    I have been a member of this Gym for a long time buy will not be rejoining as it has gone down hill. Firstly the Reception staff. I found these girls very rude, some of them spend more time looking at themselves rather than with trying to assist members of the gym. Some of them need to be trained or retrained in customer service practices and politeness. Secondly, the facilities: Very very lax on addressing issues with social distancing, wiping down equipment after use and using a towel. Its not policed or managed by the floor staff at all. You could be training and have a person standing right beside you. They seem to have policies in place but are not enforced. The gym floor needs major investment put into it, the gym equipment has deteriorated over the past few years, ripped benches, incomplete weight set, damaged dumbbells' that have not been repaired for over a year. The swimming pool and shower area is filthy, i forgot an item of clothing on a Monday after a swim, i went back on Friday and it was still on the floor in the changing area. There is also an Ant infestation in the pool area. In general the Hygiene and cleanliness level is shocking in the current environment . This gym should be a valuable amenity to the Cabra area but it has gone down hill due to very rude reception staff, lack of investment and up keep of the equipment and terrible cleanliness standards. The gym is losing members and it very clear why. I wont be rejoining along with a lot of others, which is a shame as it could be a nice gym if ran properly.

    Went here for a few years before the pandemic hit. Went back last November. The sauna and steam room were closed so ok but the price is still the same (and no refund or consideration for the months that were left on our contract when the pandemic hit and the place closed down - ok we can accept that but). with that in mind the least they can do is take care of the equipment. Both rowing machines were broken by the time we decided to leave and they were down to 1 standard exercycle. Half the other equipment has out of order signs on it. I did send an e-mail asking when they were going to maintain the equipment and that our renewal depended on the response. No response. As much as I liked the front desk staff the management leaves a lot to be desired and has poor customer service skills(in my humble opinion). We are now going to a local council gym for about 1/3 the price. They don't have as much equipment but what they do have works and they have a working sauna so....yeah too bad. We started out really liking this place but...

    Really friendly and good value Gym and pool. The swim passes are great value and fairly flexible and the memberships are also good value. The pool and sauna are decent and generally not too packed. The staff are helpful. The one issue is the cleanliness. they have full time cleaning staff in the changing room area who keep the floor dry, but it could do with a more regular deep clean. The toilets always stink and the shower cubicles are covered in soap scum and mold. The tiles are stained other than where people walk. Its a pity, as its the only problem i have, but it is a significant one.

    They don't let people check the facilities due to covid but they gladly accept a new membership, then I can go whenever I want. When asked if they expect me to subscribe to a membership without check the place before the answer was: "You can check pictures on Facebook"

    It’s a good space if you live near to Cabra. A space with warm pool and good machines to work out.

    Great location for training, swimming (pool), soccer (astro, normal playgrounds), classes etc. Price is affordable. Staff can be more friendly (like its just not a job...Feeling i get sometimes...). Gym staff are very knowledgeable and will guide you to proper training when asked.

    Customer for more than 2 years, Paid 3 months in advance for 2 people in October, to be told that my subscription has expired after all the lock downs, no allowances or minimal consideration, it is a good place, if you manage to enter.

    They denied entry to my 13 year old daughter and her friend (both strong swimmers) because I could not get in with them on this occasion. Even though ,I was going to watch from the spectators area. So apparently, you need a parent in the pool with you until you’re 16. Which is ridiculous. They are capable teenagers , not toddlers.. There’s little else for this age group to do in the local area as it is.

    Good swimming pool, have sectioned lanes as well as children’s area, sauna and stream room. Showers, changing facilities and locker area one of the best I’ve seen!

    Staff is very helpful and infrastructure is decent. Gym area does lack some additional equipments, but I reckon that there's a limited space for it so not sure if much can be done in this regard

  • 3/5 John S. 4 months ago on Google • 51 reviews
    Very clean and well staffed. Bathroom fixtures not aging well and no changing room for men . Opening times not great during holiday periods. Good spot overall though with a very welcoming vibe.

  • 5/5 Kiara De R. 1 year ago on Google • 44 reviews
    The pool is really pleasant, changing areas kept clean. I haven't tried the gym yet but looks great. The swimming instructor is great with kids. There appears to be lots of classes available, so feel lucky to have this amenity close to us.

  • 4/5 Héloïse C. 1 year ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Pool is great, the gym needs more machines for the upper body. Would be amazing if the free weights were organised by weight so we can find them easily. Would be a great addition to have 2 benches as well. Staff is very friendly

  • 1/5 Fernando F. 2 years ago on Google
    Far too many people, and too little equipments. Not worth half of what they charge. No water fountain anywhere, “because of COVID” but they sell one small bottle pf water for 1.8. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

😠 The facilities are amazing and there is an amazing range of equipment available but unfortunately that's as far as it gets. We start from when they decided to "renovate" the spa area and never mentioned any expected date to reopen. Instead, they would always say that "next month" it would be ready...

🫤 Could be very good place to work out and relax but the price for monthly membership and joining fee ! It is rediculus ! Double the price then elsewhere and yes the other places I have been in Dublin had the swimming pool and saunas 😁
