“During my time working with Antóin, his professionalism and attention to detail was something that stood out to me. He was willing to give his time outside of the sporting sphere to talk about how I could improve my game and showed a real interest in not only our sporting progression but also how we were off the pitch. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Antóin and I wish you all the best with the new venture.”

“Antóin is an excellent trainer and educator and I hold him in the highest regard. His structured and informative style of training and teaching is the best education I have had the opportunity to be a part of. Antóin has a way of ensuring the education is delivered in such a way that his students are left motivated and inspired.

I respect Antóin as an educator, a trainer and he has become a mentor. His attentiveness and genuine interest in our education was unparalleled, which makes him not only a great teacher, but a great person.

Anyone who has the opportunity to work with and learn from Antóin will not only benefit from his teachings, but will also benefit through the instruction of many others who he has personally trained to be instructors. I consider Antóin to be a leading example in the fitness industry.

Good luck Antóin and God bless.”

“I worked with Antóin during his time with Newcastle West Senior Footballers. On both an individual and team basis, Antóin brought us to the next level.

His knowledge within his field second to none. He was very approachable and had a brilliant understanding of ensuring peak performance for big championship games.

His attention to detail and strong work ethic were standout for all to see. Antóin was a excellent coach and was a key contributor to a successful period for NCW in 2015/16.”

—Mike O'Leary, Newcastle West Senior Football, Limerick

“Antóin came to NCW senior football team in 2015, we were a decent team but with a lot of under lying issues, mostly discipline, from the very start, he laid foundations that would change ever player individually and collectively, we were team with a purpose and a goal, he provided the road map and guidance, and I personally with remember that, we won our first county title in 23 years that year, I had lost 4 previously.”

—Stephen Kelly, Newcastle West Senior Football, Limerick

“Antóin McFadden is the most dedicated coach to a team I have ever been involved with.

Antóin is very driven and passionate but most of all professional in his approach to group training, one to one coaching, game tactics/ strategy and will NEVER give less than 100% to any person/ team he is involved with. No stone was left unturned in relation to getting our team into peak condition both physically & mentally.

His attitude and manner was mirrored throughout our panel and culminated in us improving no end both on and off the field.

I could not recommend Antóin enough nor speak more highly of him - if you have the chance to work with him I suggest you take it, it will be an experience you will never forget!”

—Mike O'Keeffe, Newcastle West Senior Football, Limerick

“Antóin is a top class coach and always gives 100% commitment. Antóin got the best out of players in our club and made us a very successful team under his guidance winning county titles league titles .

He took our club to a different level of fitness.”

—Tim Nix, Newcastle West Senior Football, Limerick

“Antóin came in as head football coach for our senior team in 2015 and to say he changed us as a team is a massive understatement . For years we had been knocking on the door of winning a first championship for this particular group of players , having been beaten in finals or the knock out stages .

Antóin came in and immediately put his stamp on us, over the course of 6 months we became the hardest working and most disciplined team in the county and his attention to even the smallest detail was obvious for all to see .

He was relentless in his quest to make us better as a team and as individuals and if you missed a team session for whatever reason you had to make it up by meeting him at another time or location and getting the work done as in individual or in smaller groups .

It’s testament to him that after only 9 months coaching us he was snapped up by limerick senior footballers as a coach.

Antóin instilled a belief and attitude in us as a team and as a whole club that we still carry with us 4 years later .

I could not recommend him highly enough.”

—Mike McMahon, Newcastle West Senior Football, Limerick

“I trained with Anton at F45 for the better part of around 8 months. Anton showed up to every session with energy, positivity and an attitude to drive me to do my best. My sessions were always at 5:30am but you wouldn’t know this from the energy that Anton brought to our sessions.

Antóin consistently went out of his way to not only motivate me, but to also ensure I was consistently using correct form. Anton frequently went out of his way to work with me on my form outside of a session, and would give me new tips and techniques to better my performance.

Antóin is truly passionate about athletic performance and training with him always made me want to succeed.”

Antóin is a fantastic Trainer, always encouraging, very positive, informative and incredibly knowledgeable in every aspect of fitness. He was always able to answer any questions, however complex and provide honest, concise and detailed replies to enable me to achieve my fitness goals.

I was always greeted with a smile, a positive energy and it was always fun to train and be motivated by Antóin. It is obvious that he has an absolute passion for fitness, his enthusiasm to really help you get fit is a huge reason that many return to train with him!

Wishing him all the very best in his future endeavours, he is sorely missed!”

—Victoria Saristavros, F45 Brighton

“Antóin was a trainer for both cardiovascular and resistance/strength classes I attended at F45 for over 18 months. While his level of knowledge and understanding of sports physiology was impressive, his manner in dealing with people of varying levels of fitness, injury and age was exemplary.

Antóin remained diligent for the entirety of all classes. He corrected and coached his clients to work to their potential and he would always take the extra time at the end of a class to provide advice and guidance with training issues. I often experienced this firsthand as I managed a shoulder injury and credit his diligence with alternative exercises and technique correction for the reason I continue to train today.

Antóin is greatly missed at F45 Brighton and he would be an asset to whatever fitness endeavour he undertakes.”

—Susan Rankin, F45 Brighton

It was very helpful for me to work with you. You’re doing great Job.

He truly cares for clients and assisting in goals, preventing injury and staying motivated.”

Besides being cheerful and polite - Antóin helped me improve my form ensuring that I trained to my maximum efforts.

After comparing body scans, it is evident that my fitness, core strength and muscle mass all improved significantly whilst being trained by Antóin.

I would take the opportunity to train with Antoin again and would recommend him for any future employer - Antóin, I wish you the best of luck for your future endeavours.”

—Vanessa Ferrante, F45 Brighton

“Had the pleasure of having Antóin as a trainer at F45. He was an exceptional trainer - such a change from previous trainers. He continually monitored us and ensured that correct technique was being deployed and would alter or correct if not. He was motivating and encouraging and made attending all those classes worthwhile - particularly at 5:30am in the morning!!

It was such a shame to lose him and he only left due to the dire CoVid situation that saw the need for him to return home.

Highly recommended and have no hesitation in recommending him for any future position he applies for. Lovely and personable - a real asset to any training facility!!”
