So I went to renew my membership today only to find out that the price had been raised again (from 90 - 99 in the 3 months since I last joined) So I asked the employee behind the desk what had changed to have you raise the price again? He informed me that the membership is now for gym and pool. Now, I have been a member for a good while and never once have I ever used or wanted to use the pool. So I expressed this to the member of staff who just reiterated the pool being included again... I just don't understand how you can expect people who have zero interest in your pool to pay for it when they just don't want it. So I was ready with my €90 to join again, but, in my opinion, with the quality of the equipment and the sheer lack of both space and equipment or decent ventilation, the €90 membership fee was overpriced. But, no, instead of paying my money, I drew the line there because you have raised the price but not the quality of the service provided. I just feel at this stage, with your prices getting so expensive, that you should hear some examples of the downsides to the gym to consider before you raise the prices any higher. 1) None of the staff will keep an eye on people lifting. I've seen many people in there attempting deadlifts and certainly straining their lower backs while doing so. 90 quid should at least get you some kind of guidance so you don't injure yourself.. 2) The common courtesy to wipe a bench or equipment after you have sweat all over it is lost there. None of the staff will enforce this and I don't think it falls within health and safety regulations, but I could be wrong about that. It's still disgusting. 3) the lack of equipment is phenomenal, one squat rack and a Smyth machine to do an entire gym for bench pressing, squatting, deadlifting. I have had to rearrange my entire workout while being just one of two people present at the gym on more than one occasion. That's not only infuriating, but needless. One Olympic style bar for lifting, the others are like argos bought rusty old weight plates and cheap screw bars. That's just a few of the issues with the weights area. There are many many more. But again, you get away with so much being a discount gym at discount prices. Makes sense, right? Only now it's the same mediocre at best set up, only it's more expensive. Again. For no good reason. I don't think I'm being scathing or harsh here. But if you are going to raise those prices again, I suggest you open your eyes to the current problems and indeed, the dangers that are very much present in your establishment. It's a real shame, I had, prior to joining club vitae in the Maldron, been a member of club vitae in the clarion hotel. And that was a gym worth its fees. Real professionals on hand to stop and correct someone if they were to use poor form or lift too heavy. Nice showers, appropriate space and equipment. Not to mention a smile on their faces while dealing with customers.

July 2022 - The overall quality is quite poor. The steam room is out of order for more than a month now. In men's locker room there's no locks on the lockers for more than 2 weeks. There's only 3-4 lockers with locks available. Apparently ordering locks is a problem or I don't know what's going on here. The water in the showers is too hot, the button from cold shower was broken for several months. This has been reported, they did nothing. They only put on Out of order sign, instead of dealing with the problem. The air temperature in the locker room is too high. After showering you need to get out of there asap because you'll be sweating in less then a minute. They raised the prices by 25% when the inflation is less than a half of that. From 325 euros to 400e for a full one year membership doesn't make sense. Paying 400 euro and having no lockers, hot showers and steaming hot air in the locker room, and having no steam room, that's a total rip off. Will not be renewing my membership and I suggest you go elsewhere because it's not worth the money.

I recently joined this leisure centre with the intention of using the swimming pool on a regular basis. I attended once and by the following morning, I had an ear infection & a skin irritation. As I had no other change in my routine, I find it highly likely this was caused by using the facility. I emailed looking for a refund and received no response. I then used the websites contact page and was answered by email stating I would have a response by that weekend as the manager was away. A week later, I still have had not heard from the manager. I have found their facilities and customer service skills to be poor at best. I would not reccomended this leisure centre to anyone.

The gym is really used up, most weights don't have a label anymore so you just have to guess. On top of that, the area with the mats for the free-weights is dirty, like it hasn't been cleaned in months. The lack of windows and the poor air conditioning means it smells rather unpleasant.

I love to come here, gym, pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi everything I need is in one place. Clean, super helpful and nice workers. Not too crowded which is really good.

The Maldron club Vitae is exceptional and the staff is friendly and helpful. The pool here is kept at the perfect temperature and for every hour swimming session they spend 30 minutes thoroughly cleaning the locker rooms, toilts, etc. During this Covid crisis it is nice to feel safe.

Machines are broken, time schedule is terrible everything is so bad at this gym! AVOID AVOID AVOID! And the most frustrating, they say that it closes at 7:45 and they kicked us out 7:30 pm! Bye bye never again at this

Clean, reasonably priced and great facilities. Staff are very friendly. Highly recommend

Incredible staff always friendly and always on hand to offer advice. Genuine interest in helping. Great facilities at a very reasonable price. Truly enjoy working out here.

Poor attitude of staff members. You cannot predict what would be broken today. “Out of order” is the company logo. Dirty water in the pool, old equipment, broken jacuzzi, homophobic personnel. Cannot recommend at all!

the staff is doing their very best in pool area to make all welcome and enjoy it. I go every day and would reccomend it.

Staff very helpful, pool fabulous, BUT Showers ice cold after swim 🥵

A very nice leisure centre and swimming pool.the staff are helpful and friendly, You don't have to be a member to visit.(t&c apply). One slight downside Is a lack of baby changing in the men's changing rooms. We will be back again.

Only been here half a month. If you want to not get in anyonez way best Time to go is early in the morning. I tried going about 5 in the evening and it was very difficult to do a full workout. The locker Situation is my one concern only because If you don't have a key your trying to workout but in the back of your mind your just hoping your stuff will be OK. Other than this the staff iv met all good people so yeah good place but I find it useful in the morning time only. But I'll renew if they fix the locker Situation

Excellent leisure centre! Better prices in cork City!

There’s always something broken. Sauna was in renovation for almost 2 months, machines at gym are broken or very used. Now the AC is broken for over 2 weeks now. It’s super humid, water is dropping form anywhere and no apology was made by staff or any refund offered to members. Don’t recommend ! Awful product offerings for the price you pay.
