Bernard Dunne
World Champion Boxer
I.A.B.A High-Performance Director
We were fortunate to have Karl spend 2019 as part of our high-performance unit. He continued working alongside our squad in 2020 due to his outstanding performance as an intern. Karl was an excellent addition to our team and assimilated easily into our unit.
Karl is competent and organised, and his positive attitude and sense of humour made him popular among our team. Integrating into a culture of high-performance athletes and support staff is no easy task but Karl fully immersed himself in all that we were trying to achieve. Karl as a person is an exceptional individual and as a professional in his field his is extremely competent.
Karl established himself as an influential and respected member of the boxing support team. One of the key roles included the implementation and management of a daily monitoring system. His attention to detail and enthusiasm was invaluable in ensuring that all necessary information was successfully collected. After collecting and assessing a range of key monitoring variables, Karl provided feedback to the coaching team regarding how each individual boxer was responding to the training undertaken.
Karl’s knowledge, professionalism and passion for the work that he does was evident on a daily basis. Karl’s work made a significant contribution to the preparations and medal winning performances of the boxing squad throughout this time.

Backed By Science:
Our programmes are designed and supported by evidence based knowledge I have acquired over years of studying, developing and training. This dedication and knowledge enabled me to gain a position with Irelands No.1 Olympic sport as part of their sport science team.
During this time, the High-Performance Unit of Irish boxing achieved an overall top three finish at the European Games, having competed against some of the powerhouses of world boxing in preparation for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Developing and learning alongside elite athletes and sports science experts played a major role in fuelling my ambition to work with people who wanted to achieve their own individual goals.
Working in a results driven High-Performance environment means constantly having to evolve and refine your skills as a practitioner in the sports industry. The evidence based systems I have acquired and developed are proven to work in an elite environment and will be applied to every individual that trains with Marlay Health and Fitness.
Each package we offer is an individualised training programme spanning a minimum of 6 weeks. They are designed to your specifications and targets for sustained long term health. They include data collection, nutritional analysis and continuous feedback. This information is taken and analysed to best inform you of your progress.
