Your Hitsona, Drogheda Coaches
Antonello Schirru
Co-Owner of Hitsona Drogheda, I’m originally from Italy and ’ve been living in Ireland since 2009.
For more than a decade, I ran a busy coffee shop. Like many people, I spent years working long hours, dealing with stress, and putting my own health to the side. Over time, that lifestyle started to affect me both physically and mentally. Also dealing with old unresolved physical issues that left me inactive for way too long, with low energy and struggling with my weight. I decided I had had enough. I went through three surgeries and finally addressed my injuries and a major turning point for me. I had to rebuild my health properly, not just for fitness, but for my overall quality of life. I slowly got back into exercise and step by step, I became stronger, healthier, and more energetic than I had felt in years. That journey completely changed my perspective. Now, my goal is to help other people who feel stuck, tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their health. I know what it’s like to juggle work, stress, injuries, and everyday life pressures, and I also know how powerful it feels to take control back.
At Hitsona, the focus is not just on workouts. It’s about creating a supportive environment where people can improve their health, build confidence, reduce stress, and feel better in everyday life.
Danilo Fabris
I’m a 39 years old proud dad of two amazing kids and happily married. I’m a positive and easy going person who enjoys helping others and building good connections with people.
I am the Co-Owner of Hitsona Drogheda and I’m excited about this new role because it gives me the opportunity to help people become healthier, happier, and more confident in their daily lives. I believe in bringing good energy, honesty, and care into everything I do, both personally and professionally.
Family, health, and helping others are very important to me, and I’m grateful to be part of a journey that can make a real difference in people’s lives.
Gisele Puozzo
I’m passionate about helping ordinary people feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in themselves — not through intimidation or extremes, but through support, encouragement, and sustainable habits that actually fit real life.
My background includes Pilates, Personal Training, and Nutrition, alongside a post-graduate degree in Neuroscience & Mindfulness. I’m currently furthering my knowledge in Corrective Exercise because I genuinely love learning and constantly improving as a coach. For me, great coaching is about understanding people just as much as understanding movement.
At Hitsona, I love creating sessions where people feel welcomed, supported, and proud of themselves — whether they’re completely new to exercise or rediscovering their confidence after years away from fitness.
Outside of the studio, you’ll usually find me outdoors hiking, exploring nature, drinking far too much coffee, or stopping to say hello to every dog and cat I meet along the way.

3 Great Locations for Outdoor Exercise in Drogheda
Boyne Greenway & Boardwalk
Starting at Dominic’s Park on the southern bank of the River Boyne, near the Peace Bridge in Drogheda, the Boyne Greenway offers a scenic route along the river. The path takes you close to the Mary McAleese Cable Bridge and follows the Boyne Canal, leading to the historic Battle of the Boyne Visitor Centre at Oldbridge. Stretching approximately 4.5 km, this greenway provides beautiful riverside views for walkers and cyclists alike.
The route incorporates boardwalk sections, creating a seamless connection between Drogheda’s town centre and the Oldbridge Estate. Along the way, you’ll find interpretive heritage signs that share fascinating stories from Irish mythology, focusing on the Boyne Valley. Once at the Oldbridge Estate, visitors can explore several self-guided walking trails through the parklands at the Battle of the Boyne site.
Townley Hall Wood
Townley Hall Wood was part of Townley Hall Estate which was owned by the Balfour family. The Balfours built Townley Hall House (not open to the public) together with the little lodge and entrance gate which were part of the overall architectural design. At Townley Hall the River Boyne forms the boundary between counties Meath and Louth while just upstream in the bend in the river lie the tumuli of Dowth, New Grange and Knowth which collectively form Bru na Boinne. History clusters around the area, human activity is shown to go back 6000 years. Close by is the site of the Battle of the Boyne, where a battle for the control of the English Crown took place in 1690. Townley Hall Wood provides the opportunity for invigorating walks through its gently rolling wooded landscapes, and offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape.
The woodland consists mainly of broadleaves with a few scattered conifers. The wood is a relic of planting by the Balfour family some 150-200 years ago. Main species include old oak, beech, ash, sycamore, European silver fir and Scots pine. Other flora includes blackthorn, holly, hazel, elder, ground ivy, briar and broadleaf woodland flowers.
