Pure Results, Ireland’s premier weight loss and fitness retreat run by RTE’s Kathryn Thomas is heading back to the Kingdom this March for a limited time only.

Her seven day and four day residential retreats give clients the opportunity to switch off and completely focus on their health and well-being - with impressive weightless results to boot.

Classes such as boxercise, yoga, kettle bells and resistance bands are designed for men and women of all fitness levels, where age is but a number! Bookings for the bootcamps have been extremely high, prompting Kathryn to put on additional camps this year to cope with demand.

“We are delighted to be heading back to Parknasilla Resort and Spa for our March retreats, taking place between March 15 and 29,” Kathryn said.

“It is such an idyllic location for our clients to achieve incredible results just in time for summer. We have always had such great fun at our Kerry retreats and I can’t wait to welcome clients who might be looking to do something completely different over the St Patrick’s Bank Holiday - while losing a few pounds too!”

Parknasilla overlooks the Atlantic coast on 500 acres of tropical paradise along the Wild Atlantic Way and the Ring of Kerry. With miles of hiking trails, outdoor spaces and serene viewing points, the trainers are spoilt for choice when creating the clients energising class schedules. Day trips along the Old Kerry Way and to Derrynane beach are also a popular part of the weekly schedule.

As well as all exercise classes, life coaching, cooking demonstration and nutrition workshops, Pure Results clients can relax in the luxurious spa, including indoor heated pool, spa thermal suite, outdoor hot tubs and 12 treatment rooms.

Prices start from €529 for a four day retreat. For more about Pure Results fitness retreats visit www.PureResultsBootcamp.com. For more information on Parknasilla Resort & Spa visit www.parknasillaresort.com.

A meeting in Killarney has highlighted the opportunity for greater collaboration across counties to strengthen the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) talent pipeline in the South West.

Representatives from STEM South West met with Minister of State Michael Healy-Rae, Fearghal Reidy, CEO of Kerry County Council, and Patrick Doyle, Regional Manager of the IDA, to discuss how STEM education and industry can be supported and expanded across the region.
The STEM South West Leaders Dialogue, held at the Muckross Park Hotel, focused on how the sector can continue to grow despite challenges such as skills shortages, competitiveness, and housing pressures. Participants agreed that stronger cooperation between national and local government, education, and industry is essential.
The discussion emphasised the importance of developing a long-term strategy to attract and retain skilled workers, and to support local and multinational companies operating in STEM fields. Programmes such as the Adopt a School initiative and the annual STEM South West Careers Expo were highlighted as key ways to connect schools, students, and employers.
Minister Healy-Rae said:
“It is key that all young people are given the full opportunity to reach gainful, suitable employment. From electricians to engineers, we need to educate young people on the opportunities available to them.”
Mary Good, Managing Director of Advanced Medical Services and Chair of STEM South West, said the event showed strong support for more joint action across the South West.
“Ongoing collaboration across all sectors is key,” she said. “We are inviting Kerry and Cork schools and STEM companies to take part in our Adopt a School initiative and our Careers Expo on 20 November.”
Audience members also called for greater recognition of SMEs that play a vital role in regional employment and work closely with larger international companies.
STEM South West is a not-for-profit, industry-led cluster aimed at building the region’s capacity in science, technology, engineering and maths.
