Gar is the owner of CityGym Limerick. He founded the gym back in 2014 and since then he has been growing it in to the monster that it has become today.

Gar now oversees the running of the facility with his amazing team. His main day to day aims are to bring the members of CityGym the best gym experience they can get. Everybody knows CityGym is unique, it stands out massively within the Irish gym scene and it’s through years of crafting this mad image that we have managed to draw the best members to our gym.

Gar opened up CityGym after multiple surgeries over a five year period on his lungs. Being sick for so long left him weak, out of shape and sitting at 47kg on the day he left hospital in Dublin. He knew the way forward was proper strength training. Naturally powerlifting became a perfect fit and Gar competes within the IrishPF federation.

If Gar isn’t on the floor training and chatting with members he is working with The European Powerlifting Conference or selling amazing kit with Titan Ireland. Gar also consults for Sigma Nutrition. An industry leader in nutrition education and coaching. Outside of this he spends his time with his beautiful wife Natalia and his two boys, Maciek and Matthew.
