What wedo here
We are a private gym and studio that specialises in personal training and nutrition, at the heart of Douglas village in St Patrick’s Woollen Mills. We have been here eight years. We run personal training, small group PT, fitness classes and nutrition, and there is a sports injury and rehab clinic in the same building.
Small group PT
Four people at most, forty minutes, with a coach on the floor for all of it. We run over thirty four sessions a week, so one of them will fit your day.
How small group PT works
Fitness classes
Small groups with a coach on the floor, and every class is tracked on the Polar heart rate system. Booking and the live timetable are on LegitFit.
How the classes work
How it starts
Three steps,no pressure
Nothing is decided until we have spoken. You tell us where you are and what you want, and we agree together whether our coaching is the right fit.
Step one
Fill in the form
It asks your name, a way to reach you, which service you are asking about and what you want to change. It takes about two minutes.
Step two
A free consultation call
We ring you for a fifteen minute call. You tell us what you have tried, what your week looks like and what you want out of it. If we cannot help you, we will point you to someone who can.
Step three
Your plan, then the work
On the call we assess where you are now versus where you want to be, and put together a personal plan of action for you. Programmes run in six week and twelve week blocks.

Kathleen
On personal training
“Absolutely love my Personal Training sessions at Body Mechanics. Having had a baby recently I was so unhappy with my shape and the guys at the Body Mechanics got me on an excellent diet and exercise plan and the difference is insane!
In just 6 weeks it has completely transformed my body. The lads and lassies are great and really know their stuff! Plus it’s good fun! Can’t recommend this place enough!”
Donal
After ten weeks
“Hi all. I joined this gym 10 weeks ago with the intention of losing weight. Thanks to Cian, Phil, David and Dee this is happening. Since I joined I have lost 14.5kg and still reducing. I feel so much better health wise physically and mentally. I can not recommend Body Mechanics enough.
They know how far to push you to gain the most out of each session while having fun at same time. I love the fact that is a small very personal gym.”
Sandra
After the twelve week programme
“I couldn’t recommend Body Mechanics enough! For someone who’s constantly dieting, losing weight, putting it all or even more back on, I was given a food plan and a guidance to what food to choose and that I can finally say it doesn’t feel like a diet at all.
Super professional when it comes to training. Know how to push you to the limits while having fun. Different types of exercise, some I’ve never done before and really enjoy.
Friendly atmosphere the minute you walk in. I’ve just finished the 12 week programme there and got amazing results so I am really excited for the next 12 weeks to come.”

Every class is measured
The Polarheart rate system
Every fitness class is tracked on the Polar heart rate system. You train in a small group with a coach watching, and you see the work you put in.
Nutrition
No crash diets
We do not believe in crash diets or in cutting out food groups. The aim is to teach you how and what to eat for you, and then to take the food plan away, because by then you will not need it.
Injury clinic
Sports injuryand rehab
The injury clinic is in the same building. It starts with a detailed history and an injury and movement screening, then a rehabilitation plan written for you. Appointments are booked online.
Questions
Before you ask
Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. It does not matter how out of shape you are right now. We coach every level of fitness, and the first session is built around what you can do on the day.
How do I book a class?
Classes are booked on LegitFit, which also carries the live timetable. The link is on the fitness classes page.
How long is a programme?
Programmes run in six week and twelve week blocks. Which one suits you is part of the first conversation.
Can I train if I have a small baby?
Yes. We run thirty minute mothers and baby sessions, so you do not have to miss out on a training session.
What is small group PT?
Four people at most, forty minutes, programmed and coached by our team. Some people know it as semi private PT. We run over thirty four sessions a week.
