Gym has been ruined lately by certain groups of people who feel they own the place. Nearly every weekday evening, the same group of men sit in the jacuzzi talking for literally an hour. When they aren’t in the jacuzzi, they are standing at the end of the swimming pool lanes obstructing swimmers. Nobody else can use the jacuzzi while they are in there and I imagine this is particularly off putting for females. The staff (who are lovely btw) really need to clamp down on this and tell them to move on or else make a rule that max time in the jacuzzi is 10 minutes and erect a sign to that effect. There also needs to be more signs placed around the machines on the gym floor to remind people that it is not fair on everyone else to sit on a chest press machine for 23 minutes while scrolling through Instagram. As I say, lovely staff and the facilities are good overall but the place has become a complete free for all lately and I can’t say I’ll be renewing my membership unless management sort out these issues.

I have been a member of this gym for 2 years now, and I do not have too many objections. The gym is clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. Changing rooms with plenty of lockers and just enough showers. Water temperature can be sometimes hard to set, with some extremes from dead cold to boiling hot. The equipment is mostly well-maintained but there are some older, very tired and close to retirement pieces. Those should be actually scrapped as they do not serve any purpose no longer, and on some occasions those pieces could be described as a health - risk. There are some important machines missing, and I would love to see them coming in. There also is a swimming pool (quite all right actually 👍), a tiny jaccuzzi, steam room and sauna. Different classes are widely available with no additional costs. And finally there is large and very accessible parking. In general, I must admit that the gym has gotten better since my first review, and I truly hope those last few issues will be soon rectified. If I have any real negatives in mind, then that would be the gym's app. IMHO, and for me personally, it is terrible, lacks any real functionality, performance is s...low, and quite often it just freezes. But since I can live without it and avail of all the gym's amenities... who cares 🤷

Was a member, tried it out a few times and decided it wasn't the kind of place for me. Per the contract I was entitled to a refund as I was in the cooling off period, however having chased it up multiple times I still haven't received it, or even any communication explaining why not. Wouldn't go to a dishonest business that doesn't honour contract promises. Edit: below the owner claims use of the gym means no refund is permitted, however on their Terms and Conditions page under 'Fees and charges', they instead say 'If you have used the Club, we reserve the right to charge you a reasonable fee for your gym usage during this period.', not that no refund is permitted. https://gymplus.ie/terms-conditions/ I would have of course been happy with a partial refund with a reasonable fee given I used the gym a few times, but at no point until now did I receive any communication or explanation from the gym. So this seems like further dishonesty to me. I've been a member of multiple gyms and this is the first time I've experienced this kind of cheapness on a simple refund promise.

I was an active member of Gymplus Rathfarnham for more than 6 months (October 2018 to June 2019) and I have too many complaints about this Gym. First of all, even though they say the gym closes at 10pm for weekdays, at 9:30pm its stuff tell you to finish your exercise because they are closing the gym. Just because of this reason I could not even finish my cardio at least 75% of the time and was panicking to be lock inside the gym or having an argument with an employee. So, there was no joy in weekdays while you are at the gym because you had to rush through your exercise. Secondly, they just randomly started to close their gym early (without any information, you just learn it when you arrive to entrance of the gym) at 6pm at weekdays. It went for weeks from the end of December and to beginning of January. As an employee who works from 9am to 6pm, I was not able to use the gym for at least 4 weeks and they did not even consider to compensate my damages and continue to charge me for the SERVICE THAT THEY DID NOT SERVE. Thirdly, whenever I went to gym at weekends, the whole gym smelled like pancakes. As a person who goes to gym, tries to lose weight and eat healthy; that emerged a problem for me each and every time. As you can imagine, it is not easy to run at the treadmill and thinking about eating healthy while the whole gym smells like pancakes. Finally, the biggest inconsideration of them can be described about the cancellation of the membership. They just won't let you to cancel your membership even though you already paid the fee of the current month. They charge you for the next month as well - even though I told them I moved to a different place and from now on am UNABLE to use their service -. So, in other terms, THEY CHARGE YOU FOR THE SERVICE YOU CANNOT USE (even though you paid the fee of the month you are in). Briefly, if you want to go to a gym at Rathfarnham, do not need to bother yourself to think that the Gymplus Rathfarnham is a reasonable option. If I was allowed to give them a negative star in the system, I would definitely do that. However, system only allow us to give 1 star for the worst experience. Definitely 1 star and also definitely I will never ever suggest this gym to anyone I know in my entire life. I had my worst gym experience in my life so far. Thanks for reading Altug

Myself and my dad joined in November as the gym we were in closed down the swimming pool, sauna area. When we joined they told us the jacuzzi was waiting on a part and would be back working in a "week or so" (nothing to do with restrictions) To this day its still not working, the last 2 weeks we have gone the steam room has been intermittently working or not working at all. The showers since we joined have mostly been to cold with the odd time been to hot, very hard to control them. Yesterday was the last day for me, went up for a steam room still not fixed and got scaled in one of the showers. We know from talking to other members and reporting myself that these issues have all been reported to staff numerous times. The gym itself, what you see is what you get. I personally won't be returning.

