I've been going here for well over a year and I'm so thankful and grateful to the gym for it…read more They are a great bunch of guys and girl, Janet, that motivate you and tailor a plan accordingly. I always thought myself fit but working alone and remotely means you can get into bad habits and I needed that extra push and to be honest the company too. I'm not going to lie when I started I questioned my sanity in continuing and my body ached in ways I did not know it could. But I stuck with it. At my last doctor check up, she remarked that I was extremely fit. I feel it too. It's helped me with my bouldering too, I feel stronger. I'm not going to lie, when I saw the small space, I was like; "Are you for real?!" I felt like I was in a bachelors hang out zone. But it's just highlighted that if you take your health seriously then the asethics of a space aren't going to aid you, if you're serious then you'll soon learn you don't need glossy machines etc to get fit. Cillian is my trainer and he's terrific. Excellent nutritional advice that has challenged what my core belief about what eating healthy was before I started. He is patient, especially since I have an inability to ever remember the moves he asks me to do. There is great banter in there with all the lads, they really love what they do. They have such a mixed client list. From folks that never worked out before to boxers etc, everyone is made feel welcome and is given respect. Since I started it seems like they are getting off the chain popular - fair play. They also have another space in Glasnevin that I haven't checked out yet but I know it's very popular for their bootcamps. Janet also does pole-dancing classes out there, now that is a serious workout. At the risk of sounding like a piece of emotional mush, these folks have really focused my mind through challenging me physically and you know what - life is so much better when you feel like this.

As a gym it is…read morespacious and well equipped from the machines, free weights, stretch areas and their funky studio area this gym is winning! 2 weeks in and I'm loving it. Each member can meet with a trainer to devise a programme, they are on point with this and will listen to what you best enjoy doing and the type of routines that might work. I'm not such a fan of cardio work but have always enjoyed resistance style workouts which the trainer, Conor took on board and I'm enjoying the blend he put together and he made resistance training core of my programme. I've tried both the zumba and the kettlebells class so far, man they work you good. Loved both and plan on becoming a regular at the kettlebells. There are always instructors about, they are approachable and are always happy to help or tweak your technique. The facilities are top notch, changing rooms are clean and spacious. Great blow dry bar area/dressing table space plus available is a sauna jacuzzi and swimming pool so I know it appears a little pricey for some but when you take into consideration the standard of the gym equipment and quality of the facilities, if you workout regularly then this is the place to be. Oh plus nice to know, they have a salon which is open gym hours and they run great Mon-Wed special offers!

Its been 3 weeks since I've had to leave my local gym, Herberton Leisure in Dublin 8, and I'm…read moredisgusted by the lack of contact the management have made despite writing in a complaint. Was working out minding my own business and a bodybuilder nearby decided to lower his shorts to show a particular instructor the size of his thighs, to which the instructor decides to poke fun at me and joke out loud (in the middle of a room full of people) "now you better close your eyes, don't be looking!". Cue the other people in the room (women included, who weren't advised to look away) staring at me, laughing, and me sitting there mortified as 3 muscular macho men have a laugh at the gay guy in the gyms expense. It made me so self conscious and uncomfortable being made out to be a pervert that I left the gym and haven't returned. To make matters worse this staff member has continuously dropped my appointments over the last year (despite asking me to book with him as I've an injured shoulder) and other staff members have made smart comments about me asking for his help implying I fancy him. Needless to say I'm disgusted with their lack of professionalism.

I cannot recommend this place enough, its my go to place for some sanctuary in the evenings…read more You can join this gym for €29 a month or pay €32 to roam between any of the Flyefit gyms. Its really well kitted out here, plenty of free weights, benches, machines, squat racks and most importantly bars and plates are in abundance. If you have any issues the staff are quick to email you back in the main office and the staff in the gym itself are always very pleasant too. Nobody really bothers you here so you can get in and get it done if thats your kind of thing. They even have astro type fake well cushioned grass to stretch on and do floor exercises. Obviously if you come here during peak times you are asking for it - take your place among the rat run. But if you can get in when its quiet there is plenty of space to practice your best poses for the Arnold Classic! Never had a problem here, would genuinely be sad if I left Dublin to see the back of this place. Its a great gym... Come here on Friday and Saturday nights if you want to get to grips with a different kinda bar.

