Welcome to Michelle Filan Coaching

 I'm Michelle Filan, a coach, educator and lifelong advocate for helping people become stronger in both body and mind.

For more than 25 years, I've worked with women, girls and athletes to build strength, confidence and resilience through practical, evidence-based coaching. My approach combines expertise in strength and conditioning, nutrition, movement, mindset and behaviour change to create coaching that delivers lasting results.

Alongside coaching clients, I've worked in coach development, player development and youth athletic development, supporting coaches and young athletes across Ireland. Whether I'm working with a woman taking her first steps into the gym or a young athlete striving to reach their potential, my focus is always the same: helping people grow in confidence and discover what they're capable of.

I'm also a mum, so I understand the challenge of balancing your own health with work, family and everything else life demands. Following brain surgery, I had to rebuild my own strength and confidence from the ground up. That experience changed how I coach. It taught me that real progress comes through consistency, patience and support, not perfection.

Today, my mission is simple: to create a welcoming environment where people feel supported, challenged and empowered to become stronger, healthier and more confident for life.