It’s a good gym layout is not the best but it works. Staff need to honour the closing times, if gym is closing at 6pm there shouldn’t be an announcement that it is closed at 5:45pm, because if so then the times need to reflect that online. We were rushed out of the place a good 15 minutes before closing. That is unfair to members arriving at 5pm for an hour workout

Excellent place for all kind of workouts. Aqua is my favourite. Rodrigo is an amazing Aqua aerobics trainer. That’s so motivating.. all the classes are great. Equipments and the gym is always clean. Very friendly staff. You will get nice smile everyday going in and out. Would highly recommend to friends and family.. well done everybody at gym plus Rathfarnham. 👏🏽

Fantastic gym, lots of equipment. Nice temp. pool and sauna and steam room are lovely after a workout. It’s the friendly staff that make it for me though. Always a friendly hello on the way in and you can ask the instructors for advice anytime. Shout out to Ava for the intro tour and Liviu for helping design a plan for me. Feel great going in and even better coming out!

Great trainers, such as Irina and Rodrigo, for example, and generally helpful staff, warm in the dressing room, hot sauna, warm swimming pool, working jacuzzi, a lot of free weights, good machines - I love the leg press! Would be great to have a Reflexology room, sunbeds, Infrared Sauna and a Cryogenic Sauna as well, kind of missing it here. Thanks :)

I have been a member of gym plus rathfarnham for many years now. The gym is a safe and positive environment for all age groups. The facilities are great and the morning classes are fantastic. I do personal training with Jessie and I cannot recommend it enough. It has been so good for my self confidence and fitness.

It’s an alright gym/club, but the cleanliness/state of some areas is very questionable I’ve been a member for a month and I chose this gym based on location and the wide range of facilities. I guess I can start with the positives which for me are definitely - The facilities - pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, lots of space - Good gym equipment - It’s got a nice relaxation area with vending machines, tables, coffee machines etc - Staff seems lovely Now for the things that aren’t so great and ruin the experience a bit: - The state of the women’s showers is absolutely disgusting. They are quite literally falling apart and in serious need of a renovation. Pieces of the ceiling have come off and there is so much MOLD on the ceiling. I think this just isn’t up to the health and safety standards of a club that’s a lot more expensive than your usual gym and is quite modern in other ways. - The filth inside the jaccuzi… Once the bubbles turn off (they turn off after a while for a few minutes and then back on), I was left shocked by the state of the inside of the tub. There were yellowish/brown splatters on the bottom and edges of the jacuzzi itself, as if it was stained with something. It’s hard to ignore as you’re just sitting in there and the whole bottom is dirty… It can’t be that hard to empty it and give it a good scrub. The smell of chlorine in the hot tub is really strong as well and made my head hurt (probably to kill the bacteria), and I am usually someone who likes the smell of pools. If they renovated the showers/pool area it would be a great place but at the moment it’s just a little rough! The gym itself is grand but I chose this club specifically for these extra features, so I am a little disappointed with that… :(

It’s amazing gym.Chris and his staff but on fantastic classes. There are a great variety of classes. Chris and his staff are so helpful and encouraging. There is a great atmosphere so friendly the most friendly gym I have ever been in.i would recommend it highly to anyone who was thinking of joining.

Good gym with great staff who are friendly. Membership is 60 eur which is a great deal for both gym and pool. However, could be a disadvantage for those who do not use the pool as they end up paying more compared to other gyms.

Absolutely beautiful and relaxing atmosphere, good selection of classes, an enjoyable experience! All the instructors are well skilled, good knowledge, keen to help and good maners. The reception staff are great too, they always answer the phone in time and help with different informations. Best of luck to the new manager Rodrigo!

