Absolutely loved this place. The people are so so lovely and the trainers really push you but know how to strength train so you have proper form and don’t get injured. If you are even just learning how to strength train this is a great place to learn. Small classes and good compound exercises. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend and come back!

I did 12 Months of Nutrition Coaching with Ciarán Ruddock - it literally changed my life - so much so that I quit my job and worked towards a career in fitness industry, eventually being taken into the team in FFS! The team are super and the community is so close knit and welcoming.

Great gym with a fantastic atmosphere, always feel motivated to go in every day and train. Really sweet and knowledgable trainers who are always around to offer support. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough if you're someone that looks for a motivating atmosphere with loads of great people around.

Professional staff and very encouraging

Brilliant gym. Babies are welcome which makes training so much easier when you're a new mum and Aoife is exceptional in guiding and supporting you postnatally, ensuring you are recovering well but able to push yourself a bit (to the extent you want to, there's also no pressure to that extent). There's a big focus on doing exercises correctly and using the appropriate muscle group which isn't always the way with weight training in other places. Aoife is very personal in her approach, even when you're in a group class. And she's a lovely person as an additional bonus.

FFS has set a new bar for my expectations from a gym. The classes are varied and always challenging but doable regardless of how in or out of shape you feel. They're big on measurable progress, with plenty of opportunities to test your progress and reflect on how much you have improved. But the real strength of the gym is their staff, who consistently display a great depth of understanding of the exercises and programmes they offer, while being friendly, fun, and judgement free. They just love what they do, and nothing makes them happier than seeing you improve. Highly recommend the gym for anyone looking to become a better version of themselves.

Great gym,a bit pricey but the personal trainers are the best I have had in Dublin since I have moved here! Give it a try :)

One of the most sociable gyms in Dublin. Personal trainers are of the highest calibre, constantly looking for improvements. New programme every month and no two sessions are the same.

A top class facility. I've been to many different gyms and can honestly say that this is my favourite one. The range of class types guarantees that there's something for everyone, regardless of your goals or fitness level. The coaches are second to none, not only are they experts in their field, they are also very friendly and approachable, more than happy to regularly have a chat or give advice to you before and after sessions. Would recommend FFS to anyone who wants to get healthier and have fun while doing it, regardless of current fitness levels.

I've been coming to FFS for close to two years and it's honestly one of the best personal training experiences I have ever had. Rory and the guys are experts in creating customized and constantly evolving workouts that have allowed me to improve functional strength, increase power, and reduce body fat while having fun. The workouts are targeted and intense but still manageable. All of the trainers are friendly, have a great attitude, and are always willing to share nutrition and recovery advice. I love this place and would not hesitate to recommend FFS to anyone!

I have been going to FFS for about 6 months now, I have bounced around heaps of gyms over the last 10 or so years. Some were classes only, some were just weights and benches. I can honestly say that FFS has the best atmosphere and the best technical advice you could ask for, even when you aren't getting a personal trainer they are still correcting your form (whether you want to hear that your squat isn't low or not). The coaches are always upbeat, always knowledgeable and always pushing you to get the best out of yourself. Couldn't recommend this gym highly enough. Keep up the good work!

FFS takes fitness and wellness to another level. The friendly, enjoyable and healthy environment is noticeable from the very first class. The coaches are super attentive and friendly, always welcoming the members with a big smile and a personal approach. The classes offered vary in timing, structure and objective, so you'll definitely find one that suits. The best part, however, is the mindset that drives the gym, which is something to take for a lifetime: the purpose is to help people to become the best versions of theirselves through a sustainable and enjoyable process. I'd totally recommend FFS as a place to improve your fitness/strength levels, physique, mindset and have a good time!

I was a member at FFS for 3yrs , its so much more then just a gym, they foster an inclusive atmosphere where people of all fitness levels can train together, the coaches have a genuine interest in your progression and wellbeing, a wide variety of classes are provided often with some friendly competition thrown in 🙂

Great setup with space for buggies. Aoife was amazing helping me rebuild strength and exercise confidence after pregnancy. Definitely recommend

Wow. Where to start. I had heard so much about FFS over the years from close friends and members for several reasons. I had always been relatively interested in fitness and living a healthy-ish lifestyle, but it was 2020 (of all years I know...) that really kicked started where I want to go in terms of fitness & living a happy lifestyle. This all came down to FFS. The trainers & crew, the fellow-members, the gym & facilities itself, the overall positive attitude and positive environment have made being a member in this gym A1. I would highly recommend it to all of my friends and family members. Worth the wait on the waiting list, 100%. Very much looking forward to getting back training in-person once gyms reopen, but for now, the trainers have gone above & beyond to keep us motivated via Zooms in the current times. Keep it up guys and thanks again!"

