I joined SDF in 2019 not only did it improve my health fitness and body shape but it changed my mind set and built my confidence up I am a better person because of Sharon Doherty (SDF) and dara too the motivation and the never ending support that I get from them and the other clients makes me look forward to the gym I wouldn’t go anywhere else it was the best decision I have ever made for myself 💚

Love this gym. Sharon is such a motivator and a caring person. The classes are amazing and they suit all levels. Definitely the best gym around and I've been training for many years very hard to find a better place. There is a great range of classes strength, cardio kickboxing. Great bunch of people training here too so welcoming and friendly. More...

I rang Sharon back in March as I wanted to be part of a class but not a normal gym. I met with her and it was exactly what I wanted. Sharon was full of encouragement as this was all new to me .... she directed me to her RT24 classes to begin . I joined for the month in March and still going �. She pushed me when I was struggling and I ventured onto different type classes. I had my daughter's wedding as a goal too and after 2 lazy weeks I'm back to continue with SDF �. Sharon knows everyone's strengths and weaknesses and her encouragement is unbelievable. How she keeps going beats me. She always has the laughs and the hugs ready to keep her clients on track. I cannot see myself quitting any time soon and each and everyome is there on the same journey and willing to be supportive . Thank you Sharon and your crew Dara and Gaza �� More...

I've been training with Sharon for the best part of 2 1/2 years now! Ever since I won a months class membership back in January 2016 and I haven't looked back since! ! My fitness level has improved immensely, I sleep better and I have lost a good few inches along the way :-) Her classes are so varied (with a detailed timetable) and there is something to suit all tastes. Sharon is a true inspiration and a great motivator. I would recommend her classes without hesitation!! More...

Sharon isn’t just a personal trainer, she is the BEST there is. She is supportive, and caring of her clients and always pushes you to your limit. Sharon welcomes everyone through the door, be they athlete, a new mam or a first-timer, and makes sure to get the best out of them. I cannot recommend her enough. She has a brilliant attitude and really wants the best for her clients. I wouldn’t go anywhere else . More...

I joined SDF in March 2018 starting with the 6 week transformation. I have very poor core muscles due to alot of stomach surgeries, so my excerise was very limited, until I met Sharon. Sharon pushed me everyday out of my comfort zone but within my limitations until I started to get stronger. Every class is tough and no two classes are the same but you feel exhausted and fantastic everytime you finish a workout. After the 6 weeks and many inches lost I continued working out 4/5 times a week with Sharon & Dara encouraging me. I then started the 30 day challenge in June to learn about what foods, are the right foods to eat pre and post training. This was an eye opener, it took me awhile to get the hang of it but it helped me lose another 2Kg and 41/2 inchs in that month. It really is a lifestyle change. The gang you train with are the nicest, friendly bunch of people you can meet. There is no judgement as everyone is on their own journey. If you are thinking about trying something new give Sharon a call, you won't be disappointed. More...

I started with Sharon just under a year ago with no desire for a gym ,had no motivation what so ever , I didnt even want to look at myself in a mirror I simply didn't care about ME! I use to dance for hours and hours a day and was so flexible and active but that all stopped! I was so nervous when I first joined didn't know what to expect , I didn't like being somewhere out of my comfort zone I just didn't want to be disturbed but I can tell you now hand on my heart starting with Sharon was one of the best things I have EVER DONE! Sharon has not only become the best trainer in the world to me she has also become my friend,�
SDF is a place where hard work is done and is recognised by every single person around you including yourself! Everyone in SDF wants nothing but the best for you! I have met so many new friends both men and female and I'm telling you now from a personal experience you will not be disappointed I never thought in a million years I would have an obsession with lifting weights and actually being annoyed at myself over not going to the gym but by god it's honestly a great feeling!i now even look in the mirror while lifting weights!
No matter what your goal is I can't reccomened SDF enough! I could go on all day about what Sharon has done for myself personally and everyone else in SDF But If I was you id find out for myself because you will never look back!
Sharon is an absolute beast of a trainer, an amazing friend and a fabulous leader, Sharon helped me gain the confidence that I never knew I had , and sometimes there's just never enough thank yous in the world!
I would never go anywhere else for training so if I was you I'd sign up today �������

I started with Sharon a couple of months ago and have found her approach very supportive, motivational and encouraging. She is down to earth, practical and has a great understanding of the journey people are on not just from a fitness side but a full holistic approach. I would recommend Sharon without hesitation to anyone and especially to those who are finding it tough to make that first step back or into a fitness regime for the first time. She's tough for sure ! but ensures you know and believe you can do it. More...

