New Unislim classes for Killarney

Published

Five years ago, Deirdre Hayes McCann opened her first Unislim class in Killorglin after losing two stone. Now, as she prepares to open her new class in Killarney, she shares her top tips for slimming success.

“I can safely say that joining Unislim was the best decision I have ever made. Starting off as a member, I lost two stone and I am so thrilled to be celebrating my fifth year at my target weight this year. I am living proof that this plan works for life.

“My top tip is to plan your meals in advance and cook in batches. Before joining Unislim, I was always “too busy” to cook from scratch, but once my weight loss became a priority I found the time. I always set aside a few hours for myself on a Sunday to batch cook for the week ahead. My family love chicken curry, lasagne, bolognese, casserole and soup, so by cooking in advance I take the stress out of my busy week ahead.

“With Unislim you can enjoy all of your favourite foods and still lose weight. There are over 500 free foods to choose from and you will never be hungry. No counting calories or weighing out portions and you can even enjoy your favourite treats like chocolate and wine. Since losing weight, I have more confidence than ever and I love knowing that my story can inspire others to reach their weight loss goals. I love my classes, I love my members, and I love my job.”

Deirdre’s brand new Unislim class opens in the Killarney Heights Hotel on Thursday, June 21 from 5.30pm–7pm to complement her morning class in the same venue from 7.30am–10.30am. For more details on Deirdre’s Killorglin and Caherciveen classes, or for the full listing of all Unislim classes, visit Unislim.com. Deirdre will be running a free to join offer from June 21-29 (just pay the €10 weekly fee).

A Tipperary woman is going to attempt to climb Carrauntoohil three times in one day to raise money for a sick child.

Nikita Conlon from Roscrea is a personal trainer and care assistant who has been working in health care for 18 years.

While working at the Milford Care Centre she met the family of Noah Quish. The six-year-old from Monaleen, Limerick was born with serious health issues ranging from a heart defect, severe laryngomalacia, severe sleep apnoea, scoliosis and chromosome deletion.

‘I worked in the Milford Care Centre for five years where I met Una Quish, Noah’s mam, so I felt the need to do something to help his family. I decided to set up this fundraiser.
“I plan to set off at midnight on Friday October 6, and hope to finish at 5 pm on Saturday.

“I have previously Climbed Kilimanjaro in February 2023 and raised over €6000 for the Dean Maxwell Nursing Home in Roscrea,” she said.

“My whole life I have felt the need to help others and now it’s time to help Noah and I need the support to help him.

“This challenge is not going to be easy but I am going to give it my all.

“I have experienced hikers coming along on the day.’

Her plan is to leave Cronin’s Yard at midnight and to return to the starting point at 4.30 am. She will restart at 5 am from the bottom of the Devil’s Ladder. By 10 am on Saturday she hopes to have started her third and final lap.
