Gym Plus Rathfarnham

Fantastic experience: It's been almost six months since I joined Gym Plus in Rathfarnham and I'd love to share a few words about my experience. First and foremost, the staff is absolutely wonderful, so friendly and welcoming that they make you feel right at home. In fact, it's the first gym I've ever been to where the staff is this genuinely nice. The gym itself is top-notch. It's always spotless and tidy, which is super important to me. There's plenty of natural light, so you never feel like you're in a cramped or dark space. I never have to wait for equipment either, because there's always plenty available. I also love the added amenities like the sauna and the steam room, as well as the swimming pool. Overall, the vibe of the gym is exactly what you'd want, it makes you excited to come back and work out. Everyone there is so welcoming, and it truly creates a motivating atmosphere. And speaking of great experiences at Gym Plus, I have to mention Raphael, the personal trainer I’ve been working with. Having spent my entire life in the gym and tried various trainers and countless online resources, I thought I knew it all. But Rafael proved me wonderfully wrong. For context, I follow a strict intermittent fasting schedule, fasting for 20 hours a day and only eating in a four-hour window. Many would assume that this might hinder muscle growth, but with Rafael, I saw remarkable progress. His approach was a game-changer. Instead of relying on heavy weights and progressive loads, he introduced simple exercises, often without machines and I was stunned by the results. The weights were lighter than I expected but the intensity was unmatched. It turns out that even when you think you have the right form and position, there were subtle details I was missing. Raphael guided me through slower, more precise movements and by the end of the second session, I felt muscle engagement like never before. In just three months, I achieved more than I had in the past three years. Beyond his expertise, Raphael is genuinely a great person. He listens, understands my lifestyle choices, and never makes me feel out of place. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing! My personal trainer Renan Daga is an exceptional professional. The workouts are tailored to my goals and needs, and he pays close attention to every exercise. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve made great progress in building lean muscle and improving my technique and posture. A dedicated, motivating and highly competent trainer! The aerobics/weights classes with Raphael are fantastic. He is full of energy, explains every movement clearly and keeps the whole group motivated from start to finish. The variety of workouts makes each session dynamic and fun, and I can feel my endurance improving every week. I highly recommend these classes to anyone looking for great results and a positive atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Loving it here. Each coach/trainer brings something different to their class. And the place is always so clean. There is a great sense of community here among the regulars. And I’ve never been is such good shape! Special thanks to Raphael, Irene, Miriam and Jesse.

Negative experience: I am writing down to raise a concern in Regarding a line dancing Teacher called Irina. Yesterday, during s line dancing section a found Irina”s to be a quite rude and disrespectful. After the section She spoke to me in manner that I found inappropriate telling me that I had to follow all the steps.If I wanted to participate in the dancing, while I understand the importance of follow instructions. I believe this message could have been delivered in a more respectful and supportive tone. Fabiana

Fantastic experience: Joining gymplus in January, was one of the best decisions I've made this year! Its an excellent gym with really lovely reception staff and trainers. I've really enjoyed going to the classes, and each trainer brings something unique to their class - the trainers ive come across have been excellent. I’ve also been training with Jessie recently, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond to help me prepare for — and recover from — recent surgery. Jessie is kind, professional, fun, and highly experienced, and she always makes me feel completely comfortable. Her gentle, friendly manner and expertise make every session enjoyable and motivating. The classes in general are all varied and fun. Aqua fit is brilliant - usually rotates between 2 or 3 different instructors, each with different styles, so a really good mix. Pilates, body sculpt, and core are my favourites, and they have recently introduced some new classes and trainers, so im really looking forward to trying these. I've become so much fitter, lost my excess weight, met lots of new ( & old) friends there, and always look forward to going. A real little gem in our community. 5 stars all the way from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Gym Plus Rathfarnham for about 9 months. The gym is well equipped and well maintained. There are plenty of classes all throughout the day with lots of variety. All the instructors are enthusiastic and friendly. Special mention to Raphael, who is outstanding; his classes are varied and challenging; he noticed I was struggling with some exercises and was very helpful, suggesting adaptations which made a huge difference to me.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. The staff are all lovely and friendly, gym is always clean and tidy, machines are rarely if ever broken and if they are they’re fixed very promptly, never waiting long for a machine or bench even at peak times, couldn’t recommend more.

