Love this gym. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Very well equipped. Fantastic range of classes and reasonable membership packages

Great gym, very convenient, needs a bit of spit and polish and a few nuts and bolts to be tightened and so, but got everything u need

Catalyst gym, Crosshaven road, Carrigaline, County Cork does not offer pay-as-you-go currently. They did previously and it was from €7.50 to a €10, but are now advertising auto-debiting on their website, which can be quite expensive when added up. It's €39 for gym monthly. And €55 for gym and classes, currently advertised. So, its €468 and €660. You must give them two weeks' notice to cancel the debit and there are T&Cs which are posted on their website. They do seem to be open to the idea of annual membership and I was quoted €370 last year. But this could change with many gyms going down the route of monthly payments? Classes may be restricted for some time because of government regulations or not get going at all because of lack numbers and this is something that potential members need to take account of and inquire in great detail about before they shell out! This is true of all gyms. This gym is a converted factory premises, but it's not bad equipment wise. It has a spinning class room with bike adjacent to the main gym. There are quite a few weight machines ; a limited number of treadmills and cross trainers ; and some outdoor apparatus. You'd want to check however about restrictions and weigh up the value for money against it. I think it would be far better if Catalyst allowed pay-as-you-go under current conditions when they start up again on the 7th or 8th of June and more membership options because if offers flexibility, rather than what I feel are steep monthly auto-debit fees which add up. The gym industry generally faces a huge challenge to get people back to the gym. Legions of people have bought their own gym equipment during the heavy lockdowns and may not return at all. By all accounts the gym equipment market was soaring and still is. All incentives should be used to get people back to the gym including discounts and pay-as-you-go. I cannot not see any rush of bodies on the 7th / 8th of June through the doors of gyms and they whole industry may collapse. Backing this up, it is possible to see second hand 'commercial' gym equipment been sold on advertising sites — so some gyms have wound up for good already. People may also weigh up the time and tedium it takes to go to a gym coupled with booking and limited numbers in the gym, where applicable, under current conditions and restrictions, and just do their own 10 or 20 minute routine at home ; or outside. Others are buying road bikes and they can be traded easily if in any reasonable condition. I sold one in 48 hours, no questions asked. Other non-gym recreation is also beginning to take hold: water sports, outdoor activities, and what is fast becoming popular walking groups. So, there is a lot of evidence that there has been a big shift towards self-sufficiency and away from gyms altogether. Many personal trainers will I am sure have their own private domestic clients by now and many gyms may face staffing problems, as with many sectors of the economy which have seen radical and 'permanent' shifts in consumer and staffing decision making. Therefore, it is in the gym industry's interest to do everything it can to get people back to the gym if it wants to survive. I think the industry is in serious trouble. If it wants to hold on to pre-covid membership pricing, I think it's a fatal strategy. Pay-as-you-go got the industry started off and got people into gym for their exercise needs, which encouraged them to buy annual memberships. I think a similar strategy may be needed again to get it going. I cannot see pre-covid level monthly rollover debit becoming a popular choice for many with many out of work. The industry overall could be in for one hell of a shock next month and a very cold shower indeed and it needs to take all intelligent and insightful views, observations, and hard criticism very seriously!

Great gym and excellent staff. Good atmosphere in there. It's a gym for all, cardio, free weights, weight machines, spinning room, cardio room with trx bands and plenty of classes to choose from!

Good gym for the price. It is possible to pay as you go EUR7 per visit at the time of writing. Monthly rates are also available (EUR50 per single month or EUR39 on a rolling monthly basis). When ot os busy it can be difficult to het access to the cardio machines or get enough weights. But it is rarely too busy. Classes are also offered but I do not use them.

Friendly, helpful staff. Perfect gym for anyone at any fitness level. Classes, free weights, machines and cardio.

I went to the gym a few times and the staff were very nice and friendly. And the people there were helpful. Definitely going to go again

Memberships and day passes are fairly expensive and the gym is a bit small. Other then that a good gym

Not visited myself but my son thinks it’s a decent gym.

Just signed up ,went in lights off in the front of the building, very unprofessional ,staff wasn't helpful just do it yourself attitude , i never heard of a gym where staff dont show u how to use gym equipment properly, lucky i no but not eveyone is going to , other than that gym is fine plenty of equipment 2 use.

TRX classes are quality!. Members all seem to be (on average) getting more results , more quickly in my view compared to other gyms I've been to, Great buzz there

Very uncomfortable gym to workout, machines don't feel safe and secure. All around wouldn't recommend it in my opinion.

Decent gym, plenty of variable equipment available to use, classes that are on often are a plus. Chill and relaxed atmosphere

Decent little setup. Staff are great

Nice staff, not too big gym but well equipped and not really expensive. No showers but other than that everything perfect. Thanks!
