My name is Darragh Gibbs, and I am the proud owner of The DG Academy. My journey is unique—I began my career as a football (soccer) coach, earning my UEFA B coaching license in college alongside my bachelor's degree.
For 13 years, I've coached teams, groups, and individuals. Five years ago, I left a job in investment banking to fully commit to my passion for coaching. My experience spans coaching thousands in football, accumulating over 5,000 hours as a personal trainer, and now guiding professionals in the corporate and business world.
I understand the challenges of neglecting health and feeling unfulfilled. When clients invest in me, I take that responsibility seriously. I’ve dedicated the past 18 months to working with executives and business owners, helping them become healthier, better leaders for their families and workplaces.
My coaching method, KISS - Keep It Simple Sexy, focuses on making you "Fit For Life," not just for a holiday. I aim to teach my clients to be fit, strong, healthy, and confident, ultimately empowering them to manage their health independently. Investing in my coaching will be one of the best decisions of your life.
“Prior to commencing my programme I kept thinking “ this will be just like the other plans, a complete waste of my money and time”, but that was not the case at all.
I had to over come personal issues with myself and did with ease with assistance from Darragh.
One thing I didn’t realise prior to this programme is that the mentality behind your training and nutrition is half the battle and with the skills Darragh gave me, this is no longer an issue.
I never felt starved or forced with Darragh. He was so empathetic and understanding during times I needed recovery and recuperation.”
What is the biggest result so far since becoming a client of mine?
"Slimming down and losing that belly I had, for me is a big result as its built confidence in myself and also eating alot healthier."
What has changed the most since becoming a client?
"Changed my mindset into eating healthier and having a good relationship with food and more importantly myself, I find I'm eating more and not feeling shit about it as going for the healthier option, also feeling better in myself because of it all."

"I was losing and putting up weight for years, doing this plan and that plan, and trying this diet and that diet.
I wasn’t looking for a big weight loss in a short amount of time. I was looking for help with my consistency and my understanding of the healthy ways to lose weight like how workouts, eating and mindset work as one not separately.
I couldn’t have made a better choice for myself by starting this plan.
My mindset and how I view myself has changed for the better. I’m not starving myself or missing out on a social life. I’m working hard to achieve my goals and Darragh is helping me hit them every week. "
"He goes above & beyond for his clients assisting in every way possible.
For me it’s the mental struggle to get into the gym & he has helped with tips & tricks to get myself in & get the best from myself when in there.
My mindset is so much more positive since starting my journey with Darragh, my confidence is growing & I’m seeing that I will hit my goals 1 step at a time without overwhelming myself.
I’ve gained a life long friend in Darragh & I look forward to see what we can achieve on the rest of my journey."
