Kevin O'Donoghue, founder of Fresh Start Wellness

Fresh Start Wellness was created by Kevin O'Donoghue to help people reset their health, energy, mindset and motivation through simple, practical changes that can be applied to everyday life.

Kevin's approach is built on more than theory. It comes from decades of personal experience, discipline, coaching and overcoming challenges that would have stopped many people in their tracks.

From a young age, Kevin faced significant health challenges, including severe breathing difficulties, asthma and later COPD. Rather than allowing these challenges to define him, he spent his life learning how to strengthen his body, develop resilience and find practical ways to improve health and wellbeing.

Kevin is a former world record holder, having completed 70,805 sit-ups in 24 hours, demonstrating extraordinary physical endurance, mental strength and commitment. This achievement was not simply about fitness. It was the result of years of discipline, preparation, mindset and the belief that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when they develop the right habits.

Throughout his life, Kevin has worked as a coach, mentor, martial arts instructor, music teacher and motivational speaker. He achieved his first black belt within 12 months, later progressing to 4th Dan, developed self-protection programs and spent many years helping others build confidence, discipline and personal strength.

Kevin has also experienced the need to rebuild from setbacks. After a serious injury in 2016 left him facing major changes in his life and work, he had to start again, adapt and create a new future. This personal experience shaped his understanding that transformation is not about perfection. It is about making small, consistent choices that move you forward.

Through Fresh Start Wellness, Kevin brings together the lessons he has learned from decades of coaching and personal experience. His practical approach combines movement, music, nutrition, mindset, sleep, daily habits and wellbeing strategies to help people regain energy, confidence and control over their health.

Kevin believes that true health transformation is not about extreme routines or quick fixes. It is about understanding your body, strengthening your mindset and creating simple habits that can be maintained for life.

Fresh Start Wellness is for people who feel tired, stressed, stuck or disconnected from their own wellbeing and know they are ready for change.
