Jamie Goonery is a relentlessly driven and ambitious individual. Hitting a set back in his footballing career he channeled his focus elsewhere deciding that personal training may be a possible path that suited him. He opened the doors of his first business at the age of 19. Now four years later Jamie's gym 'Insanity Fitness Pollyhops' is one of the most successful & renowned gyms in Ireland. Its unique set up includes a H.I.I.T studio, strength & conditioning room, heated cardio chamber & is currently adding a high performance facility to the mix. The gym has gained notoriety due to its incredible transformations that Jamie credits to the interpersonal relationship between trainers & members, providing them with the tools needed to reach their health goals. Jamie is also an active ambassador on the front lines for both Fulfil & Irish FitFam clothing endorsing & representing their brands. In this conversation we discuss his decisions in the face of initial failures that helped develop character, his obsession with progress & work ethic, his ability to overcome discomfort, growing a brand & the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people.
Enjoy!
