This used to be me.
Declan McCarthy is a Level 3 qualified personal trainer in Altrincham, specialising in boxing, body fat reduction, muscle development and body confidence. Based at PureGym Altrincham, he helps people in Altrincham, Hale and Sale who feel stuck in their weight loss journey transform their health — because he's been exactly where they are now.
The difference wasn't willpower or a magic diet. It was finding one thing I enjoyed — skipping rope — and building everything around it. Boxing, fat loss, confidence, consistency. The weight came off. Then kept coming off. Eventually I stepped onto a competitive bodybuilding stage.
That's why I became a PT. Because I know exactly how it feels to walk into a gym feeling invisible, convinced every other person there knows what they're doing and you don't. You don't need to figure it out alone. You don't need to have it sorted before you start. You just need someone who's walked that road before you.
