about us
Feel Fit, Confident and Like Yourself Again
You want to lose weight, feel fitter, and get back to feeling like your younger, more confident self. But between work, family and everything else on your plate, it can feel like there is never enough time or headspace left for you.
Big commercial gyms can feel intimidating
and it is hard to know if what you are doing is actually the right thing to get you to your goal. That uncertainty, mixed with a nutrition routine that swings between all in and giving up completely, leaves you feeling stuck. You should not have to choose between a gym that ignores you and a plan you cannot stick to just to get fit.

We know exactly how that feels, because we built The Colony to fix it.
We are a team of personal trainers with over 40 years of combined experience between us, and we have coached thousands of clients of every shape, size and starting point, including many managing injuries and health conditions, toward real, lasting results.
Values and Mission
Everything we do is built on three things: honesty, being straight with you about what it will take and how you are doing, good or bad, fun, because a gym should be somewhere you actually want to walk into, and high quality, so you always feel properly supported.
Why This Business Exists
We were personal trainers ourselves long before we opened The Colony, and we got tired of watching gyms treat their members like a number. So we built something different, a gym where you are known by name, supported through the hard weeks, and given a genuine community, not just a membership.
Credibility and Results
Between us, we have over 40 years of combined personal training experience and have coached thousands of clients. Members following our 6 Week Transformation Challenge typically lose around half a stone in six weeks, and our longer-term clients have gone on to build real strength and confidence, from members deadlifting over 100kg to others losing more than 50kg and taking up new challenges like skiing and running.

The Transformation
Feeling anxious about walking into a gym becomes training somewhere you are known by name. An on-off relationship with food becomes a simple, done-for-you nutrition plan you can actually stick to. Wondering if this attempt will work becomes a coach checking in with you every single week to make sure it does. Aches, low energy and low confidence become real strength, better energy and a renewed sense of control over your health.

The Team
Not discussed in this session in enough detail for individual bios. The Colony is run hands-on by four owner-directors, including Conor McGirr, all personal trainers, supported by a wider team of coaches who work directly with clients day to day. Individual bios can be added once further detail on the rest of the team is available.

You do not have to figure this out alone.
