Before joining MFK, Irene Timoney describes herself simply as being “totally unfit.”
She wanted to improve her fitness, but her biggest concern was whether she would actually stick with it.
Like many people starting a new exercise routine, Irene worried that the initial motivation might disappear and she’d give up after just a few sessions.
What she found at MFK helped change that.
The Challenge
For Irene, getting started was only part of the challenge.
She needed something she could continue doing consistently.
She was worried that she might attend a handful of sessions and then gradually stop going.
Finding the right combination of enjoyable workouts, professional support and encouragement would be key to making fitness a regular part of her life.
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
Irene’s biggest concern was:
“That I wouldn’t stick to it and I’d give up after a few sessions.”
But when she started at MFK, she found a welcoming and inclusive environment where she could get the support she needed.
The 45-minute sessions offered a combination of weights and cardio, along with tailored fitness support and advice from George and the team.
“George and all the team are so professional, enthusiastic and encouraging.”
The Turning Point
Rather than giving up after a few sessions as she had feared, Irene kept going.
Having encouragement from the team and workouts that combine both strength and cardio helped her make real progress.
She also found somewhere that felt welcoming and inclusive — a place where she could work on her fitness with the right advice and support around her.

Since joining MFK, Irene has:

What Irene Loves About MFK
Irene describes MFK as an incredible amenity to have nearby.
She loves the professionalism, enthusiasm and encouragement from George and the team, as well as the balance of weights and cardio packed into each 45-minute session.
She also appreciates the value, personalised support and welcoming atmosphere.
And there’s another benefit that makes training at MFK particularly special — the surroundings.
“A bonus is you get to enjoy a stunning sea view while getting fit and healthy.”
Not a bad backdrop for a workout!
What This Means for You
If you feel unfit and worry that you’ll start exercising only to give up again after a few sessions, Irene’s experience shows what can happen when you find an environment that makes it easier to keep going.
You don’t need to be fit before you start.
With professional guidance, encouragement and sessions that combine strength and cardio, you can gradually build your fitness and start feeling the difference.
Irene went from describing herself as “totally unfit” to feeling significantly fitter, stronger, healthier and more energetic.
