Ian Graham, CPT, USATF

Ian got involved in sports and fitness training from a relatively young age. It was in secondary school, when in started running cross-country and track that he started developing his interest in sports training, fitness and physique development.

Ian quickly ditched the cross-country and focused his attentions on the speed and power events of sprinting, long jump and triple jump. It wasn’t until Ian started training for these events that he personally began to notice real changes in his own physique and further stimulated his interest in training and physique development.

Ian competed in the sport of track and field for many years and won many medals at the juvenile, junior, Under 23 and senior level, including a national junior title in the long jump back in 1996.

Over the past few years, Ian has organised and successfully ran several sports performance and functional training seminars, with some of the world’s best sports performance coaches and trainers.

He is a Certified Personal Trainer and a Certified Level II USA Track & Field Coach in the Sprints, Hurdles, Relays, and the Jumps events.

Bryan Kavanagh, BSc, CSCS

Bryan has been training in Tae-Kwon-Do since the tender age of six and earned his Black Belt in ITF Tae-Kwon-Do in 2001. He began boxing in 2004 and still trains in both disciplines today, as he feels they complement each other. 

He has competed nationally and internationally in both Tae-Kwon-Do and Boxing countless times and has fought all over Europe as far as Iceland, Spain and Poland.

In 2002 at a young age, Bryan completed the NSCA Certified Personal Trainer exam. Realising that his interest in Sports Performance, Physique Development, and Nutrition could not be satisfied with a CPT distinction alone, Bryan decided to further his education and went on to complete his BSc in Sports Science and Health in Dublin City University.

Since completing his degree in sports science and health, Bryan has recently gone on to complete the NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist examination.

Bryan attends any strength and conditioning, and sports performance seminars that are accessible to him, and recently attended Chad Waterbury's seminar in London, England and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Annual Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA in July 2008.

Along with Ian, Bryan operates a small personal training company in Dublin, Ireland called VIP Training or ‘Visual Impact Personal Training’ “For Results You Can See”
