A County Down Under

Season 2, Episode 18: Gym+Coffee "Make Life Richer" with Diarmuid Mc Sweeney

Caroline Mc Kenna

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the Co-founders of Ireland's largest and leading athlesiure brand Gym+Coffee, Diarmuid McSweeney. Diarmuid, alongside his friends Karl Swaine and Niall Horgan had lived abroad for a few years (Karl and Diarmuid in Sydney and Melbourne, Niall in San Francisco). They all noticed something really nice about the lifestyle there – people socialised in a very different way than they had previously tended to in Ireland.


It wasn't until his return from Australia that the entrepreneurial dream was realised. Soon Gym+Coffee was born. 


 In this episode Diarmuid discusses what makes Gym+Coffee the unique athleisure brand that is taking the world by storm, working with famous faces such as Brian O’Driscoll who is Head Of the Community and having just has announced a new partnership with singer Niall Horan.