Tired of wasting enough money over the years joining gyms and not going , back in October I decided to join up for a month with Sharon- today I'm still going and I have no intention of ever leaving! !! Sharon is one of the nicest people you could meet. She is so professional and she believes in every single person that walks through the door, even if you don't believe in yourself. She will push you hard every time , won't ever let you give up , will guide and support you in your training , she knows your limits, she's always there to offer advice or to simply throw out a giggle at any time!SDF is certainly not your typical class or gym, it's more like family where everyone supports and pushes each other to reach their goals or simply just to finish the class on the day, the atmosphere and the craic is amazing ! Safe to say I'm addicted!!! I'll be forever grateful ! Thanks Pal! X More...

With Sharon, its not just a case of going to a gym and being told at to do an exercise, the atmosphere in every class is incredible. If your looking to loose a bit of weight (or in my case gain some), or a total change of lifestyle, she’ll inspire, guide and be there for you every step of the way. By the end of your first class she’ll know your individual strengths and see all your capabilities, even if you don’t... she’ll push you too lift that bit heavier, go that bit faster, and feel that much stronger… And by the end of it, you’ll find yourself wanting more!!! 9 weeks in and ill not be stopping, you’ll have to lock the doors to stop me coming back!!

I won't lie (!) her classes are tough and Sharon will push you to your limits (and beyond somedays!!) which is what we all need!! Her classes are suitable for all fitness levels and so varied which I love, and each day brings a new challenge. Sharon, Dara and Gazz are all amazing trainers. They are always very attentive and supportive if you're struggling with anything. I find taking one hour to myself a few days a week give me more energy and my fitness levels have definitely improved. I would recommend anyone to come along to SDF classes and give them a go.

I have been a member of SDF for 10 months and to say the least that it was the best decision I made for myself in 2018 . It took me a few days of encouragement to make myself call Sharon but when I got speaking to her, it all seemed the right thing to do . I started with a six week programme and never looked back. Sharon is always on her rounds during classes encouraging, motivating and pushing you to your maximum ability. In my case she understands my upper body weaknesses but is on my back if I’m not working to full potential everywhere else. I have found that with training on a regular basis that I no longer require as much physio to keep me mobile which is unbelievable after several years of needing it to be pain free. I absolutely love the vast variety of classes and training under Sharon, Dara or Gazz is always tough but rewarding and challenging. Over the past few months family and friends have commented on my “weight loss” which is very little by numbers but I have toned up and gained muscle and have had to get clothes altered to fit better , so I am well chuffed with myself and very grateful to Sharon and her SDF team for their encouragement as well as the amazing fellow members who are always so helpful, friendly and always beside you to get you through a session . I would highly recommend this award winning class based gym where everyone has to work hard together under the watchful eye of the Boss Sharon . More...

Very into exercise and pushing myself through ‘my own’ exercise regime, I started to struggle. I’d been in an accident and struggled with pain and strength and then gained weight – I just didn’t feel comfortable in my body anymore. So when I got the go ahead to get back to the gym I did and tried it their way and in fairness lost some weight but was on a really restrictive diet. I then tried it my way and again between pain and food and lack of energy it just wasn’t working for me. I’d seen SDF on facebook 100 times and thought about it 100 times but one day it was time.I made contact with Sharon and being honest I was convinced by the time we ended the phone call but we arranged a ‘chat’ and I signed up. Sharon looked at my calorie ‘allowance’ and short of laughing and asking was I mad – said ‘Trust Me …….Just Trust Me’Calories recalculated and access to the group facebook page it was time…..Tried to find a quiet class to start lol not going to happen, so I turned up one Friday feeling like I stuck out like a sore thumb …… amazing group, I don’t use this word in relation to gyms but it’s a community, the girls, the lads, they all encourage each other. Some classes you team up but not left there trying to figure out with who or what – Sharon teams you up with someone, someone that in my experience helps and encourages, and them themselves having been where you are for one reason or another.I remember after a class Sharon asked how I was feeling ‘I said fantastic, but as much as I was in the gym 3-4 times a week it was a long long time since I felt like that after a workout’So 6 weeks in I’d lost weight, down inches, and felt so much better in my skin, fitter, healthier – just better.Anyone thinking about it … Do It, Try It, You Will Feel Better.

I’d never worked out before, I was super nervous about joining a gym and especially going to a class! I was so self conscious and thought everyone would think ‘what is she doing here? ’ I couldn’t have chosen a better a place to go to or a better trainer. I’d sent Sharon a couple of msgs to book in and told her I’d never trained before, she was so nice and reassuring. I was still nervous going for the first time but she instantly put me at ease. My first class was tough but I enjoyed it so much, and the same goes for each and every class since! Sharon is so encouraging, supportive and motivating, the very things needed to get the best from people. I always leave a class feeling great, both mentally and physically. I haven’t been doing it long but already my friends and family have noticed a difference and that speaks volumes. I never thought I’d say this about a gym but I wish I could go more often! Sharon herself is an inspiration, a truly genuine and hard working lady. She’s certainly someone I think people can relate to, I know I do, and she makes me feel like my goals are totally achievable.
