Build strength. Feel confident. Take control.
Coaching for adults 35–65 who are done starting over. Personalised. Weekly. Built around your real life.
You’ve started before. So why are you back here?
You joined the gym. You showed up. You were ready. But then you walked in and had no idea what to do, so you stuck to the treadmill. Every session. For months. And nothing really changed.
Or someone handed you a generic programme. Nobody explained it. Nobody checked in. And when your back started aching or your knees started complaining, there was no one to ask.
Or life took over, a demanding job, the kids, the family, and training was the first thing to go. Or you started strong, felt good the first few weeks, and then motivation disappeared. Because there was nobody there when it got hard.
You didn’t fail. The support wasn’t there. People between 35 and 65 don’t need more effort. They need the right strategy, built around their body, their health, and their real life, with someone who actually shows up every single week. You’re in the right place. Keep reading.
What most coaches get wrong about people over 35
And on top of that, a demanding career, a family that needs you, a schedule that leaves almost no room for anything else. But here’s what nobody tells you when you walk into a gym for the first time, or the fifth time, or after years away: Nobody is coming to help you.
The equipment is there. The machines are there. But the guidance isn’t. You figure out the treadmill because it’s safe. You avoid the weights because nobody showed you how. You show up for a few weeks, feel lost, and quietly stop.
And when life gets hard, week 6, brutal week at work, kids sick, motivation gone, there’s no one checking in. No one adjusting. No one saying keep going, here’s what we do now. It’s not that nobody cared. It’s that the system wasn’t built for you.
"You talk. I listen. I adapt. That’s the difference between a programme and a coach."
Every week I look at what’s actually happening in your body and your life, and I adjust. Your back pain, your stiffness, your energy levels, your schedule, your progress. But here’s the thing, I can’t guess. Nobody can. What I can do is build a system where you never have to figure out how to tell me. The check-ins, the app, the video notes, they exist so that when your back flares up on a Thursday, when work was relentless, when you missed two sessions because life happened, I already know. And I already adjusted.
How the Vidal Method works
It’s not magic. It’s not motivation. It’s strategy + constant presence. The system is the same across all three programmes. What changes is how close I am to you.
Every start of the week
You receive your personalised training based on your feedback from the previous week. Not a copy-paste. Not a template. Built around what your body actually told us, your energy, your pain, your progress, your life.
During the week
You train following the programme. Log your weights, how you felt, any stiffness, pain, or questions, all in the app. Nothing gets ignored. Nothing disappears into a group chat.
Across all three programmes
I review everything. Record you a personal video note on WhatsApp, your progress, your adjustments, what’s coming next week. Not a template message. Not a group broadcast. A video made for you, about you. Then I adjust your programme and build next week.
Across all three programmes
Online: the full system, delivered remotely. Hybrid Coaching: everything above plus one in-person session per week at Gym Plus Naas. 1-on-1 Personal Training: every session live, in person, fully coached, the check-in system still runs in the background.
Across all three programmes
You fill out your check-in. Weights used, progress, honest feedback. “Made it 3x this week.” “Back was tight on Thursday.” “Missed two sessions, the kids were sick.” All of it matters. All of it gets addressed. This is where you talk. This is where I listen.
"That’s how I know exactly what your body needs, whether it’s rebuilding strength you’ve lost, restoring flexibility that’s been gone for years, or managing pain that no one has taken seriously. It’s not guesswork. It’s applied science with a real person behind it. And the key to all of it? You show up and communicate. I do the rest. You are never alone."
Who this is for
Coaching is built for a specific kind of person. See if that’s you.
This is for you if:
- You’re between 35 and 65 years old
- You’ve decided that you are a priority, and you’re ready to make time for it
- You feel something has to change, with or without a doctor’s push
- You have back pain, joint stiffness, or old injuries that generic programmes always ignore
- You’ve started and stopped before, and this time you want the support to actually finish
- You’ve started and stopped before, and this time you want the support to actually finish
- You have a demanding job, a full family life, or both, and you’re done letting training be the first thing that gets cut
- You’re ready to commit to the process, not just the idea of it
This is NOT for you if:
- You’re not willing to train at least 3 days a week
- You want a quick fix or a 30-day transformation
- You’re not interested in real, solid, lasting results
- You don’t want to change your health, just your appearance
- You don’t want to change your health, just your appearance

