A coach in every class
There is a qualified coach on the floor in every single session. Not an app or a screen or a sheet taped to the wall. A person who corrects, encourages and adapts on the spot.
About us
Built by Dungannon, for Dungannon.
G45 is a community interest company, which is a formal way of saying this gym exists for its members and its town, not for shareholders.
01How we started
It started in a garden shed.
Gerard did not come to this as a natural athlete. He spent his teenage years struggling with his weight, until he found training and fell for it completely. It gave him energy he had not had before, confidence he did not expect, and a sense of what he was actually capable of. He has spent every year since trying to hand that same feeling to other people.
G45 began in 2021 in his mum’s garden shed. Then a slightly bigger shed. Today it is the big shed on Ballynakilly Road, built on the opposite idea to every gym that ever signed someone up and left them to it. Every single session coached, by a team who know your name, your knee, and what you lifted last Tuesday. And a rule that has never been broken since: nobody trains alone here.
Five years on, more than two hundred locals have come through the 6 Week Programme, the timetable runs seven days a week, and the room is full of people who once swore they were not gym people.
Machines don’t change people. People do. Our job is to build the room where that happens, and to keep it warm.
02What we stand for
Three things we’ll always stick to.
Every level is welcome
From first-timers to Hyrox racers, everyone works off their own numbers. Scaled doesn’t mean easier or lesser, it means it’s yours.
The community comes first
We are a community interest company. Mums bring prams, members bring craic, and the Saturday Team WOD ends in coffee more often than not.
03The team
The faces you’ll see on the floor.
Coaches who train in the room they coach in, and know exactly how heavy that last set felt.
- GGerard · Founder & Head Coach
Went from struggling with his weight as a teenager to building the gym Dungannon deserved. Programmes the training, coaches most mornings, and still answers every enquiry himself.
- BBen · Coach
All about the details: good form, safe movement, and making sure every member feels confident in what they’re doing.
- AoAodhan · Coach
The running, the shouting, and the Mr Motivator energy you didn’t know you needed.
- AmAmy · Marketing
Looks after everything you see and hear from G45, from the emails in your inbox to the stories on social. If you found this place online, that was Amy’s doing.
- +The wider team
Every class stays capped, safe and properly coached, from the 6am S&C to the Sunday Hyrox.
