Originally from Ireland, I have been living in New Zealand for over 12 years. My journey with health and fitness started a long time ago—as you can see from the photo. Yes, that’s me on both the left and right! The difference? In the left photo, I weighed 125kg, and in the right, I had just completed my first ultra-marathon (50km). Life is full of surprises!

 

​My passion for fitness and health has grown ever since I began my own journey all those years ago. Along the way, I made plenty of mistakes, often finding myself starting over again and again. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to lose motivation, struggle with consistency, and feel stuck. But through every setback, I learned valuable lessons—most importantly, what not to do. Now, I want to share that knowledge and help as many people as possible become the best version of themselves.​

 

In October 2023, I made a life-changing decision. I left my job in tourism management, took a year off, and committed to making real changes. I realized that my career wasn’t allowing me to make the impact I wanted. So, I dedicated my time to earning the certifications needed to start this new chapter. Just over a year later, Joe Hanna Coaching was born—and I couldn’t be happier.​I look forward to connecting with you, coaching you, and helping you on your journey to a healthier, stronger, and more confident you
