"Darragh has provided great support throughout my time here and has always went above and beyond to help me out."

Rhys

Since joining the DG Academy I have learned a lot about nutrition and putting structure into my life. I always overcomplicated things prior, and therefore I wasn’t very consistent with my training and nutrition in particular, and didn’t see the results I wanted.

I have quite a busy lifestyle so I always used to leave training and nutrition to last and never really prioritised it. Since joining I have learned to appreciate being more organised with meal prep etc and consistent with training.

I have gained almost 6kg and have a lot more confidence overall, particular in certain clothing that I now fill out a lot more. I enjoy training and the routine I have, and look forward to pushing myself in each session. I will admit I am still a bit behind with the dieting and being 100% consistent, but I have definitely improved and in many other aspects of my life since becoming a member.

Darragh has provided great support throughout my time here and has always went above and beyond to help me out. He has excellent knowledge and understanding and I would recommend anyone to join the academy and see the improvement in your life.

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.
