"I love it just as much now as I did at the start. I've even set my next goal to test my strength and stamina."

Amy

Not only am I "three and a half stone down" but I'm physically and mentally stronger too. I've reached my weight goal of 50lbs, though I never in a million years thought I'd get there.

It's all thanks to the energy and motivation that Darragh brings to his coaching.

I love it just as much now as I did at the start. I've even set my next goal to test my strength and stamina.

About Me

My name is Darragh Gibbs, and I am the proud owner of The DG Academy. My journey is unique—I began my career as a football (soccer) coach, earning my UEFA B coaching license in college alongside my bachelor's degree.

For 13 years, I've coached teams, groups, and individuals. Five years ago, I left a job in investment banking to fully commit to my passion for coaching. My experience spans coaching thousands in football, accumulating over 5,000 hours as a personal trainer, and now guiding professionals in the corporate and business world.

I understand the challenges of neglecting health and feeling unfulfilled. When clients invest in me, I take that responsibility seriously. I’ve dedicated the past 18 months to working with executives and business owners, helping them become healthier, better leaders for their families and workplaces.

My coaching method, KISS - Keep It Simple Sexy, focuses on making you "Fit For Life," not just for a holiday. I aim to teach my clients to be fit, strong, healthy, and confident, ultimately empowering them to manage their health independently. Investing in my coaching will be one of the best decisions of your life.