Cleaning staff should be changed, they chat too much. Polish employee flirts with customers, is also insolent, arrogant type. Recently changed new tiles are already dirty, full of dump, etc. Changing rooms dusty and dirty as well. Looks like no one cares about deep cleaning, scrubbing, bleaching process. That need to be done after closing the centre every day for safety reasons and without people on the site. Dear customers, please use flip flops all time and don't seat on anything without own towel - this message is specially addressed to all ladies/girls so important. And cost of memberships are definitely too high, does not cover the basic requirements of such a centre. Changes, changes, more changes !!!!

Hi anytime fitness,…read more I contacted the club on the 9th of February this year by email to find out how long was left on my contract. This was ignored, the young lad I was mailing was most likely told to ignore the request by management in an attempt to keep getting money for services I was not able to use, however there is no 'Maria' there or a 'jill'(friends reference)and the sound staff members were no longer working there so it really wasn't going to happen. The fact I was only able to use the gym for maybe an hour in total over the 6 months is neither here nor there, I signed up for 6 months so I paid 6 months, with a freeze in the middle in the hopes that I would be able to use there, no joy; happens. I explained on joining my various issues, I have explained further in response to an email. Well done on finally terminating my membership as I requested months ago. The money you are claiming is owed is only there as it didn't suit whoever to reply to my original email in February enquiring how many more months I had to throw €50 'down the drain'.

Two things to consider: very expensive and very high class gym…read more Ho expensive, you'd ask. Well, they dare to charge €500 joining fee. Then €55 (limited entry times) or €75 per month, which will bring total cost per year to €1160 and €1400. If you are a bit more clever, you'd reason with them, that €500 entry fee is way out of boundaries and they would bring it down to a €100 or less. Yes, you can negotiate. I used this gym for maybe five times during their "twelve days of christmas" promotion which was totally free. They have everything: main gym, 50 m swimming pool, studio, climbing wall, seven tennis courts, separate ladies gym, 130 m running track (a bit a fail, but it's there). Then they have baby changing rooms, sun beds, sauna and steam room, warm room, jacuzzi, plunge pool for after sauna (8º C temp.). There's SPA as well. When you join, they offer, I believe, six free training sessions. They have a nice lounge area on the main floor. Non members can wait for you there and there's lovely canteen/buffet. Minor issues: old cardiovascular equipment; running track can't be used in full potential as it has very sharp bend where you can't be running fast; tennis courts are cemented (better don't fall); small car park (may end up waiting on the road for spaces); no shower gel in showers. In conclusion, this is a very nice, filled with lots of different activities, gym. Even it's costly, but can be worth every penny, if you willing to enjoy it in its full potential. To add, it's great for families with kids, as I saw some swimming classes, where kids would be minded by staff, so it means you can have some time to yourself. But I can't confirm this. I'm Ben Dunne gym member and €200 per year compared to €1400 (€900 without joining fee) is a big deal.

I have been a member at West Wood Clontarf for over a year, visiting 4-5 times a week, but today's…read moreexperience with staff member Camilla and manager Vitoria Bueno was shockingly rude and unprofessional. My partner and I train together and share equipment, so we had one towel with us on the gym floor. When stopped, we pointed out that there is no signage anywhere on the floor stating a strict "one towel per person" rule, nor had we ever been warned before. Instead of explaining professionally, manager Vitoria Bueno literally questioned our integrity by saying, "How do we know you're telling the truth?" To make matters worse, there were people working out on the gym floor at that exact moment with no towels at all. When we pointed out the double standard, we were given weak excuses about staff availability. Rules are fine, but hostility, double standards, and accusing loyal paying members of lying is disgraceful customer service. Very disappointing treatment from a premium facility.

