Meet Josh Watson
The W was founded by Josh Watson with one simple goal – to create the kind of fitness facility he believed Wicklow deserved.
Having grown up in the local community, Josh wanted to build more than just a gym. He set out to create a welcoming space where people of all fitness levels could train, recover and become the best version of themselves.
Whether you’re taking your first steps into fitness, training for better health, or looking to push your performance further, Josh is passionate about helping every member achieve their goals in a supportive environment.
Qualifications
Josh holds a Diploma in Personal Training, providing an evidence-based understanding of exercise science, strength and conditioning, programme design and human movement. Every programme is tailored to help you train safely, move better and achieve sustainable, long-term results.
My Coaching Philosophy
My approach is built around sustainable progress, proper movement and enjoying the process. Fitness shouldn’t leave you exhausted every session – it should help you become stronger, healthier and more confident over time. Every programme is designed around your goals, your lifestyle and your ability, creating a positive training environment where consistency leads to lasting results.
Why I Started The W
Growing up in Wicklow, I wanted to create a modern gym and recovery space where people could prioritise both their physical health and mental wellbeing. By combining premium training facilities with recovery experiences such as the sauna, hot tub and cold dip, my goal is to help people train smarter, recover better and enjoy the journey along the way.
