😠 Facilities are good. But reception ladies are just rude. After joining membership one year and half, I found it’s better not to ask anything at the reception (booking classes was fine)because you’ll never get answers or help from them. People often mention staff, great, classes, swimming, sports, helpful, pool, good, year, area,

    Absolutely brilliant sports centre, especially after the renovation on the gym area. It would be helpful if a timetable would be displayed when the main sports hall is free for us. There is a sauna and swimming pool along side a climbing wall and many more.

    The worst center EVER! Security not organized at all. Image you try to access the center from three different gates and the security ask you for booking and and you show them and then ask you to use the other gate! And you will keep walking to the next gate carry your child ans so on!! Take into consideration that my wife is student in Trinity what if she is not! Do not use this center and look for any nearby center and it is definitely better than how these people treat you!!

    Bit dirty swimming pool and toilets/showers are old and nasty, gym is small and crowded in a school year. Lacking cable machines and steppers - only 1 there is always a queue there. NO MIRRORS in the gym 👎🏻🤦🏻

    It has smelled so bad in the fitness center for the past couple of months. By the time 7 pm rolls around you can't even breath because the room is so packed and so poorly ventilated. I'm not saying the place isn't up to code, but something is definitely up either with maintenance or how the place is being cleaned. Other than that the fitness classes are really great and so are the people who work there! I honestly think funding might have been cut to keep the place hygienic and comfortable, which is really messed up.

    I've been a public member of the Trinity Sports Centre for about two years. I primarily use it to go swimming, although sometimes I do use the Fitness Centre too. I go almost every day, at different times of day, so I think I have a good sense of what goes on there. It can get crowded at times and I do wish that there were better opening hours on Sunday, but in general, I've been very happy with my experience there. I feel that the Sports Centre staff are excellent - very friendly and helpful. The 25-metre pool is very clean, minimal to no chlorine, and it is kept at a nice cool temperature for lap swimming. Sometimes when it's busy the changing area could use more upkeep, but overall, for what I pay annually I think it's pretty good value for money. My only comparison in Dublin is Club Vitae at the Maldron Hotel on Cardiff Lane and Trinity is far better.

    Great selection of facilities and the perfect location for an after office workout. Spin classes are great, and they do themed classes 2/3 times a year for certain calendar events!

    My daughter had a brilliant basketball birthday party here in the centre. All staff very helpful and made the party so enjoyable with all the games they had panned. Very organised and well set up. Thanks again

    My 10 year old son has really enjoyed the Sports Camps, 2 weeks over the summer & 1 week at the Easter break. A great opportunity to try new sports, swim every day & make new friends. The facilities are excellent & the centre staff are always courteous & professional. Thanks to the team of coaches who are responsible for the kids throughout the day, enthusiastic & friendly and great role models for them.

    My son really liked the sport center, even if he only did 1 week of summer camp.will definitely come back next year and do 2 weeks this time! He really like it because they were doing activities from 9AM to 4PM, spacing from tennis, to fencing, climbing, basketball, kickboxing and swimming. The staff was very attentive, funny and kind to the kids.

    Gym is good but often very crowded, could do with reorganising the machines so there is more space at the back for people using kettlebells and smaller weights. Fitness classes are also very geared around student timetable - earliest is 8.10, latest is 6pm and very few at all on weekends so it is not suited to someone working Be aware if you are joining for the pool as a non student - its essentially never open/free. Always closed completely at bank Holidays and then constantly in use for sports in the evenings and most of the weekend so again anyone who works during normal office hours can't use it. Will not be renewing my membership. Showers and changing rooms are very grim

    I am elderly but need to be a bit more active. I want to swim so this works well for me as its in walking distance from my home and I felt safe there. The staff, especially Hannah McGowan, were friendly and seemed to be enjoying their jobs. I am looking forward to using the facility.

    Not suitable for anyone working standard office hours, especially for swimming - the pool is always closed for clubs or lessons after 18h, or it is just overcrowded. Gym spaces also small and overcrowded, classes are not designed with any logic or fitness level in mind, everything feels very disorganised. I regretted buying yearly membership, won’t be renewing again.

    I downloaded an app which promised me a free trial. Upon arrival they asked an email confirmation- never received. Did the registration again inform the receptionist - no email received. They said there is a person who could help , but guess what, she is off today. Long story short, no free trial, got charged €12, wasted time sorting out the issue , sauna was closed due to maintenance, pool was overcrowded, I would not come again. Didn’t provide the receipt either. 2 out of 5.

    No smith machine no pack deck. Closing too early on weekends.

    A great place for a complete workout. The gym area, the bathrooms, the swimming area and other sports area make this place quite fascinating.

  • 5/5 Arthit S. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent facilities and there are always attendant staff around. Open to the public (check their website for fees). Free for Trinity students and staff.

    We are a big fan of Trinity College camps. My children, 8 and 6, love it! A great opportunity to try many sports, have fun and spend all the energy they have! And as full-time working parents, it saves our life!
