Kelly Gaffney

General Manager

About me: I qualified in sport & leisure management and started my career as a gym instructor. From there I gained vast experience in fitness and added more fitness & leisure qualifications to keep abreast with an ever changing sector. I work for Holohan Leisure since 2006 & from there I followed the management path from a young age while keeping my focus still on the gym floor and teaching classes. I studied HR and came into senior management in 2013 and have managed two Holohan sites in Drogheda & Donegal.

Fitness is my passion and leading my team to achieve the goals of others really fuels my love for this industry

I play ladies GAA and I have captained my team to past success. I like to run and have completed three Dublin city marathons.

Interesting fact: I nearly drowned three different times as a child and somehow I got back into the water where I now train lifeguards. Moral of that story is “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!”
