Medi-Fit

Medi-Fit is a Functional Fitness facility that specialises in ‘Fitness for Living’ and using exercise as a preventative and treatment option for chronic illness and disease.

With over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, Keeley Farrell (a Lecturer of Sport, Fitness and Coaching and Clinical Exercise Specialist) identified a need to use exercise as a preventative and treatment option to support active living. Keeley said “As we age, our muscle mass declines, our joints stiffen, and our cardiovascular and pulmonary capacity reduces. Exercise is key to slowing this process and in some cases, can reduce the effects of chronic illness and disease. Engagement in regular exercise, maintaining muscle mass and keeping the body functioning efficiently is key to long-term health and longevity. We use this knowledge and expertise to build exercise programmes that are suitable for everyone, regardless of age, ability or health”.

Supported by Lorraine Maher (Functional Fitness Manager) and Owen Lennon (Fitness Instructor & Personal Trainer), we are passionate about promoting health, wellness, and celebrating the joy of movement. Our approach to fitness is rooted in personalised care, expert guidance, and creating a warm community atmosphere. We believe in empowering our members to embrace an active lifestyle that promotes fitness for living.
