Dartry Health Club

Fantastic experience: Great gym, sauna, pool, great selection of both free weights and machines as well as a small stretching area. Staff are very friendly. I went at an off peak time but can imagine it getting very busy during peak. Limited on street parking available which is free at the weekends

Fantastic experience: Great facilities with experienced and competent staff. Only used the pool facilities which are perfect for relearning how to swim (what I'm doing)

Fantastic experience: Neat and inorder

Negative experience: Pros & Cons of Icon Gym Pros Excellent selection of gym equipment and fitness classes. Friendly and helpful staff. Generally a great gym experience. Cons – The Swimming Pool Situation The swimming pool is poorly managed, with too much focus on private lessons and classes—primarily for non-members, some of whom I know personally. Finding an open lane for swimming is often a challenge, especially during lunch hours when classes take up the entire pool. School breaks make it even worse, likely due to school visits. Weekends are even more chaotic. During family swim time (which is only available on weekends), it's not uncommon to see 12–14 people crammed into a single lane. Small children struggle for space, and parents frequently voice their frustrations. For adults, the situation is just as frustrating. There’s typically only one designated adult lane—if it’s not already being used for private lessons. Even then, it won’t be offered to you; you’ll have to ask an instructor, which can feel awkward and uncomfortable. I've personally shared this "dedicated" lane with up to four others at a time. Meanwhile, a third lane is always reserved for private lessons, often with just one or two participants—most of whom aren’t even members. Meanwhile, paying members are squeezed into the remaining two lanes, making swimming a frustrating experience. The pool used to be fantastic, but ever since the gym prioritised non-member lessons and classes, its quality has rapidly declined. While I fully support swim education, the problem here is poor management and the complete disregard for members. This isn’t just my opinion—it’s a common complaint among regular gym-goers. Usually in the sauna, where people go because they can't get a place to swim! Final Thoughts If you're looking for great classes, friendly staff, and well-maintained gym equipment, Icon is a solid choice. But if you’re joining primarily for the pool, look elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for 6 months now, love the community/family feel, you're never treated like a number. Haven't done classes yet, but the gym area is superb, never had an issue with access to equipment when I need it. Has definitely helped me become fitter and stronger over the past months. A special shout out to Monty who couldn't be more helpful and friendly, actually everyone working there is extremely committed and helpful. Best gym I've been a member of

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Big enough to offer lots of variety in the equipment and choice of classes but small enough that it still feels very friendly and “local”. Always get a nice vibe, not at all imposing or intimidating like other gyms I’ve been in. I Initially dealt with Sean who is very friendly and helpful but I’ve found everyone I’ve dealt with has been lovely. Low turnover of staff too which I always think is a good sign. Definitely 5 Stars in my opinion.

Fantastic experience: The variety of classes. The instructors attitude, very friendly and they encourage us to do the best we can. The friendly atmosphere among people who attend clases

Fantastic experience: food supplements range is welcome addition. would like to see brands such as Pulsin or Sun Warrior. Most supplements contain a minimum of 25-35% sugar undoing all the hard work in the gym and over working the pancreas. New machines a welcome addition. New dumbbells welcome as have reached the 40KG. Additional yoga mats are also welcome but a bit on the hard side. The navy mats are much better. Have seen improvements with the ceiling tiles in the men's showers. The plastic bags are always replenished from the dispenser - this is another small but very welcome improvement. I find Lucas and Alex to be very polite and genuinely friendly and helpful. They stand out as exceptional employees imo and fit in well with the high quality of staff in the gym. The weights area is still over crowded while treadmills and elipticals are abundant and not in use. The free weights area is slightly dangerous around the bench press and new squat machine. There needs to be more space between both these machines as the heavies weights are loaded on the barbell yet the bars on both mahcines are practically touching. One has to bend over and twist to pickup the weights on the squat rack. Its only a matter of time before somebody injures their back. I see this as a serious oversight. The rowing machines foot straps always come loose. Would be great to have velcro or a lock in mechanism. The music in the gym is often closer to chill out than motivational work out. Can often be too low. The gym is for working out not chilling out but I understand this may be subjective to personal taste. I think there should be a discount for members that don't use the pool. THe membership is comparitively expensive if one just uses the mats and free weights. One thing i noticed is that instructors dont interupt gym goers when they are doing exercises with awful technique. As they are qualified they will be aware that the individual may injure themselves and will not make much progress. I wouldnt be so rude as to interfere but I think the trained staff have a responsibility too educate in a nice way. Technique is very important for development and prevention of injury! There are always the unqualified ready to offer their know how only to show up the next week with a long term injury. Its great to see the continued improvements in the gym. Well done and keep up the good work. kind regards, Brendan

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere , very helpful staff with positive attitude High standard of facilities , good diversity in classes offered

Fantastic experience: Dartry is a friendly and well equipped gym. The staff are always helpful. I like the punch bag and trx room that I can use as I wish as a warm up.

Fantastic experience: The staff is very professional and the instructors really know what they are doing. Classes start on time and last the full duration at minimum which is great. The online booking app makes it very easy to book a class. The equipment is well looked after and the whole club is very clean and tidy. And overall it's not too busy. Love the free parking too!
