- Private studio — no walk-ins, no waiting for kit
- Small numbers, real coaching attention every session
- Long-term progress, not 6-week quick fixes
- Strong coaching + a community that actually shows up
- Education and support outside of sessions
OUR MISSION
Helping people get stronger, healthier and more confident through proper coaching, structure and accountability — without the intimidation of a big gym environment.
MEET KEV MCCARTHY · HEAD COACH
10+ YEARS COACHING.
BUILT ON DOING THE BASICS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.
I'm Kev McCarthy, head coach and owner of ThinkFit. Before opening the studio I spent over a decade in the industry — Head Coach of Personal Training and later Head of Operations at FlyFit, overseeing coaching standards and performance across 20+ gym locations.
Alongside the studio I also work as a personal training tutor, educating and developing new coaches coming into the industry. It keeps the standard high and the methods current.
I've coached complete beginners and seasoned lifters. The approach doesn't change much: structured, progressive training, no gimmicks, no overcomplication. ThinkFit was built to solve a problem I kept seeing — people getting lost in overcrowded gyms with no direction. This is a private coaching environment where clients get real attention, proper structure and long-term support.

FAQ
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
Where is ThinkFit Coaching located?
The studio is at Unit 20E, Rathfarnham Shopping Centre, Butterfield Avenue, Dublin 14, D14 V674. We're a 5-minute drive from Templeogue, Terenure, Knocklyon and Churchtown, with free parking on-site.
What's the difference between semi-private and 1-to-1 personal training?
Semi-private is the sweet spot — you train alongside 2–3 other people, but each of you is on your own programme and being coached in real time by Kev or the team. It's not a class. 1-to-1 is the full coach's attention for the full session — best for very specific goals, complex injuries, or anyone who wants to fast-track results.
I'm a complete beginner — is ThinkFit right for me?
Yes — beginners are most of our roster. Every programme is built from your starting point, and a coach watches every rep. You won't be left to figure it out. The small-group format is specifically designed so the room never gets intimidating.
How much does personal training cost?
Pricing depends on session frequency (most clients do 2–3 sessions per week) and whether you're in semi-private or 1-to-1. We don't list standard prices because the right fit is different for everyone. Book a free 15-minute intro call and we'll quote you something that matches your goals and budget.
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Friday: 06:00–20:30. Saturday: 07:00–12:00. Closed Sundays. Sessions run on the hour and half-hour throughout the day — early-morning and post-work slots fill first.
Do you offer nutrition coaching?
Yes. Practical nutrition guidance and accountability check-ins are bundled into our coaching. We're not interested in handing you a 1500-calorie meal plan you'll abandon in a fortnight — the goal is sustainable habits that survive your normal week.
How do I book my first session?
Tap the WhatsApp button or fill in the enquiry form. We'll get back within 24 hours to set up a free 15-minute intro call so you can ask questions and we can suggest the right format for you. No pressure, no sales pitch.
Is there parking at the studio?
Yes — Rathfarnham Shopping Centre has free parking, with the studio entrance just inside Unit 20E. Buses 15, 15a, 15b, 16, 17 and 75 stop within a short walk.
