Meet Our Team

Meet Kevin

Hi there!

I just wanted to introduce myself and let you guys know a little more about me.

My name is Kevin Crowley, owner, founder and head coach at Influence Fitness and Nutrition.

I have a HUGE passion for natural drug free bodybuilding and in 2021, I competed in my very first show with the NBFI (Natural Bodybuilding Federation Of Ireland) where I took first place in my class and got an invite as one of the athletes to represent team Ireland in natural bodybuilding.

I have been working in the fitness industry for quite some time now, have helped hundreds of people transform their lives and I absolutely love what I do.

As a coach, you have the potential to help people to completely transform their lives on both a physical and psychological level and that is something I never take for granted, it is the most rewarding feeling in the world for me and I consider myself very blessed to be in the position I am, entrusted with your goals.

My career in the industry began at the age of 17, when I took up a position as a fitness instructor at one of Cork’s most popular and renowned gyms.

Before long I was promoted to a personal training role at the gym after completing my qualifications and enjoyed three and a half very successful years working there, forming strong relationships with the clients I was lucky enough to work with and assist in achieving their respective health and fitness goals.

Many of those clients still work with me to this day and I would consider them to be close friends at this stage.

After enjoying such success, I decided that I wanted to focus more on the nutrition side of things as I felt that it would give me more control over the results that people achieved and allow me to make more of an impact essentially.

I was offered the position of head nutritionist at one of Ireland’s most renowned online coaching companies and built up a massive portfolio of results with people of varying goals and experience levels during my time there.

It seriously motivated me to be the very best coach I can be, seeing so many peoples lives change for the better and I am constantly investing in furthering my education in this filed, so that I can offer my clients a very premium coaching service.

Writing informative articles on nutrition, training and mindset is something I love to do and I always make an effort to be consistent with my social media content, so I can reach out to and help as many people as possible.

My passion for helping people to achieve their full potential is the reason that I decided to create Influence Fitness and Nutrition.

I created Influence to be the platform that helps you to become an all around better, healthier and happier version of yourself!

My aim is to impact the lives of others in a positive way by helping people to achieve their fitness goals in a very sustainable, realistic and enjoyable fashion.

I also want to help you to get to know yourself and become more self aware along the way, so that you can deal well with setbacks as well as understand your behaviours and emotions that can impact on adherence better.

This will allow you to be in full control at all times, no matter what kind of curve balls get thrown, to enable you to keep making smart choices and keep moving forwards with your goals regardless.

At Influence, we don’t believe in quick fixes or short term results, we want to help you to adopt a lifestyle change that doesn’t mean putting your life on hold to get in shape, so that you can get and maintain amazing results without feeling like you are being restricted.

Hopefully that gives you a good insight as to what I’m about and I look forward to getting to know you much better and helping you level up should I be lucky enough to get the opportunity work with you.

Meet Laura

Hello everyone!

My name is Laura Browne and I just wanted to put a few words together so you can get to know a little more about me.

I’m very proud to be part of the team here at Influence Fitness and Nutrition and I’m excited about helping you reach your health and fitness goals, whilst educating you every step of the way!

When I was younger I spent so much time trawling through social media, for knowledge on dieting and fitness, falling into a continuous cycle of misleading advice, expense and frustration.

Although I was never overweight, I have been underweight, over trained and unhealthy in mind.

Then I met Kevin and I began weight training and found my true passion.

I realised I didn’t need to keep hating myself into health, doping hours of cardio or suffering to get results.

It is from here I developed a huge sense of purpose, self empowerment and confidence.

I knew I needed to help other people take ownership of their health and fitness, take out the guess work for them and provide them with the structure and accountability to get them to their goals in a healthy and sustainable fashion.

I work with clients who want to improve their relationship with food, self compassion and body composition through science based methods.

I am passionate about my own training, having found my own rhythm almost 6 years ago now I have never looked back and the obsession to progress and broaden my knowledge continues.

I believe immersing myself in all aspects of health and fitness through living a lifestyle fitting to what I teach has given me a massive advantage as a coach.

Through bodybuilding and the purpose and dedication it creates, I want to instil this in my clients through whatever niche it is that they discover is for them.

I am a firm believer that health starts from within through what we fuel our body with… mind and aesthetics follow as a bi product.

Im also a massive advocate of women reaching their full potential in a male dominated fitness industry and my main goal is to prove to you that you are capable and it is never too late or the wrong time to change, because after all that's where it starts for us all, the decision to try!