The Vidal Method grows with you
And here’s something most coaches won’t tell you: your programme doesn’t have to stay the same forever. Most clients evolve. And that’s exactly the point.
Start with 1-on-1
Learn to move properly, build your foundation, get strong under supervision. Every rep coached, every movement corrected until you’re ready for more independence.
Step into Hybrid
Keep one in-person session a week while you grow your independence. The rest of the week you train alone, but never without a plan and never without support.
Move to Online
Train anywhere in the world with a coach still in your corner every single week. Same system, full flexibility, no fixed session times.
Or go the other way
Start Online, build the habit, then add in-person sessions when you’re ready for more. There’s no wrong path. There’s only the one that fits where you are right now, and the one that fits where you’re going next.
The Vidal Method grows with you.

“I was going to the gym 5 or 6 times a week for a couple of months and seeing little progress. In the 4 months since working with Patricia I have lost 10kg, 2 inches off my waist, and most importantly, gotten my high blood pressure under control and back to normal levels. Would highly recommend Patricia.”
Kevin Moore, Ireland
“She worked with me over two years, not just showing me exercises, but teaching me the correct form and getting me to understand the process. I have just turned 70 and I love going to the gym three times a week and swimming three times a week as well.”
Kevin Moore, Ireland
“My posture has developed greatly and I’ve overcome all back pain. I was able to participate in Ireland’s Fittest Family and reach the semifinals, Patricia’s training was a huge reason for that success. I recommend her highly.”

Who will coach you
Patricia Vidal, Performance Coach based in Every session, Ireland
Every session, Ireland
"Hiya! I’m Patricia Vidal, Performance Coach based in Every session, Ireland. My mission is simple: help people between 35 and 65 build strength, feel confident, and take control of their fitness journey, especially those who need guidance every step of the way."
I’m originally from São Paulo, Brazil, and I’ve been living in Ireland for 9 years. I hold a 4-year Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education with specialisation in Sports Training. I’m a mum of two, so I know firsthand what it means to have a completely full life and still try to make training happen. I get it. Not as a talking point. As a lived reality.
Why I’m different
Before moving to Ireland, I spent 5 years working as a Personal Trainer inside a sports performance clinic in Brazil, alongside doctors, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and psychologists. That experience changed how I see people forever. A person is never just a body that needs to move more. They are a single unit, physical, mental, nutritional, emotional. Everything is connected.
On one side: marathoners, triathletes, and half-marathoners, my job was to help them improve their times, build the strength their sport demanded, and keep them injury-free. On the other side: people coming back from knee injuries, hip pain, and chronic back pain that had been ignored for years, working hand in hand with the medical team around them until movement stopped being something they feared and became something they owned.
If you already work with a physiotherapist, a nutritionist, or a doctor, I know how to work alongside them, not against them. If you don’t, I bring that same multidisciplinary thinking to every programme I build. Your back pain, your energy levels, your stress, your sleep, your nutrition. All of it considered. All of it addressed.
In 16 years of experience, I’ve helped clients:
In Online: every week, 30 minutes just for us, to check in, adjust, and keep you moving forward. In-person (Hybrid & 1-on-1): you see me live, get real-time corrections, and leave every session knowing exactly what you’re doing and why.
Is it worth it?
Let’s be honest about what you’ve already spent, in time, in failed attempts, in programmes that promised everything and delivered nothing. Most people wait. They tell themselves they’ll start when life gets quieter. That moment rarely comes. While they wait, the tablets multiply, the GP visits become routine, the prescriptions stack up. That bill never stops growing until something changes.
This is what you get with every programme:
- • A plan built around your body, not a template
- • A coach who adjusts every single week based on what your life and your body are actually doing
- • A personal video note every week so you always know where you stand and what’s coming next
- • Direct access to someone with 16 years of experience and 5 years inside a multidisciplinary sports clinic
Three different formats. Same standard.
- • Online from €150/month, for those anywhere in the world who want a real coach in their corner every single week
- • Hybrid Coaching from €280/month, for those in Naas who want in-person sessions combined with full online support
- • 1-on-1 Personal Training from €440/month, for those who want every session fully coached, every rep corrected
- • It’s still time to make a change. And that time is now.
The question was never whether you can afford it. The question is whether you can afford another year of the same.
