Unlock Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I started training at Unlock about 6 months ago and I’m so happy I started. The gym is unlike any gym I’ve been to before. The trainers are so welcoming and supportive. The atmosphere is friendly and not intimidating- as other gyms can be. I would highly recommend to people of all levels of fitness as the programs are created specifically for you and your goals. I’ve also attended many of the yoga classes and found them amazing! The instructors are highly experienced and create a lovely calming space ideal for taking time out and relaxing. Classes are varied, whether you are looking for something fast paced or more restorative there is something for everyone.
Fantastic experience: If you’re thinking about joining Unlock Fitness, go for it! The most supportive and fun place to train. I had been out of the gym for over 3 years and had a real fear about going back. But Darragh and the team are absolutely brilliant, so welcoming, encouraging and friendly that it was the best decision I made for myself this year. I’m back to looking forward to training! It can be tough, but much easier when you know you are being supported and encouraged by an an expert team.
Fantastic experience: I can honestly say this is the best gym I’ve ever trained at. The atmosphere is always positive and motivating. Darragh and the team put so much care and energy into making sure everyone feels welcome and supported. The equipment is top notch and there’s a real sense of community that makes you want to keep showing up. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get stronger, healthier, and part of something great.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending for four years now, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. The classes are flexible, and the trainers are fantastic. They design personalized programs tailored to your goals The gym has a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that makes it easy to stay motivated. Classes always start on time, and the location in Rathcoole is very convenient. I’d highly recommend to all levels of fitness.
Fantastic experience: Completed the summer 6 week shred with darragh and it’s been great, lots of help and feedback. Really pushed in the gym which has been such a struggle. Would highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Training with Unlock Fitness & Yoga for the last 2 years. The classes are great and the coaches tailor your program to you for example if you have an up coming trail race ⛰️ or just trying to get yourself in shape Also it's in a great location located above Avoca if you want to sneak down to the cafe for a coffee and cake .
Fantastic experience: An excellent place to train. Especially for those who want the personalisation, coaching and motivation, rather being in a gym clueless. Darragh - a total task master.. but we wouldn't have it any other way.!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here postpartum and couldn’t be happier. The gym has a great atmosphere, and the staff are very supportive, knowledgeable, and really attentive to my needs. I highly recommend it
Fantastic experience: Darragh and the team have created a friendly and welcoming environment. The team are attentive and helpful without being too pushy. I'd definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been a Member of Unlock Fitness & Yoga for almost 12 Months. I have had Membership of many Gyms in the past 20 Years and Unlock Fitness is by far the best. Keep up the good Work Darragh.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place and location, staff are extremely friendly with a wealth of knowledge in everything in relation to fitness/Health/Training. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Great place to train, everyone would feel welcome in here. The trainers are very very competent and great people
Fantastic experience: This gym is great in my opinion, the coaches are helpful, the people are lovely, the whole place just has a positive atmosphere to it, thought I would recommend humbling yourself on the hack-squat and pull-ups, they can be deadly and decieving. Lunges and bulgaraian split squats are my all-time favourites though would 100/10 recommend them. It is a great way to spend the cold winter months instead of being couped up in the house as well as an amazing way to socialize. Starting the day with a yoga or training session can really be a positive start to the day
Fantastic experience: Do it. Send that email and book a trial class. If you dont, you won't understand what trying Unlock Fitness can do for you. Do i recommend Daragh and his team? Absolutely! From the very start i received such great mentoring and support. Daragh will guide you through every step and encourage you all the way to do better, for yourself. He sees what you are capable of, even when you can't. The atmosphere at the club is very friendly, welcoming and the setting itself is top class. It is attended by all ages with every level of fitness from zero to really high and we all blend very comfortably together as we focus on our individual routines. You always feel included and there are usually a few laughs thrown in - which is a huge bonus for me. As a total gymophobe, it has been a welcome surprise how important it is to me now to be consistent and keep showing up. I am lifting weights and doing exercises that i never thought in a million years I could do. One of the biggest gifts is that my stress levels have improved massively along with a huge difference in the level of my back/hip pains. One of the best decisions I made in 2024 was to send that email and try a session. So many positive things happened from taking that first action.
Fantastic experience: Delighted I took the plunge to join this gym! Darragh and all of the team are so supportive and knowledgeable. They provide updated training programs regularly to challenge me and I've found strength I didn't even know I had! I'd recommend this place to anyone who is nervous or unsure about starting strength training (like I was), you won't regret it!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. But it's much more than that. It's a welcoming space, no matter your fitness level. It's support and guidance to reach your goals. The timetable is great, lots of choices. The prices are very good and its great to get a tailored made plan so you know you are working on the right things. I started and gave up many regular gyms in the past but I have stayed here and will continue to. I look forward to my sunrise sessions now, from a person who loves their bed
Fantastic experience: I recently joined unlocked fitness small PT group training. I highly recommend this training group for anyone looking for personalised attention in a motivating atmosphere. Whether you are an advanced trainer or never picked up a weight in your life Darragh makes everyone feel at ease no matter what your ability. Taking this class is one of the best decisions I have made and seeing the results I have achieved so far make it’s all the more worth while.
