Direct from Ampifi Studio, located in the heart of Carlow Town, Laura O'Donahoe joins us in studio this week. A proud Carlow native who spent 13 years in retail before making the bold decision to change her life’s direction. At 30, she returned to college to become a personal trainer — and she hasn’t looked back since.
Now the manager at Empower Gym in Carlow (big shout out to all the crew in Empower Gym), Laura has been leading the incredibly popular Hot Concept Training classes (Was talking to a few people about your classes, heard its hot, literally!) for the last six years. She also plays a key role at Top Pro Gym, where she’s dedicated to training kids in strength and conditioning and instilling confidence through movement.
Laura’s impact goes far beyond physical fitness. She’s someone who speaks candidly about the challenges she faced growing up, the strength she found through struggle, and the wisdom she now shares with others finding their own path. Laura does all this while being a mother and dealing with a deliberating condition known as Fibromylagia!!
Whether you’re into fitness, personal growth, or just love a great story of grit and transformation — you’re going to want to hear this one.
