Perform at
your best.
At work
and in life.

Success in one area of your life shouldn't come at the expense of another. Built For Both helps people improve their health, performance and wellbeing so they have more to give to their career, their relationships and themselves.

Success shouldn't cost you your health.

Life is demanding. Careers, businesses, families, relationships and everything else competing for your time can make your own health the easiest thing to neglect. But performing at a high level shouldn't mean running yourself into the ground. Built For Both is about building the physical health, mental resilience and habits that allow you to perform when it matters, while still having the energy and health to enjoy your life outside of work.

Two ways to work together.

Coaching built around your life

Most people don't struggle because they don't know they should exercise, eat better or look after themselves. The difficult part is doing it consistently alongside work, family, relationships and everything else life throws at you.

That's where my coaching comes in. We build an approach around you, your goals and the life you actually live, focusing on the areas that have the biggest impact on how you feel and perform: training, nutrition, mindset, recovery, habits and performance.

We work on what matters most right now, build it into your life, and then keep progressing from there. The goal is simple: to help you feel better, perform better and build a healthier way of living that lasts.

Practical support for teams in demanding environments

Built For Both helps employees develop the skills and habits to better manage their health alongside the pressures of work, improving areas such as stress, energy, movement, sleep and nutrition. The goal is simple: healthier employees who feel better, have more energy and are better equipped to perform at work and outside of it.

  • Structured wellbeing programmes

15 years of coaching. Built from experience.

I'm Darragh Gibbs, founder of Built For Both. I've spent the last 15 years coaching people to improve their health and performance, working across sport, personal training, lifestyle coaching and now workplace wellbeing.

I've also worked in investment banking, so I understand first-hand how easy it is for your health to take a back seat when work and life get busy.

Sport has always been a huge part of my life too. I have a degree in Sports Management and Coaching, earned my UEFA B Licence, have coached in football for years and continue to compete myself. I'm currently completing a Master's in Exercise & Sport Psychology, allowing me to bring even more of the mindset and psychology side of performance into my coaching.

All of those experiences have shaped how I coach today. I want to help people perform at a high level, while still having the health and energy to enjoy the rest of their life.

Life, health and how to perform at your best.

The Big Gibbon Show is where I share my thoughts, experiences and lessons around health, mindset, performance and life. I talk about the things I'm learning through coaching, sport, study and my own experiences, with the aim of helping people think differently, improve their health and get more out of life.
