    I can honestly say that dennehys gym changed my life after losing 4 stone with slimming world I needed to tone up. I joined dennehys gym back in January and I can honestly say I never looked back as well as toning up, I find in much fitter and happier in myself!! The staff and trainers are fab, I joined a few gyms before but never felt as welcomed as what I have at dennehys it was honestly the best decision I made😊😊😊

    I really like this gym and the staff are lovely but there are a few things that could be improved to make it safer during corona virus.The windows are often closed or only open a tiny bit in the upstairs gym area- even when it is packed to the rafters. The staff could do well to keep an eye on this to make sure air can circulate. Ideally I would like the booking system to be reintroduced for the busier times. I welcome a response from Dennehy's regarding these thoughts :)

    No pay as you go or special deals! Because of my work I am traveling all the time and have no need in monthly memberships, being in Ireland a week per month. They have some good equipment, busy place, but that the first gym that I know that has no special deals even for guests etc. I am traveling around the world and they all have something because they care of the client. I do sport constantly so after coming there and having a talk I was disappointed.

    Great facilities, clean, friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and fantastic value for money. Membership freezing and cancellation process are more flexible than others gym and more member friendly. They offer lowest fees. The location is very accessible and it has parking available too. I had great experience of it.

    Price to join is good. However it's over subscribed and not pleasant to workout in. Very hard to get access to workout stations. I've tried all 3 locations (Douglas is worst) early mornings 6:30 to 9.... busy... lunchtimes weekends. 4pm weekdays... and 9-11 weekdays... hopping to find that right time. Membership up next month. Will be going elsewhere.

    Great gym, I've been going here for a few years now, and it has such a friendly atmosphere. It can be really busy at peak times, which is to be expected as health and fitness is huge business these days, it has a fantastic atmosphere, every person that comes here is so down to earth, as well as the staff, and everything you need for a fantastic workout is here. I also see lots of new equipment has been added recently which is wonderful. It's also in a really nice location, and is well spread out and spacious, so that you are not bumping into people constantly when busy. As well as working out on the gym floor being fantastic, their spinning classes are also great, especially their trainer Fionn, he's excellent at them, I'm always highly impressed as they're really challenging, which is what I love and so stress relieving. Highly recommended.💪💪💪

    The douglas Dennehy’s gym is the best gym experience I have ever had. I only did a month there as I am heading away for travels. When I contacted the gym to explain I needed just a months membership they couldn’t be happier to help. All the staff are so genuinely friendly, and I’ve met a good few of them, as there are a lot staff working there:) You are always greeted with a smile, and any questions they are genuinely delighted to help!! There are multiple hairdryers, a hair straightener and a scales in the ladies changing room which is a lovely extra touch:) The equipment in the gym is also state of the art- Fantastic and plenty for all! Overall such a pleasant experience. I can’t wait to return some day :) Katie :)

    Bit pricey but worth it - good equipment, spacious, variety & the energy is great in there! Plus they’re upgrading some machines & they’ve changed around the gym , so a change of scenery is nice too BUT some of the new layout is awkward but doesn’t prevent me from working out so can’t complain but you’d no choice but to stare at someone while they’re working out as they’re right in front of you with the way some machines were placed, I know it’s a public gym so there will always be people everywhere but I don’t like people to think I’m staring but have no choice when I can only look straight ahead! Overall the gym is A1 with top equipment & very respectful staff behind the desk

    I would love to try it. It seems very popular & I would love to share the experience of gym fitness. At the moment I'm a walker but the evenings are short n getting wetter. I would love this prize.

    Been a member for almost 2 years now, the facilities are great, constantly improving and getting new machines. The staff are sound and it's in a really good location! Parking is always available and the opening hours are great. They are very active on social media too constantly updating clients about classes, opening hour changes etc.

    The one gym I joined where I didn't give up going after the first week. Motivating staff, always a great buzz around the place and my favourite place to go to for gym classes! No complaints with the place.

    Average space and basic variety of machines. A bit expensive for what it is. Needs some hygiene signs… every time I attended without fail someone was stinking of BO.

