I joined this gym in January and come quite regularly. It's kept clean and isn't too crowded…read morewhenever I go in the late afternoons or weekend mornings and never seems to get super crowded, maybe because there are a few other gyms in the area (Educo, Fly Fit, Spencer dock, Cross Fit). I paid the student rate of 400 euro for a 12 month membership and you must pay 2 months up front, which is cheaper than mu previous gym. They have a variety of free classes like cross fit, spinning, abs classes, aerobics etc. as well as paid ones which are discounted for members like swimming lessons and yoga. There are a few types of memberships depending on your usage, like off peak, family plan, and 3 monthly etc. at varying prices. There is a Club Vitae app as well that you can use to book any of the classes. They have a nice 22 meter pool, sauna, jacuzzi and steam room. The pool usually only has a few people whenever I'm there, but it's very crowded on weekends when there's kids swimming lessons in the mornings. The weights and cardio room have plenty of treadmills, but only a few of the other machines like bikes and cross trainers. The machines seem kind of old, but they still function fine. The area is smaller than massive gyms like Fly Fit, but they have a big enough weights area but only one of each type of weights machine. The changing rooms are kept very clean. I don't really like the showers as you can't control the temperature and it's quite lukewarm. Also it stops every minute or so and you have to wait a few seconds before you can turn it on again which I found weird. The staff are all very friendly, and the 10% discount on food from the V-Deli as well as the Vitae Spa for members is a nice bonus. They also sell protein powders, bars, coffee, fruit, swim suits, locks and swim caps. Free personal training and designing of a new workout program is also available to members. Overall, flexible membership options at reasonable prices, well kept and well equipped. Cleanliness: 5/5 Crowdedness: 3/5 Variety of Equipment: 3/5 Staff: 5/5 Value and price: 5/5

Would not recommend. Whatever gender you are be aware that the hotel allows children of the…read moreopposite sex to enter the changing rooms. If you are a 40 year old man, some father might bring his 7 year old daughter into the MALE CHANGING AREA and she will check out your junk. If you are a 40 year old woman, you could encounter a 7 year old boy checking out your goods in the FEMALE CHANGING AREA because his mother brought him in. The hotel's excuse is they don't have any Family Changing Rooms, (never mind that the hotel has 400 rooms and families can change in their own rooms.) So yeah, the hotel allows any gender child to access any gender changing room and they say there's nothing they can do. So sorry if you are uncomfortable. By the way, FlyFit gym is 1 block away and they charge half as much. They also don't allow children.

Walking around Dublin city centre, besides the occasional sea gull, it's easy to forget how near…read moreyou are to the sea. The sea safari pushes these boundaries and takes you out the Liffey and lets you view Dublin from a perspective that most people miss. The craggy rough coast along Dublin is breathtakingly gorgeous. The sea safari runs tours from Malahide, as well as from the Docklands and gives you different touring options. The cost of the tour (€35) is a bit pricier than your standard dublin bus tour, but it's also much more exhilirating and definitely much more unique. During my tour we got to go into a sea cave, that despite being to the sea many times, I had no idea existed. There's also the opportunity to view all the sea life that live in Dublin bay, like seals and porpoises. The ride is not for the faint of heart though as the wind blowing in off the sea can cause the water to be quiet choppy, but when operated right the rigid inflatable boat is quite smooth. You are also provided with all weather gear that protects you from the wet and cold, though I would suggest bundling up with as much layers as possible. If you've been to Dublin before and are looking for something a bit different, or you love the sea and a bit of adventure this tour is definitely for you!

Beaches in Ireland suck. Even tho this is a nice beach, but compared to normal beaches around the…read moreEurope - this is crap. Wont waste my time writing anything more and so won't be back, unless start living in Skeries. Public toilets available for free. Beach's concept requires yellow sand and a sea for swimming. Now there's grey sand full of rocks and shattered shells that stings your bare feet. Then, tide was low and in order to swim at the sea, it required a bit of jogging forth and back and even at the water you'll need to go far far further for a proper depth for swimming.

At one stage when i was standing in the shop taking a photo I though to myself 'oh my why an I feeling dizzy?' then I remembered Im in a boat and its swaying! Good enough stock I guess - surf boards, wet suits, the usual water sports stuff. They didn't really have much variety in bodyboards which was disappointing for me! Nice staff - she was pretty helpful. Surfs up dude - the search continues!

