"From being a gym newbie to now feeling much more confident - Dara is always there to help me plan for my success, and then hold me accountable to get there. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in transforming not only their body, but their habits, health, and life."

I've been working with Dara for nearly a year now and can't recommend him enough. After a bad arm break I needed to get my confidence back and get fit again. Dara has me well on the way to exceeding where I was before. He really meets you where you are - without being afraid to challenge you.

I can only say good things about working with Dara - he has helped me regain a lot of balance in my busy life which I am truly grateful for! I appreciate his honesty, encouragement and understanding as we made a plan which suited my lifestyle. Highly recommend Strength and Balance!

I started working with Dara as I had hit a wall when it came to reaching my goals. I was looking for something fresh with guidance along the way. Dara has been brilliant. His workouts are challenging but focused on my targets and his regular check-ins made me feel that he was really invested in my plan.

Dara is a super coach with a great way of dealing with his clients. He helped me lose 8kg in 8 weeks which has been instrumental in allowing me to complete my first marathon. I would recommend Dara to anyone who wants to lose weight, build strength or just form good routines/habits around exercising, eating and general well-being.

Dara is a great PT, he knows how to find the balance between what you need to achieve on one hand, and the right energy and motivation on other.
