So the big announcement was the thing that Niamh told us it was going to be..... I’m genuinely confused 🤔 or am I missing something?

I think doesn’t actually look that professional for a big launch! Considering she’s engaged a marketing company???

I did a double shift yesterday and like you wondered had I missed it or in my tiredness misunderstood it? So what was launched ? I still don’t know .
 
Ok from what I can see of it it is Monday Club but happening on any day of the week. A bit confusing but I take it to mean "start the week off right with the Monday club and keep up the positivity all week." I like that.
I like that there are three instructors convering dance, pilates and aerobics/total body. Also the meditation.
I have seen no evidence of 80s music but lots of 80s clothes. So it is just a way for Niamh to create funky 80s inspired fitness outfits.
Energy and colour seems to draw people in. Brill! Will people be willing to pay for it though?
 
I think it's all very self-indulgent. She had an 80's themed party a few years ago and did an aerobics style workout at it. For so long afterwards she posted throwbacks to it - I think there was a moment where she jumped into the group and 'crowd-surfed'. I get the impression that adulation and attention are things that she loves and craves, and wanted to have that feeling again. She's always making a point of saying everyone is her best friend and over-sharing times when she does something nice for someone. She seems to need everyone to love her. To me the Monday Club comes across as an extension of all of this, and is more an excuse for her to dress up and be admired than to actually help people with their fitness goals. Maeve Madden comes across so much more sincere in her delivery and although it is a business her intentions in setting it up were much more honest and selfless. She was doing workouts 6 days a week for 6 months for free. I don't see Niamh having the drive and motivation to keep this going because I think she has set it up for all the wrong reasons.

This is very well said. I do feel that the monday club is all leading back to that one house party where she did the aerobics class and crowd surfed. I had a look and it just appears to be 80s clothes and not 80s music which im confused by? i thought it would be part of the theme. One of the girls on ward yesterday said she did the workout at the weekend and that she couldnt hear her at all the music was too loud and she moved really quickly and she couldnt keep up- that she didnt explain it very well. She said she felt no one would pay for it that it would need to be much improved...! I didnt see it or watch it .. so just that girls feedback is all ive heard about it.
 
Here we go with the ‘Merch’. Give me strength. Niamh grow up. I agree with the above comment about needing everyone to like her. She is massively cringe. She got flowers the other day & the card was from your solid seven. Adults don’t need to act like that. People sign their names to cards if the friendship is genuine. She really is such a silly person. This venture will fail.

Far too soon to start peddling merch. She hasn't even given the brand time to grow. Between her haul the other week for what she intends to wear when giving the classes and then bringing out merchandise it seems there is more empahsis on the clothing aspect than actual fitness. I feel anyone who is serious about getting into shape is going to be massively ripped off.

Just had a look at one of the workouts on Niamh's page. No introduction to any of the exercises, just launches into it and you can barely hear her over the music. If I was new to the fitness game I would be very disheartened with the whole experience and put off by the lack of instruction.

It’s all about how Niamh looks & how much money Niamh can make. That’s the whole premise of Monday Club. She couldn’t care less about the fitness goals of anyone. She wants the easy money 💰

She has literally robbed the whole idea of Monday club from an Australian company called retro sweat 🙈

And maeve madden. She does moves all wrong, her form is so off. You should not be buckling knees when doing lunges or wiggling hips from side to side doing shoulder planks. She is going to cause someone an injury. Also why is she exercising with her phone in her hand, she's embarrassing.

Have been a Physio for years, also have my level 3 PT. She would want to be careful genuinely. Not surprised she's struggling with her hamstring. If a lay person was performing moves like her I'd be worried but she's actually charging people.

I'm a member of maeves workouts, would highly recommend. She focuses so much on form, beginner moves and not looking pretty but doing moves properly. At the end of her workout yesterday she spoke about miamh for a solid 5 mins, how upset she was she was copying her style, including moves and phrases she uses. But nothing she could do and she just wants to now focus on herself as no point wasiting energy on her. She said she blocked her on everything so she didn't have to see. It's crazy how much Niamh tries to emulate Maeve but is failing miserably. Tray tray coll col also works for Maeve, she does a workout on her website for her.

Surprised she addressed it but definitely right to.. it’s a complete copy and don’t blame her for being annoyed

I don’t see how it’s copying either? I mean there are dozens of people doing the same thing. I don’t get the whole 80s things at all but I wouldn’t say Niamh’s directly copying Maeve. What did Maeve say about it I didn’t see?

Maeve only addressed it on her private website. The website layout is the same, she uses many of the same songs. She uses many of the same moves even using the same names maeve made up jokingly about dance moves. The format of the workout is the same. The names shes coined for the workouts are very similar. She even said "come on queens" at one point. Her whole thing is a poor man's copy of maeve madden Queens don't quit.

Just had a look at Maeves insta and don't get how Niamh is copying her? Hadn't heard of Maeve before so maybe I am missing something.

Maeve has a website for workouts called queens don't quit. Niamhs workout format is the exact same style.