"This gym is more than just a gym, it’s a community, it’s a family and it’s a place where the coaches actually care. It’s fun, and has a support or group for everyone."

Even through Zoom, FFS is still delivering 'best in class' coaching along with challenging sessions. While I'm not getting to the physical gym, the expert online programming means that my training hasn't been compromised.

FFS understands that everyone has a story and no two people are the same. The instructors at FFS work with you on a personal level helping you get to your goal whether it is a physical, mental or emotional achievement.

The coaches are top class, there is a variety of classes to suit each individual's goals. I love the social side to the gym also and during Covid the gym went out of their way to make everything as safe as possible for us which was very much appreciated by all members!"

A great bunch of people run and work for this gym. It's a very welcoming atmosphere for anyone. Highly recommended!

This place is magic. The coaches are not only the best at what they do, they are the nicest people doing it. Their attention to detail is something special. I have yet to leave this gym without a smile on my face.

Online and offline FFS Gyms nails the perfect workout for all levels! The attention to detail, the atmosphere (even over Zoom), the imagination from the coaches and the unreal attention given to every single person to ensure they improve every time is unreal. I can’t recommend all the crew in FFS enough

Thoroughly enjoyed my session today. Super friendly & a great atmosphere. Thanks again.

"Friendly and encouraging. Well developed programmes to suit your needs and interests, when given a choice I think you feel more engaged. Every coach has boundless knowledge. Non - judgemental and not overly competitive but will push you, they know your limits. The premises are really clean and well organised. Looking forward to when the gym is back open!"

I have been a member in FFS since 2014 and would not hesitate to recommend the gym for any new member. The coaches are hugely enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and are always willing to give their time to discus your training goals and progress outside of regular classes. The team at FFS have created a community for like minded people who thrive on seeing and being a part of the improvements they see in other members

Aoife’s post natal class was a life changer which gave me back my strength from a very very low starting point. I could not recommend Aoife more!

I am making a grand return on Monday. Patience is a virtue....though not a Cardinal one ???? Do those in the Fitness world do drugs ? Those invited did not come....how very biblical...

FFS is so much more than just a gym. Very well designed classes and expert coaches will turn your goals into reality. I believe this is the best gym in Dublin.

Great place to train - positive environment, knowledgeable coaches & huge variety week on week.

An absolutely top class facility. I have been training with the guys for over two years now and couldn't recommend it enough. They have taken my fitness and strength to a new level. The coaches are top class and have created a friendly and motivating atmosphere, that guarantee you get the most out of every class.

FFS meaning Fitter Faster Stronger. The words could also stand for Formula For Success. This gym is more than the sum of its parts: more than a great space to work out , more than a group of keen trainers hooked on whipping you into shape. Team FFS has developed a style of training that is all at once motivational, energising, challenging and effective on an individual level. No two sessions are ever the same and none leave you feeling anything other than satisfied. For me, becoming a regular FFS moment has meant significant improvements to my strength and fitness and also increases to my energy levels, my sleep quality, my confidence... It's true, it has made me a happier person!

A rare and wonderful thing. I Love FFS, the coaches, the classes, the atmosphere, the advice and the people. I have been a member since 2014. The atmosphere these guys have created is warm, friendly, competitive, exciting and perfectly conducive to creating incredibly effective and enjoyable sessions. The way the coaches use and share their own personal experience and strive for continuous improvements is not only impressive but its also very inspiring. The attention to detail from start to finish including the warm up ensures that each of us gets a tailored plan to specifically suit our needs. This is the kind of personal touch and focus that motivates me to accept no barriers and always find a way around each psychological and physical obstacle. A unique gym with exceptional coaches.

FFS has blown it out the water with the standards they set. Their attention to detail on everything from programming to client feedback is all tailored to help each and every member become the "Strongest Version of Themselves". This is the motto the FFS staff live by and preach in their actions of friendless, non judgemental and top quality coaching. I would highly recommend FFS to everyone I cross paths with.

Love this gym! Always great workouts and especially now, in these hard times they're adapting wonderfully to making it work for us! Highly recommend it!

