    The gym itself is pretty decent as the selection of classes is great. Changing rooms are spacious and always clean. I have enjoyed the spa area although I wish it had more chairs. What I don't like is that I have been trying to cancel my membership since September. I have reached out to them several times through the Contact Us form they have on their website and I have not been graced with a response. Meanwhile, for two months now, my membership fee of 60 euro has been taken out of my bank account despite of my cancellation request. As a customer, this is quite a poor experience and the reason as to why I would definitely not recommended anyone I know to come here. They make it way too difficult to leave

    Having joined GymPlus for a few months now I am really impressed with the quality of the classes, in particular the variety and the fact that they are never too packed. The management staff are always super friendly and helpful- even arranging the complementary training session with one of the trainers which I found really useful. Also love the sauna and steam area after a work out!!

    Good vibes there, the staff is friendly and enthusiastic. Very clean changing room and spa, the jacuzzi is never too crowded, I could spend hours relaxing there. Would need more space for spinning but its good anyway.

    This is a cool gym and it helps me with all my routines. The Changing room is spacious and constantly being cleaned up. The Spa is also very clean at all times and there's sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.

    The gym itself is fine, I had all the equipment needed and staff (in general) were nice and professional. However, when I discussed a nutrition and workout plan with one of the trainers, he told me I wasn't making a good choice by being vegan (I didn't ask). He even said "you surely have some vitamin deficiencies" and I said my health all my blood tests were perfectly fine, thank you (he's not a nutritionist and has no idea, so he should do the job he's paid for and not sound like an ignorant). I'm now with a private female trainer and certified nutritionist who's helping me reach my goals as a vegan with workouts and nutrition, with great results and no judgement because yes, it's possible to be vegan and strong :D These people should really double-check who they hire...

    Good range of classes, particularly Beua Jacks boxing which is a class exclusive to the gym and one which in my opinion is worth joining for alone. The gym floor is well structured with a good range of cardio machines, and a well-sized and well planned weights zone. A very good jacuzzi/sauna/steam facility with an ice bucket. Overall a high quality gym that provides value for money for members who are willing to use the facilities on a regular basis

    Lots of equipment, good spa area, clean facilities and friendly staff. General maintenance could improve a bit.

    The gym is not clean enough. It is very dusty and it is not pleasant to breathe dust while working out. Some of the gym machines are not fully functional. The jacuzzi in the spa area smells like chlorine far too much and it is not clean enough either. At the bottom of the jacuzzi you can see a layer of black matter which should not be there. Showers do not have liquid soap, towels are paid and you have to bring your own locker. I think this is the minimum that should be available in a gym that costs €60 per month.

    Excellent gym, not too busy, always clean, good temperature and lots of equipment. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Even when there was a problem with the temperature of sauna, Bruno took time to explain to me what was happening and offered to send me an email letting me know when it's fixed. Congratulations to the staff!

    I love this gym not just because of the workout area, spinning and other classes, but also because the spa/sauna is great.

    When reopening after COVID-19 measures they provided a 6-day notice for the ones who would like to freeze membership for July. I was a few days late on that notice (7, almost the same 6 days they consider fair enough), and my membership could not be frozen for July. Asked for cancellation and it also could not be cancelled for August either! So I had two pay for two entire months that I was not going to go a single day even. That's a really poor customer service.

    What's not to like?! I like pretty much everything about the Club! Things have improved in leaps and bounds since Sandra Dunne became Group Manager almost a year ago followed by the appointment of David Rice as Full time Club Manager. Two appointments resulting in a transformed Gym in my view and a much better atmosphere. Unlike several of his predecessors, David is always visible and frequently walks the floors, tidying weights or fixing equipment and generally keeping an eye that everything is shipshape. He has a very engaging and inclusive style of management which seems to work well with the Staff. He also takes part in several classes. We are very lucky in the staff we currently have. From the excellent trainers to the friendliness and general helpfulness of all the Reception & Membership Sales Staff and the thoroughness of the Housekeeping Staff (Bruno and Juliana). They are all really good advertisements for the Gym and present it in the best possible light. There are a variety of classes offered throughout the day and something for everyone to enjoy. The Spa area is also a lovely alternative. All in all, a very friendly Club and a much improved experience on previous years. In fact, no comparison!

  • 3/5 María 1 year ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Gym is really good. I love the classes and the instructors are preparing the classes in advance, which is cool. The classes are not the same every week to be able to work out properly. Spa is really good also. However, I have been member for a year and the showers in the women’s bathroom are not great. If you are lucky you get hot water. Some days you have and some others no. It is not very confortable to do exercises and have a cold shower after. This problem have been communicated to reception and they were trying to fix it 2 months ago, and nothing has change. I tried gym plus in other areas and you can regulate the temperature to cold down the water because can be hot. This is something that you can not do in gym plus ballsbridge.

    Pretty much ticks all the boxes for a gym, plenty of space , nice staff at reception, and shout out to the cleaning team as the entire gym and spa is always absolutely spotless. Only complaint would be the treadmills need a bit of an upgrade, they're pretty old and make a lot of noise when running on them, but overall very happy here

  • 3/5 Andrew C. 4 years ago on Google
    Initial thoughts with this gym is that it is large but only when you start using it do you realise how small the space is for the gym equipment. There is only one of most machines and it is still so tight that it is hard to walk around them. There are only a couple sets of dumbells with several seemingly missing and only about 5 benches. A large amount of space is for classes, changing rooms and the Jacuzzi area. It may get quieter but it has been so busy during January that you will not get on equipment without waiting for it. I changed my time to 6am when it is much more manageable because of this. Finally, it is far to expensive for the quality you get here and I have not found the membership options flexible enough for me. The only good thing for me is the location as it is near my accommodation.

    The only complaint I have about the gym is that the members and staff do not put equipment away when finished with it. I usually come in first thing in the morning when the gym opens- weights are not organised and laying around and still racked on equipment. Frequently I see gym goers load weights and not unload and re-rack when complete with the set. It’s frustrating because I find that I have to search the gym for weights needed for my sets. A simple end of day clean up and organisation of weights would help significantly. Otherwise, great gym. Really nice staff! SPA needs an update but they are working upgrades currently, so maybe the SPA is next. Good gym for the price.

  • 5/5 Daniela P. 5 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    I’ve been working out for a while at Gym Plus Ballsbridge. Although I don’t really have time - I want to change it! - always that I can I go there. Today I went just to attend the Zumba class with Vic. It was an amazing class! Super good vibe. She is class! Also, I really like Vitor, I told him I dont have time, and he build a simple exercise according to my needs/time. He had showed respect for my wishes and it makes difference. Overall, the staff are really nice and polite. I just think that now, winter time, we should have some Pilates class option during the lunch time as well! :))

    Perfect SPA with sauna steam room and jacuzzi in one separate place away from the noise of the gym with relaxing music and longchair.

  • 5/5 Victor O. 1 year ago on Google
    Very well equipped gym, amazing spa area with jacuzzi and sauna to enjoy as much as I like. The staff is very concerned with our well being and all areas look very clean and modern.

  • 5/5 Ella A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an excellent gym and spa and a reasonable price. My only complaint would be the showers are just not warm enough. Other than that it’s really good. Can be busy but there’s plenty of room. Joined here after shocking treatment in David Lloyds club, and it’s honestly much better and half the price. Thanks!
