    I have been training with Matt for over two years and in that time I have slowly reclaimed my strength and love of group training, which had been depleted. Matt and his colleague, Aoife are *consistently* professional, encouraging and provide first class instruction. The training programmes are well-designed and thought through: you will progressively gain strength and fitness without getting injured. The added bonus is that the entire community is very supportive and classes here are good fun. It's a great place to train and have a laugh while doing so. Highly recommend!

    I have been a member of the Factory gym for over 4months now. From the very first meeting with Matt it has been an absolutely brilliant experience! The coaching, training sessions and support are the best I’ve ever experienced! It’s a fabulous place to go! It’s a real community almost a family really 🙌🏻 I never don’t want to go! The sessions are tailored to you even within a class and you feel like you are challenged but not pushed and that your progress matters as much to Matt & Aoife as it does to you! I couldn’t recommend this gym highly enough in fact I think everyone should have a gym like this 🙌🏻 It is also great fun and there’s always a laugh which is really one of its highlights 🙌🏻

    Matt, Aoife and team are absolute first-rate coaches. Always with the best interests of the members at The Factory in mind, the improvements in overall health, fitness and well-being are unquestionable. Without a doubt this is one of the finest facilities and community-based fitness operations in the country. Highly recommended.

    Best decision I ever made. I’ve been a member for 2 months now and I feel amazing. The classes are brilliant. The coaches Matt and Aoife are the nicest people, always smiling and so friendly. They care about each member and I love that about The Factory!

    I have been training at The Factory for over 3 months now and to say that it has changed me for the better is an understatement. I am eating healthier, training more and sleeping a lot better since I started. The sessions are made a lot easier with the people involved and that includes the Coaches, who are always there to guide you on best practice while at the same time tailoring the exercises to suit you. I would highly recommend The Factory to anyone who wants to take that next step to a more sustainable and enjoyable way of training.

    Joining The Factory has been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. The coaching team are supportive and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure you are getting the most from every training session. The vibe in the gym is relaxed and positive and it’s a fun place to be!

    Brilliant gym, very unassuming yet well equipped. The trainers are amazing, really good at keeping up with individual interests, capabilities and progress. The other people there are friendly and there's a very relaxed vibe. If you want personalised training and you are like me and can't motivate yourself, this is the right place. I look forward to each session and I feel much stronger and energised after just a few months there!

    If you are looking for a fun, enjoyable, challenging workout and most of all welcoming gym, then look no further than Factory Fitness. Matt and Aoife are top class coaches who ensure your safety but put you through a great hours workout.

  • 5/5 Diarmaid C. 1 year ago on Google
    Joined the Factory with the hope of getting a bit of activity in my life . Lose a belly and get some energy back, as I had been non active for years. Roll on 15 months, I am now fitter than I can ever remember, doing new sports that I never imagined I’d do, again, on the back of the Factory. Matt and Sorcha are a pleasure to know. Thumbs up to Aoife as well. They really have your best interest at heart. There are no ego’s in this gym. Everyone I have met since joining has the same ethos, to better themselves and help people around them. Can’t recommend it enough. If you’re the type of person who feels intimidated joining new gyms or classes - Don’t be -The factory is very welcoming, whether you’re into fitness or just a beginner, as I was . Will never look back.

  • 5/5 Colm D. 8 months ago on Google
    Fantastic gym with super trainers and programmes . I am just returning to training after a serious leg injury . Only 2 months into the journey but can already feel the improvements . Brilliant supportive atmosphere at every session. Would highly recommend joining up 👍

  • 5/5 Irene H. 1 year ago on Google
    I joined Jan 2023 I am really enjoying the format. Personal training within the group dynamic. The trainers are amazing Attention to detail, Amazing positivity and knowledge. I am able to go at my own pace and strength while building up fitness and improved function. Highly recommend Irene

  • 5/5 Faye M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing gym with the best atmosphere. I’ve never felt out of place and the coaches are always so welcoming alongside the other members! Everything is always thoroughly explained and each class is such a great learning experience. The coaches are the best motivators. I look forward to every class 🏋️‍♀️ 😎

  • 5/5 Paul H. 1 year ago on Google
    Matt, Aoife and the team are very friendly and approachable while also being meticulous in their approach to getting you fit and achieving your personal goals. The facilities are excellent and the other members are supportive and welcoming, we all had our first day in the gym and I can say I was made to feel one of the crew from that day. I highly recommend reaching out to Matt if you want friendly, professional training.

  • 5/5 Adele W. 1 year ago on Google
    I am almost 4 years with Matt at the team at the Factory. Their knowledge and guidance has helped me stay strong enough to handle the training needed to finish 4 sub 3 hour marathons in that time. What it also gives me however is the comfort of knowing I'm doing all I can to maintain/increase muscle mass and mobility as I edge ever closer to the half century mark! I would highly recommend The Factory to anyone that wants to take their strength and fitness to another level, but that also wants to live as old as they can, in the best physical condition they can! Plus, it's a shed-load of fun in there! The connections you make there are also a key component to a happy life down the line!

