    Years of Excellence

    Our Journey Since 1990

    East Fit Coaching was founded by David McIlhenney, a personal trainer who has been helping people improve their health, strength, and confidence since 1990.

    After earning a master's degree in education and spending years working with clients of all ages and fitness levels, David opened his private studio in 2004 with one goal: to provide personalized coaching that delivers real, lasting results.

    Today, David works alongside his son, Aidan, continuing the family's passion for helping people transform their lives through expert coaching, nutrition guidance, and accountability. Together, they provide a welcoming, results-driven environment where members receive individualized attention and support every step of the way.

    Meet David McIlhenney, The Founder

    David has dedicated his life to helping others achieve their fitness and health goals. Since 1990, he has worked with countless individuals, helping them lose weight, build muscle, and regain their confidence.

    With a master's degree in education, David understands that true coaching goes beyond just prescribing workouts. It's about teaching, motivating, and building sustainable habits that last a lifetime.

    His vision for East Fit Coaching was to create a private, never-crowded space where adults could train safely and effectively, free from the intimidation of commercial gyms.
