Life isn't so much about what happens to us,
as it is about how we respond to what happens to us.
as it is about how we respond to what happens to us.

Catherine Dowling, bestselling author and co-founder spokesperson of FICTA
55 years teaching people how to be Fit, Healthy and Well.
You CAN learn HOW TO BE:
Fit for Purpose.
Fit for Living.
Fit for Business.
Fit for Play.
Mr. Conor Holmes, Managing Director, Outside The Box, Naas, Co. Kildare.
I came in to contact with David Hegarty in the Spring of 2019. I had been diagnosed with onset rheumatoid arthritis. His enthusiasm and zest for life are infectious. I embarked on a 10 session, one-on-one personal programme.
To say it was life-changing would be a gross understatement.
I have personally benefited enormously
I am back to where I want to be, and doing the recommended mental and physical activities with intent, purpose and concentration, as guided by a wonderful mentor, motivator, and above all, a gentleman.
I cannot recommend David highly enough and can vouch that provided you actually practise all that he preaches, you will gain enormous benefit and quality of life improvements, way beyond what you thought might be possible.

Mindful Days…
A book of Mindfulness to which everyone can relate.
Still your mind.
Soothe your nerves.
Calm your emotions.
After a lifetime of teaching people how to be fit, healthy and well, David Hegarty has produced an anthology of observations, ideas, teachings, and a few memoirs, that reflect his philosophy on Fitness, Health and Wellbeing, and their respective influence on our lives.
There’s a life lesson on nearly every page, which makes this book ideal to dip into, to browse.
Fitness as a means to energised living, keeping the mind and the body in tune for an active, productive, fulfilling life.
It’s not all about athletic elitism, or six-packs, or ‘trimmed buns’.
It’s about day-to-day living; getting more from ourselves, and our lives, with less tension, less anxiety, less stress, and more success. At any level.
Health in mind and in body, and in spirit, and how the elements of that trinity continuously affect each other, is shown here in many short easy readings.
It’s also about being aware, alert to the lessons that life has to show us when we’re open to them.
If you’re tired, run down, out of shape, life can be hard going.
But when you’re fundamentally fit, healthy, and well, you’ll do things, you’ll try things, and you’ll achieve things that otherwise wouldn’t be possible.
That this can be achieved is often reflected in this collection of short pieces, with some engaging and testimonial personal experiences.
At different times in their lives, people have found inspiration, discovered an idea, or principle, they'd forgotten about, connected with a story that asserted their values and beliefs, or simply found comfort in an observation that put life and its tribulations in perspective.
From these pieces, many have been prompted to reflect on their own lives, and realised the value of this simple, though not always easy, practice.
Reading this, you may find that you can influence the direction and the meaning that life might have for you.
The writings in this book are not just fitness tips. They're thoughtful pieces on common-sense examples for use in everyday living.
It's the kind of book you'll keep on the bedside table, or the kitchen, or the office, or the glove compartment, for when you've a spare moment. It’s for those times when you feel the need for pause, reflection, or maybe some redirection in your thinking.

Many people think that getting into shape is a big mystery.
So they never get around to it. And that's a pity.
It's a very simple, even easy, thing to do.
Many have been surprised at how they can turn their lives around.

If you want to get into shape or lose body fat, or have more energy, improve your concentration, or get more from your life and yourself, with a lot less stress, keep reading.
And this isn't just about the body. It's got a lot to do with the mind too.
Any wellness course that's worth doing involves physical and mental strategies
Over fifty years ago, when I introduced this idea in the
Personal Training Centre in Dublin's city centre,
people were surprised.
Then they saw what they could achieve. And started doing it.
Healthy Living Starts at Any Age.

Here's How One Company Achieved :
TEAM SPIRIT,
TEAM IDENTITY,
TEAM EFFICIENCY.
" David Hegarty ran a programme with our practice (ca. 24 people) over 3 months in early 2021. The object was to assist and equip our team to deal with the general pressures and stress of work and life, and to improve performance and well-being.
Little did we realise how valuable this would turn out to be through the depth and gloom of the COVID lockdown during this part of the year. Our weekly sessions with David became a well looked forward to event by all staff – a range of professionals of all ages – as an opportunity to practice de-stressing, relaxation and energising techniques, and to uplift the spirit, and to understand the importance of fitting these into the normal working day, particularly so at this period.
I would recommend David’s programme and his wise and friendly approach, and his unique blend of the physical and the philosophical which generates food for thought as well as supporting people tackle life’s challenges in general and, as part of that, work challenges in particular.
We look forward to occasional refresher sessions with David and our team and new staff coming on board. "

FoodTom Shanahan
Getting a result in anything in life is about taking a decision, and then taking the action to see the decision through.
And when the action starts, you need the determination to keep on doing it. Tom Shanahan did just this. 
"It's a simple process", says Tom, " You decide, then you act, keep repeating it, and get it evaluated. Do this and you'll find it impossible not to get a result"
Tom was feeling a bit lethargic, and thought he could do with a few pounds less. So he DECIDED to DO something about it, kept and on DOING it. He got his progress EVALUATED regularly. He cleaned his diet up, while leaving room for a good social life, got walking on a REGULAR BASIS, and retrained his BREATHING to work for him, giving his METABOLISM a hefty BOOST.
The result was a healthy weight loss, a terrific surge in personal energy, and a notable increase in concentration and work efficiency. Kevin Bodenham
Kevin Bodenham is a decisive man. He believes in the power of decision, and of course, the all important need for acting on it. Being a practical man, he pondered for a short while on what he intended doing about his shape, energy, health, and his life. He wasn't happy with any of them. So he took a decision, put it into action, kept with it, constantly evaluating his progress, emerging from his course as the man you see below. Kevin Bodenham...this is the man who inhabited the Kevin you see above....He's three stone lighter, has 6" less around the waist, and is toned, trim, and fit.
Get regular updayesRecently I asked Kevin what he thought were the key factors in his transformation. Like most accomplished people, he tends to be modest about his achievement. 'I decided what I wanted. That I did for myself. I found out how to do it. You taught me that. And then I just got on with it.' Direct. Simple. Effective. Well done Kevin. Live a long, happy and inspired life. He now has his sights on other goals. We'll keep you posted. For the kind of information that helped Kevin succeed, Hegarty, who has spent a lifetime training and developing in the fields of health and wellness, dietetics, yoga, breathwork, relaxation and meditation, performance and sport psychology, exercise techniques, uses his unique system to help people get the most from their lives, mentally, physically and emotionally. There is no deep mystery to the system. It's natural, effective, and available to anyone. What people say: "...has entrenched the mindset to cope better...the importance to find time for self...revitalised my body and mind...a great coach and teacher." Mr. Ed Slevin. Company CEO An excellent for improved health and well being- both physical and mental- a noticeable improvement in performance of business activities due to coaching skills- Excellent programs - well delivered by the consummate professional Mr E Graham, Co.