  • 5/5 Anita D. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been going to The Factory for 3 months now and I absolutely love it! It has completely changed my attitude towards fitness and I have noticed a massive difference in my strength and mobility! The trainers and coaches are so welcoming and really help you to feel at ease! Would highly recommend The Factory if you're considering starting a fitness journey.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 1 year ago on Google
    I joined The Factory about a year ago and it has been fantastic! Matt and Aoife are excellent coaches and so professional, always keeping a close eye on you and making sure you’re lifting properly and safely. The motivation and enthusiasm the coaches show is unreal. There is always an excellent atmosphere in every class. Everyone is so friendly and while everyone gets the work done there is always time for a laugh ! I would highly recommend The Factory as a place to train.

  • 5/5 Amy C. 1 year ago on Google
    The second I walked through the door I was welcomed by everyone into the factory family. The atmosphere is amazing and the classes are so much fun, the social aspect alone is worth coming every night. Matt is one of the best coaches around and gives you all the help you need to make improvements every single session, whether your a beginner or a sports competitor you will be hooked the second you start. I can’t recommend this gym enough 🤩💪🏻

  • 5/5 Adrian C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly and welcoming gym. Great care is taken to explain each exercise before and coach during the structured workouts. Everyday is a different challenge! Great overall strength and conditioning development slowly over time without risk of injury 👍🏼

  • 5/5 Claire S. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Truly amazing gym with exceptional facilities & coaches who truly care, motivate and are passionate about helping you progress at your own pace. As someone who had never set foot in a gym before I was a bit apprehensive but from the moment I spoke to Matt he put me at ease. Matt has really created an awesome atmosphere in his gym. The Factory has a really supportive & welcoming group of people and every single class is enjoyable. All the coaches are warm and welcoming with expert knowledge. Special mention to Aoife who is just top class and brings so much energy and enthusiasm to each class. The difference in my strength and fitness in a short time is amazing and I've enjoyed every session along the way. Highly recommend reaching out to Matt and joining this supportive and fun community!

    I have been training with Matt and the team for almost 4 months now. Came into it not sure of what to expect as I hadn’t ever done that type of training before but I’m so glad I took it up. There is an excellent atmosphere in the gym, everyone is very friendly and you are also constantly learning different movements and techniques. It doesn’t matter what level you are at in your training, everyone is welcome. I couldn’t recommend training at the factory enough to anyone looking to start.

  • 5/5 Karen F. 8 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I began one-to-one training in the Factory 5 months ago. I started off with very little fitness & didn’t know where to start, but I knew I wanted to feel stronger. I was hesitant about joining a gym/going to group classes in case I’d give up after a few weeks or not feel able for some of the exercises, but all of the sessions at the Factory are pitched at my level or adapted for me, while still being challenging. I’ve never come away from a session feeling like I couldn’t do it, and I’m feeling stronger & more confident in my ability. The coaches are very encouraging & I’m really enjoying it. I would highly recommend The Factory!!

  • 5/5 Ian B. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Have been training with Matt & factory fitness for 3 months now! The gym and all the trainers are fantastic! Have improved my fitness and strength hugely while minding a couple injuries at the same time! They design training programs specifically for me which is amazing! Couldn’t recommend this gym highly enough!

  • 5/5 L 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Great gym with a fantastic team of coaches. The facilities are excellent and the coaches are really knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Matt, Aoife & Callan are so welcoming and they help you progress at your own pace. The group classes have a great atmosphere and newcomers are really welcomed. Highly recommend👍

    A Fantastic gym, I have been here for 7 months and it has been amazing. I look forward to coming in and I am enjoying the workouts! There is such a friendly and positive atmosphere when you walk in the doors. The coaches are excellent, so knowledgeable and helpful.

    I could not be more obsessed with the factory if I tried! Matt and the coaches are top class and although I was a confident gym goer prior to joining, everyday is still a school day in here. Every single day you are guaranteed to be pushed to become better both physically and mentally. But you can be sure you will laugh your way through also, as the vibes here are unmatched! Yes, the coaching here is top class and you can be sure that your growth is very important to the team but the factory is also much more than just a gym. It’s a very special community or dysfunctional family you could say. It starts as a gym class you go to in the evenings/mornings and quickly becomes the best hour of your day. I can honestly say I am being pushed to be the best I can be with regards to strength and fitness but have also made countless friends for life.

👍👍 By far the best gym in Kilkenny. Been a member over 6 months now and can't recommend them enough. Owners go above and beyond the call of duty, great atmosphere and plenty of equipment for all training levels. All the fitness instructors are experienced and have a wealth of knowledge.

😠 The gym claims to be Kilkenny's only 5* gym. And it is a nice place but as a long term member I'll base my review on what it needs to make itself a 5*. The changing rooms are very old and cramped. Mostly dirty by the end of the day. The stools are breaking and mouldy so are the lockers. As a hotel/f...