Fantastic experience: Gosto muito do ambiente

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Rapha for about 5 months and have seen a huge change. His sessions are always varied and challenging, mixing strength, HIIT, and endurance work in a way that keeps me improving week by week. My endurance and speed have really gone up, and I feel much stronger overall. Rapha is generous with his time, always supportive, and genuinely a great trainer. I’d highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: The Saturday Hyrox class with Rapha is amazing. The exercises always vary so it keeps it fun and he always checks in on everyone throughout the class. Would definitely recommend trying it out!

Positive experience: The gym itself could be bigger – it gets quite crowded during busy times, and sometimes it’s hard to finish a workout while waiting for equipment to become available. On the positive side, the staff are always nice and friendly, and the premises are kept very clean, which makes a big difference. I absolutely love the classes! Clara brings such amazing energy, and Raphael is an outstanding personal trainer and fitness class instructor. He truly cares about the wellbeing of his students and always makes sure we train safely while still pushing us to perform at our best. His classes are well-structured, easy to follow, and full of energy. Raphael has also been a great support in one-to-one training. He’s shown me how to use equipment properly and designed a program tailored to my fencing goals, including specific exercises to improve mobility, strength, and speed. I really enjoy every session with them, and I always leave feeling stronger and motivated. Highly recommend Raphael to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring trainer!

Fantastic experience: Rafael Felipe is a good guy, he explains any confusion well. Thank you Gym Plus and specially thank you Rafael brother

Fantastic experience: I recently started training at Gym Plus Rathfarnham and had a great experience there. Highly recommend the gym for anyone looking for quality training.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending classes with Raphael at Gym Plus Nutgrove for a while now. Amazing trainer. Really great classes, never the same routine and a very nice person. A very enjoyable experience. Thank you!

Positive experience: Great gym. Great staff. Has cleaning wipes everywhere to wipe down equipment after. The only thing I would say is that they should add more 12.5kg and 15kg sets of dumbbells as they are the ones most used. And some people have to wait to use them. If they added more that would help a lot.

Fantastic experience: perfect for sports, exercise, relaxation, swimming pool, sauna, a perfect place for adults and children.

Fantastic experience: Gym is great. Good atmosphere. Raphael is a beast! Great trainer and class lead. Very passionate about his job.

Fantastic experience: Just had a great session with Raphael, as always a very committed person.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to the gym for nearly two years now and really enjoy it. The staff and fitness coaches are always professional and friendly, and the facilities are clean and modern, which makes for a great environment. What has really made a difference for me in recent months is the support I’ve received from one of the trainers, Raphael. He’s been super helpful — taking the time to guide me through training sessions, show me how to use the equipment properly, and design a training plan tailored to my goal which is to become a better fencer. He’s even researched specific exercises to help me improve my mobility, strength and speed in fencing. Thanks to Raphael’s support, I’ve been enjoying my gym sessions even more, trying new things, and seeing real progress. It’s made a big impact on my fencing, and I'm happy to report that I've never been fitter on the fencing piste, and finished the season with a gold medal.

Positive experience: it's good a gym all round but it's often that at least one piece of equipment is out of order for far too long. some of the staff are lovely. some are very unwelcoming and it creates such a poor environment to try and improve yourself in. overall a decent experience and gets the job done. The changing rooms need a deep clean too, especially the tiles on the floor. ballsbridge spa is great too.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms iv been a member of or visited. Joined August 24, with specific goals and targets and the gym has everythimg anyone could need. More cardio than a club could need. Huge free weights section. Plenty of machine weights. 100s of multi functional classes. Like all gyms equipment breaks. Gym plus has a qr code to scan to let the venue know its down. And normally all issues are resolved within 3-5 working days which is very impressive. Pool for me is a must with kids and its great. Always have a life guard. Loads of pool toys for smallies to use. Sauna within the changing room is icing on cake. Free parking and ample amounts. Staff are the nicest. They all appear like best friends and they get to know a lot of people which is a great experience and creates a nice atmosphere. The members app is extremely well thought out. Opening hours good although weekends could be later. Price wise its averagely priced. Its by no means expensive at between 49-60 per month. Joining fees can I apply at times which is a pet hate but they do promos without them. Staff call you to see how they are perfoming which was a nice touch. Well done Gym Plus.
