    Great place. Small but clean and comfy. It has all you really need to workout plus a pool and sauna. Good price and you can also book a personal trainer if you wish. There a secure lockers in the changing rooms. All you need is a euro coin.

    Zumba class is INCREDIBLE- but the customer service has disappointed me- I sent an email to cancel my membership- no-one replied and then a month later I was charged for membership that I had written to be cancelled. Not an apology even - just told my email went into spam folder? Sounds like an issue on your end and definitely I should have been apologised to- weird because I have emailed from the same account to the gym many times before. So now I am overdrawn on an Ulster Bank account I wanted to close and I've been told it will be 14 working days to get my money back?!!! Not acceptable when it was your mistake.

    The swimmingpool is nice but the staff is really rude and honestly not fit for the role. Today I went to the gym and it was closed. A guy laughing at me yelled that they were renovating it. When I asked where could I read when it would open again he laughed and pointed at a small white piece o paper hung INSIDE the gym that I couldn't possibly see from the gate on the street. Result: as paying customer I have NO idea when the place is going to reopen. Disgraceful management.

    Such a scam ! A waste of time and money ! Rude manager, a ridiculously small gym with most machines out of order, almost no collective classes, a/c not working properly, employees who seem to wonder where their life went wrong and make you pay for it. Odd atmosphere to workout, innit? You always feel like you re an intruder in someone elseโ€™s house. I highly suggest you to go to FlyeFit gym instead, the best gym in Dublin according to me !

    Have to say this gym is extremely disappointing,Gym is very small and gets really over crowded quickly,but I Joined up anyway, twas mainly for the sauna and steam room,but every time I've gone to use it the pool is closed to members and so is the other two facilities, (private classes) that's what's on the pool schedule,why bother letting people join this gym if the facilities are not available to its members at all times,if I had to be made aware of this at the beginning I would never have joined this gym,it's very irritating and also not very forthcoming on the staffs side as you have to join up for 6 months,do yourself a favor and don't bother joining this place.

    Great little gym with fantastic team. They're super supportive and efficient, and they make the gym feel like a welcoming place. Big thumbs up to them! The classes are on point. Wish there were more options, but the ones available are fantastic. The instructors really know their stuff, and I always leave feeling like I got a solid workout. Can't forget to mention the swimming pool, steam room, and sauna. It's a nice setup you've got there. Perfect for some post-workout relaxation. Thanks for creating such a cool gym.

    Great small gym. Excellent for this area where you cannot find other gyms. Is a small place but with Al the machines you need and they are brand new! Not only that there is a 25m swimming pool and different classes to join. Something to improve is that the place could be open on Sundays as well. Thanks to aul Arthur Guinness for this.

  • 2/5 Iseult C. 4 years ago on Google
    I come here every week with my kids for swimming classes. Place is clean. BUT staff are quite rude and unhelpful. For example, they're very slow to open the two (!) gates required to enter the grounds, leaving people in the cold and rain. Access is abysmal for people who have bicycles or buggies, and staff refuse to open the car park gate to facilitate. Additionally, the gym is refusing to allow swimming lessons to continue at this gym, disenfranchising more than 150 local kids from the community. Very disappointing.

    fabulous gym for the price. The pool is very well kept and it is nice being able to use the sauna and steam room after a swim to relax in and have a nice cold shower afterwards to freshen up. The gym has a good selection of workout equipment which helps with getting a full body workout. I have tried several classes in the studio and i have to say the lads teaching the class really push you to your limits, they are more than help towards helping you achieve your fitness goals, plus you couldn't go wrong for the price, absolute bargain.

    I loved the great large pool, sauna and steam room. The gym looks like it was recently renovated and the gym equipment looks new. It also has a great selection of classes. Surprisingly good value โ‚ฌ32/month for the full memberships

    what can I say except extremely great value for money compared to other gyms in the area. Large swimming pool that is never to packed for you to enjoy a leisurely swim without bumping into someone. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and the spinning classes are always at good times to suit most. Highly recommended.

    Been a member of the gym for over a year now. It is great place to attend as an individual or with the family! The club is located conveniently in the Dublin 8 area and has the best value for money. It opens quite early 6:30 so you can attend in the morning and it closes late so evening exercise is also available. The staff is really lovely. It is never too crowded so I find it much better than other gyms. Plus the biggest bonus is the amazing 25 meter swimming pool with the deepest point of 3.5 meters! It has sauna and steam room. There are many different classes available which is really popular.

    The only really good thing about this place is the price (just 30 euros a month). The pool is very often closed for repairs (now it's been closed for months and it will stay close longer, as they communicated in an email. They won't refund if you have an annual membership, they'll "discount" if you subscribe again!) and the opening hours are very limited (last entry at 9 pm and Sunday is closed. Certain timeslots are not available for customers); sometimes the staff decides to close earlier without notice (apparently not even the management knows). Sometimes there is no staff, so they have to close (they usually report it last minute in an email)! The gym is very small and people often have to wait before using the machines. In the evening the changing room is quite dirty.

    Although this place is small it has everything you need to maintain a great body and get your workout done. From cardio to strength training and so on. I really love the sauna and steam room for relaxation. The place is kept clean and the workers are friendly as well.

    Very disrespectful management. They close the gym and think itโ€™s funny and they shouldnโ€™t refund you money. I applied to cancel my membership and yet they still charged me when I reached out to them no sorry or anything just thanks for your message. Additionally the gym always packed after 5 pm no space to do free lifting, quite dirty as well.

    Great gym lovely people. There's a really helpful trainer Deco, who really knows his stuff . I would highly recommend him as a PT specialising in weight loss & building muscle. Very supportive with great results.
