Carrick Fitness Centre

Fantastic experience: I started in Carrick Fitness Centre gym about 3 years ago and I love it. I was nervous starting but everyone was so welcoming and really helped me achieve my fitness goals. They have a nutritionist on hand to help you with your diet and the personal trainers are brilliant in showing you the proper techniques to use in each class. I would highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: I put off going to gym for a long time Thankful to my friend who asked me back in August would I like join her at Saturday morning gym class bring a friend for free …. I went & tested it out. Hence started 6 week Kickstart programme. I loved the small PT groups where coaches make sure your movements are correct, give you great encouragement & support - while still having a bit of fun. I personally feel much stronger, great energy levels & look forward to every gym session. Weight loss is going the right way … slow & steady. My clothes are comfortable again & getting good compliments from family, friends & work colleagues is a great boost also. If you want structure & need help with feeling fitter & stronger …please reach out to Barry and get started … you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: From the very first time I walked in the door I always felt really welcomed. I used to hate going to the gym and would feel really awkward and not know what I’m doing but from my very first session Barry, Colm and Abby were always so supportive and helpful and guided me and I feel much more confident now.

Fantastic experience: I recently finished the Kickstart Challenge at Carrick Fitness Centre, and it was a fantastic experience. So good that I signed back up for more! The staff are very supportive — always checking in, offering advice, and keeping everyone motivated. The sessions are well structured while also being challenging but enjoyable. There’s a great atmosphere in the gym which makes it much easier to stay consistent and get it done. Great kickstart programme and a great team behind it. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have recently completed the 6 week kickstart program with Carrick Fitness. Barry was very helpful and informative of what the program consisted of right from my first inquiry. I was anxious about signing up in the sense that I had no experience of attending a gym before and very unfit. I know now there was no need to be as I can honestly say the coaches are always available to help you and modify any of the exercises to suit your level and in a way that you do not feel awkward or self conscious. The other gym users have all been welcoming and there is good banter and encouragement. The classes are challenging and offer a great variety of exercises. Aside from attending the classes you are also helped with nutrition by being put in contact with a nutritionist. On completion of the 6 week kickstart I have seen improvement in my fitness and it has encouraged and given me the confidence to keep going on my fitness journey. I would recommend the program to anyone who wants to start/get back into fitness. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Loved my time there. A warm and welcoming atmosphere with great flexibility in terms of the classes available to attend. If I wasn’t leaving the area I’d still be there.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic 6-Week Kick-Start Programme at Carrick Fitness Centre! I recently completed the 6-week Kick-Start Programme at Carrick Fitness Centre, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From day one, the team made me feel completely supported and motivated. The trainers took the time to understand my goals and fitness level, tailoring each session to suit my needs while still challenging me to push further every week. What really stood out was the sense of community. Everyone — from the staff to fellow members — was so welcoming and encouraging. It never felt intimidating; instead, it felt like being part of a team where everyone wants to see each other succeed. The mix of workouts kept things fresh and enjoyable, and the guidance on nutrition and recovery made a real difference. After six weeks, I’ve noticed not only physical improvements but also a huge boost in energy and confidence. If you’re thinking about jump-starting your fitness journey or just looking for the motivation to get back on track, the Kick-Start Programme at Carrick Fitness Centre is the perfect place to begin!

Fantastic experience: I was a very nervous, embarrassed, unfit and overweight when I had my first meeting with Barry. Firstly he made me feel at ease and tried to tell me that I was not the first person to walk through the door feeling like this which was reassuring. At my first PT session I was a nervous wreck but honestly by the end of the class the nerves were almost gone. Everyone there both clients and trainers were so friendly and encouraging. By the end of the second week I started to let my walls down and felt like part of the family. Not only did the training help my fitness but my confidence and most surprisingly my mind. I felt so much clearer in my mind and confident every time I left a class. I had never been to a gym before and I am 45year old mum of three and I cannot recommend Barry and Abi enough. The toughest thing is walking through that door the first time but honestly every time you go it gets easier. I always thought gyms would be full of people super skinny and fit looking at me I could not of been more wrong! Carrick Fitness really is a family, full of encouragement, knowledge and laughs. Thank you to Barry, Abi, Colm and fellow clients for making this journey so enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A total life changer! Since I started going to Carrick Fitness Centre, absolutely everything has changed – not just my body, but my mind too. I have more energy, motivation, and I just feel so much better about myself. Every workout is a perfect mix of great atmosphere, support, and a powerful boost of positivity. The coach genuinely care about me — I’m not just another person at the gym. They pay attention to my technique, help me adjust exercises to my level, and always have a kind word when I’m having a rough day. This place has an incredible vibe – people are friendly, supportive, and the energy (plus the music!) makes you want to give 100%. Thanks to them, I’ve regained confidence in myself, in my body, and in the belief that I can achieve anything if I truly try. There’s no better place – it’s not just a gym, it’s a place that truly changes people for the better. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I completed a 6 week kick-start programme with Carrick fitness centre. I found the coaches to be brilliant they are always on hand to answer any questions. There is always a feel good vibe in the gym I would highly recommend Carrick fitness centre to anybody who wants to get fit and lose weight while having the craic. Big shout to Barry, Colm & Abby thanks a million.

