Background
I participated in boxing for a total of four years, along the way I managed to win three County Titles and competed in the IABA Leinster and Irish Championships.
How did EQ Strength and Conditioning Start
One day, I decided to set up an Instagram account and within a short space of time, I gained a substantial number of followers through posting regularly in relation to Training and Nutrition.
Long story short, while on work placement in early 2016, I started receiving multiple messages via Instagram and emails from individuals asking me to devise Nutrition Plans and Training Programmes for them. I saw an opportunity, and I ran with it.
Within a month or so www.eqstrengthandconditioning.com was up and running and I have never looked back.

WHAT CLIENT'S SAY
David Moynan / Nutrition
I have just completed my nutrition plan with Emmet and I am delighted now that I signed up. I lost 7.9kg in total.
Emmets plan was easy to stick to and the foods included were great, plenty of variety and easy to cook. I feel great now and have a lot more energy because I am eating proper food and proper quantities. I used to always struggle to keep weight down over the winter while cycling but with Emmets help that is no longer an issue.
It was probably the best money I ever spent and I will definitely purchase another plan off him. Emmet was always there checking in every monday morning for my weekly weigh in. He was there to answer any questions I had any time of day or night.
I would highly recommend Emmet Quinlan to anyone who is looking to eat healthy and stay in shape. I would like to thank Emmet very much keep up the good work its a credit to you.
Lynda / Nutrition
I was interested in Emmets nutritional plan after seeing the amazing results from he’s other clients. I’m a very active person & have alway been comfortable in my own skin but as I’m getting knee surgery & will be out of action for a while exercise wise I wanted to have the dietary tools to control my body weight without relying on exercise.
I feel Emmets nutritional plan was very easy to follow & enjoyable. It was such a help to have Emmet checking in & giving great encouragement. I lost more than half a stone and I was so happy with the difference in such a short space of time.
I feel leaner & have better definition in my core which is exactly what I wanted. I believe that the nutritional plan has giving me the foundation to control my body weight in a way that I didn’t have before & I am confident that I will continue to improve. I would like to take the chance to thank Emmet & recommend him to anyone who wants to feel that little bit more confident in themselves
Miriam / Training & Nutrition
Emmet was amazing. I’m getting married at the end of the year and although I enjoy working out- I have a really sweet tooth and have never been good to watch what I eat. But Emmet’s plan was so simple to follow – you literally can’t go wrong and I was full all the time. I think Emmet has a six sense- as every time I feel off the bangwangon- he texted me straight away, to give me a kick. He was in constant contact and really kept me motivated, especially at the weekends which I always did find tough. I’m lifting weights I never imagined lifting and I’ve never felt so energetic. I literally couldn’t praise him enough.
Aoife Sweeney / Premium Personal Training
I started with Emmet for my 7 week PT programme feeling nervous about changing my workouts to weight training! I have done only cardio for years and had not been able to achieve the muscle definition I wanted ..I was terrified if I tried weights I would look big and ‘bulky’.
I was so wrong ,Emmet set a programme for me to achieve my goals – get leaner and build muscle /tone up.
I was shocked in the 7 weeks to find myself looking and more importantly feeling much better!!
My energy went through the roof and I couldn’t believe with Emmet’s nutrition plan that I was eating more than ever (over 2,000 cals) a day and looking way more toned!!
Emmet was on the phone at any time I needed to ask a question and he was so motivating.
He is so passionate about what he does and really interested to tailoring a programme that is unique to your goals !10/10″
Sarah Bowe / Premium Personal Training
I have just completed my 7 week PT sessions with Emmet. I previously did his online course back last September and found Emmet brilliant. This time was no different. I have always done a good bit of cardio but weight training is relatively new for me and with some longstanding injuries I found it all so frustrating. However, Emmet was 100% dedicated throughout, if he had to modify my programme he would, if he had to change down my weights he would, if he had to correct my technique, he would. He didn’t once push me beyond what I was capable of doing. Not only did he motivate and constantly push me throughout my 6 week progamme, he also helped me with my injuries and made sure I was in no pain at any stage. I didn’t think my results were good on the scales at our final session, easy mistake lots of us make and I was a small bit disappointed but thankfully Emmet advised to take pictures … and they speak for themselves I think. It’s about the inches and not the pounds. I definitely feel leaner and stronger but know I still have work to do and using what Emmet has taught me I will continue to work hard. I’d like to thank Emmet for his professionalism and hard work at all times, his knowledge and good advice is hard come by. I would highly recommend EQ Strength and Conditioning to anyone who is thinking of making a new years resolution, it’s worth every cent. I know I will definatley avail of his services again. Thanks Emmet.

Anonymous / Training & Nutrition
I found Emmets Training & Nutrition course to be fantastic and I took a lot of learnings from it in relation to both.
I found the approach to nutrition fascinating – as I have a big appetite, I found the portion control difficult at first, but once my body got used to it, and I got used to measuring my food, it was very straightforward – and is something which will be easy to continue with going forward.
The variety of exercise was also excellent – it ensures that you don’t get bored or tired of doing the same routine day after day. Also, I really enjoyed the cardio aspect that included on my request.
Emmet was an excellent coach in all aspects – he is encouraging, a clear communicator, and always available to answer any queries!
I would highly recommend the course, and the coach, and look forward to working with Emmet again.

Jason / Training & Nutrition
I just completed a 12-week training & nutrition plan with EQ Strength and conditioning.
After the 12 weeks, I had a total loss of 12kg
I had set myself a goal of 2 stone, which I didn’t think was achievable. But after 12 weeks I’m only 1kg off..
To be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect at the start but I have been wanting to do something this long time.. The first week was the hardest I have to admit, changing from old habits is not easy especially when you’re busy and a stop in a shop is easy option.
If fairness to Emmet he checked in every few days to see how I was going and addressed any concerns there and then which really helped.
Now I’m finished the 12 week programme I do plan on continuing my journey as I feel a lot healthier now
I would recommend EQ Strength and conditioning to anyone who is considering making a change cause there’s no doubt it works and Emmet is a great support throughout.”
