The FFS Story

GROWING STRONGER SINCE 2013

FFS was founded to bring top-class S&C to the general population and recreational athletes. Our philosophy of putting people first has helped us create an approachable and fun environment where people can make long-term sustainable changes to their health and fitness. 

 

It all began over a burrito in late 2012, after founders Rory McInerney and Ciaran “Rudds” Ruddock finished college. They were looking for an opportunity to use their Health & Performance Science degrees and make a real impact in the health and fitness industry. 

 

Rory was tired of writing training programs for his friends but never seeing commitment or results due to the environment created in traditional commercial gyms. He suggested setting up a gym that combined fundamental sports science principles with an enjoyable team atmosphere to create an environment that excites people to train in. From there, Fitter Faster Stronger was born.

 

With many late nights and the help of friends and family, the Home of Hard Work opened its doors on Leeson Street just a few weeks later, friends and fam in February 2013. 

 

The last 11 years have been full of ups and downs, but we are more excited than ever to help people get stronger. 

THE HIGHEST QUALITY PROFESSIONAL SKILLS

Our team is made up of a diverse and quirky group of results-driven coaches. Some of them love KFC and burgers, others binge watch Ireland’s fittest family. But they are all passionate about fitness and strive to deliver exceptional training to each of our members.

 

All our coaches are trained to the highest standards and constantly develop their skills in-house at FFS. They are trained to help people of every age and fitness to achieve their goals and provide advice tailored specifically to their needs. So you can rely on our trustworthy coaches to take you through your workout.

MAKING FITNESS FUN IN A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT

As well as top-class training, our coaches also aim to create a fun environment to train and work in. Our enjoyable and supportive atmosphere encourages members to attend training every week, so they can achieve their goals and stay fit long-term. This approach is at the heart of our growing community.

QUALITY AT THE HEART OF FFS

Our new philosophy put quality training at the heart of FFS, with classes based around movement patterns and monthly periodised plans. As word spread about the effective and enjoyable training we offered, our community quickly grew. Coming from every walk of life, our awesome members and trainers helped us develop a fun culture to add to our top-class training. Community events, such as BBQs, fitness competitions and charity challenges, now become a monthly occurrence.

ALWAYS WORKING HARDER

By 2016, a waiting list of almost 100 people spurred us on to expand our services and open another location just down the road.

Our journey so far has been full of fun and excitement. We’re very proud to have helped so many people become fitter, faster and stronger. We look forward to continuing our growth and getting stronger in the future.