Fantastic experience: I just finished the 6-week starter program at Carrick Fitness and I can honestly say it’s been life-changing for me. I had never been to a gym before and was really nervous starting out, but from day one the coaches—Barry, Colm, and Abbi—made me feel welcome, supported, and encouraged every step of the way. The sessions were challenging but enjoyable, and everything was explained so clearly that even as a complete beginner I felt comfortable. The coaches always checked in, corrected my form, and pushed me just the right amount so I left every session feeling proud of myself. Six weeks ago, I was anxious about walking through the doors—now I look forward to every workout. I’ve gained confidence, fitness, and a new love for exercise. I couldn’t recommend Carrick Fitness and the starter program enough for anyone thinking about beginning their journey.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Carrick Fitness For five months and I’ve seen a huge difference in myself. Physically and mentally. The team are so knowledgeable at how to achieve your goals. The small group PT element Gives me the sense of community in a group, but also gives me the one on one training and support that I need. They take the thinking out of it. You can just show up, be yourself, be kind to yourself and then head off – knowing that your workout is part of a bigger program that’s moving the needle towards your goals. Also, everyone in there is some craic. I felt right at home straight away

Fantastic experience: Carrick Fitness Centre is a community that encourages each other and genuinely wants to see each other succeed. Barry, Colm and Abi know when to push you, when to adapt the workouts for you and when to let you work away yourself. I can feel and see huge difference in my strength and fitness, as well as my attitude towards exercise. There's always chats and a laugh to be had and the guys will celebrate your wins, big and small. There's also easily accessible nutritional support and plenty of opportunities to get involved in community events outside of the gym. Anyone thinking about joining really shouldn't hesitate!

Fantastic experience: Carrick Fitness is one of my favourite places to be, it's not just a gym it's a community. The coaches are invested in your progress from the get go and continue on through whatever stage your at! I am the fittest and strongest I have every been thanks to Carrick Fitness. It doesn't matter where your at age, injury, ability, Carrick Fitness will meet you where your at and guide and progress you to where you want to be and you also have a nutritionist at your fingertips! Couldn't recommend it more to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Barry and crew along with members have really made a lasting impression from walking in on my first day to start my fitness journey which in itself is very daunting they all made me feel very welcome and very helpful ,went above and beyond to explain what was happening highly recommend thank you each and everyone who I have met you're are all a great bunch look forward to the rest of this journey

Fantastic experience: I am the wrong side of 50, was over weight, unmotivated, unfit and afraid what other members might think. However, I bit the bullet and decided to join the 6 week trial. I need not have worried. From my initial on boarding session with Barry to my first session on the floor with Colm ( and now Abbie ) the experience has been excellent. They say you get out what you put in and that applies here. This week i will have complete 100 sessions, made new friends and had great craic along the way. I would highly recommend Carrick Fitness to look after your fitness needs regardless of age or fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Carrick Fitness Centre for the last number of weeks, and I can confidently say it has been a game-changer for me. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping every member achieve their goals. Thanks to their expert guidance, top-notch facilities, and motivating atmosphere, I've made fantastic progress in my weight loss journey. The trainers take the time to understand your individual needs, providing tailored advice and encouragement every step of the way. The equipment is always well-maintained, and the variety of classes keeps things fresh and exciting. More than just a gym, Carrick Fitness Centre is a community where everyone—from beginners to seasoned athletes—feels welcome and inspired. If you're looking for a place that truly cares about your fitness and well-being, I can't recommend Carrick Fitness Centre enough. They've helped me achieve results I never thought possible, and I’m excited to keep pushing forward with their support!

Fantastic experience: Great place for motivation and give you a great workout, friendly and inclusive.

