The changing rooms are brilliant because they are all little individual cubicles; this is particularly good when you have children with you. Another good point for children with this pool is the fact that there is a smaller paddling pool that is very shallow; this means that children have a safer place to swim but also it means that there are no children getting in your way when you're doing lengths in a free swim in the larger pool. I have gone to Aqua Aerobics classes a few times in this pool early in the year, there are two instructors, one is really good and the other is really bad. But sure you can give it ago anyway, any exercise is good exercise right?

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!

The drop in coaching classes seem like they'd be super helpful as well, not something I've seen before- definitely wish they had this at gyms I was able to go to regularly.

Writing this review is very difficult for me, not in an emotional sense but because I've been…read moreclimbing a lot lately and it has led to a condition I call, dinosaur hands. For those of you not familiar with dinosaurs or hands it basically means that my hands are feeling very floppy. Holding a pint of Guinness last night took considerable effort and grip revision. To the uneducated eye some may think that I am overtly expressive in a camp theatrical way with my flailing hands. But enough about my hands, what about the wall? €8 to go each time. €5 one time only membership. Plenty of walls of all different intensity levels for you to practise on (bouldering not rock climbing). They have a free drop in class every Monday for beginners. It's not in the sexiest of locations but the inside is very well done, you can get coffee and parents etc can chill out in the seating area and look on. If you are OK with heights and falling from heights give it a go. If you're not you are more than welcome to watch my hands go dinosaur like as I fall from a height. I think that would be very rewarding for those of you that don't like me.

They also offer a few programs such as diet and weight management, fitness classes, swimming lessons etc., and if you become a member, you can get your own training program. The fitness studio is not too big but they have a good number of cardio machines and weights. The price for walk-in is cheaper the earlier you go (around 5 euro before 5pm, but increases to 8.50 euro in the evenings). The pool is also timetabled specifically for free swim so I think you would have to confirm the timings as theres lessons on pretty often. I went a few times around 5pm and 6pm, and I noticed that around 4-5pm is pretty busy with a lot of teenagers, while after 6pm is less busy and mostly adults in the gym. The lockers cost 1 euro by the way, and they sell swim gear and energy bars and drinks. The only thing was that it's not the cleanest gym and not being able to free swim at any time is quite inconvenient, but other than that it serves it's purpose as a fitness centre well, is great for kids as well as adults, and is quite inexpensive compared to private gyms with no contract needed.

Very disappointed. I'm looking for a place to go climbing with my kids (Who have…read moreclimbing/bouldering experience) and The Wall limits its kids time (anyone under 14) to a few hours a week. The reason is of course safety (There are legitimate safety concerns that the kids and their parents should be well aware of). It is also very much convenience for them. They insist that only their instructors can supervise kids. They conveniently leave the kids times to downtime at their gym. If they want to be seen as a bouldering gym that's keen to introduce people of all ages to the sport, they are falling well short. Really disappointed as they are close and they space looks great.

Great way to spend a Sunday I must say!…read more 27 euro well spent. There are I think 5 different courses all together, so you could spend nearly a full day here if you wanted. They increase in height (though maybe not so much difficulty) as you go on, so if you only had a few hours, and aren't too afraid of medium-heights, I'd recommend starting half way through at least. My other recommendation would be to get up there as early as possible as the queues seem to build and build around the middle of the day, which is a bit of a buzz kill to be honest. It gets freezing too as it's so high up, so definitely bring lots of layers, and a hat, and gloves, and a definitely hot drink in a flask as they don't sell any there for some reason! Aside from all that, the instructors are all very nice and well versed, and the location is top notch. It's not very difficult, besides the very last one, so I'd definitely recommend it for all types and ages.

You'd think fear of heights would be good enough reason to stay away from a pursuit involving…read morehurling yourself from treetop to treetop, fifty feet above ground, along a piece of string. And, in theory, it definitely is, but here's a tip. Simply never look down. It genuinely works. Aside from that, the only group I'd advise against zip-lining is the infirm or very unfit. It does involve a fair bit of heft, and there are moments when you are painfully reminded that there is a large muscle group residing in your middle area, as you try to climb a net you've just bashed into, up to your refuge on a treetop platform. But for anyone in the young therefore naturally fit, or middle aged and reasonably fit, categories, this is an absolute must to try at least once. It is just so much fun, very exhilarating, and a great team or family activity. I suspect it's most exhilarating for those of us who aren't naturally inclined to hurl ourselves along a rope at a great height, but even for the less faint-hearted, challenges await, as there are five levels, the last one for over-15s only, and from what I could see from solid earth, it involves basically cycling across the face of the sun. On a tightrope. Or something like that. It's less than an hour from the city centre, in the beautiful forest of Tibradden, and the staff are great - very attentive, friendly, and clearly keeping a close eye (you are glad to know). You're safe at all times, and it is reassuring to know that you can not for a moment, due to your own stupidity, become unsafe, as you are double clipped on, and one of those is always locked. Give yourself plenty of time, especially if it's your first time (and this applies especially for kids who will be trying hard to put on a brave face), as it takes some getting used to, and confidence builds as you go, so best not to rush it. But for an injection of family togetherness, zip lining if highly recommended, as naturally you go through highs and lows and figure out the journey together, one in which you're destined to prosper. In fact, maybe zip lining is the positive life metaphor we're all searching for. Relationship coming apart at the edges? Fly from tree to tree together for a few hours and you'll be all fixed in no time. Worried your staff don't like you? Bring them zip lining and up to Johnnie Foxes afterwards and watch your popularity levels soar to treetop heights. It's very much a case of feel the fear and do it anyway. And what a high, in every sense, when you do. For to adults and two kids it works out around 90 quid, but you can stay as long as you like, so make a day of it, bring a picnic and enjoy. Small thing: Toilet facilities are not great, it's a portaloo job, and they could have been better kept. Tip: bring your own tissues.
