Fantastic experience: Super sessions with great variety and excellent coaching. Very accommodating of injuries, pregnancies and any other issues with a range of alternative exercises always provided.

Ryan O' Neill Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with great coaches.

Bernice Marshall Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed attending the workout sessions at Echo Athletics. Mike is an excellent coach and is always so welcoming and good humoured. The programme is very well structured and because the group is small individual attention is assured with everyone being encouraged to reach their potential. The sessions are sociable and the time flies by. Onsite parking is another plus. I would highly recommend the FitForever programme as I have experienced it under Mike's very positive and highly professional direction.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing classes in echo for the past year and I love how challenging and fun they are. The coaches are so friendly and encouraging and always make sure that you leave the gym feeling challenged. Love the HITT and run class as it’s the perfect mix of cardio and weights.

Sinead Reardon Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is hands down one of the best I’ve ever been to. The facilities are top-notch — clean, spacious, and equipped with everything you could possibly need, whether you’re into strength training, cardio, or classes. What really makes this place stand out, though, are the trainers. Mike and Aoife are incredible! They’re knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely care about helping you reach your goals. Every session feels personalized, and they always take the time to make sure your form and technique are spot on. Their positive energy makes even the toughest workouts enjoyable. If you’re looking for a gym that combines great equipment, a friendly atmosphere, and expert guidance, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I discovered this place early in 2024 and found that there was a session for older people. The two sessions each week help greatly with loosening up bones and muscles and actually building strength. We now realise we can do exercises with weights that we couldn't have done before. We are a lot more able than when we started and some pains (knees, backs, hips) have been considerably helped or even fully addressed by the exercises. We have a mixed group (usually 3 women and 2 men) and as part of the exercises we are encouraged to exclaim, grunt, groan and strain, with a very knowledgeable and technically excellent tutor / mentor (with the body of a God!!) to assist, encourage and challenge us all. While all this is happening we have great craic, review noteworthy local issues, compare notes on pains after the last session, crack jokes at each everyones expense, and generally have a great time. We look forward to the sessions each week. Shyness prevents us from sharing photos

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Echo’s Fitforever class, it is exactly what I need to keep mobile and moving and feel great! It’s also a very social and welcoming atmosphere Mike would chat for Ireland

Fantastic experience: I have been following the FitForever Programme at Echo Athletics Gym for over a year now. We are a small group, following a Programme designed for Seniors. We work through specific Exercises to develop/ maintain strength and conditioning. Our Instructor Mike is hugely encouraging and attentive to all. I really enjoy FitForever at Echo Gym and I am seeing the benefits. Eileen Spillane

Michael Lynch Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Fitforever at Echo twice a week for the past 18-24mths and couldn’t recommend Mike and his team more for their professionalism, attentiveness and advice. I’ve seen personal progress in my health and well-being as a result.

Toni Published on Google 5 months ago

Emma Russell-Ryan Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym in Cork. Top-quality equipment, a brilliant atmosphere, and Michael is an exceptional trainer — knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in everyone’s progress. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Keeva McSwiney Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy attending classes at Echo. Mike the owner is very friendly and welcoming at all the classes. Each class is tailored for specific results and are always great fun. I personally love the Hiit and Run class from someone who hated running a few months ago I can see such a big improvement in my stamina. The small group PTs are a great way to focus in on my strength training and build confidence in my form. I'd highly recommend all classes as I've never regretted it once the class was over. The SWEAT classes are a great way to try out and see if its a good fit..that's where I started. 10/10

David Russell Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I’ve been to. The facilities are amazing, the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and always looking to get the best out of you in every session. Mike has built a culture where every member feels like they are getting a personalised service while also having a genuine community around them. If you are thinking of joining a new gym definitely get in touch with Mike.

Sophie Mary Atkinson Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with even better people! The community here is so welcoming and supportive and the coaches go above a beyond. The classes push you but you can adjust them to suit your own fitness levels and still reach your goals. Mike is constantly adding new and exciting classes and upgrades to the gym, keeping up to date with the latest fitness trends but also staying true to what echo gym is all about- fun, fitness and strength!!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, facilities and community. Would highly recommend to anyone at any fitness level.

Matthew o'callaghan Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a really special kinda gym. The programs they run through are super fun, great workouts and all that jazz. Best thing though are the staff. I've trained with each of them at least once now in the last two months and all of them are kind, approachable, constructive and as technical in their advice as I've needed and encouraging. The very welcoming community at the gym starts with them. If you're looking to learn, get way fitter/challenged and have good craic as you go, give this place a shot. Their membership models are super accommodating.

Paul Derham Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. When you visit other gyms around Ireland, you really start to appreciate the coaching and the quality of all the gym gear and facilities with Echo Athletics. Not only is the gym equipment amazing but the coaching and welcoming element of the set up is incredible. Really professional, great mix of social and results driven training and a must every time I come to Cork.

Echo really does have the perfect balance between working hard and having fun. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and fitness classes

Derrick Dwane Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started going to Mike a few years ago for a few long standing injuries that I had and I haven't looked back since. Since Mike opened the doors of Echo Athletics things have gone up a gear, the variety in the classes and the one to one and time that Mike gives you even in the group sessions is second to none. He is fantastic at what he does and has genuinely made my life better, both mentally and physically. I cannot recommend Echo Athletics enough for people at all levels and stages of their fitness.
