as I have back issues, and I'm not a natural gym goer!! At 51 yrs old, I never enjoyed going to mainstream gym. Since joining Motiv8 fitness, i do the strength and conditioning class, I enjoy going, as the classes are fun and friendly, while achieving goals. As the classes are small and Kevin is so knowledgeable with injuries, i no longer feel scared of weights, as the coaches are there to ensure I'm using the correct technique so as not to injure myself. It's great to see other people of all ages in class, and we motivate one another. At motive8 fitness, there are a number of packages available that suit needs and budget to help achieve goals. I highly recommend Motiv8 Fitness for all fitness requirements.

My son has been attending the Motiv8 youth fitness sessions for the last year and thoroughly enjoys them - his strength and fitness has improved so much in the last year and is a great complement to his main sport.
Because I was so impressed with Dylan’s improvement , I decided to try myself and have been attending weekly PT, semi PT and strength & conditioning class with Kevin &Lauren. I am thoroughly enjoying the classes - something new each week and a great environment to train in . There are a variety of times & classes so something to suit everyone .

I have really enjoyed my time at Motiv8 Fitness. I am there now a year. I attend strength and conditioning classes three times a week and I really enjoy. The classes are a small group. The trainers are very helpful and make you feel very welcome.

I’ve been a member here for almost a year and would highly recommend Motiv8 if you are considering training in a supportive environment. I’ve been to commercial gyms before who offer classes but it’s my view that smaller group classes give better outcomes and makes it so much easier to build an exercise routine into your week. Kevin and John take away the hassle of trying to work out sets, reps, variation etc. and design a plan each week. If you’ve ever had a hard time sticking to weight training or aren’t confident with it this is honestly the type of gym that will help you most. It’s become something that I look forward to and even on the days where it’s hard to turn up, I always feel better within a few minutes of arriving.

Great classes! The environment is always welcoming and positive. Small class sizes are fantastic as you always get plenty of support, encouragement and instruction. The structure of the classes is well thought out so you expand on your knowledge of the exercises performed yet they never become repetitive or boring.
Motiv8 fitness Waterford is the ideal for all levels as it's tailored very individually around each person. Kevin & his team have a passion for fitness done properly and I'm proud to be a member!

My first experience with Motiv8 Fitness and have not been disappointed! I have been training here about 3-4 times a week for little over a month now. The fun workouts, awesome music and friendly environment make it a great place to workout. Kevin will provide hands on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts, and always encourages you to achieve more. The workouts for the classes changes every session, so it never gets boring or repetitive. Highly recommended!😁

Would definitely recommend motiv8 fitness. The facilities are excellent, Kevin's programmes are challenging and fun, but they are also do-able and you will see improvements. The environment and coaching style promotes positive change in people looking to commit time to their fitness.
