Fantastic school. I put my 2 kids into the classes under Massan and was so impressed I took up the…read moreadult classes myself.

I do adult kickboxing classes three times a week and must say that every class is different and you are guaranteed to get a great workout. Belt testings are on regularly so it is a great incentive to keep training and improving. Not to mention that it is an absolute honour to be trained by GM Massan (10th Dan Black belt) !

I usually do my Kickboxing at college but because of the long breaks between Semesters I had to…read morefind another place to keep me going. Martial Arts Inc. offer a great variety of classes, including my personal favourite Kickboxing for women taught by female instructors- and you can either join group classes or go for one-on-one sessions with one of the instructors, which is especially useful when you're preparing for a grading to move up another belt. They also offer student discount on the group classes, which is an extra bonus for me.

The first time I set foot inside Raw, I thought it was a quiet little coffee-shop. The reason I…read moreconfused a gym for an afternoon hide-out was the man with the flyer outside who dragged me inside with the promise of a free espresso. And an espresso I got plus a grand tour of the premises. To find the gym you need to walk inside the South Richmond Street entrance, go through the room with the coffee machine until you find a door that takes you to a dark alley where you'll find another door, the one that opens the actual gym . Yeah I know, it's pretty strange. But just wait until you finally get inside! Raw is a macho place filled with macho men, stretching their sweaty bodies and flexing their muscles. I can imagine that fitness competitors have a membership here for life. Watching the heavy-built weight-lifters oozing testosterone in every corner, I couldn't help thinking about the Village People video as I felt myself shrink to the floor. For a girl, this wouldn't bee my gym of choice, at least not until I get much more fit. Maybe I should try their Boot Camp class, if the trainers are anything like those who pay for the work-out, I'll loose the Christmas kilos in no-time (I'll report back in a month, if I survive). So, if you wanna be a macho, macho man, make sure to get a membership. Hey! Hey! Hey! I

Don't be fooled by the meatheady exterior - Raw is a really solid gym. I broke up with my posh…read morehotel gym for Raw, and I'm seriously glad I did. Upon first glance the weights section is admittedly intimidating, but for the most part people keep to themselves and you never have to wait for equipment or machines. Plus, it's seriously affordable. I think I paid €299 for 6 months. If you're like me and fear a serious body building setup, I'd say avoid the majority of the ground floor. Around the perimeter is like 15 cardio machines that get the job done, and they have a nice selection of kettle bells along the mirrors though. There is a studio upstairs that has a great selection of classes (though I'll admit I still haven't been to one) and there's also a spin studio if you're into that sort of thing. You're free to use either space if there's not a class on, and it's a personal fave since it has more lady-friendly barbells, mats and space to stretch. All in all, I really like Raw and would definitely recommend.

There was no pressure to keep up with the instructor, which is something I was a bit worried about to be honest. In fact we were encouraged to stay within your own comfortable limits, especially if it was our first class, as long as we kept moving as opposed to just stopping dead. Saying that, I did my best to keep up... hence the aforementioned 4 day muscle recovery time:-) Liked it a lot, and if you find the gym a pain in the derrière, then this is a great alternative.
