Aura Group Runs its Annual Fitness Masterclass for 2025

The Aura Group hosted its annual Fitness Masterclass at DKIT Sport on Thursday July 11^th.

Aura Holohan Group consist of DKIT Sport, Aura Leisure, and Anytime Fitness Ireland, with staff from all over the country in attendance.

The masterclass is an opportunity for staff to interact with one another and share ideas in order to provide our customers with the best practice possible in an ever-changing industry.

To start the day there was a couple of ice-breaker games, which were needed to get people warmed-up for what was to follow.

Following the icebreakers the staff were put through their paces as they undertook a DKIT Sport HYROX class, led by DKIT Sport’s Chris McGlynn, which consisted of several challenging exercises and put everyone to the test.

After the gruelling exploits of the HYROX class, staff were brought through a stretching class by Anytime Fitness Maynooth’s Paul Tynan, allowing everyone to cool down appropriately.

There was a short break to refuel before DKIT Sport’s Operations Manager, Kelly Connor, and Aura Grove Island’s Operations Manager, Craig Clifford, hosted a presentation on how to become the highest-quality fitness instructor you can.

All in attendance also took home a few goodies, including some supplied by TechnoGym, who have equipment in several of our centres.

The Fitness Masterclass is the second of three masterclasses the group holds each year, following on from the Customer Service Masterclass in May, and with the Swim Masterclass to come in August.

Each of these is organised to bring our teams together, in order for them to share their knowledge and enhance what they bring to our members on a daily basis.

We’d like to thank everyone that was in attendance for a brilliant day and hope you took something away from it.

It was another hugely successful masterclass and we look forward to seeing how to apply what you learned as we continue to build a healthier, happier Ireland.
