Howling Heart Fitness

Formed in 2017, Howling Heart Fitness is the brainchild of Eithne Harte and Kieran Howlin.

Together, the plan was simple: create a community with a gym in the middle of Clonakilty (the old train station!) that could offer people a safe, secure, enjoyable place to work out. We want you to be able to release stress in the gym and not get stressed. Relax. Have fun. Workout, to become the best version of yourself.

Our commitment to charity

We also look to put our effort into helping those outside of our Clonakilty gym. To do that, we regularly run charitable fundraisers for local and national efforts that we wish to contribute towards. Each time, we pick a new reasoning or purpose for the charitable donation, but we raise funds by undertaking extreme workouts in exchange for donations.

We are very proud to know that, as a Clonakilty gym, we give back to our community. Not only do we help our members to become better, but we look to contribute as much as we can to the wider society that we inhabit. For that reason, then, our commitments to charity and to consistent, safe exercise go hand-in-hand.

Put simply, we want to make life better for as many people as we can. Through a combination of functional movement exercises, suitable memberships, and high-end services tailored to your needs, we look to offer you everything that we can to ensure your success is likely to become a habit.

Annual Howling Heart Fitness Charity Day

Hi everyone, Howling Heart Fitness will doing their annual charity day on Saturday the 4th of July but this year because of the increasing numbers of infections, we are going to go online for donations.  

This year we are raising funds for the West Cork Animal Welfare Group and Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland who do so much great work but both rely heavily on charity. 

We are going to try some crazy activities like individuals doing 1000 burpees, the burpee mile, marathon rows, 1000 weighted box step-ups, a long endurance workout called “Murph”, marathon SkiErg, machine Ironman and more. 

We would be so grateful for anything you could spare, our members will be putting in a massive effort for the cause too.
