Supporting Local Strength: Meet Daniel Caillaux

At Healthy Living Athy, we’re proud to support local talent making a big impact - and few embody dedication and discipline quite like Daniel Caillaux, an international-level powerlifter from Athy, County Kildare.

In just two short years, Daniel has risen to the top of his sport, becoming a two-time national champion and setting the Irish squat record at 153kg in the sub-junior U59kg weight class. His hard work and determination have taken him far beyond the local gym, earning him a place on Team Éire and a bronze medal at the 2025 European Bench Press Championships in Malta.

Building Strength - Inside and Out

Daniel’s journey began with inspiration from other Irish athletes online, but it’s his self-motivation and consistency that truly define him. Every lift, every session, and every day of preparation is a reflection of his belief that success is built through discipline.

For Daniel, training isn’t just about physical power - it’s about mental strength, personal growth, and balance. “Powerlifting has taught me so much about patience and focus,” he says. “It’s not just a sport - it’s a way of life.”

Fueling Performance with the Right Nutrition

Behind every record-breaking lift is the right nutrition and recovery strategy. Daniel takes his fueling seriously, knowing that proper supplementation, hydration, and diet are essential to reach peak performance and stay healthy through demanding training cycles.

That’s where Healthy Living Athy comes in - providing high-quality nutrition, supplements, and advice to help Daniel stay at his best as he represents Ireland on the international stage.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Daniel’s mission goes beyond medals. He hopes to inspire others in the community - young athletes, beginners, and anyone working toward self-improvement - to believe in themselves and their potential.

I want to show that you can start from nothing and achieve great things with hard work and dedication says Daniel.

As Daniel continues preparing for upcoming international competitions, we’re proud to stand behind him as a Healthy Living Athy Athlete, supporting his journey every step of the way.
