Pure Results returns to Parknasilla Resort & Spa
&
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.

Camera Club exhibition opens at Killarney House
Killarney Camera Club’s 25th anniversary exhibition is open to the public at Killarney House until Sunday, October 4.
Mayor of Killarney Councillor John O’Donoghue officially opened the event, which features a wide range of work from local photographers capturing landscapes, people, and moments from home and abroad.
Speaking at the opening, Mayor O’Donoghue highlighted the rich natural surroundings available to local photographers. “We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the world, with dramatic mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, and a vibrant town centre, as well as beaches and open sea just a short distance away,” he said.
In a lighthearted admission, the Mayor admitted to storing hundreds of photos on his phone, adding that seeing the standard of work on display inspired him “to finally print some of my own photographs for posterity.”
The club was founded in 2001 as the Photographic Society of Killarney at the Park Place Hotel before adopting its current name in 2006. Founding member Seamus Long recalled starting with just eight members, contrasting it with today’s membership of over 30 photographers who meet at the ANAM Arts and Cultural Centre.
“There is nothing better than seeing your images in print, mounted and framed and hanging on a wall,” Mr Long said, referencing the club’s shift from traditional darkrooms to modern digital photography.
To mark the anniversary, the club has published a commemorative booklet featuring 25 select images from members past and present. The limited-edition booklet is available at Eason’s and directly from the club.
The exhibition runs daily at Killarney House until October 4. Admission is free and all are welcome.
