Meet David

THE COACH BEHIND DQ PERFORMANCE COACHING

I'm David Quirke, a strength and conditioning coach based in Meath. I've spent over 10 years coaching people who want more from their training — from first-timers who've never touched a barbell to athletes preparing for Hyrox, Tryka, GAA and football.

My coaching philosophy is simple: build the basics brilliantly, progress them honestly, and keep the environment one you actually want to show up to. No punishment sessions, no guesswork — just structured work that transfers to real life and competition.

10+ years coaching

A decade-plus coaching everyday people and competitive athletes in strength and conditioning.

Hyrox & Tryka experience

Competing and coaching at Hyrox and Tryka events — the programming comes from doing it too.

GAA & FAI experience

Worked with multiple GAA teams in Meath, winning two Championships as a player and two as a coach. Spent 5+ years with the FAI as Head of S&C for the Youth Development Course.

Meath based

In-person coaching in the Navan and Ashbourne areas, plus online worldwide.

“The best programme is the one you can stick to — but it still has to make you better. That balance is what we chase every session.”

Testimonials

REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.

“Can't recommend this place enough. Between Hyrox sims, PT's and classes it's 10/10. I joined this gym at the end of January and was the best thing I ever did. David has been so helpful on my journey and has really pushed me to my fullest potential. Not only a Hyrox gym but open to anybody. Great community all round!”

Leah Casey

Google Review

“This is not just a gym. This is a community of supportive and welcoming people that all have the same goal of getting fit and pushing their limits while still having fun. I have always shied away from gyms due to cliques and unwelcoming atmospheres but there is none of that here. Brilliant supportive coaches and a top class facility. Sign up for a class. You won't regret it!”

Paul Caldwell

“I can't recommend this gym enough! David is a great coach. He genuinely cares about your goals and takes the time to understand what you want to achieve. He's encouraging, approachable, and always ready with advice or a friendly word. The atmosphere here is inclusive, motivating, and always a bit of craic!”

“I joined the team at this gym 2 years ago. I always dipped in and out of fitness. DQ fitness allowed me create a positive approach to fitness & gym. I'm a 55 year old who now works out 3-4 times a week. It's far more than a gym, it's a community that supports and encourages your fitness at every level. Thanks to David for supporting me on my healthy lifestyle journey.”
