Mental Fitness coaching grounded in psychotherapy, physical training and lived experience
Strengthening your body & mind.
I’m Colin Gayer. My Mental Fitness exists because the kind of support I needed - work that trains both body and mind, delivered by someone who truly understands both - didn’t exist. Now it does.
I am qualified psychotherapist and certified personal trainer who has lived the recovery journey. That means our work goes deeper than a standard PT session — I understand what’s happening in your mind as well as your body, because I’ve been there.
Every session is 1-to-1, private and built entirely around you. No gym floor. No generic programmes. Just real, tailored work in a confidential space where you can show up exactly as you are. So you can build consistency, take control, and create a life that actually holds together.
What is Mental Fitness?
Physical fitness gets most of the attention. We count steps, track workouts, measure progress. But your mind needs the same consistent focus—and most people were never taught how to train it.
Mental fitness isn’t just therapy, and it’s not just exercise. It’s the daily practice of building resilience, managing stress, understanding your patterns, and developing habits that hold up when life gets hard.
At My Mental Fitness, we train both together—because a strong body with a struggling mind, or a clear mind in a neglected body, will only take you so far. Real wellbeing is built on both. That’s what we do here.
Who this is for
You feel like life is off track—and so many things feel wrong you don’t even know where to start. There might be anxiety, stress, burnout… or just a quiet, persistent sense that things could be better, but you can’t see how to get there from here.
You’ve probably tried things before, and they haven’t stuck. That’s not a failure—it usually means you haven’t had the right support.
The people who get the most out of this work often arrive unsure, sometimes sceptical, and not fully convinced things can change. They leave with clarity, structure, and the belief that they actually can.
If you’re willing to show up and do the work, this is for you.
How it works
There are two ways to work with me — both are 1:1, both are built entirely around you.
Personal Training Private 1:1 PT sessions in Ballincollig. Strength, fitness and conditioning — with mental health at the centre of everything we do. No gym floor, no generic plans. Just real training in a private space, designed around you.
The Reset Programme A 12-week programme combining personal training and psychotherapy-informed coaching. For people who feel like life is off track and want to change that — for good.
My story
I'm Colin Gayer — qualified psychotherapist and certified personal trainer. There was a time when I needed to completely turn my life around, and I did. That experience is at the heart of everything I do.
I built My Mental Fitness for anyone who wants to feel better, function better, and create real, lasting change — whatever that looks like for you.
If you're ready to do the work, I'm ready to show up for you.
