Trinity College Sports Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I don’t go here but I like the pool I would go to this school for the pool and for this building it’s a very nice building people that work here are very nice and smiley good vibes
Negative experience: Absolute horrendous people at the reception. They love to Harass whenever see a person of colour.
Fantastic experience: Very nice courts
Negative experience: Facilities are great. However, if you use the pool, the timetable is very busy unfortunately. The pool is taken over from 7 PM most of the year and limited time during the weekends. Published timetables are not always accurate, which makes it complicated sometimes.
Positive experience: Good gym and nice place for indoor sports
Positive experience: Nous venons de France et nous avons cherché un endroit où faire du volley-ball Nous avons trouvé le sport center du Trinity College, un endroit mythique de la ville. Le terrain était bien réservé et disponible pour nous avec accès au vestiaire. Cependant nous avons perdu un peu de temps pour trouver une balle, et elles n'étaient pas bien gonflées. Malgré cela nous avons passé un très bon moment.
Positive experience: Affordable price for 1 time entry, sauna, old school gym, and a pool.
Negative experience: I got a membership just to use the pool and it's already the second time I go and find it closed (the first time the sign said it would reopen on September 1st, now there is a new sign with a new date). When you sign up they ask for a thousand data, but they don't notify you when they close and they just waste your time. The membership is too expensive and the service is non-existent.
Hi Katia, We are very sorry to hear of your disappointment. As communicated, essential maintenance works were being carried out during this period. These works are essential to improve the journey of our users, and are specifically to improve the performance of our heating and water systems. The works will also allow Trinity Sport and College to play their part in reducing energy consumption and support sustainability. We apologise for the inconvenience caused during this period. If you wish to discuss further, please feel free to contact us on [email protected].
Positive experience: The sports hall manager is very rude with people. Doesn't know how to approach someone without giving out. Shame, as trinity has a wonderful court to play many sports.
Hi Tamara, we are sorry to hear about the negative experience you had in our sports centre and appreciate your kind words about the facility. Could you please e mail [email protected] with some further details on your interaction with the sports centre staff member. We will look to improve our service going forward and offer you some services free of charge to apologise about particular experience.
Negative experience: always seem to have issues with the scanners. every time i’m at the centre, those scanners need to be fixed… staff/ security sometimes unorganized. don’t understand why there is only 1 mirror in the gym to observe progression, crowded over that big mirror.
Fantastic experience: Great gym over 3 floor's
Negative experience: The swimming pool was super cold, when you asked the manager, she only said, she was following Irish guidelines and is a pool for competitions, I don't know why is open to the public in that case, but with my own thermometer, the water was 26 degrees, and you're not allowed to take pictures in the swimming pool.
Fantastic experience: My daughter had a ‘Multisports’ 10th birthday party at Trinity College Sports Centre. The girls loved the climbing, dodgeball and basketball. 4 young staff members stayed with them for the whole 2.5 hours. The staff were really great. Friendly, fun, knowledgeable and helpful. The kids really liked them. Very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend for kids party.
Positive experience: Acceptable gym I used a couple of times while visiting Dublin, but would absolutely not make this my full-time gym. Pros: - Decent number of racks. - Decent number of bars. - A fair few dumbbells and adjustable benches. Cons: - No fully enclosed power racks. - None of the bars have a centre knurl for squats. - Absolutely no organization of the dumbbells, just a complete free-for-all with things like 40s next to 5s. - No chalk bowls. - Strange footwear policy (deadlift slippers apparently not acceptable, so essentially had to do ~1" deficit deadlifts wearing trainers). - Pretty impolite members - in several years of lifting weights I can count on one hand the number of times someone has said "no" to working in. Two of those times were in this gym and I only worked out here twice.
Positive experience: Fantastic location with lovely staff. There is a surprisingly large number of squat racks making the gym perfect for people doing compound lifts. I'd have preferred a wider range in machines but to each their own. Unfortunately the hours are very unfriendly to people working office hours. I'd love to see the gym open sooner in the mornings. Gym isn't maintained very well, machines are old enough for weight numbers to have rubbed off the plates. Several machines appear to be permanently out of action. Gym is also unclean, with dust building up on machines in corners. Lockers are far too skinny, good luck fitting a bag pack inside without using force
Fantastic experience: Lovely experience. Has facility for almost all the sports activity
Fantastic experience: Welcoming entrance and a variety of fizical activities whatever your fitness level is.
Fantastic experience: This sport centre is really nice, my daughter is having swimming classes there and we really enjoy the sessions.
Negative experience: Used the swimming pool and I got a nightmare ear infection afterwards for the next few weeks. This hasn’t happened before or since when I go swimming in other pools.
Negative experience: Not suitable for anyone working standard office hours, especially for swimming - the pool is always closed for clubs or lessons after 18h, or it is just overcrowded. Gym spaces also small and overcrowded, classes are not designed with any logic or fitness level in mind, everything feels very disorganised. I regretted buying yearly membership, won’t be renewing again.
