I always thought pilates was easy, these classes really work your core and muscles, you come out feeling great, knowing you've worked hard and have seen a huge improvement, not only in my posture but also my core strength which transfers into my other gym training. The trainers are so knowledgable, so friendly, and go around each person to ensure they are doing each exercise correctly. You can manage you account online and book into classes, it is advisable to book online as the classes fill up really fast. They even have an App, so there is no excuse!! The first class for each mat/reformer class is at a reduced rate, so you can try it out and the bundles are great value. I would highly recommend the Pilates Centre, be it for one day a week as relation exercise, for some me time, or to work on injuries, improve core strength.

I attended a Pilates class here while on vacation and was extremely impressed…read more Firstly the space is beautiful, impeccable, modern and big. It is in a converted cottage which makes it even more special as it has a lot of character. I have done countless Pilates classes over the years with many different instructors in NYC, but still picked up new information, guidance and understanding, while attending Hannah's class here! Joe and his staff are wonderful and I can't recommend this center highly enough. Caitriona K.

A while ago before the other Health and Fitness companies. We got Mr. Dunnes gym on the area. With…read morethis fantastic facility i could really recognise the big effort he did setting up his gyms. the weights and machines are great as well as the Jacuzzis, steam room treadmills, steppers and rowing. the changing rooms are nice with big lockers. It has its own parking which is a good advantage to just leave your car there, do you work out plus gym business and straight to your car. some other places you have to park on the street and pay!!!. the pool area is great and I can say that is one of the best. Even being a 25 mts pool you can enjoy a good long swim. Offers are always on the ball to join this place, keep an eye if you live or work near by!!! keep fit and healthy!!!

With the inconsistent weather in Dublin making it difficult to fulfill my outdoor exercise routine,…read moreI heard of Westpoint Heath & Fitness Centre from a friend. I ended up signing up with another person and ended up getting a great deal for 2 memberships for the duration of 1 year. The facilities are well maintained and you have a variety of equipment to use. The ground floor has treadmills, steppers, rowing machines, cross trainers, a pool, jacuzzi and steam rooms. All of the free weights can be found on the second floor. Included in the price of the membership are unlimited classes including toning and weights classes, yoga and pilates, spinning and step classes. These classes are brilliant as it's like a personal training session included in the price of your membership. Although there are certain times that are busier than others, the hours they are open are more than enough to find something that suits everyone. Open 7 days a week, including bank holidays, you have no excuses not to get down to Westpoint. You can even get your hair and nails done after your workout as they have salons for men and women on the premises!

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.

I chanced upon this page and just thought that I'd add a short review about Iveagh Fitness Club…read morebecause previous reviews on this thread are outdated (since Iveagh was taken over and transformed). Iveagh is a completely different place both aesthetically and in terms of service since it was taken over in about 2016 or 2017 (not sure when). I have never reviewed anything online but I feel compelled to post my first review because I think that Iveagh deserves credit for its amazing transformation and I think that it is also fair (for prospective members who might enjoy its wonderful facilities) to post something that is up to date, since the reviews on this thread are from 2015 and as far back as 2009 when it was a completely different operation. I'm going to be completely honest by divulging the fact that I have done work for Iveagh over the years since it was acquired. I produced many videos for them to promote their facilities, their classes and their personal trainers. My reason for stating this is just in case anyone thinks that this reads like a post is from a direct employee of Iveagh. It's not. Regarding previous comments, the swimming pool and Spa area (which was historically opened in 1905) was completely overhauled last year and is just beautiful. It is a protected building and whilst everything had to be kept structurally intact, it was updated so very tastefully. The facilities are top notch and the staff are amazing. I won't link to any pages, just so that this doesn't look like an advertisement. You can look them up for yourself. I just wanted to update this review thread because I felt that the reviews were unfair, only because they were outdated and don't reflect the newly updated Fitness Club and its wonderful staff.

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.

I've been going to this place for over 2 years now, and i'm amazed that i'm the first to review it…read more If you live in the city centre, Ben Dunne Jervis pretty much wipes the floor with it's competition in terms of location and value for money....and it really is ruddy cheap!. It's the only gym i could find that didn't have a reg. fee and has classes for free (ranging from spin classes to pilates to box and burn), and still has a wide range of well-maintained equipment. Before you join, however, do ask yourself if you are willing to put up with the fact that it is completely jointed from 5 to 7:30 in the evening, and it attracts the kind of clientele who you will find very superficial and tend to keep within their own nationalities. It's probably better to join the gym if you work irregular hours and have time in the afternoon or weekends to use the gym. EIther way, its a really good gym.

What can I say? They grew on me! The first time I went in I met someone no longer working there…read morewho gave a bad impression. The experience I had with David was in stark contrast and absolutely fantastic. My consultation was unhurried and in depth. He picked up on a few weaknesses and gave great nutritional and lifestyle advice. My training session a week later was fun! The programme I was given was entirely personalised to me. It was the opposite to a "cookie cutter" programme that you see handed out in many gyms or in books. I was given exercises that specifically addressed my personal issues and were part physical therapy, part training. They were adapted to suit me as we went along and modifications suggested. I left feeling enthusiastic and with a new confidence in my abilities! I love it that they are so contactable-I was able to email David afterwards with questions and they are very active on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dublin-Ireland/The-Edge-Clontarf/114810641871232) and Twitter (@TheEdgeClontarf) where they post videos and give advice. They really do care about their clients and get genuinely excited when they achieve goals. They're like the ultimate cheer squad! People who put the personal into personal training and actually care about their clients. Win! P.S: Forgot to mention: they're annoyingly accurate in their body fat testing too. I've had a couple of body composition Dexa scans at different levels so I kind of have a vague idea what level I'm at myself. I'd estimate that Dave was pretty much bang on. Dexa is increasingly seen as the gold standard (i.e. best) test these days so they probably get to add "gold standard fingers" to their list of attributes. Has a certain ring to it I think!
