FAQs

Do I need to be fit to start?
Not at all. Many of our members start with little or no training experience. Every exercise can be adapted, and our coaches support you at your own pace. We meet you where you are and help you progress safely and confidently.
What is small group personal training?
Small group personal training combines the individual attention of personal training with the motivation and energy of group training. Sessions are coached, structured, and personalised, with limited numbers to ensure proper technique, support, and results with max 8 per class.
Do you help with weight loss?
Yes. We have helped hundreds of women lose significant weight and, most importantly, maintain their weight loss long-term. Our approach focuses on strength training, consistency, education, and sustainable habits — not quick fixes or extremes.
Do you offer classes for kids and teenagers?
Yes. We offer age-appropriate training for children from 10 years old, focusing on movement, strength, confidence, coordination, and safe exercise habits. These sessions are designed to be supportive, fun, and structured.
What if I’m older or haven’t trained in years?
You’re very welcome here. We coach members in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Training focuses on strength, mobility, balance, and maintaining independence, with exercises adapted to individual ability and needs.
How many sessions per week should I attend?
Most members attend 2–3/4 sessions per week, but this can be adjusted based on your schedule, goals, and experience. We’ll help you choose the right option for you.
Is the gym beginner-friendly?
Absolutely. Emma Murphy Fitness is known for being welcoming, supportive, and non-intimidating. There’s no judgement, no pressure, and no expectation to “keep up” — just encouragement and guidance.
Where are you located?
We are based in Dublin 11, conveniently located for Finglas, Charlestown, and surrounding areas.
