UNIT 17: Health & Fitness

Fantastic experience: I attended Unit 17 to take part in a 6 week challenge, and I have to say, it’s been a fantastic experience! My initial goals were to improve my strength, tone up, and just feel better overall—and I’m definitely seeing progress. Shane has been incredibly helpful with regular check-ins and offering advice on mindset and nutrition. The gym sessions with Sean have been fantastic! He’s knowledgeable, attentive, and really encouraging. His approach makes each session feel productive and motivating, which is exactly what I needed. Now that I’ve started, I’m hooked! Highly recommend Unit 17 if you’re looking for a supportive, results-driven environment!

Fantastic experience: The 6 week challenge helped me to set and maintain realistic goals. Shane’s guidance and check in’s throughout were so helpful in keeping me on track. I have really enjoyed the PT classes with Sean. He has the knack of being able to create a workout environment that is challenging motivating and fun. He expertly modified exercises to suit my abilities without even having to ask. I would highly recommend the challenge.

Fantastic experience: I joined Unit 17 a couple of months ago and can thoroughly recommend it! I was a complete novice and was a bit nervous starting, but the coaches are really helpful and everyone's really welcoming. The small classes are a big advantage too as you get lots of help and encouragement from the coaches. Really enjoying it

Fantastic experience: If your looking to start out in the gym or get back into it unit 17 is the place to go , I started out on the six week programme and stayed for a year and a half , the instructors are very helpful and show you exactly what to do the right way , I'd advise anyone to call down and have a chat with shane and sean you won't be disappointed also it's for all ages male or female

Fantastic experience: Great instructors who really cater for the client's individual needs. Lovely, small group sessions mean you get to know other members and instructors and great to have regular check ins with the coaches. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t imagine a better place to start our gym sessions. We did 6 week challenge and the results are incredible. It’s not a “typical “ gym. We loved the small group PT sessions. Shane and his team are just amazing, always have a great atmosphere and attitude.

Fantastic experience: Did a 6 week transformation with shane and co. And have to say I loved it. Challenging workouts, structured. Easy to navigate booking system and text messages and meetings to keep you accountable. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I started in Unit 17 in August and have noticed huge improvements in strength and muscle tone in just a short period of time. I've also shed some stubborn fat that I found hard to shift previously whilst in other gyms doing various programmes. Classes are small (max 6) with structured daily programmes, varying exercises and focusing on tempo and technique which I find much more effective for intensity and learning the movements safely and correctly. All the coaches are super helpful and encouraging and Shane the owner is very approachable and eager to help with everything. I would 100% recommend Unit 17 whether you're just starting on your fitness journey or feeling stuck training elsewhere and looking for more structure and support.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Unit 17 gym - I started classes with them at the end of July. I had put a lot of weight on and felt very self conscious I had tried online classes but realized I couldn’t do it on my own and needed help. I contacted Unit17 gym, they listened and worked out a plan for me. I started the 4 week challenge which has a meal plan which is very easy to follow. At the end of the four weeks, I was feeling much better & managed to lose 9 pounds. I never felt hungry while following the meal plan. There are lots of classes to choose from which is great when you have a busy schedule. The class sizes are small so the instructors can see you at all times & will help you if you’re struggling with a move. The classes are very enjoyable and we have a good laugh with the instructors while doing a good workout. I’m now on a monthly plan & look forward to my classes. Start with the 4 week challenge with the meal plan as it makes life so much easier.

Fantastic experience: I am delighted I joined Unit 17 health and fitness 6 weeks ago. I have more energy and have toned up a bit after only 6 weeks. The staff are excellent and extremely helpful. Myself and my daughter have joined up for another 6 weeks we love it.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommended Unit 17 enough. After years away from the gym environment I was very apprehensive about joining but looking back now I had nothing to worry about. The atmosphere in the gym is very friendly and supportive, all clients are there for the same reason, health, gain strength, getting fitter and feeling great. The coaching staff are so helpful and encouraging and will adjust exercises to suit each clients ability so you never feel you can’t do something. The owner of the gym, Shane, will take you through everything, from training to a healthy eating plan and much more and he is always at the other end of the phone if you have any questions. Class times start at 6:30am until 19:30 so there’s no excuse not to fit an hour in as part of your day, as a busy mam I take the 6:30am class and for the rest of the day I’m full of energy and get so much done. I couldn’t recommend Unit 17 more.

