David Lloyd Dublin: Opinions
Fantastic experience: As a pure novice starting off, having never attended a gym before, Sakou was very patient and encouraging. Really enjoying it now and seeing the results already.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Lindsay, this is great to hear!
Fantastic experience: A super experience, great class and I worked hard!!!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Emma, this is great to hear!
Fantastic experience: I recently attended a fitness class at David Lloyd and was really impressed by the high-end facilities and overall atmosphere. What truly made the experience stand out, though, was our incredible coach, Sakou. Training a group of moms, he struck the perfect balance between pushing us to work hard and making everyone feel supported and capable. His motivation, encouragement, and genuine positivity created a fantastic energy in the class. I left feeling challenged, empowered, and eager to come back!!!
Hi Mary-Kate, thanks for sharing! So glad you had such a positive experience and that Sakou made the class both challenging and fun. Sounds like the perfect mix of motivation and support!

Its great to hear you enjoyed the class Laurie, thank you for your wonderful feedback!
Negative experience: U pay for what you get, or more so you pay for where it is
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review David, we appreciate your feedback.
Positive experience: I enjoyed a lovely day at the pool and Spa today. As a newcomer Hayley at reception was very friendly and helpful showing me around with great enthusiasm. The pool was lovely but no flags so backstroke was a bit of a problem. Very clean spa and changing areas. ♀️
Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback with us Annemarie! We’re so glad you enjoyed your day at the pool and spa and it’s wonderful to hear that Hayley made you feel so welcome. We hope to see you in Club again soon!
Fantastic experience: I went to the restaurant a few times during the week and was served by lucy and christina and Kerry on separate occasions. What wonderful staff with amazing attitudes. Very attentive and helpful! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Claudia! We’re thrilled to hear that Lucy, Christina, and Kerry made your visits so enjoyable with their attentive and helpful service. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words, they’ll be delighted!
Negative experience: If you're under 18, this place might feel like Disneyland with dumbbells. But if you're an adult hoping for value, it's more of a theme park priced like a luxury resort—with none of the actual luxury. The tennis courts? Perpetually booked. Good luck getting a slot unless you’ve mastered time travel. The swimming pool lanes are overrun with kids’ lessons from dawn till bedtime—unless you fancy a moonlit dip at 10 p.m. The gym itself is mediocre for what you pay for but for the price, you’d expect more than one Smith machine and a forest of treadmills. Personal training is a jaw-dropping €100 an hour—not necessarily poor quality, but that kind of money could get you three months at a decent gym elsewhere. Just saying. Also, while the gym is technically for those aged 16 and up, I’ve seen kids roaming around looking like clueless sheep. The café area is actually pretty nice—a solid spot to unwind with friends. But don’t get too comfortable with your laptop. Pull it out and you'll be politely exiled to another table, presumably reserved for the sacred act of cappuccino consumption. Classes? good luck booking a spot in something like reformer Pilates unless you're free at 11:30 a.m. on a Tuesday. Which, last I checked, most working adults are not. And then there’s the spa area, which has all the ambiance of airport security. I came to relax, not to reenact TSA screening protocols. Bottom line: If you're a retired adult with money to burn and have too much time on your hands you might love it here.
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback Gavin. We're sorry to hear your experience hasn't met expectations. To help us look into this further, please share your membership details along with your review to [email protected] so the Club team can get in touch directly.
Fantastic experience: Consistently excellent service and wonderful staff!
Thank you for your fantastic feedback Faye!

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the Club team, pool, and food, and appreciate your comments about the gym lighting.
Fantastic experience: Jade was excellent
Thank you for your 5 star review Aveen!

Fantastic experience: Great class, how it should be done
We're glad you enjoyed the class Anne, thank you for your great feedback!
Fantastic experience: David Lloyd Riverview….Great sports club with amazing facilities and amenities that can be enjoyed alone, with friends and family. My personal favorite is the Spa with its saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis and meditation rooms. The staff is great all around with special note to Laura who keeps the Spa area in great form at all times!!!
Thank you for the lovely review Robert! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the facilities, especially the spa. Laura will love this!

Thank you for your review Cecilia, we're happy to hear you enjoyed the class!
Fantastic experience: Really really good Geraldine love a Fri though
Thank you for your great feedback Anne-Marie!
Fantastic experience: I love the Yoga class with Jenny & Zumba with Louise!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Niamh, this is great to hear how much you love classes with Jenny and Louise!
Positive experience: Gym is very basic has a hotel atmosphere to it. I would suggest a larger functional training area as the gym itself is about a decade behind the times. The pros of this branch are in the tennis and pool facilities only.
