The Edge: Clontarf

Big thanks to our good friend Dr. Phil Hyland for an outstanding staff talk today on how exercise powerfully boosts mental health!
Phil has been part of The Edge family for years — an avid golfer, passionate advocate, and true believer in the no nonsense interventions. His energy and insights had everyone taking notes and feeling inspired. Some really strong take-home points for our trainers.
We can’t wait to welcome Phil back for another session soon!

Powerlifting testing day! Reel in the excitement — our next test day is here, and it’s open to all levels!
We’ll be coaching and testing the big three: Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. Whether you’re chasing new PRs, cleaning up your technique, or just getting started, this is your day to build strength, sharpen your form, and have fun doing it.
Come lift, learn, and push yourself in a supportive environment. All are welcome!

As the warmer weather arrives and the social calendar fills up, it can be challenging to stay consistent with training.
A clear goal is essential. It provides direction and keeps you focused when motivation naturally fluctuates. Whether your aim is to improve strength, enhance endurance, reduce body fat, or simply feel more energised and capable, having a specific target helps turn intention into steady progress.
Practical tips for summer training in Ireland:
• Schedule sessions and add them to your diary
• Prioritise hydration — water and electrolytes are particularly important during warmer days.
• Stay flexible with your routine during holidays or busy periods — even shorter, focused sessions make a difference.
• Focus on quality rather than duration. A consistent 45-minute workout is far more valuable than missing sessions altogether.
• Track your progress — whether through a training log, measurements, or feedback from your coach.
The habits you build now will set you up strongly for the months ahead. Summer training is an investment in both your short-term wellbeing and long-term fitness.