Fantastic experience: I’m a member of Unit17 almost 2 months now & I would highly recommend them. They will support & advise you with whatever your personal goal is. The classes are small & personal The trainers are great, clear instructions given so you know what you are doing. They will encourage progress but will never risk you hurting yourself. If you find the regular gyms intimidating Unit17 is the place to go. Thank you Shane for all your help & support

Fantastic experience: I have recently completed a 6 week programme with Unit 17. This is the first time I went back training since Covid . I feel amazing after such a short period of time. Trainers are so approachable,.lots of times and classes to work around anyones schedule. The gym itself is spotless, have never felt out of my dept. Your pushed but not beyond what your capable of. Really great atmosphere and any concerns or questions you have are answered respectfully and without judgement. I have signed up beyond the 6 weeks and cannot wait to see what the next year brings.

Fantastic experience: Had my first class with Linda And I really enjoyed it. Looking forwards to next to class

Fantastic experience: I trained at unit 17 for the past 2 months before moving away, I now have the confidence to train on my own following the fantastic guidance and support from Shane and the coaches for both exercise and diet.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, I really enjoyed my experience in unit 17. Small numbers in classes allows the trainers to give you more attention. Classes were varied and easy to book. Trainers were excellent , unit 17 has a lovely friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with very knowledgable instructors. 6 weeks program was so good that i have stayed for more visible results after 6 weeks with only 2 sessions a week. I highly reccomend

Fantastic experience: I signed up to the 6 week transformation and I dropped 4.5kg and lost 5.75 inches. I was never a gym person prior to attending unit 17 but I really enjoy it now thanks to Shane and the team. They are so lovely and always proactively touch base with you on how you are getting on with your week. They explain every exercise incredibly well and have so much patience if you don’t have a clue what you are doing. It is fantastic value for money and I think I will be attending for years to come.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy that I joined unit 17. Everyone - Shane, Linda, Jordan and Kelly are so kind and professional, have tons of patience and provide lots of motivation. I started the 6 week challenge in Feb ‘24 and by the end had lost 7 pounds and 8 inches, not only that but I felt great and still feel great. I really would recommend signing up. I thoroughly enjoy every session and learn something new every class. Best decision I’ve made in a long time. Thank you to all at Unit 17.

Fantastic experience: Ive never stepped foot in a gym and was very nervous and apprehensive but when i got in it was a different ball game.. Linda is very welcoming and puts you at ease all the instructors are excellent and i highly recommend. the best part of it is the community and people I've met during my session.

Fantastic experience: Did the 6 weeks challenge with Shane and his crew and now lm signing up for more classes! They gave me the confidence and encouragement to get healthy!! Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: I did 8 wks in total 6 off them where the 6 wk challenge,the whole 8 wk was great Jordan the coach was brilliant..if u couldn't do only off the exercise there's always something so you're not missing out..shane is very easy to talk to and goes over everything good and bad.. I'll be bck after my holiday and do it over again, we'll worth it

Fantastic experience: Joining Unit 17 was the kick start I needed to get my mojo back! Shane is very supportive & positive, checking in weekly to see how things were going. I did 3 classes a week & really bought into it, the coaches are excellent & very helpful. I dropped 7lbs & 7 inches in the 6 weeks. If you’re hesitant about booking, stop dithering, you won’t regret it! Mary

Negative experience: Went in for a consultation for the 6 week transformation program. Shane went through the program thoroughly and pitched an early bird special which would be 100 euros off if I'd sign up within the following day since there were 4 spaces left. I replied within the day saying that I wasn't interested since I would be looking for different exercises. He replied saying that I wasn't serious and that I wasted his time. I simply replied, No hard feelings and best of luck. I'm happy that I didn't join considering his behaviour.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, with great coaches. They look after us as individuals with different needs/injuries, there are no impossibles with them. I am pleased to have found such a nice place. I am exercising and enjoying because the coaches are able to give me exercises around my injuries. Thanks, Shane, for all your support from day 1. Thanks, Jordan, for all the hard work during the training sessions. #IAmMoreThanMyInjuries