Thank you for your feedback Declan. We appreciate your suggestions and will share them with the relevant teams to help improve our members experience. We’re glad you enjoy the tennis and pool facilities!
Negative experience: As a club that claims to be high end, why does your reception specifically emphasize that clients can only take one towel? I mean, sure, I can take just one, but why are towels only available at the front desk? After using the gym, sauna and swimming, am I supposed to reuse the same towel for showering again? Putting such a restriction on towels really comes across as stingy and unpleasant.Never seen this before in other clubs
Thank you for your feedback Simon, we’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.
To confirm, members are provided with one towel per visit if this is part of their membership, and if you wish to use more than one, additional towels are available at a small extra cost.
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and will be sure to pass your comments on to the relevant teams.
Fantastic experience: We recently attended the Dinklicious event held at the David Lloyd court facilities and Wow! what an experience. Right from the moment of walking up to reception and the warm welcome and helpfulness from the staff up until the very end of the day and tournament. Thank you for hosting the event and for helping make it such a great success. The facilities you have are brilliant and we are really looking forward already to coming back to attend hopefully another tournament very soon. You've spoilt us for what we want to now play on.. Hands down the best experience so far.
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear you had such an amazing time at the event. It’s great to know our team, facilities, and the tournament itself made it such a memorable experience. We can’t wait to welcome you back!
Fantastic experience: Excellent yoga classes. Great instructors!
Thank you for your review Tiffany, we're happy to hear you're enjoying yoga classes at the Club!
Fantastic experience: I love the yoga and Pilates classes especially with Lisa and Jenny. Please put on more classes.
It's great to hear you're enjoying Lisa and Jenny's classes Angela, thank you for your review!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Hillary and Keith for your hospitality. Great attitude on the job and extremely helpful. Excellent staff with impeccable knowledge and a can do attitude!
Thank you for your 5-star review and feedback for Hillary and Keith.
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Yvonne for hosting the Irish team for the EPF (European Pickleball Federation) to train and play in the tennis courts. I was very impressed of the amount of the quality of the tennis courts which we used to divide into 2 nice Pickleball courts. The natural light entering from above was spectacular. Also the spectators that can see our sport from the massive glass window from the restaurant was lovely. Also thank the gym to show others what our sport is all about and to thank the Fitzpatrick's for staying and coaching them for 2h afterwards.
Thank you for your feedback Samuel! We’re delighted to hear about your positive experience with Yvonne and the quality of our tennis courts. It’s great to know that the facilities and support made a difference. We’ll pass along your appreciation to everyone involved!
Fantastic experience: We’d a great time training and sharing our love of Pickleball with the members of David Lloyd, top class facilities and I can’t wait to go back.
Hi Thomas, it's fantastic to hear that you had a great time playing Pickleball! We're glad you enjoyed the facilities and can't wait to welcome you back!
Fantastic experience: David Lloyd Gym is fantastic, and Zoe at reception makes every visit even better! She’s incredibly welcoming, remembers everyone by name, and always goes above and beyond to help. The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and offers a great range of classes. With friendly staff like Zoe, it’s a place I truly look forward to visiting!
Thank you for your amazing feedback Fiona! We’re thrilled to hear that Zoe enhances your visits with her warm welcome. We're glad you enjoy our facilities and classes, and we look forward to seeing you at the Club!
Fantastic experience: Zoe is amazing at the gym! She always greets everyone with a warm smile and is incredibly helpful with any questions or needs. Her positive attitude makes coming to the gym a much better experience. David Lloyd’s is so lucky to have her !
Thank you for your wonderful feedback Lauren! We're so glad to hear that Zoe has made such a positive impact on your gym experience. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her!
Fantastic experience: I have been a longtime member in David Lloyd and I have never had a bad experience. The staff are great and Hilary has been of great help recently.
Thank you for your continued support Cian! We're so glad to hear that you’ve had a positive experience with Hilary. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love going to relax and unwind after a long day of work. The facilities are top class and the atmosphere is calming. The staff are wonderful, especially the spa receptionist Hilary. She is always so warm and welcoming, making my use of the spa even more delightful! Her smile lights up a room and really adds to my experience of David Lloyd. I really would recommend David Lloyd to a friend.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback Sinead! We’re thrilled to hear that you love relaxing at our spa and that Hilary has made such a positive impact on your experience. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back!
Fantastic experience: I have always been a fan of David Lloyd Riverview, and one of the primary reasons for my love of this establishment was because of my experiences with Hilary in spa and reception. Walking into the gym, her smile simply lights up the room, and makes you feel just as bright! Such a lovely lovely woman, helping me out with all of my queries and any peculiar questions I may have. A very competent and understanding woman, with a great smile to top it off. We need more people like Hilary in places like this!