Fantastic experience: Darragh and the team are absolutely superb, and there is a great atmosphere in the gym/yoga studio. Everyone is very friendly, and we often have a great laugh while doing our weights. Could not recommend the set up more highly. 5 Stars.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best ! I am with the gym for 2 years now and I am so happy ! Darragh and Karina are a great support and they helped me to reach my sports goals. Darragh is always so considerate when is preparing my workouts and both are a great support ! Unlock fitness is my happy place and I love my 6 am training as well the pump classes! I’m grateful to be able to have a gym so close that suits my schedule and I can be in gym at 6 am !
Fantastic experience: I recently joined this gym, and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is brilliant, and everyone is extremely friendly. Darragh and the team are really knowledgeable and such a great support. The plans are specially tailored to you, which is great! I've been to a few different gyms and this is honestly the most comfortable I've felt in one, I couldn't fault it!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with excellent coaches who are extremely knowledgeable and patient, but also up for having a bit of craic and making each session fun.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, very welcoming, great atmosphere & flexible timetables. Darragh & the team are excellent coaches who help you get the most out of your sessions. I couldn’t recommend highly enough
Fantastic experience: Gym is fantastic, no matter where your starting point/ or what your goals may be you will find it here,with the professional, genuine set up by real people, it's unlike any gym experience I have tried in the past, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Best place I’ve found since coming to Dublin! Super staff and sound people training there!! Very motivating place to be where they take a genuine interest in your goals
Fantastic experience: What can I say, joining Unlock Fitness has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Darragh, Karina and all the coaches are professional, approachable and kind. They listen, understand your goals and create completely tailored work outs in order for you to achieve what you’ve set out to do. Classes are purposefully small so that everyone gets the support and attention they need. With the new space and different classes like yoga, pilates and pump, this gym has so much to offer and is filled with incredible people. You won’t regret signing up!
Fantastic experience: Best gym around always having a laugh and darragh and all the PT are brilliant couldn’t recommend it more
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend highly enough. Great range of classes/sessions to suit any schedule. Really friendly, supportive atmosphere. Tailored plans and small group personal training makes everything less daunting and easy to stick to. Not your usual gym. Really enjoying it!
Fantastic experience: Great, friendly atmosphere and a great team on hand to point you in the right direction every step of the way. Group PTs are a great way to get in shape, plans tailored for you.

Fantastic experience: So happy I joined this gym earlier on this year! It has a really lovely atmosphere and programmes are catered to each individual and their goals! I look forward to continuing my training journey at unlock fitness and would highly recommend to anyone considering joining! ☺️
Fantastic experience: After my second baby I wasn't happy in my own skin and wanted to get stronger to run around with the little ones. I met Darragh and we put together a plan to help me get back into training. Everyone has been really supportive and always happy to go over exercises or change them up. Getting up for the 6am classes is tough but everyone is great craic & I leave energized for the day and usually with sore stomach muscles from the laughs. Did my first 'Hell&Back' with the gang and loved it!! I feel so much happier & stronger
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Unlock Fitness, the best place to train in Rathcoole. Everything you need to stay fit and feel good in one place. The place is nice, clean with variety of classes and great community spirit!
Fantastic experience: I joined unlock fitness back in February and love it since. I love how it's tailored to each individual. Everyone has there own rack and your plan is left out for you prior to your workout. Darragh or Karina who are extremely experienced in the fitness industry are on the floor to give you a hand or advice when needed. Very relaxing atmosphere and spotless clean. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Really positive experience training with Unlock fitness. Always willing to help with goals and fitness plans. And would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I have been a member now for the past 5 months and I’ve never been happier in a gym. Daragh & Karina are both so knowledgeable, supportive & welcoming and make the gym a fun space for everyone to train in!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Darragh and Karina at Unlock Fitness. Great gym and fully supportive atmosphere. I joined after a year of pain from a herniated disc and have made huge progress physically (lost over 51kg so far while maintaining muscle and getting stronger) and also psychologically getting over the fear of moving. This gym is fully inclusive and welcomes everyone regardless of age, goals or level of fitness.
Fantastic experience: Joined Unlock Fitness this year and my experience here has been incredibly positive and fun. I had been in a gym before this with no access to trainers and I felt like I needed a change. Darragh and Karina are so helpful and approachable it feels like I've been going there for years. They've really helped me with my form and encourage me to try new things and go heavier! The atmosphere is always light and fun in there even at 6am! If you feel you need a community to work out and some help to improve then Unlock Fitness is the place to be.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Darragh, Karina and the team are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Unlock Fitness for over 2 years now and I feel like a new person. I sleep better and eat better and I have a better outlook on life. I've started thinking more positively about myself and I look forward to my sessions each week. Darragh and Karina are very easy to talk to and work with. They're very professional and supportive and know what they're doing! The Small Group PT sessions are a fantastic option for people that want the best Personal Training without breaking the bank. The gym also offers Strength and Conditioning classes throughtout the week. Unlock Fitness has a great community, with monthly challenges to keep everyone motivated and group activities like Hell & Back and Yoga Retreats. This is a 5 star gym run by a 5 star team! Huge thanks to Darragh and Karina for all the work you do to make the gym a productive and supportive place!
