Why train here
Why train in Limerick with Image Fitness Training
Limerick is home to Conor Whyte, one of the co-founders of Image Fitness Training, and to two of our tutors.
May Turner is a senior tutor and strength and conditioning coach, and a former nurse, with a particular interest in women’s health and lifting for longevity. Lisa McCaffrey is a Limerick-based tutor.
The 16-week course meets on Saturdays, 10am to 4:30pm, so you can qualify without giving up a weekday job. The 8-week full-time course (Thursdays and Fridays) has also run in Limerick, most recently in summer 2026.