GymPlus Rathfarnham is a wonderful gym full of friendly, active and like minded people. Great facilities and an abundance of classes to choose from. Chris the fitness manager has genuinely changed my life with his constant motivation, reassurance and positive feedback - I have gained confidence and belief in myself which has spilled into all other areas of my life. Rodrigos Zumba classes are full of fun and his energy is contagious! The lovely Pilates teacher Jessie has helped improve my flexibility and mobility. Joining GymPlus was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Nice gym, joined back after a 6 months off and there’s not really any negatives. Open, spacious, clean. However I noticed there’s no EZ bar which is a pretty important piece of equipment imo. Besides that I would recommend this gym

Swimming lessons are good for kids. They're great for beginners but progress seems to slow down as they progress through the levels. The showers are freezing.

Decent gym for its size. Could use a few more items though : short straight bar for curls, abs machine, T-bar row machine, seated military press. Good hygiene, machines always clean.

Great gym. Has a lot of classes to sort all levels of fitness and experience Has most of the equipment you need, just go a little off peak times to get a rack/machine that you want Great sauna, steam room and jacuzzi

I have started my membership a couple of weeks ago and I am really enjoying the swimming lessons with Maila. The staff is friendly and the gym has also a really good environment.

I love this gym! Have been a member for nearly 1 year now and I love it! High quality equipment, friendly and professional staff and nice atmosphere. It offers everything you need for a complete workout!

A great gym to be a member of. The classes are so varied and for all ages, teens to us "oldies" never too old to work out! The trainers are super very supportive and encourage you all the time. Always adding new classes so you never get bored I especially love the dancing classes and the new one Ti Chi.

Very friendly people here will be joining soon

The gym is good, but the people who run the place are unprofessional. I wanted to cancel my subscription and I sent them more than one mail and the mail was ignored and after that they send asking for the monthly payment and this is what happened with my friend also he wanted to transfer his membership to someone else, but they ignored his request after many calls

This is an extremely well run facility in very many aspects. Firstly it is scrupulously clean, there is a first class number of cleaning staff constantly on the go in the ladies dressing rooms, which are warm and spacious with an adequate number of lockers. The pool is at a comfortable temperature and clean. Pool times are well organised and the aqua aerobics classes are excellent and are available most days of the week. There is plenty of gym equipment and very experienced gym instructors. In my experience I found Rodrigo to be very helpful and kind. He also does the aqua aerobics classes and is greatly encouraging. All the participaters very much appreciate him. I would call this gym first class.

Great gym. Has all you need for whatever workout you're in to. Plenty of equipment so even at peak times you're not stuck. Helpful staff and a community atmosphere. Been coming here for 5 years and couldn't recommend enough.

A great gym with experienced staff who are always willing to help. My PT, Jess is exceptional. I have sciatica and she has worked with me to help my flexibility. The difference is incredible. I appreciate she professionalism, her understanding and her knowledge.

I've been a member of Gym Plus now for a few years and I find all the staff, facilities and classes excellent. At Gym Plus, Rathfarnham there is no better trainer then Chris. He is prossional in every way, from presentation, class content and manor. For me the best thing about Chris is his natural ability in a packed class to make everyone feel like he is talking directly to them and no one else, he encourages, pushes you and make us all feel like we can achieve our individual goals. What more could you ask or want.

Great gym located in Rathfarnham and very economical.

nice gym but if you have no knowledge of fitness please don't take any advice from staff. Very poor knowledge and many people doing wrong (most likely have injured themselves) in classes form not being corrected. Spoke to management about this when cancelling my membership and nothing was done about it.

The Staff is extremely helpful & prompt. I had multiple questions before singing up for a short term membership for someone visiting Dublin; and the team was very flexible and offered great service. have recommended this place to friends and family :)

Great place for training. Machines and pool everything working well. The pool is rather small but works just perfectly.

(Translated by Google) Super (Original) Super

Staff were very helpful and friendly

The upside it has a pool and they have laid out the gym well. Downside it's too busy

Friendly staff, have just joined so will take my time to make a judgement. Very efficient booking app.

Really bad place.... cuz it is a very complete complex, with diverse and very productive classes included in the monthly subscription! And I also love the steam room, jacuzzi, sauna and pool :D

Cracking gym, Great equipment and plenty of it. Sauna and Jacuzzi are lovely also.

Excellent team of welcoming staff and a brilliant selection of classes and equipment available...highly recommended.