It's been enjoyed by locals and visitors since 1880 when Arthur Edward Guinness re-opened it as a public park after it served as a private community for the wealthier residents of Dublin for more than century (Just like Merrion Square Park) The 22-acre park is a Dublin treasure and an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of downtown city life. When weather permits, you should do as the locals do and stretch out on the grass for some rest and relaxation, or grab a picnic lunch. Immaculate flowerbeds fringe the lawns. The green space is also home to several monuments dedicated to some of Ireland's most important figures, including James Joyce and Arthur Edward Guinness. The park is located in St. Stephen's Green Square; the main entrance is through the Fusiliers' Arch, at the top of Grafton Street

Finally got down there the other day and I thought to myself, well that was silly, the summer's nearly over, and it turns out, it's bloody great craic! I guess the major thing that was putting me off was the price - it's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. It was 35 euro including board & wetsuit on a Monday evening at peak time, and that's for 15 mins. However, it's important to note that: - There are ways of doing it a lot cheaper - if you're going off-peak for example, you could get it for as little as 20 eurits for a longer time, or if you were sharing an hour or two with a group of friends, or if you buy a bundle of time, which gets you money off - The other thing is, we were both out there for about 20 mins each really and to be honest, it's nearly enough when you're starting out. It's a very different skill to learn if you haven't ever done it before, and that amount of time is pretty much sufficient. The guys are really lovely here - very friendly, encouraging and patient. The location is spot on - who know you could do water sports right in town! The price can be made cheaper. And it's VERY fun, and a totally different way of exercising your body. I am definitely going to go back and would absolutely recommend it.

I really like this gym. Apart from the things I really hate about this gym…read more It's cheap, you don't need yearly contracts or anything like that. Pay as you go, stop paying when you don't want to go anymore. Simple. Also on the plus side, for someone that doesn't use any fancy machinery for his workout, this is awesome. There's a pretty big free weight area, and a very very good number of power racks! If you go to the gym to squat, bench, deadlift and that sort of stuff, Flye Fit has got you covered! Although I tend to keep away from them a bit, there's also a very good number of cardio machines, treadmills, bicycles, those things where you pretend you're walking up stairs, etc. You're a bit out of luck if you want a spa, smiths machine, a pool, back massages, or anything like that. There's equipment there, go and use it. That's pretty much it. What I really really hate about this place? It's a bloody mess most of the times. Spotting someone from the gym staff actually putting things back in their place is a rare sight indeed, and weights, dumbbells, kettle-bells, etc, are left all over the freaking place (it would help if people had better gym-etiquette, but they don't). My second gripe... some of the Personal Trainers don't really set much of an example, on the contrary, they tend to do one of the most annoying things you can do in a crowded gym... being a hoarder. "Oh these 25 sets of dumbbells, and these four 5kg plates? Yeah, we'll be using all of that, sorry!". Gah that makes me so mad! Soooo mad! I need to go lift some heavy things right now, to appease this rage! Gah! So yeah, a decent gym if you want to work out and you don't need anything fancy, or any hand-holding at all. Also helps if you're not intimidated by the sound of weights being dropped much louder than necessary (so ALPHA! GRAW!). Get a couple more staff in this place to keep it a bit less chaotic, and I'd definitely bump up the rating to 4 stars. Don't skip leg day!

This is the most recent Flye Fit Gym in Dublin. The…read morebuilding is a converted old warehouse which resulted in an ample open space. They've been adding more and more equipment since it opened, and now there are plenty of weights to choose from without having to wait. They offer some classes like Yoga (not real yoga, but it's good enough for a gym class), Ryde, Boxing or X Fit, these are all included in your membership, you just need to book online. The Ryde class is pretty good, the bikes have an articulated frame that allows you to move and turn almost like in a real bike. Why isn't this a five star review? There are three things that make the whole experience fall away from perfection: 1. The (revolving) doors. Don't be too fat and/or don't bring a very big bag because you may end up having a really hard time trying to go through these. 2. The shower's water temperature. You just press a button and wait for the water to come out, which is really nice and simple in theory, but, as we all know, reality sucks and you get cold water in the start and really hot scalding water by the end. 3. Disorder in the weights area. The gym isn't the only one to blame here, ofc, though it could enforce a bit better the idea of leaving everything in its right place once you're finished. If you have an OCD it will be a nightmare. Else it can be a pain to try and track down that specific weight or bench you need for your workout. Anyway, I strongly recommend this gym. The price is great value and there is no contract - you can stop paying and going anytime you want, and you can do it online with zero fuss. You can manage everything online, for that matter, since changing your access code to the gym (the card you choose to get through the door) to booking classes. I believe it can be a good gym for a beginner too - if you don't have many specific and special needs. The afternoons are always more crowded - but not too much - as well as Saturday/Sunday mornings.
