Fantastic experience: Without doubt the best gym I have ever trained in. I don’t think any other gym in Ireland is as well equipped. The staff are amazing. They are always very polite and extremely helpful Membership price is very reasonable, considering the equipment that you have access to. Highly recommend The AKA HQ.

Chloe Doran 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coached by Alan, who is an amazing coach for well over a year now. Took my first visit to the HQ just over a week ago and I couldn’t get over how incredible it is. The gym itself is massive but the range of equipment is next level there really is something for everybody at the HQ. They have ticked every box with the range of equipment, cleanliness, space even the lighting in the gym is unreal. I traveled over an hour to get there and will have no problem traveling that length time and time again just for use of this gym. Unmatched in my opinion

Adam B 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym, fully equipped with the best brands and machines. Any machine and attachments you can think of. Great vibe there and well thought out areas. Very clean gym and friendly staff and coaches. Will be going back regularly

Jake Walsh 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Trained here on a Friday evening for a leg session when I was in the area. Second to none in terms of equipment. Phenomenal gym with a great atmosphere - if you're in the area don't miss the chance to train here. And if you're from the area you need to be training here.

Chloe Selkirk 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym. I’ve been training here with Adam for a few months now and have made amazing progress that I had no idea I was capable of - he is so professional and knowledgeable I couldn’t ask for a better coach! The whole team has been wonderful, it’s such a friendly atmosphere. This was so important to me as a beginner who was so anxious about the gym, I’ve felt completely comfortable right from the beginning. Whether you’re experienced with the gym and fitness or a total beginner like myself I couldn’t recommend Adam and the whole team at AKA enough :)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing facility with great staff. Equipment is state of the art across the board. I would love to see a water station put in somewhere as I’ve seen a few people searching for it, similar to myself when I first joined. Prices are very very reasonable for the quality of gym

Fantastic experience: I've been training in the AKA HQ for almost two years now, while it was in the old HQ and now in the much larger new and improved HQ. Top class equipment both new and old, all equipment is hand picked and covers every excersises variation and muscle group possible, lots of new(old) equipment too as the saying goes they just don't make them like that anymore but in the HQ you have that old meets new, Old school body building equipment and brand new top of the line equipment everywhere so it's a gym playground in reality. Top class coaches all around, friendly atmosphere, everyone's very helpful. A great training environment & vibe of everyone trying to better themselves

Kris Mahady 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Alan a few years and he goes above and beyond for his clients. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Top notch coaches and facilities.

Kieran Cannon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Having joined Alan 3 months ago as a 45 year old male who really was not in a good condition cardiovascular wise/lethargic, no motivation to train. I just didn't know what to do. I met Alan and it has actually turned my life around. In 3 months dropped from 103kg to 91kg. I told him I had a personal goal for September not realizing that I could actually reach it. The level of expertise that this man has its next to none. There is no one in the business I feel that can get results like this man can. Always online for support, daily check ins to keep you on track. The app is amazing, particularly the way the weights section is as you have a visible marker to improve on each week. He got me back on a soccer pitch in over 42s league and this has improved every single part of my life. Don't believe me, well try for 3 months and then look back on all the years wasted training Thanks for a terrific service

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing place, the best hand picked kit in the country, a new swing squat was even delivered yesterday that is one of the first in Europe. An unbelievable atmosphere with such friendly and encouraging individuals. Some of the most knowledgeable staff that you can find in this industry. Privileged to train here and for anybody looking to excel and improve/chase their fitness goals this is without doubt the best place to do this. Like anything in life, surround yourself with the right people and environment to help get to the next level. Hats off to Alan and team! If you are a beginner, advanced or somewhere in between I genuinely can’t recommend this place enough.

Hi Seamie, Thank you for your review. We are sorry you couldn't see the attachments that are hung on the back of every cable machine (all 4 of them).... If you had of asked staff they would of directed you. However we quite literally have every attachment possible for each cable, straight bar, EZ bar, Cuffs, Different Prime handles (KAS and extender bars) , Mag grips, D handles, Different length rope attachments the list goes on and thats for all 4 cable machines.. Day passes are 15e per person which is very reasonable given the sheer level of equipment we have, whether or not you pay for your other half is up to you :-) We are sorry you are upset about not being able to train with a can of monster in your hand. You are correct we do not allow this due to the high risk of spilling and we hold our standards extremely high for hygiene. We do have a seating area upstairs in the gym in which you were offered to finish your energy drink before training (when energy drinks should be consumed) however other gyms might be ok with you drinking monsters on the gym floor that will be happy of your custom :-) PS. We have electrolytes, pre workout, energy drinks (to be consumed at the seating area PRE TRAINING) + water for sale and a full range of supplements coming in next week. All the best and thank you.

Fantastic experience: I cant speak highly enough of the experience I had with my coach at the AKA gym. I began just after Christmas 2023 with the goal of lowering my BMI and losing some weight. From the word go the results started happening immediately with the help of my coach and the overall program on offer by AKA! You get exactly what you pay for with these guys and once you stick to your own personal nutrition and training plan which is tailor made for each client you will 100 percent see results! From late December to roughly mid march I managed to drop over 10kg which I could not have done without going to AKA! Along with the weight loss there was noticeable changes in my body composition after just a few short weeks. Do not hesitate to get in touch with these guys if you are serious about training and weight loss it will change your life for the better!

Selena Doherty kirby 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been having PT for a few months now. My coach is great at explaining everything to me and why we do things in a certain way, ie targeting certain muscles in the movement. I certainly am getting stronger, and at my age that's one of my goals. I want to be able-bodied and toned, no matter my age.

sinead haughian 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My coach Adam Darcy at AKA Method pushed me to really think about what I wanted to achieve out of my fitness journey with him. With that knowledge Adam aligned his sessions to my goals and needs. Adam guides you through the AKA method confidently but challenges you constantly. Inspires and motivates you to go further. Adam is enthusiastic & knowledgeable about health & nutrition & encourages you to ask questions about yours. Incredibly professional and organised in his planning and 100% invested in your fitness journey-the AKA Method Way.

Kevin Hoare 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting coached by The AKA Method for nearly five years now. I can honestly say the level of coaching, attention to detail and overall service has been second to none. My level of understanding of everything relating to training/nutrition and lifestyle factors such as sleep etc has increased tenfold. I would genuinely recommend The AKA Method to anyone who is serious about changing their physique and pushing towards their goals.