Our 3 children take swimming classes here. Teachers are excellent. We had a minor issue with one teacher but after we spoke to her directly about it it was resolved. The pool is the perfect size for kids classes. There's loads of parking underground if you can't get it on the ground level. Take the inner lift to level 1 if you're rushing with small kids! The swim desk is only open weekdays so save your queries until then if it's swimming related. The showers aren't great. There are 8 shower cubicles. 6 have fixed shower heads, only 2 have removable hoses. Showering young kids with a fixed shower head is unmanageable. You get soaked and it takes way too long. Upgrading the cubicles to removable hoses is a very quick and inexpensive fix. Other parents complain about this too and we've given feedback directly to staff. Otherwise good spot, good teachers, clean and tidy.

Great gym even at peak hours not too busy and very clean, staff always friendly and working hard to keep the place right.

Bit pricey but good equipment and trainers

Great gym facilities, run by friendly and professional people.

Very friendly gym here very clean and good facilities

Great

Great gym. I live local and it's also on my route home from work which is really convenient. Free parking and shops nearby. Nice atmosphere in the gym and there's always machines free, even when it's pretty busy. Very clean gym which is really important to me.

Pros: - Decent value for a gym with a sauna and pool. - Good number of benches in free-weights area. Cons: - Constant intrusive building work/ Maintenance/ Cleaning machines etc. being done during working hours. - Lack of equipment like kettlebells. - The men's sauna looks directly out onto the children's changing room - which is a bit creepy.

Convenient but they need to get the TV fixed on the cross trainers.

Excellent gym with great staff.

The gym is great really enjoying and most of its facilities however the sauna in the men’s changing is not up to scratch. It is not sealed properly and lets in a cold draft and is simply not hot if you are sitting on the bottom row.

A friendly and happy place to go to, very friendly and welcoming staff, pleasant atmosphere and fine gym equipment well maintained.

Love it. Great free weights section. Very well equipped

The facility is very good and kind staffs the classes are very funny and enjoyable I could recommend this gym to all

Rathfarnham Gym Plus is great. Never too packed and the staff are always friendly. Got a great pool area also. Would definitely recommend it.

Lovely staff, Great place to work out . Clean and well organized Gym, I highly recommend.

Good gym. Nice staff and great facilities. Newly renovated the changing rooms.

Awesome gym and friendly staff and brand new equipment

(Translated by Google) Good, but if they divided the spaces for better stretching, it would be excellent (Original) Buona, ma se dividessero gli spazi per lo stretching meglio, sarebbe ottima

After my swim I like to call in to the coffee shop where I speak to them. It's really nice. 😁😁!!!

Too good

Popped In a week ago, And was delighted with New weight machines would definatly recommend this Gym.

It's such a rip of its about €40 for a family of 5 to go

Gym Plus Rathfsrnham is a friendly club well run with something for all,young& old

Great Gym & Staff

We use the pool for swimming lessons once a week. The changing rooms are ample, clean and have plenty of lockers. The pool area is good, there's even a jacuzzi. Plenty of parking too as it's in a retail park.

Love this gym. Staff are very friendly and helpful, place is full of everything you need for any workout and is always very clean. Cant praise it enough

Love the refurbished gym

It is possible to get the machines required at any time

Very clean.Good variety and large amount of equipment so rarely waiting to use equipment. Staff very friendly in main gym and swim area. Excellent swimming programme. Ample free car parking

Did a spinning and Dance class with Irina this morning and they were fabulous💃🕺🚴‍♀️☄☄☄☄

Geat facilities. Helpful and friendly staff. Friendly atmosphere.

Good. It has everything I need. I already recommended three of my friends to join the gym.

Only joined a few weeks ago, but so far I love it. Great range of classes, really friendly atmosphere too. Great modern facilities, would recommend this gym with no hesitation at all.

Great facilities

how much Subscribe in the gym to 3 months

Visit the gym daily. Good spot

Really enjoying the facilities at Gym Plus. Great friendly staff on hand for advice and encouragement.

Just simply a good gym

Vagner de Souza from Gym Plus Rathfarnham is an outstanding swimming coach. My daughter loves learning to swim in the Gym Plus, especially with Vagner as her instructor. When I asked what I could do as a parent to help her progress, Vagner took time to explain practical and easy to follow exercises. Of all places we have tried GymPlus is the most professional, friendly and great value place in our area. Thank you to all the staff and swimming instructors.

Great gym and swimming pool, nice staff, very helpful

Very friendly gym. Excellent selection of classes with extremely professional, enthusiastic and encouraging instructors. Definite sense of the staff striving, especially in recent months, to provide as positive an experience as possible to its members. Well done Chris and team!
