we can achieve anything

Hello from Romana

  • Feel confident on the gym floor by showing up for yourself

  • Discover the true power of your body and build muscle with strength training

  • Connect deeper with your inner self through yoga, breathwork & mindfulness practices

  • Train and receive support from the Watermelon Warrior community whenever you feel the need 

What if you could finally find a way to prioritise your health and well-being once and for all? A way that eliminates all your blocks and reasons (aka excuses😉) and helps you strengthen your body and revitalise your spirit?

Strengthen, Ground & Reconnect is a bespoke online training programme that meets you exactly where you are and guides you with kindness and fun towards your goals. 

Say goodbye to anything that is holding you back—this programme is here to help you explore the infinite possibilities of your potential!

You know it is time to prioritise your health and fitness—you want to feel healthy and happy and, by doing so, unlock a world of energy, confidence and joy. But yet you listen to that nagging voice: "I don't have time/ I can't afford it/it's just not for me..." The list goes on.

I see you. I have been there, too, listening to my inner critic saying I am  not good enough or I don’t have what it takes.

I remember times when I felt so intimidated at the gym, thinking people were judging me. It felt like a place where I didn’t belong and where everyone just seemed so much stronger than me. But once I got support and gained knowledge, the confidence followed. I realised there was so much more I was able to achieve , and so can you!

I can promise you, from the  first session onwards, you'll start feeling more energetic  - the change is possible! You just need to take that first step!

What other warriors say

  • ''Romana is an amazing PT!! She really helped me challenge and overcome bad habits, motivating me to rethink my fitness and lifestyle. Her knowledge and positivity is extremely motivating and I now feel empowered to continue focusing on my fitness. I can highly recommend training with Romana''.

    - Joe Deplae 


  • ''I have been training with Romana for five months. During this time, I have reached my body composition goals and formed the most consistent exercise habit that I have had since playing competitive sport as a teenager. I feel more comfortable in my body than I have felt in years!''

    Mark O'Brien

  • ''After a stroke and heart surgery two years ago I really struggled physically and mentally. Health problems can really take their toll. I’ve felt weak and low, and often like my body was giving up on me. Now, on 9/9, I’m starting my 9th week on the WatermelonFitness programme! Honestly, I haven’t moved so consistently and continuously since I ended up in the hospital. honestly don’t know where I would be without Romana. She has helped me learn and understand the value of inner strength as well as cherish the treasure and miracle that is my body, in all its patched up glory.''

    -Palma

  • ''When all the world was shut down, and in chaos, Romana kept me in check. With her daily rooftop workouts, and then her highly personalized program, she has kept me fit for these months away from a gym and pool. She has always gone above and beyond for me - on hand to answer any questions, educating me on all aspects of fitness I didn't know about, and pushing me to safely break my limitation''.

    Eoin O'Flaherty

  • ''Romana is an amazing personal trainer, she really takes the time to understand your goals and helps you work towards them, she’s positive and friendly and knows when to push you, she’s also great fun and I really look forward to our sessions - I couldn’t recommend her more!

    -Beth Pilgrim

  • ''Romana started me on my fitness journey. The encouragement and support she gave me has stayed with me even when she moved to the U. K. The techniques she taught me gave me the confidence to continue weight training and to push myself beyond my comfort zone. Romana is a wonderful trainer with a fabulous personality! ''

    -Sile Reeves

  • ''I find Romana's training style very uplifting and encouraging. She makes me feel safe and strong and working out with her has given me a lasting sense of fitness and wellbeing. Thank you Romana!''

    -Judy Reeves

About me

Hi, I'm your coach Romana!

I am qualified as a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer at the Elite Performance and Fitness Academy and as a Yoga Teacher with Himalaya Yoga Valley.

My guiding principle is that we never stop finding ways to nurture our long-term health. When we work with our bodies and start to see our inherent limitless possibilities, we open ourselves to a realm of exciting new opportunities.

With a positive, passionate and determined mindset, I will guide you towards accomplishing your goals. We will build confidence, boost energy levels and increase our happiness. Are you ready to challenge yourself, set goals and look after your body?


✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • Ideally yes but we can also adapt the workouts to your home set up. Ideally you would have a kettlebell, a couple of dumbbells and some bands to start you off!

  • If you're working out at home you will need:

    Ideally x2 Dumbbells and x1 Kettlebell and bands are a plus.

    A mat for floor exercises and warm up. Comfortable clothing.

    I like cast iron Kettlebells like these ones 

    Here are adjustable Dumbbells

    If starting out, I would recommend 5kg Dumbbells

    Resistance bands set

    Resistance bands

  • You can access the workouts via the app True Coach. You can download that through the app store if you have an iPhone or Google Play on an Android. You can also access the True Coach platform through your browser. Safari, chrome etc. it’s a wonderful platform where you can write notes for each workout where the coach will be able to see what you’re doing and send you notes on it. You can also send private messages to your coach and add your goals and progress in as you go! A great way for me to witness your workouts, track your progress, increase weight when needed and reps etc. It’s a great platform!

  • No, you don’t have to but it’s best if you do so I will be able to see your form 😊 also great for you to film your movements and send them to me or to the group to make sure if you’re performing them correctly!

  • If you don’t have time to train or you’re unwell, that’s life! It happens. I highly recommend not worrying too much about it and getting back to it when you have the time. Progress is not linear. At Watermelon Fitness, we believe in following the natural cues your body gives you, we are all different. Depending on our cycles (if we menstruate), our stress levels, our sleep, our nutrition, we can feel stronger or less and it’s so important to listen to what our body is telling us.

  • Yes - I meet you where you are!

  • Yes, it is. 😊 As long as your doctor or physio is okay with it. Please only join the programme if you’re already 6 weeks post-partum.  

  • Yes. You will be doing the workouts on your own in your own time. Workouts will be added in on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but you can access them whenever you like. Ideally you would do the workouts at the gym but if you don’t have a gym membership, there are plenty of options that you can try at home.

  • Each week we will work on individual habits and intentions to improve our wellbeing. The journaling, meditation and intention setting will be a little check in with ourselves to see how it’s going. This will be around 8:45 / 9 am on Wednesday mornings but can also be done via email or google drive or this can be a private practice you do on your own if that’s your preference. There will be a chance to opt into a google drive sheet so everyone can see your weekly intentions.

  • The calls are so that we can check in with your progress and goals and where you can ask Romana any questions or advice about the programme. Calls are also for any feedback and new habits you would like to start for the next month of training ahead. Romana is always open and welcomes feedback because she wants you to have the best experience possible!  The coach will also take this opportunity to explain any changes in your programme or correct your form if you have sent in videos.

  • I believe that the combination of strength training and yoga is a winning one! With strength training we improve fitness, we strengthen the muscles and joints, we “futureproof” the body to ensure maximum health and longevity. Through yoga, we relax the nervous system, work on mobility and isometric movements, we practice flexibility, breath work and mindfulness and this will lend itself very well to the overall programme and will hopefully leave you feeling relax and ready for the day with some exercises you can sprinkle throughout the day if you’re feeling overwhelmed. It’s very rare to find a programme on the market that includes both yoga and strength and I really believe that the magic is in practicing both disciplines! Extra mobility moves will also be included in your workouts if one of your goals is to become more mobile of course 😊