I've been training with FFS for the last three years. Cannot speak highly enough of the staff and gym. I've been a member of lots of gyms over the years and FFS is by far the best. I would be lost without my 6.15am start to each day.

What a great bunch of trainers. Every one in there is so friendly and will make an effort to chat to you, to make you feel welcome. Ciaran is one of the top coaches in the country and I couldn't be happier that he is doing so well. I massively admire his dedication and focus. If you are looking for a gym in the area, look no further than FFS. 5 stars

Hands down the best gym I have ever been a member of. The guys are so supportive and helpful – no matter what level of fitness you have. They take such care to make sure that everyone is training correctly and that you are getting everything you can out of each session. The classes are expertly structured and are always challenging, intense and original - the only thing you can really expect from each class is to be pushed to your max every time. The atmosphere in the gym is always positive where everyone wants to help each other to improve and reach new limits. I honestly enjoy every single class – even in the ones where I can barely catch my breath for the whole session! I can’t recommend the FFS team enough.

There are gyms and then there is FFS. FFS is a space where no matter your level of fitness, you will find an attentive and knowledgeable staff who will support you and guide you in bringing out your best. Furthermore, they have created a community where in addition to the training staff, the members contribute to creating an atmosphere of encouragement and motivation. There is no attitude here. The experienced are just as quick to support the novice. The workouts are always challenging and varying so there is no risk of boredom here. I can honestly say that in my two years of being a member of FFS, I have become not only exponentially fitter, but also somewhat of a better person in general. I have been pushed and pushed myself to levels I didn’t think were capable and the benefits have spilled outside the gym into my everyday life.

In the 3 years i have been going to FFS (training 4-5 times a week) I can honestly say I have never not looked forward to a session. The programs are carefully structured and are constantly kept fresh while the regular testing allows us to monitor our progress and set both short and long term goals - which for me helps keep motivation high. All the staff are extremely attentive and helpful and have an incredible ability to recall areas for improvement for each of the individual members and push us to work on them throughout our sessions. The coaching also extends beyond the time spent on the actual gym floor with each of the trainers happy to give nutritional advice / help set goals etc. Would highly recommend to anyone at any level of fitness.

A top class gym, could never train anywhere else after two years in this place! Outstanding coaches who continuously striving for ways to improve and innovate. They've developed an unbelievable facility that just gets better and better. I could not recommend FFS enough!

Fantastic trainers who strive to get the most out of you in every session. Excellent facilities with a variety of training times and types. Atmosphere, variety in classes, efficiency, advice, and results are all second to none

Ciaran and the FFS team were incredible, would give it 6/5 stars if I could! Warm, encouraging atmosphere - and even in a large group, the trainers go out of their way to give you personal attention making sure your form is correct, giving tips etc. Great workout and tons of fun!

Found these guys extremely rude. They do not seem welcoming to potential new members.

Fitter Faster Stronger is in the upper echelon of the health and fitness industry. Not only do you achieve your fitness goals and become the “Strongest Version of Yourself”, you will also become apart of a welcoming community which makes it even more enjoyable. The coaches are the best at what they do, being very friendly and focus on even the smallest of details to make sure that you are getting the best experience possible. The classes always include the spice of life, which is variety, as no two classes are the same. No matter what level of fitness you are, I highly recommend FFS gyms. They are the home of hard work.

The structure of the classes ensure there is always great variety to the classes and progress can be made over time. Coaches explain and model all exercises well and provide good feedback during the sessions. There is always a high but realistic expectation set. It feels like coaches care about clients. Coaches bring a lot of energy to the sessions and really do their best to make the classes as close to the gym experience as possible. The timing of the classes works well too!"

I have trained in lots of different gyms and with different trainers in Ireland and abroad and the training and coaching I've experienced in FFS is by far the best. What makes the coaching in FFS so different is that I am pushed out of my comfort zone, if I don't believe I can achieve a training goal, the coaches do and they'll work with me until I get there. What you give in training the trainers give too and more. The atmosphere in the gym is great and my week is always benefitted by training in FFS, I wouldn't train anywhere else after the experience of training here.

Fantastic knowledgeable, friendly and conscientious coaches. The classes are always really good and enjoyable, I don't think I've ever dreaded going to one. I love how each month you progress each week and taper back, a lot of thought goes into everything in FFS and I know there's an evidence based reason for everything which builds trust and confidence I'd have in each coach. I love how each coach is a specialist in something! The transition to fully online was and continues to be excellent. Really good quality coaching, warm and friendly and welcoming and fun.
