About Darragh

Hi my name is Darragh Ugarte. I am a qualified strength and conditioning coach and personal trainer and the proud owner of DU Strength Coaching!

I opened the gym in December 2021, with the hope of turning my passion into a business. I love to coach people who want to improve their lives by being stronger, fitter and healthier. This was and still is, my motivation to coach.

I started out my first year of training at 16 years of age and I have been dedicated ever since. Fast forward 9 years and I now have the ability to share my passion with like minded people, and truly help people get into shape and build a stronger and healthier body!

I believe exercise is a vital part of feeling good and living a long and healthy life.

If you believe in the same values as myself get in touch and we can get going!

I talked to Darragh about helping my son improve his strength and flexibility for his sport. Darragh researched what movements and muscle groups were required for my son’s sport. Darragh then designed and delivered a specific individual training plan that worked great. This included one on one training as well as training to be done at home. He is very approachable, friendly and gets on great with his clients. Would definitely recommend. While we haven’t taken part in a group class, if Darragh were to do one we would have no hesitation in joining.

I started working with darragh 7 weeks ago and only finished my last session with him recently he shared me his knowledge when it came to technique and nutrition which I myself had very little of. If you are looking to be put through your paces and work towards your goal and see changes in your overall look and well being I can’t recommend a better man. I will 100% be going back to him in the near future

Never liked goin to the gym...started strength training this year with Darragh and he knows when to push you and when to hold back...Darragh always tells us "you don't have to punish your body to get results you want" which really resonates with me...3 of us train together so not only do we push one another but we can also have a laugh..we always say its our time to do something for ourselves. He takes up to 4 people in one session which is brilliant...I've never enjoyed training but I'm really enjoying this time for myself...anyone hesitant about takin it up chat to Darragh. He will put you at ease and what I love is he treats everyone as an individual not as a group which allows everyone to go at their own pace ...8 would recommend him highly!