Thank you for your lovely feedback Sophie! We’re so glad to hear how much you appreciate Hilary’s warm presence and helpfulness. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her!
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my experience in David Lloyd playing pickleball for first time. It had great facilities and team were very friendly. I’ll definitely be back.
Thank you for your feedback Adrián! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your first pickleball experience and found our Club team welcoming. We look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: So thankful to David Lloyd Dublin Riverview for providing us the opportunity to train as the Team Ireland Pickleball squad. We were super impressed with the indoor hard courts which are perfect for Pickleball. Afterwards we had great fun running a taster session for David Lloyd members and look forward to coming back soon!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Isabelle, this is great to hear! We hope we can see you back soon!
Fantastic experience: We had a brilliant time at David Lloyd yesterday afternoon, playing pickleball. A small group of us representing Ireland in the European Championships in November got a high level, four-hour training session in, then put our coaching hats on and taught a group of 20 members for a few hours. Such a nice, friendly group who were thrilled to try pickleball. Big thanks to Yvonne for organising such a fun afternoon!
Thank you for sharing your experience Francie! We're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time playing pickleball and coaching others. Good luck in the European Championships!
Fantastic experience: Walking into David Lloyd feels like stepping into a world where everything is just... better. The equipment? Sure, it’s fine. The pool? It’s wet. But none of it compares to the true powerhouse of the entire establishment—the ladies at the front desk. You know, Diane, Janice, and Emma. These aren’t just staff members; they are wizards of hospitality. They make you feel like you’re not just another gym-goer—they make you feel like royalty. Every time you walk through those doors, it's as if you’ve been mistaken for someone who matters. But then, there’s Hillary Brett. Ah, Hillary. She doesn’t just welcome you; she beams with such radiance that it could power the national grid. She makes you feel like God himself has booked you. It’s otherworldly. Here’s the thing—David Lloyd are completely missing a trick. I mean, why isn’t Hillary running dedicated classes on how to smile? Forget yoga or HIIT sessions. What we need is a masterclass in the art of the Hillary smile and charm
Wow, thank you for this amazing review Bazil! We’re so thrilled to hear how much you love our team, especially Diane, Janice, Emma, and of course, Hillary! Your idea for a masterclass in the “Hillary smile” is brilliant! we’ll have to consider that! Thanks for making our day with your kind words! Can’t wait to see you again!
Fantastic experience: Classes at David Lloyds are great. Lots of choice and the trainers are excellent. Blaze studio is an added bonus. Spa is a great place to recover and/or chill.
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the variety of classes and that our trainers have made a positive impact on your experience. We're glad you’ve found the spa to be a perfect spot to unwind.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant facilities, impeccable cleanliness and the food is always delicious! But the best thing about this club is the staff - so welcoming and warm a particular shoutout to Zoe on reception always greeting everyone with a smile and a positive attitude!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Adam, we are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the Club and it is great to hear Zoe get a special mention!
Fantastic experience: Great for youths
Fantastic experience: Great club .my wife runs the hair salon up there .it's called the rewild hair salon..you go in the front door then up the stairs on the right .without doubt the best blow dry in dublin
Fantastic experience: Nice and good place
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym facilities
Fantastic experience: Top of the range gym . Top of the range equipment in the gym . Staff and personal trainers are always extremely friendly and polite and have gone above and beyond on any occasion I needed there help . Can't say enough good about this gym .
Negative experience: Have been members for so many years and used to be a really good place for leisure and workout. The service is getting much worse since the pandemic (Staff shortages, General manager changed three times, etc.) Hope its service will be back to normal soon, otherwise will consider alternatives. Updated review: While the facility and staff quality have shown recent improvements, I must give this gym 1 star due to their discriminatory pricing practices and problematic billing system. The main issue lies in their unfair treatment of loyal members. Contrary to standard business practices where long-term members receive preferential rates, this gym charges existing members significantly higher rates than new ones. The management seems to take advantage of member loyalty, assuming we won't leave despite the price disparity. The billing system is also seriously flawed: Class swaps result in double charging - you're billed for both the old and new classes Monthly statements only show total amounts without itemized charges Over the past 15 months, I've had to contact their team every single month to correct erroneous charges, including fees for classes I never registered for Word of caution to current and prospective members: carefully review your monthly statements. You'll likely need to actively dispute incorrect charges to get them resolved. The gym's recent facility improvements are overshadowed by these deceptive business practices and their apparent disregard for customer loyalty.
