Testimonials

I joined Keane for Fitness running 2 years ago and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I met a great group of ladies who I run regularly with. Gráinne caters for all abilities so there is always someone to run with. We’ve taken part in several events together, had great craic and made lifelong friendships along the way. Anyone looking to get fit, make new friends and improve their wellbeing should definitely give it a try.

I joined KFF running group just under a year ago. I was an occasional runner, I would train for a charity 5km or 10km but then just stop. After my 2nd son, I wanted something to keep me fit and make exercise a regular part of my routine. I completed 2 half marathons this year and now can say I enjoy running! Gráinne is great to keep you motivated and keep you coming back every week! Looking forward to another year of running and new set of goals!"

I tried running by myself a few times but I never managed to get very far. I started with Gráinne as a beginner in February and ran the women’s mini marathon in June.   She was able to help me build up my pace and distance in a very manageable way rather than pushing myself too far and throwing in the towel when I was running alone. The Monday night runs are great, it’s such a relaxed friendly group and very supportive. Gráinne is so knowledgeable, knows exactly what you’re able for and how to help you progress. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

I recently did the back to running program with Gráinne and it was brilliant. Having the other runners around me made it so much easier to keep going and having the options of long or short courses meant that I never felt under pressure. Gráinne is a fantastic motivator and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

I thought I would never be able to run but through Grainne's couch to 5k programme I now can run 5k.  The programme and support from Grainne is amazing!  Highly recommend it!!"

Best thing I ever did was join Grainne's running group. Went from being a walker to a runner in a matter of weeks and met new running buddies in the process. Grainne is so encouraging and helps everyone find their comfortable level. Did the 5km 1916 commemorative run a few weeks back in 32 mins - loved it!

This morning I did my first Parkrun. Over the last 7 weeks I've been doing a 'Couch to 5K' with Keane For Fitness. Week 1 back on Monday April 27th was to jog for 1 min. Fast forward to today, week 7, & I've just done a 5k run in Marlay Park in 34 mins. I owe a huge thank you to Grainne @ Keane For Fitness. She was fantastic - motivational, enthusiastic, always positive & a wealth of knowledge. I have 2 girls in primary school so June 30th sees the end of morning exercise for me. I started this so I could keep fit over the Summer & now in the evenings or over the weekend I can go out for a run. I am so glad I did this.

Currently on a couch to 5K program with Keane for Fitness, 5 weeks in and I'm astounded at the results, I have an abundance of energy and my mood has uplifted immensely. Grainne approach is practical, fitting around any busy schedule, she has mastered fitness motivation and her love for keeping fit is infectious- highly recommend her program!

I am currently training for my second half marathon. I would have never even done my first 10l if it wasn’t for Grainne’s running group…her support, her expertise and her commitment to her groups is wonderful. All the runners are friendly, encouraging and supportive. I have found my tribe.

I joined Gráinne’s couch to 5k running group in 2017, not believing I would ever enjoy running, but really wanting to get fit after having three children. Little did I know that two years on I would not only be fit and running several times a week, but really enjoying it too!!! Gráinne gives us all so much encouragement and support, I would urge anyone looking to start running, or just to meet a great group of people, to join Gráinne’s group.
