"I have over come so much, I’ve grown as a person and made some serious lifestyle changes."

Laura

Before I started with Darragh, I was in a slump. I was constantly feeling bad about myself and worrying about the way I looked and felt. I needed a change of lifestyle to improve how I felt about myself.

Darragh designed a plan for me that fit around my schedule. It was super easy to follow, which made it super easy to fit into my daily life and it didn’t interfere with my social life. One of the best parts for me over the passed 12 weeks was the educational side of the plan.

Darragh was always there to answer a question no matter how big or small. He also thought me that the journey to looking good and feeling better does not revolve around the scales, which is something that I really needed to hear in order to improve my mindset.

Over the passed 12 weeks I have over come so much, I’ve grown as a person and made some serious lifestyle changes. I would really recommend this programme to anyone who feels they are stuck in a rut or feels that they need to get back on track.

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.
