Our Team
Max Galofre
Hometown: Barcelona, Spain
Studio Manager
Personal Trainer & Group fitness Instructor
Languages: English, Spanish, Catalan and French
Max discovered his passion for movement and self-improvement at age 5 when he took up Judo at his school. Since then, Max went on to practice multiple other martial arts and several individual and team sports, which continued to set off his endless curiosity for all things movement, from traditional sport specific strength and conditioning to disciplines such as contemporary dance or circus performance.
After years of competing and training for fun, Max moved to Ireland to study Personal Training under great coaches such as Mike McGurn and Karl Gilligan. After graduating with top marks he was offered a position at one of the best gyms in the country where he started working as a personal trainer, while also programming for online clients in other countries, running several group classes in gyms in Dublin and meeting renowned athletes, coaches and fitness influencers.
It was around this time when Max truly fell in love with personal training seeing the incredible effects it could have on people’s lives, realizing that, through training, most of his clients were overcoming a lot more than just physical obstacles. That personal journey is what still motivates Max to help new clients.
In 2019, he decided to move back home to Barcelona to establish himself as an independent coach and continue his education. Nowadays, Max is focused on developing his own skills as an athlete and as a coach, continuing his education and finding new ways to apply it all to make his clients’ sessions and programs more enjoyable and effective.

Caitriona was born in Luxembourg, but moved to England when she was 10. She grew up loving all sports and was a keen dancer, gymnast and kickboxer through her teen years.
At University she fell in love with endurance sports going on to complete her first marathon when she was 20 and her first half-Ironman at 23. During this time she became a qualified run coach and personal trainer and fell in love with helping people achieve things they didn’t expect they could.

“I’m a big advocate for mental health and I believe exercise is for everyone, you just need to find what works for you (I’ve changed the way I train so much over the years!). I honestly think health and wellness should be more about how you feel than how you look and I absolutely love helping people FEEL amazing”.