Negative experience: I downloaded an app which promised me a free trial. Upon arrival they asked an email confirmation- never received. Did the registration again inform the receptionist - no email received. They said there is a person who could help , but guess what, she is off today. Long story short, no free trial, got charged €12, wasted time sorting out the issue , sauna was closed due to maintenance, pool was overcrowded, I would not come again. Didn’t provide the receipt either. 2 out of 5.
Fantastic experience: I am elderly but need to be a bit more active. I want to swim so this works well for me as its in walking distance from my home and I felt safe there. The staff, especially Hannah McGowan, were friendly and seemed to be enjoying their jobs. I am looking forward to using the facility.
Hi MJ, we hope you are well. Thank you for your kind feedback- it is much appreciated. We hope you enjoy your membership with us!
Positive experience: Bit dirty swimming pool and toilets/showers are old and nasty, gym is small and crowded in a school year. Lacking cable machines and steppers - only 1 there is always a queue there. NO MIRRORS in the gym
Positive experience: Q puedo hacer para practicar basquet ahí ? Cuando es la mensualidad y q días son los entrenamientos ??
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and there are always attendant staff around. Open to the public (check their website for fees). Free for Trinity students and staff.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit to Trinity Sport
Fantastic experience:
Fantastic experience: My grandson loves the activities
Thanks! we love to know it!
Negative experience: Gym is good but often very crowded, could do with reorganising the machines so there is more space at the back for people using kettlebells and smaller weights. Fitness classes are also very geared around student timetable - earliest is 8.10, latest is 6pm and very few at all on weekends so it is not suited to someone working Be aware if you are joining for the pool as a non student - its essentially never open/free. Always closed completely at bank Holidays and then constantly in use for sports in the evenings and most of the weekend so again anyone who works during normal office hours can't use it. Will not be renewing my membership. Showers and changing rooms are very grim
Fantastic experience: Swimming lessons are good
Negative experience: No smith machine no pack deck. Closing too early on weekends.
Fantastic experience: Fine
Positive experience: A great place for a complete workout. The gym area, the bathrooms, the swimming area and other sports area make this place quite fascinating.
Fantastic experience: Отличное место для занятия спортом всей семьёй! Есть много опций на любой вкус!
Fantastic experience: My son really liked the sport center, even if he only did 1 week of summer camp.will definitely come back next year and do 2 weeks this time! He really like it because they were doing activities from 9AM to 4PM, spacing from tennis, to fencing, climbing, basketball, kickboxing and swimming. The staff was very attentive, funny and kind to the kids.
Thank you Laura, we hope to see him back next year for longer !!
Fantastic experience: Our kids had a great time at the TCD Sport childrens camp. The staff are really helpful + professional. The variety of sports & swimming are lots of fun.
Thank you Helena, your Children’s experience at camp is very important to us. we are so glad your children had a great time! Might see you at our Halloween camp!
Fantastic experience: my cousin enjoyed it very much and definitely will come back next year for summer camp.
Thank Zita, so glad they had a good time and thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: My 10 year old son has really enjoyed the Sports Camps, 2 weeks over the summer & 1 week at the Easter break. A great opportunity to try new sports, swim every day & make new friends. The facilities are excellent & the centre staff are always courteous & professional. Thanks to the team of coaches who are responsible for the kids throughout the day, enthusiastic & friendly and great role models for them.
Thank you Denise, we are delighted that you and your son are having such a good experience using our children's sports camp and facilities...........
Fantastic experience: We are a big fan of Trinity College camps. My children, 8 and 6, love it! A great opportunity to try many sports, have fun and spend all the energy they have! And as full-time working parents, it saves our life!
Thank your so much Magali, we are delighted to hear this! We are so happy that your children have enjoyed camps! Hope to see you all at Halloween Camp!!
Fantastic experience: Great selection of facilities and the perfect location for an after office workout. Spin classes are great, and they do themed classes 2/3 times a year for certain calendar events!
Hi Emma thanks for the great review, glad you are enjoying the spin and themed classes!
Fantastic experience: I was here to do the swim for a mile challenge with swim ireland. The staff were so helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: An excellent gym in the heart ♥ of Dublin City with great helpful staff!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with really helpful friendly staff. Really good 25m pool in the basement that's always kept at a nice training temperature.
Positive experience: All amenities available.
Positive experience: Slightly hard to find the entrance but very good equipment and well organised

Fantastic experience: Great place
Hi Wilson, Thank you very much for your rating.
Fantastic experience: The main halls are great for basketball and the staff are always polite.
Fantastic experience: This gym has everything you need and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Thanks to the team for taking the time to have a chat and also telling me a bit about Dublin
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Central and reasonably priced
Fantastic experience: All your exercise needs under one roof.
Fantastic experience: Great sports centre
Fantastic experience: Great facilities
Negative experience: Opening hours are not great at the weekend and it doesn't open at all on public holidays. That meant it was closed for three out of four days over the Easter weekend and every bank holiday Monday. This is not mentioned at all when signing up.
