Andy also runs a Strentgh and Conditioning class in Sportsco on Thursdays at 6pm. I went along…read moreyesterday for the first time, with a degree of trepidation, after hearing they'd involve something called 'suicide sprints'. Had never heard of them before and Google didn't exactly make them sound pleasant. It turns out they're something I'd have known as shuttle runs and done once upon a time with football and taekwondo. Still, it had been a while since I'd done circuit training. So along I went and there were 13 in the class of varying ages and fitness levels. That didn't matter. If you're unfit and giving it 100%, you'll get as much out of it as someone younger and fitter giving it 100%. I was drenched in sweat and knackered at the end of it but I felt good. I'll be stiff today and maybe a bit more tomorrow but I'll definitely go there again!

Not only are his classes top-notch (and a steal for the price), he's also very personable and makes sure his clients know how to get the most out of their workouts, both in and out of the gym. His spinning classes rank with the best I've taken in New York and California: his non-nonsense, gimmick-free training is directed toward real cyclists, and that means the rest of us get the best workouts, as well. None of that "up for four, hover for four, pedal backwards as you pushup on the handlebars" crap here: just pure, honest, sweat-puddle spinning. Find him on Facebook--he'll give you your first class for free!

As a gym it is…read morespacious and well equipped from the machines, free weights, stretch areas and their funky studio area this gym is winning! 2 weeks in and I'm loving it. Each member can meet with a trainer to devise a programme, they are on point with this and will listen to what you best enjoy doing and the type of routines that might work. I'm not such a fan of cardio work but have always enjoyed resistance style workouts which the trainer, Conor took on board and I'm enjoying the blend he put together and he made resistance training core of my programme. I've tried both the zumba and the kettlebells class so far, man they work you good. Loved both and plan on becoming a regular at the kettlebells. There are always instructors about, they are approachable and are always happy to help or tweak your technique. The facilities are top notch, changing rooms are clean and spacious. Great blow dry bar area/dressing table space plus available is a sauna jacuzzi and swimming pool so I know it appears a little pricey for some but when you take into consideration the standard of the gym equipment and quality of the facilities, if you workout regularly then this is the place to be. Oh plus nice to know, they have a salon which is open gym hours and they run great Mon-Wed special offers!

Ok this is more of a 3.5 than a 3, but I have to talk about the reception staff here. Surely…read moreensconced within the 'receptionist' role, is a warm RECEPTION for your guests? Those who pay the bills? Each time I've come in here, I've had one gripe or another. Either they are too busy chatting amongst themselves to say hello or goodbye, or they're just not super arsed in being friendly. I get that they're busy, but this is not a cheap gym by any stretch of the imagination so it would be nice to be received with a bit more courtesy. I arrived today at 1.42pm to register for spinning class at 2pm. They say that registration opens 15 mins before each class, so despite being there and ready to go, the receptionist turned to another spinner and I telling us we'd have to wait to register. Now this isn't some high tech scenario on a computer that literally doesn't open til the set time - it's jotting your name down on a piece of paper. I would like to say in full disclosure that the receptionist was tending to someone else at the time, but if she had enough time to turn to us and tell us we'd have to wait til quarter to for signing our name, surely she'd have had enough time to pass us the registration paper. Thankfully which is what another staff member did, once he heard the comment from his colleague. It took him about 0.2 seconds to pass us the sheet. A bit of common sense wouldn't go astray in situations like this. I'm still a major fan of this gym and most of the staff so far have been great, but it would be great if there was a bit less of a "Computer Says Noooooo" attitude in here (What an episode that was!)

I need to update this review with major news!…read more After a hard training, I usually go as far as the shower and don't even take the time to dry my hair before I go home. This time I felt like pushing my boundaries, wearing my bikini in public, and going to the spa. 1* For the spa: It's called spa but it's basically a huge swimming pool, a sauna, a steam room, a jaccuzzi, and tropical showers - meaning different water temperature. The place is warm - not too warm ! - and clean. I have a bit of an OCD when it comes to hygiene and this place has my stamp of approval. 1* For the sauna: Dry heat as you would expect. The interior is made of wood and the heat place is made of stones. There are 3 different levels and - of course - as the heat goes up the highest seats are warmer. It's not too hot so you can have a good sweat. Don't stay too long though and do not wear jewelry - you will get burnt. 1* For the showers: I love to alternate sauna / medium heat shower to cold / steam room. Some people like to take a cold shower right away but I don't appreciate the extreme change in temperature. I go for medium heat shower and possibly cold after that, it has to be step by step. 1* For the steam room: What a great sensation to be in a steam room! The heat and humidity is no overwhelming and that's a plus. You can't stay very long - as per usual - but you can still handle a good moment. Also there is an ambiance music played in the room to help fully relax. This place is a treat ! You eliminate the bad toxines in your body, you work on your breathing system, and you relax all at once. I haven't tried the swimming poor nor the jaccuzzi but that should happen very soon. 1* For the hair dryer: OMG Those hair dryers are so amazing it only take a few minutes to get my hair completely dry. And my hair is long to my waist. And not easily cooperative when it comes to drying! I need to take a picture of how everything is set up, but in short you can find 4/5 hair dryers and 1 hair straightener along a long mirror. You have space to put your brush or other hair/make-up products and get ready. Even when it's busy girls always make space for one another. Very friendly changing room ! 1* For the free trial: I asked for a few trial tickets for my boyfriend. They couldn't give any because this gets sent from the headquarter. At first I thought it was a bummer but then I remembered that a couple of months ago I received free trial tickets by post and a 5 day pass as well ! Should I remove a star ? It's true there should be more flexibility on that aspect but on the other hand they send a lot of incentives by post. I leave this star for now :D 1* For the beauty centre: Today I noticed a new poster in the entrance promoting a new beauty centre. Opening soon facilities for waxing, semi-permanent make-up, manicure, and pedicure. There was something else but I don't remember... Anyway, depending on the price I might want to take a look and report to my fellow yelpers :) That's all for now. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them ! #yelpmeplease #eliteyelper #yelp

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.
