"I am smiling more, I am feeling good in myself and I have so much more energy."

Marie

I was lost for nearly a year after having my baby. I was joining gyms and not going. My confidence was gone. I tried numerous diets and I couldn’t stick to them even though I was a year away from my wedding. I was putting so much pressure on myself.

Then The DG Academy jumped out to me after reading a family members testimony and seeing the progress they have made through their journey with Darragh. My confidence was gone, I was nervous speaking to Darragh but I felt completely at ease.

From there he set me up on the programme and as each week went on I could feel my “old self” coming back. I am smiling more, I am feeling good in myself and I have so much more energy. I am making better decisions when it comes to food.

Training is now one of the main parts of my routine. The courses he has as part of the programme are a great help too.

Darragh always checks in and the chats are always appreciated whether it’s a good week or bad, I find talking always helps. I have set mini goals throughout the journey and have reached them all so far with my next one not too far off.

Thanks Darragh for all of your help so far and I can’t wait to reach my end goal.

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.
