Activate

Fantastic experience: Good Gym with nice atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I have taken part in introductory drop in classes under the stewardship of Jacinta and have found the experience wonderful. There is a very clear community gym spirit evident and the workouts are dynamic and challenging yet doable. You won’t go wrong signing up with Activate. A really good way to meet like minded people also.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable staff. Lovely community atmosphere. Fully equipped with every machine, weights etc. Timetable of classes to suit all schedules.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Activate for a drop-in class. I felt welcome from the first minute, the atmosphere was fantastic and the staff really helpful to make it possible for me to join. The space is new, large and well equipped so even the special workout that day with close to 40 people on the floor ran smoothly. Great community, great coach, great time, so I'll definitely drop in again if I visit Killarney and can only recommend to do the same if you're in the area. Thanks for the fun!

Fantastic experience: I joined activate for a month while I was back home from Australia. Such a lovely gym. The facility itself is superb with everything you could need in a CrossFit gym. The programming was also brilliant going through technical CrossFit movements but also giving options and progressions for all levels. But most of all the people are what made it so great, from day one both the members and coaches were so so welcoming. Everyone is so friendly. They were also so good and had a membership that suited me as I was only in the areas for 4 weeks. Can’t recommend this gym enough.

Fantastic experience: Availed of the drop in service on a recent holiday to Killarney! The guys couldn’t have been any more welcoming and have great facilities! Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Brian & Roisin are the best in the business in Killarney. They're great at meeting people where they are in their fitness journey (even if you're a complete beginner) and make exercise enjoyable and effective. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Fantastic experience: Activate Killarney embodies everything that is CrossFit; great coaches, welcoming community and accessibility for all fitness levels. The classes had a good focus on technique, many scaling options and the programmed workouts were enjoyable. I have dropped in to lots of boxes and this one is my favourite, I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often!

Fantastic experience: Always have an amazing experience at Activate, been my go to for drop ins when visiting Killarney over the years. The coaches are all super knowledgeable and supportive and the community is always very welcoming. Workouts are always challenging and adaptable to all levels. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Killarney or anywhere on the fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Great spot to drop in if you’re visiting Killarney, plenty of classes to choose from and a welcoming group with great coaches.

Negative experience: I was visiting Killarney for two weeks and contacted Activate to inquire about using their facilities. I explained that I having been Olympic Weight Lifting for 5 years and have a program designed for my goals, and just needed access to a gym with the equipment. Staff member took all my information and said they would get back to me. It’s been over a week and I still haven’t heard back. Thankfully, I didn’t wait to hear back and proactively reached out to some other gyms as well and was able to find everything I needed at the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre. Update: I am updating this review after reading the response provided by Brian, which includes a lot of inaccurate information. The person that I spoke with did not share their name, so I cannot confirm whether or not it was Angela. I’m not sure what the person I spoke with advised Brian, but either she lied or he is now lying to try and shift the narrative. At no point did I ask the Activate employee to contact other gyms, nor did they offer to do so. The reason I gave them my contact details was so that they could confirm their own services, as the person I spoke with wasn’t sure about them. Further, while the website confirms drop-ins are permitted, it was unclear about whether I could drop-in and do my own workout (I.e. not follow the workout the rest of the group is doing). The website also does not clearly state whether the gym is accessible when no classes are taking place. I don’t appreciate Brian trying to guilt me into removing this review. I would hope that rather than being defensive and trying to hide what really happen, their team would take this as a learning opportunity to update their website and improve their customer service - treating tourists who visit Killarney as well as locals.

Fantastic experience: The crossfit classes are excellent, and the instructors are very professional. It's in a good location in Killarney, and there are lots of time slots for those available in the mornings or late afternoons. Personal training is also available too.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in while in Killarney and was really impressed with the equipment and quality of the session. Coach Ty was excellent and there was fantastic energy about the place!

Fantastic experience: The great and friendly staff, combined with the welcoming members, created an atmosphere that made me feel like part of a fitness family. The facilities were excellent, and the overall vibe of the box was positive and encouraging. I would highly recommend this CrossFit box to anyone looking for a 5-star experience in Killarney.

Fantastic experience: Professional Physio, A warm welcome, Tailored care,. I sent my information in, History of Health, etc, in doing so, Sam was able to help me and show me the Right Techniques I have to follow and I'm delighted I highly recommend Sam. As Sam was highly recommended to me by a friend and the Taxi driver. I can't say much more than that, You will be in the right place. Thanks Sam see you soon.

Fantastic experience: Activate has been great for me! When I first joined I was easing back jnto training after a back injury. The structure of the classes and ability to scale each workout was ideal! Coaches were and remain so friendly and knowledgeable and super professional at all times ! Barbell was daunting at first but I neednt have worried as the coaches tailor movements to all abilities. Can't recommend Activate highly enough !

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time at Activate! Can honestly recommend the place to anyone looking to improve, regardless of what experience you have. Everyone in there is really positive and motivated, organised and professional. I found Angela to be really helpful, friendly and great with communication, and coach Keegan was a top notch trainer. Definitely book an appointment and check out what they have to offer.

Fantastic experience: Workouts are great, coaches are cool. 5 stars all round

Fantastic experience: Only joined recently but loving the sessions. Good fun but very professional with a huge emphasis on technique and working within your limitations. You feel in very safe hands. Great value for money as a class can work out at €7.50 a go Family vibes but you feel free to do what you want to do( not too sure on the “ air high fives “ ..yet) A cult but a good cult

Fantastic experience: Activate is, quite simply, a superb gym! The coaches are professional, approachable and friendly and always willing to offer training advice and tips.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Great facilities and brilliant coaches who are unbelievably welcoming. Their knowledge is top quality & second to none. Personally I had never done PT's or anything like Crossfit before and I was made to feel welcome & comfortable from the word go. The workouts themselves are great, really interesting & keep motivating you to come back for more. I've never in my life looked forward to going to the gym, but with Activate Killarney I look forward to it every week. All the coaches are excellent but in particular Shane who has been a fantastic coach for my PT's so far. 100% would recommend this to anyone, no matter what your age or fitness level.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic facility with really knowledgeable coaches. No matter what your level of fitness or what your goals may be, Brian and the team help you every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: Such a gem of a gym in Killarney. Everyone is super friendly and the coaches are all top class. Be prepared to get a great sweat and meet some amazing people!

Fantastic experience: I wish i lived in killarney just to be member. Great atmosphere. Coach Dara was so welcoming and kind as were all the members. A must go place !!!

Fantastic experience: I have being training for years in your conventional gym and was beginning to lack motivation and falling out of love for training. So I decided to take a leap of faith in Activate to reignite my flame and passion. Am I glad I did this. Best decision so far in 2020!! The community, always a friendly hello from members, coaches always present to answer any questions or to motivate you during classes which are limited to 15 max so it's like a group PT session. The many functions they organise like the Wine and WOD, Bring your Bestie ect. I believe such enthusiastic coaches and change in training style (Crossfit) has given me a new spring in my hip thrust and I'm falling back in love with the DOMS. I also joined there Killarney Barbell Club (Olympic Lifting) max 10 per class which is coached at a ratio of 1:3. If you are beginning your fitness journey or a seasoned athlete I could not recommend Activate enough. Thanks Brian and Róisín for bringing back the old but hopefully improved version of myself. Anne-Marie xx

Fantastic experience: Excellent crossfit classes ran by Ro and Brian. Great place to go when you have reached a plateau with your normally gym/exercise routine. Friendly environment but still challenges you and puts you out of your comfort zone.
