🦸♂️ Superhero Success Story: Ryan Hegarty 💥

✨ *“A friend tagged me in a video by Lifitng & Laughing looking for people to join them. It was like it was meant to be!

I was out of work at the time after a surgery and before going back I wanted to improve my energy. I thought this would be the place to help. I’d been going to the gym before but wasn’t seeing the results I wanted - L&L have been more than helpful, focusing each session on my needs and being there outside of sessions too. Just what I needed.”*

💡 “I was used to commercial gyms with rows of machines and lots of waiting around. At Lifting & Laughing, the team showed me how to get a great session done with just dumbbells, a band, or even bodyweight - things I can use anywhere. That’s been huge for keeping me progressing inside and outside of the gym.”

💪 “I’m lifting heavier weights than ever while keeping proper form, and I’ve noticed weight coming off while maintaining my strength - exactly what I was aiming for.”

🧠 “Since joining, I’ve improved my fitness and wellbeing with positivity and guidance from the team. These 50-minute sessions give me structure, push me hard, and still leave me with more time for everything else in life. There’s never a day I don’t want to train here.”

👏 “I’d definitely recommend L&L to anyone serious about their physical and mental health. No matter your level, the team tailor everything to your needs and goals, and they’re always just an email away with advice or support.”

Carrying an ache, pain or ni**le?

You’re not broken.
And you don’t need to be “fit” to start.

A lot of people come to us feeling stiff, sore, or unsure of what they should be doing - so they end up doing nothing at all.

This is where we help.

We’re used to working with:
• ongoing aches and ni**les
• old injuries that never fully went away
• tightness, stiffness, lack of confidence in movement

No pressure.
No pushing through pain.
No expectation that you’re already able.

Why movement helps:
Done properly, strength and controlled cardio:
• improve joint function
• rebuild confidence in your body
• increase blood flow and recovery
• support full-body functionality
• reduce the risk of things flaring up again

We coach movement that helps you move better - not just harder.

Small groups.
Proper coaching.
Progress at your pace.

We take recovery seriously.
We make the process approachable.

⭐Lifting and Laughing success story - Jennifer Browne ⭐

⭐"I came across Lifting & Laughing when I was trying to sort out a new routine and maintain my fitness level while doing some form of strength training. From the website, it looked like it would be good fun but also like the trainers were well qualified so that training would be safe and challenging. The induction session with Phil really confirmed that for me."⭐

⭐ "When I joined the group sessions, I was expecting a few polite nods from other members. I was surprised to find myself quite quickly becoming part of a community that was so fun and inclusive. There were lots of different levels and abilities mixed into the group classes but there's no judgment. Everybody is just working from where they're at and helping each other out. I was very impressed at the trainers' ability to keep tabs on everybody, making sure we have good form, encouraging us to challenge ourselves, etc."⭐

⭐ "I have learned to laugh a lot more and I've met a whole bunch of lovely people since I've started! It's been a great way for me to stay healthy and happy. I've also enjoyed some challenging workouts and done some fun new things (I never thought I'd be trying to do Lego while planking!).⭐

⭐I would absolutely recommend Lifting & Laughing . The trainers are knowledgeable, friendly, and always open to questions and feedback. The sessions change regularly enough to keep them interesting and fresh. Overall, there's just a lovely, fun atmosphere focused on well-being and health."⭐

Cardio training isn’t about destroying yourself.
It’s about what it gives you day to day.

✔️ More energy and better mood
✔️ Improved heart and lung health
✔️ Better recovery between workouts
✔️ Reduced stress and clearer head
✔️ Feeling fitter in real life - not just on a screen

That’s why we’ve added cardio-specific sessions at Lifting and Laughing.

Not as an afterthought.
Not as punishment.
But as a smart, supportive part of your training.

Our approach to cardio is different:
• Structured sessions with a clear purpose
• Options to scale intensity up or down
• Focus on fitness, not exhaustion
• Designed to complement strength training
• Coached, encouraging, and inclusive

You’ll leave feeling worked - not wiped.
Fitter - not fried.
And confident that you’re improving week to week.

Cardio done properly supports everything else you do.

👉 If you’re curious, take a look at www.emf.ie

You’ll get a feel for how our cardio sessions fit into the bigger picture.

Train smarter.
Breathe better.
Have a laugh along the way. 🫀😄

Real coaching makes training feel simpler.

Not louder.
Not more extreme.
Just clearer, calmer, and more effective.

At Lifting and Laughing, our coaches are here to help you:
• Understand what you’re doing and why
• Train in a way that suits you
• Build strength and confidence over time
• Stay consistent without burning out
• Actually enjoy being in the gym

No intimidation.
No ego.
No pressure to be “at a certain level”.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about where to start, or like gyms just weren’t built for you - this is exactly why we exist.

👉 If you’re curious, have a look at www.emf.ie

You’ll get a feel for how we train, how we coach, and whether we’re the right fit for you.

We’re here to support you.
The strength comes after. 💪😄

07/01/2026

Strength training isn’t about lifting heavy just to say you did.
It’s about what being stronger gives you outside the gym.

• A body that feels capable and resilient
• Fewer aches, better posture, more confidence
• Improved body composition and energy
• Progress you can actually track over time

At Lifting and Laughing, we do strength training differently.

Our approach:
✔ Structured programming with a clear purpose
✔ Coaching that meets you at your level
✔ Small groups so you’re guided, not ignored
✔ Progress measured over weeks and months - not random workouts
✔ Serious training, without taking ourselves too seriously

You’ll train with intent.
You’ll get stronger in a way that lasts.
And you’ll enjoy the process - which is why people stick with it.

Strength training done properly changes how you move, feel, and show up in life.

👉 Head to www.emf.ie to help us help you chaneg your life!

Lift with purpose.
Laugh along the way. 💪😄
