personal training and coaching
Hi, I’m Ciara Loughran, a qualified personal trainer and world champion Irish dancer.
I specialise in strength and conditioning for Irish dancers. I help dancers build the strength, athleticism, and confidence needed to perform at their best — both on and off the stage. Drawing on my own competitive experience, I design personalised training programmes that support dancers alongside their classes and help them reach their full potential. I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s embark on this adventure together.

2.5 years – I have seen a massive improvement
in my dancing. Ciara is always adapting the exercises as I get stronger to ensure progression. My sessions are really fun but still hard work. I always finish feeling buzzing, energised and motivated!