Positive experience: Swim every day there. Good pool and sauna/ steam room. One off for the hours open to usage for swimmers. It has way too many extra events.
Negative experience: The lady at reception was so rude. I called to book lessons and there is some misunderstanding about dates and time. Because of this, I got shouted so many times “ didnt you say Tuesday??? What a mess!! Now I have to cancel and re book everything!” I was treated so badly, more feeling like she was the boss and I was just her employee. As a customer, I was showing my understanding throughout. But don’t I deserve some respect and understanding on your end? very upset experience.
Positive experience: Very full
Positive experience: Facility is very small and usually crowded, however it offers everything in the middle of the city!
Positive experience: Overcrowded... Great classes
Positive experience: Nice sports centre
Positive experience: If you are sensible to a good hygiene and cleanliness you might have some second thought
Negative experience: joined in May but ive canceled my membership, the gym is tiny and by 5.30 is packed to capacity, to much time waiting for benches, the pool floor is to shallow on the top end, I was actually hitting the floor with my hands, very uncomfortable to swim in such shallow water. Finally... the toilets are constantly out of service, I thought it was a one off but it was continuously happening. The complex feels tired and needs money invested in it. I've moved to Crossfit Perpetua Dublin, not far away and MUCH better bar the pool.
Positive experience: Great vibr
Positive experience: A great facility in the heart of Dublin City. Camps are fun and we'll attended plenty of kids at all age groups. Sports on offer excellent and a full entertaing of activities staff are friendly and helpfull
Positive experience: Well planned and easy to find my way around
Positive experience: Specious and great place to work out
Positive experience: Excellent facility. Good equipment, always clean. Great staff who know their trade.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, especially the climbing wall
Fantastic experience: Large, clean, and non-threatening gym. Swimming, climbing, weights, and classes
Positive experience: Absolutely brilliant sports centre, especially after the renovation on the gym area. It would be helpful if a timetable would be displayed when the main sports hall is free for us. There is a sauna and swimming pool along side a climbing wall and many more.
Negative experience: I've never been so badly treated in my entire life. The old lady at the reception is rude and extremely racist. She just answers questions coming from students in Trinity. If you are interested in membership she simply doesn't give you attention. Rude and horrible attitude for someone at a front desk. Never will go back there.
Positive experience: Well maintained and well equipped.
Fantastic experience: Certainly the best gym in the area. Good equipments, all sort of fitness classes and you can even join some of the college sport clubs.
Fantastic experience: Very nice college
Fantastic experience: The swimming pool is really good!
Fantastic experience: Full sports center with swimming pool, sauna, hammam, climbing wall, gym (weight, treadmill, bike ...)
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, gym, pool, sauna, climbing wall and a lot more. Friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Great place for all sports
Positive experience: very good but affordable for students mostly
Negative experience: It has smelled so bad in the fitness center for the past couple of months. By the time 7 pm rolls around you can't even breath because the room is so packed and so poorly ventilated. I'm not saying the place isn't up to code, but something is definitely up either with maintenance or how the place is being cleaned. Other than that the fitness classes are really great and so are the people who work there! I honestly think funding might have been cut to keep the place hygienic and comfortable, which is really messed up.
Positive experience: Good for students, but can get a bit crowded. Variety of facilities, such as a small gym, a climbing wall, a pool, indoor sports hall,...
Positive experience: Great city centre facility, covers all your fitness needs from swimming, gym and sports clubs and course's
Fantastic experience: Certainly the best gym in the area. Good equipments, all sort of fitness classes and you can even join some of the college sport clubs.
Positive experience: Staff always attentive. Facilities good, but maybe should be fixed quicker when things break. Closed on bank holidays!!!
Negative experience: Don't join, it's theft. Students can clear out any area for their classes, there's no warning of this either. There's no ventilation in the changing rooms of the pool so you'll leave saturated. It's dangerously packed and there's been holes on the floor of the weights room for years! Holes!!! They also charge for any classes they do. Trust me its not worth it.
Positive experience: Everything you need
Positive experience: I've been a public member of the Trinity Sports Centre for about two years. I primarily use it to go swimming, although sometimes I do use the Fitness Centre too. I go almost every day, at different times of day, so I think I have a good sense of what goes on there. It can get crowded at times and I do wish that there were better opening hours on Sunday, but in general, I've been very happy with my experience there. I feel that the Sports Centre staff are excellent - very friendly and helpful. The 25-metre pool is very clean, minimal to no chlorine, and it is kept at a nice cool temperature for lap swimming. Sometimes when it's busy the changing area could use more upkeep, but overall, for what I pay annually I think it's pretty good value for money. My only comparison in Dublin is Club Vitae at the Maldron Hotel on Cardiff Lane and Trinity is far better.
Positive experience: I like that they have a climbing wall and pool and it's conveniently located by a train station. However I'm not crazy excited about it. Service could be nicer.
