Who I Train

This is who I train.

I'm not here to coach professional athletes or competitive lifters. I'm here for "normal" people who want to feel better in their own skin.

01

The busy parent

The parent who used to be fit before kids, and wants to be able to run around with them instead of watching from the sidelines.

02

The desk worker

The desk worker who's spent a decade behind a screen and is ready, finally, to do something about it.

03

The fresh starter

The person who's never really been into fitness but has wanted to make the change for a long time and just needs the right person to start with.

04

The time-poor exec

The senior leader with a packed diary whose health has slid down the list, and who wants a coach that fits around their schedule instead of the other way round.

If any of those sound like you, the best place to start is a free consultation. We'll figure out the right plan together.

Start with a free 60-minute session and consultation.

The Approach

2,500+ hours. 100+ clients. One simple goal.

I started training at 13 to deal with my own weight. I was always the biggest kid in class, and I got bullied for it. The gym became the place where that changed. Not overnight, but session by session.

I've built a career out of helping other people do the same. Fully qualified, 2,500+ hours of coaching behind me, 100+ clients. I moved from Australia to Cork to put down roots, and I now coach out of two gyms: Phenom Gym in Ballintemple and Resolution Fitness in Douglas.

What clients say.

From day one I felt comfortable working with Charlie to reach my fitness goals, he helped me go from someone terrified of the gym to someone who loves going. I highly recommend his online training, great programs listens to what you want from it and is there every step of the way.

Online client, Australia, 2022

The online training with Charlie has been nothing but the absolute best!! He is always checking in pretty much everyday making sure that I am hitting my training and nutrition goals and giving me a few tips and tricks along the way. The training program is tailored to your specific needs and if there is something you don't like Charlie will change it to best suit you. Would highly recommend this program if you were wanting to kick goals like I definitely have

Online client, Australia, 2022

The pt program has been very motivating. It has become a great start to the day and helped me get into a routine. My goal was and is to build my strength and we have definitely been able to work towards that. I am feeling stronger and have found this to be very rewarding. Thank you for all your help Charlie.

Client, Australia, 2022

Hey Charlie! All I can say is thankyou so so very much for all the hard work you put into our sessions! They have been the literal best, not only helping me to achieve becoming more toned and having strength but my confidence is growing so much after every session. I was very nervous to return to pt after a small setback but with you beside me each step of the way & being the biggest motivator I'm super happy to have returned! Thankyou again, I'm so grateful! 💪

Initially I was nervous to start doing PT but as soon as I did my first session with Charlie I knew I had nothing to worry about, his experience and knowledge put me at ease straight away! Not only do I feel better within myself both physically and mentally, I actually enjoy exercising. Charlie makes the sessions so enjoyable while always encouraging me to push myself. I can't wait to see how far we can go! Would 100% recommend Charlie for all your PT needs!

In-person client, Australia, 2020

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for how much you've helped me since we've been doing PT. You've helped me improve with my form in certain exercises and helped me push through sets I would have given up on if I were on my own, you've also pushed me to try new exercises I was too scared to try 😂 love how chill and easy to get along with you are. Thank you again!

In-person client, Australia, 2020

I started with Charlie about 2 months ago and I've been seeing amazing results! Especially in my strength! The sessions are great and push me pretty hard! I can now do multiple push-ups when at the start I could barley do 5 in a row! Charlie is a great guy to work with and I am slowly beginning to find working out enjoyable!! Definitely recommend if you are looking into a few sessions with a PT Charlie is the guy to go to!!

In-person client, Australia, 2020

PT is something I never thought was for me, but after getting over the initial thought and giving it a crack, I have never looked back. I even enjoy getting up early in the mornings now! 😂 Would 100% recommend Charlie, he has helped my confidence grow and feel good about exercising!

In-person client, Australia, 2020

I look forward to my PT sessions with Charlie each week. He is very enthusiastic, encouraging and motivating. He provides different challenges each session and pushes me to my best potential. He is helping me achieve my goals for a fitter and healthier lifestyle. Highly recommend CJPT 👏

In-person client, Australia, 2020

I really just want to say a massive thankyou for last nights session! You pushed me and that's exactly what I wanted & needed! I can't wait to come back again! Plus I can't believe how just 1 session has given the motivation to start working out again!

In-person client, Australia, 2020

CJPT is the man! I don't think I've ever stuck to anything as well as this, yet we are 5 weeks in, every morning at 6am I've been up and moving. Getting me to do that is a skill all on its own! Charlie has been great to deal with, very easy to talk to, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Can't wait to see what the next 5 weeks bring!

In-person client, Australia, 2020

In our short time together I've already learnt so much! I'm already starting to see physical changes and you've helped me make positive changes in my life! You obviously know what you're doing and aren't afraid to push me to get the best out of me! Thanks for it all so far, I can't wait to see how far we can go!

In-person client, Australia, 2020

Thanks again Charlie for being my PT for the last month and a bit. You've been encouraging, supportive and most importantly you motivated me on days I was tired and being lazy. My fitness and muscle tone has increased significantly since beginning my fitness journey with you and I cannot thank you enough!! 💪

In-person client, Australia, 2020

Charlie and his program worked so well in motivating me to get back on my feet and eat better post lockdown. He was really good at giving advice and helping me when I needed it! 10/10 would recommend