Thanks Shona for a great review! You've done us so proud the last few years. Very excited to see what else we can achieve together. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: First class gym. Darragh & Karina are excellent at what they do.
Fantastic experience: I started with Unlock Fitness as a 59 year old with osteoporosis, I was more than 2 stone overweight and very unfit. 2 years on and i am quite fit, dropped some weight, reduced my body fat, increased my muscle mass and at my last dexa scan my bone mass has improved so well that it only osteopenia
Fantastic experience: Great set up to have locally. Class sizes are ideal means no waiting for equipment. Sessions provided by the coaches are specific to your needs and goals and theyre always happy to provide tweaks and support shoul you need it. The Unlock community is great and the people are very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Been attending since May 2022. Nothing but positive things to say about it. Darragh is a great coach and has helped resolve knee issues I've had for nearly 20 years in a matter of months!
Fantastic experience: Great personal trainers here, everyone has a personally designed programme to suit their needs and goals. the group training is excellent great family vibe, no one judges or laughs and you but cheers you on as you hit goals. Darragh and karina have made this a great gym and also helped me with diet suggestions aswell they are masters at what they do. thanks again guys for all you do for us!!!!!
Fantastic experience: I've never been a "sporty" person or mad into fitness before, but I think I've been transformed by this place! I've definitely become the strongest best version of myself thanks to unlock fitness!
Fantastic experience: Not your average gym! Darragh & Karina have created a truly unique and original gym experience, such a warm and friendly atmosphere. You will be pushed to your limits and beyond, encouraged and supported every step of the way. Unlock Fitness has changed my perception of fitness and the whole gym experience. So happy to be a part of the community they have created here in Rathcoole.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, very professional and personal training classes. I love it because of the relaxed and positive vibes that is going on, the gym has it all! Excellent coaches
Fantastic experience: I joined Unlock Fitness a year ago, on a friend’s recommendation. Darragh, Karina and the team are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The plans they have curated for me are fun, interesting, and always progressive. The atmosphere and comraderies are second to none. Everyone, new and old, is made to feel welcome. The gym itself has everything you need, even a nasty ski machine! The classes can only accommodate 4 so you're never waiting on weights or machines, and you have your own squat rack and work area. Also because of the small classes, instructors are always on hand for advice and to pay attention and correct form if needed. I would highly recommend Unlock Fitness
Thanks Cian, great to have you as a member. Can't believe it's been over a year already!
Fantastic experience: Unlock fitness is one of the best gyms I have been a member of. Darragh has designed a great community where everyone feels welcome and his classes and programmes are perfectly designed to your personal goals. He is very enthusiastic and knowledgable. I highly recommended him if you want to get in shape properly, work hard and be encouraged, there is a nice buzz happening there which I find makes it easier to train. 10/10
Thanks G , community and atmosphere wouldn't be the same without you.

Thanks Erin, you're killing it! Keep up the great work
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, great atmosphere and the best of trainers
Thanks Ash, you're a great trainer yourself
Fantastic experience: Such a great gym to have locally. I was initially apprehensive trying another gym, as I never got a lot from it, and always found gyms a bit intimidating. Unlock Fitness it the total opposite of anything I've ever join before. It's a very friendly and welcoming place. Darragh and Karina have created a really supportive gym that actually cares and is interested in their client's progression. I love the Small PT classes, they are challenging and they give you a sense of training and not just going through the motions like in other places. There's also plenty of fun and chats too. They have other great sessions on offer too from Personal PT, Strength and Conditioning, Restorative Yoga to Boxercise. There is something for everyone, from total beginner to more advanced. Nothing is ever a problem for Unlock Fitness, they are only dying to get you training and to see you progress....what are you waiting for!
Fantastic experience: The best gym I have ever trained in. Darragh and Karina give a level of professional and dedication thats hard to come by. The best

Fantastic experience: I've been training here a year now and I cant recommend it enough!!! Darragh is a true professional and knows exactly what he's doing. Always a nice, welcoming atmosphere.
Thank you Johnny. It's a pleasure working with you!
Fantastic experience: Darragh at Unlock Fitness has put my post-pandemic life back on track and aided me in getting focused not just on my physical health but mostly on my mental health. Highly recommend his 1-1 training, he’s dedicated, super knowledgeable, and doesn’t give the usual spiel that other professionals might. Thanks bud!
