I love it! It's my Gym for about 2 years now!…read more I wish I would be less lazy and go there more than 3 times a week The staff is always there to help! Not really using the swimming facilities- I should, hopefully when the weather will be a little bit warmer Classes are great- I hate spinning class, but I heard it's really good- I don't cycle at all. Zumba is great, Pilates, Yoga! Weights on the ground floor - packed on Monday to Wednesday evenings (6-8 pm) Thursday Friday better - weekends it depends. All good- most of the equipment is working. You can ask staff to show you how to use it. There is basketball-football court upstairs on the 2d floor - you can reserve it for the kid's party or football fun game - ask reception for the info! You can get your chart ( info.desk on the ground floor)- measure yourself (weight, height, etc.) And you can set your goal and go ahead- with the trainer or by yourself! I have never done it Keep it up guys for the summer bod

The staff at reception (woman) was useless! and quite disrespectful and unsympathetic. Iam changing…read moremy gym!

BAM! 5 STARS!! I've…read morebeen a swimmer on and off since I was about 5 years old (ON for most of my teenage years, OFF when I discovered beer and women, ON again when I took up triathlon to set myself a new challenge), so I have a good idea what makes a good swimming pool, and a fair idea what makes a good gym. Let's start at the start - this is a private members gym; you can't walk in off the street unless you're signed in by a member. You can sign up for some classes by themselves (spin, pilates, etc) as a non-member, but most of the people here are fully paying members. That being said, the membership packages are very flexible - it's basically €230 for an individual for a year of a basic membership, plus either pay-as-you-go, or whatever package you want to put on top for gym/swim/etc. I've been a member since February and I could not be more impressed to be honest. The place is always spotless, the staff are always friendly, the other patrons are always grand (no steroid junkies here!), and the classes are very good; particularly the spin classes which come as part of your full membership. Every facility you could want is here as well: gym, pool, football pitches, tennis and badminton courts, sauna, leisure suite... you name it, it's there! Now onto the pool itself. It's a standard 25 meter pool with a small viewing gallery. The 'adult swim' sessions are the best to go to if you want to go for a proper swim - three lanes will be marked out and most people stick to the slow, medium & fast lanes (it's a pet peeve of mine when they don't!). All in all, a great job in a handy location, and you can customise your own package or pay-as-you-go after the initial membership fee. Only negative is that you have to pay up-front rather than by Direct Debit, but it's not enough of a grievance to deter me from awarding the big 5!

Ah Sportsco is great! I really love it! What I enjoy the most are the classes, they have a good…read morevariety of classes like TRX, zumba, yoga, pilates, spinning, basket, volleyball, swimming, and more... If you are not a member you can pay €10 per class or gym. I found the membership expensive, and didn't like that they don't have student rates. but well... The staff are very helpful and super friendly. They help you and are interested in that you are doing things right and that is good for you. I consider the space very very clean, spacious, comfortable and modern.

During July and August Govindas has a range of meditation and yoga short courses on offer…read more I attended a meditation class run by Tim McEvitt. There is the option to either sign up for the entire course or drop in on a casual basis. The meditation sessions are comprised of two parts - the first involves silent meditation and the second is a journey of relaxation and visualisation. I found the class quite interesting and rather beneficial. The room the classes are held in is inviting and comfortable, and Tim has a very calm, unobtrusive manner. I've been to other meditation classes in the past, and this was one of the simpler classes I've attended. Personally I'd prefer something a little more advanced, but then again, this was the first class of a five week course, so perhaps by the end of the course it will build to something incredible? Classes are held on Wednesday nights, 5.45pm for meditation and 7pm for yoga, and are a tenner for a class (not bad!)

I'm gonna go five stars on this one. I'm not a squatter but I do appreciate this place being…read moresomewhat accessible amongst other things. It's hard to qualify this place as a "squat" per se because it seems cleaner and more public than other squats I've chanced upon. I dropped by for a music workshop that was listed on their site as happening at 7:00, but it actually started at 8:00. When it did commence, it seemed like 5 people or so gathered in to do something that didn't involve a t.v. or laptop computer. Yeah, you read it here first. Take that, Ethan Kath. There is a comfortable Miss Havisham's mansion type atmosphere there ( this used to be Neary's hotel I believe) and the people seemed very easy going. An older gentleman came in with me, and one of the people there seemed to have no problem answering question upon question and tolerated an endless stream of banter.....could be an Irish thing? I don't know. Tea was available. They were polite and I believe that's a big plus for a place that requires no (as far as today) admission prices or monies for services. That being said I wouldn't go here for an indie Starbucks or angry YMCA yoga experience... Do go here to interact with human beings that have probably read more than one non-fiction book within the span of a year and to experience a sense of community based in anarchist priniples. They also have a shaz load of books so you could probably get away with just getting some tea and looking at a book if you're a total hermit and don't like talking to people.

There's nothing else like this in Dublin. It's an autonomous social centre run democratically by…read morevolunteers, right in the middle of town. There's a vegan café, bike workshop, various gigs, infoshop/library, free computer room, and loads of other stuff going on. The atmosphere is good-natured and down-to-earth. Political posters, paintings, banners, and graffiti abound. It's run by anarchists, and it's a friendly place for women, LGBT people, migrants, and other people who are marginalised in this society. It's a bit of a culture shock but that's a large part of what makes it so interesting. The whole ethos of the place is about people treating each other as equals. It's not about spending money. Everything is done by donation. There's a 'free shop' where you can take whatever you want for free and donate what you want. You're bound to meet some cool/interesting people there.

Markievicz in city centre was renovated a few years back...but still looks like old one. Gym floor…read morevery sticky and smelly :( Only quick, general, old mop wash is done. 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 !!!!

The primary advantages of the gym at DIT Kevin St for me were it's proximity and it;s cost…read more Although I was based at Aungier St, Kevin St is just over the road, so it was no bother to pop over there once classes had finished for an hour or so. And as to the cost - Kevin St was just under a hundred a year, whereas Westwood in Clontarf is around €700 per annum (and that's the student; God knows what everyone else has to pay). It's true that Kevin St doesn't have as much in the way of facilities as other gyms (I mean, they have a bench and no barbell. What's the point in that?), but they have a decent range of machines and it's extremely rare that there's a queue for the treadmills. Plus, Kevin St has a pool; quite a small pool, true, but one which is often fairly empty. The only bad thing about the Fit2Go gym is that the powers that be at DIT have cut back the hours of the trainers, so the opening hours of the gym have been cut back as well. By far the cheapest gym around, if you're in the position to avail of it.