Fantastic experience: Barry and Colm are both great in the gym and so friendly and welcoming couldn’t recommend a nicer place to join for group sessions

Fantastic experience: I started with Carrick Fitness mid December 23 after toying with the idea of getting back into shape and then finally biting the bullet and going for it. I had an initial video consultation where I met with Barry and explained to him what I was looking at getting out of the 6 week program. He explained what needed to be done at a minimum for me to achieve my goal and what steps needed to be done outside of the gym i.e. food, sleep, etc. After finding out the opening times of the gym I was delighted to see that there was a brilliant variety of times that you can choose from for your PT sessions in both the morning and the evening. This was especially important for me due to my own personal work/life balance. We started off with an initial full body scan and bang, we were off and I haven't looked back. The classes are great craic with both Barry and Colm and the days are geared towards different types of training i.e., strength days, stamina days, and capacity days meaning that you can pick and choose the type of training days you want to do and book yourself into it. The team set you up with an app that gives you daily nutritional targets, plenty of delicious recipes and notes and booklets on how to get the best results from your efforts. I completed my 6 week challenge and I'm now over 3 months into my journey and I can't see myself stopping anytime soon as I'm hooked to it now. Whether you are a complete novice or an experience gym goer, Carrick Fitness has something for you. From the step by step learning approach for complete beginners to the opportunity to compete in many different competitions at home and abroad that might suit the more experience gym goer, or the more adventurous beginner. I can't rate the Carrick Fitness highly enough for anyone who is considering starting or moving to a new gym. From the newly reformed gym layout to the very friendly and approachable staff, you won't go wrong by giving the guys a shout.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I've ever been to! Both coaches have been amazing and the entire vibe of the gym is just class! Everyone is so friendly and supportive and that's all you really want in joining a gym! They make you feel like part of the family and it is the best feeling in the world

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Carrick Fitness Centre. I confess that I was afraid to enter the gym, having a bag with the following: a herniated disc operation, extra weight, anxiety.. and I'll stop here I stayed outside for 10 minutes before entering. I shyly entered the hall and asked how I could sign up. Their attitude and the way they explained to me determined me to continue the procedure. When I felt like I wasn't good enough, Barry and Colm believed in me and focused on the goal, the psychological side and gave me the confidence that I could. Now, after 2 months, I don't know how to get to the gym faster, the herniated disc is history, the weight is decreasing and the anxieties have completely disappeared. They made me stronger both physically and mentally. They strengthened my muscle groups in a progressive and harmonious way. They are formidable and give you all their support in reaching your goals. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your professionalism and you made my dream come true.

Fantastic experience: I'm not a natural at exercising and don't find it easy. The boys here have shown me incredible patience and are encouraging without being patronising. They allow you to go at your own pace and encourage breaks if you feel you need to rest. It's the first gym I've ever been to but would recommend for any beginners like me. Thanks Colm and Barry.

Fantastic experience: I joined a few months back as I was getting bored with my regular workouts and wanted something new. Best decision ever :-) since day 1 the craic has been brilliant, the workouts are fun and well thought out so you can achieve results while also having a bit of craic. Barry and Colm are 2 excellent coaches who put a lot of thought and effort into keeping the workouts and atmosphere in the gym top class. I can't recommend the gym highly enough!!

Fantastic experience: Gym nice today and yesterday

Fantastic experience: I hadn’t been to the gym in years & I was nervous about going back, but the minute I walked in to my first Bootcamp session, I felt completely at ease. Barry & Colm are so motivational & brilliant at what they do. I’ve never had so much fun in the gym, the energy is incredible & the craic is always 90. I can’t recommend Carrick Fitness Centre highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Carrick Fitness Centre more. I joined back in 2021as a newbie with no gym experience and haven’t looked back since. The gym has not only become where I go to exercise but also where I go to socialise and meet friends. The atmosphere in the gym is great and every success is celebrated no matter if you’re lifting 2kg or 200kg! No matter what your goal is Barry and Colm will support you in any way they can!

Fantastic experience: Before, I never enjoyed or liked going to the gym or fitness classes but joining Carrick Fitness Centre with Barry & Colm has changed that for me! There's a great team spirit within the gym full of laughs, craic and motivation! I joined in September 2022 and haven't looked back since. I look forward to going every week and improving on technique, strength and cardio. Barry & Colm are amazing at what they do, pushing you to do better but at a pace that works for you! Would highly recommend joining Carrick Fitness Centre - it's the bizz
