👍👍 I’ve been a member of Results for almost 2 years now. Cannot recommend enough, trainers are very knowledgable and the small group training is great for a non intimidating and friendly atmosphere, especially when starting out!

Coffee shop
👍👍 Cannot recommend this place enough! Such a terrific hole-in-the-wall cafe that’s a little outside the bars and crowds of Galway. Coffee was perfect and our barista Áine was so friendly! She provided so many local recommendations for food, more coffee, and things to see. You won’t regret coming here.

👍👍 I can’t recommend AR fitness classes highly enough. The classes are different each time and there are modifications to suit every fitness level. My favourite aspect is that the class I attend is 30 minutes so I can have this completed before I start work. Alan has created a fun and inclusive environ...

Ireland's Smallest Comedy Club
Comedy club
👍👍 Superb place to see quality comedy and see real pro's do time. Such a great value as well. On Thursday, free pizza is included in admission. The host of the show is amazing in his crowd work and joke delivery. If you're in Galway City the night of a show, do yourself a favor and just go.
