OUR STORY

Welcome to Four Oaks.

Troy and Cain (Gallagher) are brothers and co-founders of Four Oaks.

Troy is a professional boxer who has been boxing for 10+ years and has had a successful elite amateur career. In his earlier years Troy was football mad, very passionate and let's say, emotional. This is where his love for sports started, and also realised he wasn't a good loser. Along with this came fines for bookings, which he had to pay out of his own pocket (he's not let that go yet). After leaving primary school Troy decided he wanted to take his emotions elsewhere. This is where Troy found boxing and his true passion. Years of boxing training taught Troy to channel his emotions, and he learnt the freedom of expression. With his new found confidence and self control he realised that boxing was not just a sport but a discipline, that had changed his life forever.

Cain is a lover of discipline and a fitness enthusiast, training in CrossFit and Hyrox. Cain's love of sports also started at a young age after getting his first taste of victory. After only a couple of sessions at Kuk Sool Won, Cain was entered into his first tournament and won several medals. He then started playing football for his local football team, several years later after starting high school Cain fell out of love with football and stopped playing. Hobbyless he decided to start the Army Cadets which taught him valuable life skills and instilled into him, the art of discipline. In his later years of high school Cain started going to the gym with goals of gaining strength and muscle size, after many dedicated years this then turned into CrossFit and Hyrox training.

Their joint passion fueled love for fitness started them on a journey that changed their lives forever... 

So I bet you're wondering why Four Oaks?

Four Oaks is the name of our family home, where we grew up from a young age. This is where our journey begins. The name holds a special place in our hearts, so it was only fitting to use it for our brand as a reminder of where we came from, a brand born out of personal transformation and a desire to share that with the world.

With Both of us growing up having a passion for sports and competition, we both trained hard, but with hard training came injuries, setbacks, and an endless struggle to stay consistent in the gym. After much frustration and countless hours spent researching recovery methods and incorporating stretching routines, which helped partially but it still didn’t feel like we had found the perfect solution. Consistency remained elusive.

Then, one Christmas, fate stepped in. A lifelong family friend gifted us the Wim Hof Method book, and everything changed from that moment. It was the missing piece to our puzzle. The day we opened that book our cold water journey began, and in no time at all, we were able to train harder, recover faster, and avoid injury in ways we’d never experienced before. The benefits were clear and astonishing. 

But it became about more than just training. Daily cold plunges transformed our mindset. Starting the day by doing something uncomfortable gave us a mental edge that carried over into everything else we do. The physical and mental benefits were nothing short of life-changing, and soon we were sharing our experiences with friends and family.

After a couple of years, we realized that this wasn’t something we could keep to ourselves—it needed to be shared with everyone. And so, Four Oaks was born. We’ve made it our mission to help others experience the life-changing power of cold water therapy. Whether that be if you struggle with mental health, chronic pain/fatigue, heart & circulatory health, if you are hoping to speed up recovery in-between sessions or you may be wanting to improve your general health and energy levels. These are all fields in which you will get results by using cold water therapy!

So that brings us to where we are today, Four Oaks is proud to offer premium high quality crafted hot & cold therapy solutions designed to help you unlock your potential and improve your mental and physical health.
