The programme sees a group of people put on a rigid diet and exercise programme in a bid to lose weight. But behind the scenes, Dr Eva’s battle to re-educate people on health fitness is changing hundreds of people’s lives every day.
Orsmond Clinics has now opened its sixth clinic in Newbridge. Dr Eva believes that many medical conditions can be cured through lifestyle change — a major part of which is weight reduction. “We have a variety of calorie controlled diet plans that you can choose from,” she explained. “During your 12-week programme you can change between these diets plans, there are no set rules, but we will guide you along the way to help you achieve your goal.

Thu, Sep 09, 2010
Pagodas Temple martial arts centre was started by Chris Hickey, fourth degree dan black belt, the highest graded judo black belt in the west of Ireland. Hickey always wanted to have his own dojo (training centre) where he could pass his skill and knowledge on to others with a passion for the martial arts.
