Why train here
Why train in Tuam with Image Fitness Training
Tuam is where our west of Ireland PT course is taught. The course we list as "Galway" runs here, so if you live locally you are already at the venue.
You train in a real gym with the person who runs it. Sharon Gannon has nine years in the industry and manages HQ Gym, so the practical days take place in the gym she runs.
Tuam has two of our venues, not one. HQ Gym hosts the PT course and the Galway Mat Pilates course, and Reformer Pilates runs at The Hot Studio @ The Phoenix in the town.
The venue
The Tuam venue
HQ Gym is in the N17 Business Park on the Galway Road in Tuam. It is a working gym, and its manager, Sharon Gannon, tutors on the course.
The Reformer Pilates course has its own Tuam venue: The Hot Studio @ The Phoenix, Townparks (2nd Division), Tuam, H54 W718.

Tuam graduate stories
“Image Fitness delivered everything you'd want in a Personal Training and group instructor course and more. Our instructor Johnny was second to none — fun, professional, knowledgeable and most of all encouraged and believed in us. I am super glad I did this course, it was one of the best investments I could've done in myself and as a bonus I made great friends.”
