What our runners have to say……

Running Classes: ‘Forget The Gym’ has totally changed my opinion and entire attitude towards exercise. Mary is extremely motivational and encouraging in her approach, so you never feel that you are out of your depth or holding up the class. I would highly recommend ForgetTheGym to everyone, but especially to those, who like me want to get fit but aren’t sure how to go about it. Mairead

Marathon Coaching: Can’t recommend forget the gym highly enough - I’ve achieved so much through Mary’s guidance and amazing coaching attitude - not only this I have also met friends for life.Louise

Virtual Coaching: What makes the virtual programme special is the warm, encouraging community that makes it unique to any other online programme. The coaches and people in the programme have been the motivating factor that have kept me running through lockdown this year. Nicola

ChiRunning Workshop: Mary’s Chi Running workshop has changed my running life! I've been suffering from plantar fasciitis but I think I may have finally found my cure. The practical, easy-to-follow advice has improved my running, made it much easier, and, most importantly for me, silenced my feet. It was a fun, informative couple of hours with friendly like-minded people and a great teacher in Mary. I can't recommend it highly enough! Caroline

‘Get Running’ The Book: The Verdict – The best running book ever. Comprehensive, inspiring and beautifully produced. Thank you!Irish Examiner

Beginners Running: I thought I would never run, I thought I couldn’t. With Forget The Gym, I enjoy every minute of the class. I love the confidence I have gained from Mary’s encouragement and the support of the other girls. It is the first time I have ever kept something up on my own after a class. It is great!Jennifer

Running Classes: I have wasted ALOT of money on gym memberships and classes over the years and this is the only thing I have ever stuck at. I love the variety in the classes, you never know what to expect. It’s fun and I look forward to going to each and every one.Marie

ChiRunning Workshop: Highly recommend the Chi Running 2 hours course. I gained lots of insights into how to improve my running and those who I coach. All positive feedback from all my coaches who also attended and it was lovely way to deliver the course with great humour and fun.Lee

Marathon Coaching:Anybody thinking of doing the marathon I’d definitely recommend the Marathon Training programme. Mary’s help and experience gave me the confidence I needed for the marathon and I’m currently training for marathon Number 8 all thanks to the advice and support I received. Best of luck to all the students I know you’ll be in good hands and on the way to that 26.2mile dream.David

Beginners Running:What has impressed me most about Forget the Gym is the continuous ‘aftercare’ – weekly e-mails with extra support and motivation that shows the coaches are truly passionate about what they do. What I really loved was that everyone was made feel special (unlike some clubs who are only interested in the ‘fit’ people) and treated exactly the same.Teresa

Running Classes:Mary is my guru, I don’t know how she remains so personally invested in each of her people and she has such a way of encouraging you that you never want to disappoint her and you get out of bed in the morning as much for this, as for yourself. Thanks Mary, I owe you!Marie
