In January 2011 I was given the opportunity to take part in the World Police and Fire Games in New York In August 2011. At the time I was two stone heavier than ever before. I used the World Police and Fire Games as my motivational tool to lose weight and get myself fit again. I signed up for Setanta Fit's boot camp for an eight week programme. After a couple of weeks I starting losing weight, so the bootcamp sessions and proper diet were proving to be successful. Seeing results motivated me even more to reaching my overall goal so I joined up for another eight weeks. After the second eight weeks at bootcamp my weight loss was greater than my expectations. In the last month before I went to New York I had eight sessions of Altitude training and I believe this was perfect perparation for the games. In total I lost two stone and had improved my fitness levels to a very high standard. The hard work and fantastic coaching paid off in New York when we won the gold medal in the GAA 7s a game which takes immense fitness levels and stamina and thanks to Setanta Fit I had in abundance.
