I came here just once during my two week stay at Mullingar as they do not take drop-in's, but offered me a free one day pass. This gym is pretty basic with just cardio and weight machines, but the quality of the equipment is very poor. A few of the cardio machines were out of order, and the equipment is also extremely old. In terms of weights, there is a good variety available and a TRX studio upstairs, but the women's spot training area is very small. Another thing that irked me was the lack of a water fountain to refill water, and also some sets of weights were missing. The changing rooms are small with only two showers and a toilet. There are lockers which you have to bring your own key, although you could borrow one but they tend to run out fast. You also need your own towel.
I went at around 4pm so it was not crowded, but as it got closer to 5pm things got a bit more busy. Another thing I noticed is that there are a lot of teenagers/ secondary school aged people here, which is something I usually don't see in my gym back in Dublin. I would call this one of those "protein gyms", i.e. most people here are serious about fitness and muscle building.
The membership is very cheap and they also have monthly memberships for €40. The staff were friendly and helpful, which was a plus. There is also a variety of fitness classes which are free for members and €7 for non-members.
Overall: Very basic, not the best quality in terms of equipment but cheap rates.
