    Lads anyone know of any place in Dublin that does Mobility/flexibilty type training? Not strength and conditioning or body building, nothing like that. Just somewhere that teaches you to become more agile, handstands, backbends, cartwheels, the splits, that kind of thing.
    Cheers

    AM Fitness in Terenure.

    They're pretty much leading the city in it.

    ...also yoga.

    Emmet Louis is pretty well regarded internationally in that area too. Not sure what gym he is based out of now. But easy to find him on twitter/facebook etc. If you look at the AM Fitness website, you’ll see Emmet in a lot of the shots. He has some good backbend info on his blog. see here.

    I imagine if you asked Andy (AM Fitness) or Emmet who they’d recommend, they’d each name the other. You won’t go wrong with either of them imo.

    Thanks lads. Emmet louis was my first port of call, but like you said, he's gone travelling for 2 years. Its crazy that theres so few people teaching this kind of trianing, whereas convential strength and weightlifting coaches are a dime a dozen.

    Why's it crazy?

    Most people who wanna move better just go do yoga.

    There's a very limited demand and appreciation for it, so no one does it!
