Ep 65---

In this episode, Florence chats with Karolina, a fitness trainer who moved from Poland to Ireland in 2005 during the boom. She spent 17 years in Athlone working in retail before turning her passion for health and fitness into a career. A fresh start brought her to Boyle, where she now runs small group fitness classes and personal training at Results Gym.

Karolina shares her journey with us—from growing up in a remote Polish village to building a new life in Ireland, embracing the community here in Boyle, and helping people feel confident in fitness.

Listen now and reach out to Karolina if you'd like to learn more.

Ep 64---

Welcome to episode 64 of the Voices of Boyle.

Today’s guests? Mark Attwood and Gary Kealy, the brains behind Live 5D Health – Boyle’s only wellness and healing center.

How did they get here? It involves plot twists, chance encounters, and a shared obsession with health and wellness.

What’s inside Live Five D?

Think cutting-edge healing meets ancient wisdom.

We’re talking:
🔥 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (you've probably already heard about this)
💡 Red light therapy (basically, a spa day for your cells)
💦 Structured water
🧘‍♂️ Mind-body-spirit balance

So, if you’re curious about detoxing, natural healing, or why people are lying inside giant oxygen tents, you’re in for a treat.

Give it a listen. Get inspired. And maybe, just maybe, rethink everything you thought you knew about wellness.

Ep 60---

In this episode of Voices of Boyle, we sit down with Eamon Perry as he shares a few memories that paint a vivid picture of community life in Boyle through the years.

From the bustling local shops like Christy Wynne's and Keenan's, where summer ice creams became a cherished treat, to the biting cold of the "big snow" in 1947 that blocked doorways and halted trains, Eamon recounts the challenges and charms of his hometown with warmth and nostalgia.

Join us as Eamon reflects on the rich sporting legacy of Boyle, with tales of his uncle Paddy Perry's handball triumphs, and his own swimming accolades. He chats about the vibrant social scene of festivals, golf club gatherings, and the Catholic Club.

Facing personal and community changes over the decades, Eamon shares his hopes for Boyle's future development, emphasising the spirit that binds the town together.

Whether reminiscing about his youth in the streets of Termon or recalling career milestones and family life, Eamon's stories are sure to resonate with everyone.

Enjoy the episode and feel free to share it.
