Fitness, exercise & weight loss

If you’re looking to improve your sperm health and increase your chances of starting a family, regular exercise can be a game-changer. Research has shown that exercise can have a significant impact on male fertility by improving sperm health.

But it’s not just about hitting the gym and doing a few sets of weights. Ciaran can work with you to develop a customised exercise plan that takes into account your current fitness level, health status, and goals. With his help, you can incorporate physical activity into your daily routine in a way that’s safe and effective for your body.

Beyond exercise, Ciaran can provide valuable advice on nutrition and hydration, both of which play a critical role in improving sperm health.

Ciaran’s expertise also extends to identifying nutrient-rich foods and supplements that support male fertility, as well as guiding you in managing your weight. Obesity has been linked to decreased sperm quality, so Ciaran can help you develop a plan that supports a healthy weight and optimal reproductive health.

With Ciaran’s guidance, you’ll have access to a comprehensive approach to health and wellness that supports your reproductive health and helps you achieve your fitness goals. Book a session with Ciaran today to take the first step towards a healthier, happier you.

Fitness Programmes

What to expect

Ciaran’s 4-phase training programme is tailored specifically for men looking to improve their fertility and sperm health.

Phase 1: In Phase 1, you’ll have a video consultation with Ciaran where he’ll discuss your goals and objectives, as well as collect key information about your general health, nutritional habits, and lifestyle. From there, He will create a customised training programme that meets your physical and mental needs.

Phase 2: During the second phase, you’ll complete a series of fitness and body stat assessments, which you’ll have access to via an online training app. This allows us to track your progress accurately and make changes to your programme as needed.

Phase 3: Phase three involves implementing your individualised training programme.  Ciaran provides weekly updates on your programme as well as offers nutritional guidance. You can also reach him via the app if you have any questions, and he’ll be there to track your progress and provide motivation.

Phase 4: Finally, in the fourth phase, we’ll have a “Next Steps” consultation once you’ve met your goals or completed your training programme. We’ll discuss and decide on the next step of your programme based on your needs and goals.
