Down Footballer Ronan Murtagh opened his new gym facilities in WIN Business Park, Newry this month. Amidst a hail of publicity and surrounded by fellow Down team mates, including manager James McCartan and other distinguished VIP guests, Murtagh proudly launched his new business venture ‘RM Fitness’.
‘This is no ordinary gym’ explained Ronan, ‘RM Fitness provides clients with a professional dedicated one-two-one personal training programme including expert advice on weight management and nutritional guidance for fast, long term results guaranteed – all at excellent rates’.
‘We cater for all levels of fitness and ability, from those wishing to loose weight and get fit, to dedicated athletes requiring professional advice and support to progress further in their training regimes’.
This is proving to be a very busy time for the Down full-forward. Not only is Ronan opening a new business but he is also preparing for one of the biggest challenges in his life; as he and his Down teammates train for the All-Ireland GAA Football Final clash against Cork on the 19 September in Croke Park.
‘Train smarter not harder’, is Ronan’s fitness philosophy and one which has stood by him throughout his football career. The All-Ireland Minor Championship medallist stated that he is in best shape of his life and eagerly looks forward to sharing his expert knowledge on how to get the most out of training and fitness regimes with his new clients.
Ideally located in the heart of Newry at WIN Business Park, RM Fitness has a fully equipped gym featuring the City’s first ever cryotheraphy pool (ice-bath). The Down GAA All-Star, stated that this technology is a must for serious athletes. Cold water therapy is proven to help remove lactic acid, reduce swelling, and normalize adrenaline production so the body can recover faster and reduce the pain of inflammation and muscle fatigue.
Ronan stated, ‘with a healthy and growing trend for keeping fit, Newry is buzzing with a growing number of aspiring athletes participating in triathlons, marathons and other athletic and team sports. We anticipate that our state of the art cryotherapy pool will be very popular with sports clubs and fitness enthusiasts from throughout the region. We cater for all sports including running, rugby, GAA, hockey, tennis, etc; and we especially welcome the support of fellow fitness mentor Eamonn Rooney from the Newry Running Club through his endorsement of our services and facilities’.
Along with Ronan, two other professional and fully qualified Personal Trainers will take clients through their paces, catering for each member on dedicated programmes tailored around client’s individual needs and aspirations.