Very clean, huge & great selection of classes, very helpful & very friendly staff from all…read moredepartments within, sometimes I notice staff are afraid to make on the spot decisions probably for good reason but can be frustrating to members or guests and I find the members very friendly and some very funny. Since they introduced the Keiser Spin bike in 2015 I have increased my Power/Watts/FTP by over 33% in less than a year (spin class watts was 200/220 Watts now 330/353 Watts per 45 min spin class) with a max Keiser display calorie burn of 800 - 880+ per 45 min spin class, I have learned how to recover in a very high tempo while on the road by using the spin classes. Every time I think I have peaked and it's impossible to get any more power I get a new number :) and because it's the gym it's not weather permitting and more consistent in the winter months which gives a better output for the new year as I can keep an eye on my levels in the spin classes. I Unknown to the instructors use different instructors for different aspects of my training for cycling, Katarina - technique(which gets extra watts for the same effort) and heart/cadence/power zones, Dave, Ryan and Mauraid - Power with huge watts for long periods(The Hurt House Class, help me to hurt others on the road), Alan - Cadence with Power Training, this proves it was within me to improve, I just needed someone to kick my ass pushing me to my limits while training to get me there, and while on the road cycling, I amaze myself with my well earned gains and I do say to myself while raising my bidon "CHEERS one escape", my only complaint is the spin room could be a bit colder and maybe a little more technical as I know the training staff have the latest know how to be, their list of qualifications go on and on" IMPRESSIVE". The gym equipment WOW, plenty & the variety is huge, you won't be waiting, EVER. Swimming pool, Sauna, Steam Room(probably the best in Dublin) and Jacuzzi are all excellent. A big plus is the management are very approachable & do listen, which is an art lost in modern times with businesses and their customers. I have been in this gym for many years so I know that the people who own it, reinvest and give me the impression they adapt to its customers as I do get the impression the P.T. make the decisions on the classes, so it's a case of the people who are in the know are making the decisions, I make this comment strictly from observation and experience. I know I am NOT a member of a one hit wonder. As far as the cost goes you have to ask yourself the question, do you want a hostel or the shelbourne hotel, at what level of fitness do you want to get, are you happy with being fit or do you want to be super fit, one escape gets 5* from me. Yes it's more expensive than the rest but when I look at my gains, "WELL WORTH IT" and an investment in my future health, my resting HR is now 45-50 at 43, it used to be in the 70's in the days of bad diet, smoking 30-60 a day and no exercise with XXL clothing in my early 30's and the belief on bad health, sure it only happens to everyone else. It's future is an ICON for Dublin, and a standard that other health clubs/gyms can only strive to try and achieve. If anyone knows of a better gym in Dublin I would like to know where it is because I have been around jumping in and out of them in Dublin city and I can't find one. Sure they get things wrong and make mistakes, the gym and staff aren't perfect but they are getting by far more things right than wrong.

Ok this is more of a 3.5 than a 3, but I have to talk about the reception staff here. Surely…read moreensconced within the 'receptionist' role, is a warm RECEPTION for your guests? Those who pay the bills? Each time I've come in here, I've had one gripe or another. Either they are too busy chatting amongst themselves to say hello or goodbye, or they're just not super arsed in being friendly. I get that they're busy, but this is not a cheap gym by any stretch of the imagination so it would be nice to be received with a bit more courtesy. I arrived today at 1.42pm to register for spinning class at 2pm. They say that registration opens 15 mins before each class, so despite being there and ready to go, the receptionist turned to another spinner and I telling us we'd have to wait to register. Now this isn't some high tech scenario on a computer that literally doesn't open til the set time - it's jotting your name down on a piece of paper. I would like to say in full disclosure that the receptionist was tending to someone else at the time, but if she had enough time to turn to us and tell us we'd have to wait til quarter to for signing our name, surely she'd have had enough time to pass us the registration paper. Thankfully which is what another staff member did, once he heard the comment from his colleague. It took him about 0.2 seconds to pass us the sheet. A bit of common sense wouldn't go astray in situations like this. I'm still a major fan of this gym and most of the staff so far have been great, but it would be great if there was a bit less of a "Computer Says Noooooo" attitude in here (What an episode that was!)
