In this milestone episode where we have all the team gathered around the mic, we each explain how we work and some aspects of our business that we enjoy and focus on.

Want to know how exactly what we do in Cobh and how it came to be? You're not the only one! For a number of years now we have been quietly building a gym that caters for the community, a club and its players and also young coaches! Listen to hear from our Cobh contingent on how they started in the fitness industry and how we have all come to be!

Have you ever Ghosted? Just let the email, message or call be unanswered. Have you ever considered what this means about your self-esteem and your confidence? If you have Ghosted then you need to develop the skill of responding. Responding takes discipline and character. Never voluntarily let your character slid. Nobody likes these shapeshifting characters! Respond.

Here are some comparisons drawn up between estate agents and personal trainers. In recent months I have been on the client end of transactions and realise service quality isn't equal across all businesses. If you have any experiences either the property market or the fitness industry then please reach out!

Have you ever work up to your alarm ready to get to the gym and have a productive day only to roll over in the bed and cancel your session? If this sounds like something you have done then maybe you need to stop consulting your brain and 'just do things' and think later. In this episode we share how we can challenge the conformity of the body will go where the mind takes it. I think in the...

Ok ok ok, maybe not so secret and not so sexy but quite thorough and very hard to not make progress with this method. I have developed this coaching method for 12 years now and I road tested this method for the last 8. I am still using it. I have used it with busy parents, CEO's who fly private jets, professional athletes and your couch to 5km client. Why? Because it's simple to remember a...

Dry January normally is an abstinence from alcohol. We have taken it one step further and done a dry social media January. We have not posted or added to the intense fitness marketing in January. This might seem ludicrous as a fitness business. But we must constantly challenge our values in order to understand them. It is only then can provide the services that we aim to.

Here are some thoughts from Kate and I's recent holiday. Health and fitness rarely leave my mind and holidays are no exception. I value a break just as much as the next person. Here might be an excuse to book your next break! 😜 Adam

In this podcast we share what our member day is and why we have it in the first place. Our business aims and values are strongly associated with the member day and we put them there for all to see.

Have you been doing the same program over and over? Unsure of why you might need to change your training? The Plateau is a biological phenomenon that occurs when stimulus is chronic, unchallenging and non-progressive. Adam

Not sure what way to think about food for before and after training? In this episode Adam talks you through some simple nutrition points that you can be applied to your diet that may assist your training!

Walking. So simple yet so complicated it seems. Keep it simple folks. Sometimes a binary viewpoint of health practices is good adherence purposes. Walking IS GOOD!!! Stroll, Mosy, Run, Saunter, Sashay, whatever you feel like the most!

I have done over 4000 training sessions. I have trained in multiple sports. I have coached 1000's of people. And I have failed on each occasion!!! Here are some (hopefully) helpful things for you :) - Adam

In this episode Adam discusses what Nebula's Mission is and how we are actively carrying it out with some case study examples. Hopefully it resonates and leaves you knowing a little bit more about us!

Here are some keys learnings that Adam took from a recent business leaders retreat that can apply to your training and lifestyle.

Zoom out of your life. Deal in centuries versus days. The goal of the game of exercise is to stay in the game. Don't get knocked out. Like you probably were in the school yard when playing tag... Be tough, be tricky, be creative, be sneaky in order to stay in the game.

Everyone deprives themselves a quality nights sleep every so often. You have a deadline, or catch a flight, or the car alarm is going off. These are unavoidable. But 95% of the year you should have excellent quality sleep.

What are you not doing that you know deep inside you will cost you in the future? Committing to just the first 5% of anything can be a powerful tool to help you get started and more often than not, doing more than you ever expected.

In this podcast Adam talks you through a key skill that will benefit you in the gym especially with your heavier compound exercises. This is the Valsalva manoeuvre. It is essentially holding a breath and forcing pressure against your body so that you back stays straight and technique is good.

This time of year we conscious people will want to get up, start training, begin a new program, join a gym etc. But what about all of you who have been training a long time already? You also need a little boost to kick start 2024. Here you go!

One thing I have done a lot of as a kid growing up was speech and drama, show and tell and going to plays. It was a family thing. One thing struck me quite early. It's always more comfortable in the audience.  But the audience are always the ones looking on, wishing, hoping and wanting.  Are you in the audience or are you on the stage? In this Podcast we talk about the spotlight effect a...

So you've had an injury... You'll see the doctor and the physio then get sent to us.  And you want to get back playing? No. No you do not. You want to get back and PERFORM! Getting back to pre-injury standard should be the baseline aim for everyone after an injury.  You want to get fitter, stronger and better after an injury so that it doesn't happen again! Here are some things that yo...

Colm is one of the best physiotherapists I have worked with.  His attention to his patients is only matched by his introspection of his own practices and beliefs.  Working with Colm in Cork GAA and through the MyPhysio Clinic has been a pleasure and a great learning experience.

We have been working with Dan for about a month now and have to say that we're impressed with his knowledge, his morals and his humble approach to nutrition.  In this dense 100 minute episode we cut through a lot of the junk that exists in the industry today. - Calories & Counting - Approaches to nutrition - Nutritionist vs Dietician - Nutrition for the Busy Person - Gut Health & more...
