    Portion control and meal plan guide

    Guest Contributor: Noel Flynn from ABC GYM If you have not seen it yet, I can go off on complete tangents, like it is funny, I can lose track of my thoughts and what I am talking about when I am having a conversation with people and if you know me and are reading this, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you are in the Look Good, Feel Better Facebook Group you will have gradually started to realise that too, as I can totally go off point sometimes, and it got me thinking,yes it hurt a little, there are…

    Looking for support with your diet and exercise ?

    October 25, 2016 - By 

    Guest Contributor: Noel Flynn from ABC GYM Am I being selfish? One of the main reasons for setting up the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ group is, I probably need it myself. I am getting married in April, so as I am sure many of you can understand, I want to look good for the wedding. Here is the thing, in my experience looking good is always a by-product of feeling better. Again from experience this time of year is extremely busy for me and like a lot of us when I get busy I can be likely to eat on the go without any preparation…

    Sometimes we need to be told things we don’t want to hear

    October 16, 2016 - By 

    Guest Contributor: Noel Flynn from ABC GYM Are you the person who wants the results but are not prepared to do the work? Perhaps you have a friend or family member who talks about getting in shape but spends all their time living the good life. I mentioned last week the ‘put it off’ brigade. I should know, I am one of them, not necessarily in terms of exercise or nutrition but as a man I will put off cleaning, in terms of business I will put off doing the taxes etc. So while it is ok to appear all high and mighty when it…

    The Secret to achieving your health and fitness goals

    September 18, 2016 - By 

    Guest Contributor: Noel Flynn from ABC GYM As I write this post it is Thursday afternoon and I am currently sitting on a flight from Dublin to London. Earlier today, I got quite emotional over a message that I received from one of my clients and I felt compelled to share this message with you. I really think that the story behind the message  could really help many men or women that read it. Recently I completed a course that was delivered by a world-famous strength and condition coach called Mike Boyle. While taking part in this course he said something…

    Operation Transformation Versus Joe Wicks: The Body Coach – Who will win?

    September 12, 2016 - By 

    Guest Contributor: Noel Flynn from ABC GYM For today’s post I wanted to write about something that has played on my mind the last couple of years and with the recent launch of Celebrity Operation Transformation and Joe Wicks – The Bodycoach on TV, I think now is finally time to dissect these types of shows and use my own corner of the internet to have a little rant, if of course a rant is needed! The last week or so saw, not only the launch of the Celebrity Operation Transformation, but also a new show to hit the fitness space, Joe Wicks –…

    Not another blog post, by a fitness writer trying to motivate the masses

    August 28, 2016 - By 

    Guest Contributor: Noel Flynn from ABC GYM As I sit down to write this blog post it is now 1.39pm on Friday afternoon and I have sat over the laptop for the last hour.I met Sinead the other day and we had so many discussions around so many different topics. I was so excited and so pumped up for this series, that I thought I would never have a problem with picking topics to write about. Yet even as I sit down and write my opening paragraph,  I am still unsure what the topic of this blog post will be. And here is the…

    Look Good, Feel Better: The Bigger Picture to Health, Fitness and Nutrition

    August 21, 2016 - By 

    Guest Contributor: Noel Flynn from ABC GYM This is going to be a hard read for some. Why? Because it might not give the answers you want to hear or even care about. Your health, your fitness are one thing but your relationship with food is almost a mirror of how you are coping in your personal life. But first the bigger picture. I want it to be clear, I am a Strength and Conditioning coach where my primary training is based around athletic performance, injury and pain reduction while building strength and fitness. I am not a dietician, I am not even going…