    Excellent facility with something for everyone, from the beginner to the more seasoned athlete. With 3 very different gyms to choose from it offers huge flexibility and a variety of equipment. The staff are really friendly and are always willing to offer assistance if you need it.

    I've never enjoyed the gym so much until I joined Denney's. Their classes are so much fun and I can actually see the results. Disco Spin has become my new favourite hobby. very helpful, fun and friendly staff. The gym and equipment is spotless. Always great energy every time I go.

  • 4/5 Bernadette 6 years ago on Google
    Great staff at reception and leading classes. Passionate about exercise and it's obvious. The classes are so reasonable at 7 euros. Marked a star down as the spinning bikes are hard to adjust but I guess they'll be getting updated ones soon enough.

    Love this gym. Fantastic, friendly and helpful staff. The PT's are also very motivational during classes to really push you to the end. Equipment is great, so is the location. I can see why it gets busy at times! But off-peak times are just as good as peak times. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about joining!

  • 1/5 André C. 4 months ago on Google
    The shower was extremely cold, no hot water at all. Need to improve that asap. No respect for the customers.

  • 4/5 Amelie 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym, clean, friendly staff. I just wish they had a few more of the same machines (legs press...) and would remind people to put their weights away.

  • 5/5 SHANE O. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ruth M. 1 year ago on Google
    Was only attending the physio here, Anthony Coole, who has a treatment room. The gym looks impressive, the staff seem really helpful and there were lots of clients coming and going. The place was clean and well kept. Excellent parking, within the Douglas Village carpark which is an inside, multistorey facility. You could even do your shopping after your workout or grab a coffee and visit the library . Very central location.

  • 5/5 John H. 1 year ago on Google
    Love going to this gym, good equipment and atmosphere, and fair price for what you get.

  • 3/5 Mariana M. 11 months ago on Google
    Good gym for the price. They have been replacing old machines for new ones (it doesn't mean better ones - I, particularly, don't like the new bikes and elliptical machines). It can be crowded on peak times and you'll need to wait to use equipment. During summer it can be very hot inside.

  • 1/5 Barbara S. 4 months ago on Google
    very unhappy with the administration of the gym. Me, my brother, my husband and my sister-in-law signed up for membership and they didn't give us the free month. Furthermore, we had problems with the shower that stopped working at the time my brother was having shower, problems with the service of one of the reception staff who served us rudely (ironic), dirty bathroom, clogged bathroom drain, poorly organized rules (other membership throwing weights on the floor almost hit my sister in law). You need to greatly improve the service you provide.

  • 3/5 Ross 6 months ago on Google
    Few more of the machines could do with replacing as they seem very old. Can be very busy and crowded at times. Dennehys as a chain are great but feel like Douglas gets the least amount of love when compared to the others.

  • 4/5 Anderson Sousa V. 5 years ago on Google
    It's a good gym, but unfortunately they have only one back pulley, one leg press 45° and none seated cable row.

  • 3/5 Owen T. 5 years ago on Google
    Good equipment, however small area so limited in exercise choice. Not good for serious lifters, powerlifters etc. Very young average age members, teenager heavy. Extremely busy at peak times 5 to 8 mid week, people on top of you and often in the way. However better in mornings and weekend.

  • 5/5 Hassan A. 4 years ago on Google
    I have tried a few gyms in Cork but this is the one I have found most to my liking. The staff are very friendly and the gym floor is very well equipped. The only problem is that it gets really busy during peak hours on some days and you have to wait to use some machines. I just go around 21:00 and have no trouble at all.

  • 2/5 Ozren �. 4 years ago on Google
    I've only heard good comments on this place, so decided to check it out. The gym itself is actually small and crammed, so much so that during peak hours you have to wait in line for a spot, making it hard to get anything done (and off-peak isn't really an option if you don't have flexi time). The locker room is so full that you literally have to jump over people's bags to get undressed. The toilets are not very tidy, and it's an awkward choice of design not to have them separated from the locker room in any way. Finally, the equipment is old and many pieces are shabby, and you have to balance the seat/rest while doing the exercise. In conclusion, below all expectations. Sad to have spent my €35 on this place.