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym overall, really good coaching and a friendly atmosphere! The classes are both challenging and enjoyable. Would really recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I’m in my late 50’s and not someone who exercised much in the past. I started with Unit17 as part of the 4 week body reset programme in May and my aim was to get to a place where I enjoyed exercise and Unit17 certainly helped me achieve that. There is a great sense of community in the gym, classes are small and good fun ( can’t believe I’m using the words fun and exercise together ) but always challenging. Trainers keep a close eye on form and help push you beyond what you think your limits are. I’m so happy I joined and feel stronger now than I did 10 yrs ago. I will be a member here for many years to come.

Fantastic experience: Was very skeptical to join a gym at my age (60's plus) but shane and the team were all very encouraging.classes are small and fun. Food plan if you want. 3 classes a week which was tough but good.i noticed a difference already loosing inches off my body. Keeping it up so don't hesitate to join .guaranteed good progress.thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Great training team and very supportive. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to exercise, great gym, with great trainers... vibe is always nice & positive

Fantastic experience: I have just finished 4 week body reset program, it was fantastic great food plan along with excirse plan both explained well and how both work together to give you great results, Both Shane and all his team are excellent the way all the sessions are planned, all excersies are fully explained and demonstrated to us before each round of the class, weekly check up on you by text to see if any issues that they help you with. Overall I had good results and will continue on for even more, I would recommend this to anyone you is looking to start into getting back in shape again , I wish all at unit 17 all the best for the future and continued success

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the 4 week body reset at Unit 17. The programme was laid out very well and fully supported by the staff. The classes are excellent and the sense of community was great. I would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Unit 17 for anyone considering a body transformation. Despite regularly exercising, I couldn't shed the weight I gained during Covid. So I decided to try the "4 Week Kickstart Program" with Unit 17. Turns out it exceeded my expectations. The small class size allowed for more personalized attention from the trainer, who pushed and challenged me beyond my comfort zone. It was exactly what I needed to avoid slacking off. The personalized nutrition plan was a game changer, guiding me to consume the right balance of nutrients and portion sizes. The nutrition plan offers a wide variety of delicious meals without feeling challenging. The program fostered a supportive community where everyone encouraged each other and shared exercise and food plans. Shane also provided weekly check-ins, which further motivated me to stick to the program. As a bonus, I've also experienced better sleeping, higher energy levels, along with a more positive mindset. The 4-week program has established a healthy routine in my daily life, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm excited to continue with Unit 17 and look forward to more improvements in the future.

Fantastic experience: What a blast!!!! X 4 weeks later I have gr8 results!!!! From Shane directing traffic to the great coaches with compassion, I have really good results in my challenge I highly recommend unit 17 if you wanna turn yourself around.

Fantastic experience: Started with the 4 week challenge & im soo happy with my results 10lbs down!! Definitely recommend Unit 17 training, relaxed friendly and supportive. So happy that I’ve signed up to continue!!

Fantastic experience: I tried out the 6 week challenge at Unit 17 and didn’t think I would even last two weeks. But I’m still going regularly 3 months later. The gym has a great atmosphere! All the trainers Ciaran, Linda, Emma and of course the owner Shane are amazing. They talk you through everything and are always so friendly and helpful. Shane is also very responsive and knowledgeable and has always helped me with booking classes or giving advice. For anyone having doubts about starting at a gym or feeling nervous about going, this is definitely the place to try!

Fantastic experience: This is a great small gym that only works with (group) personal trainers. I’m lifting more than ever and I feel really motivated to be there even on weekends. Brought my wife and have been trying to convince some friends too!

Fantastic experience: It’s a great place to work out.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Unit 17 Health & Fitness to anyone. I'm a middle aged man who hasn't done much in years. I've tried many things but always felt out of place. These guys changed that, I'm 5 weeks in, 11 pounds down and feel better than I have physically and mentally in years. Thank you guys

Fantastic experience: Unit 17 is a Great space, friendly professional trainers (Shane, Linda, Emma & Ciaran) willing to give plenty of time & advice along the way. Feeling strong

Fantastic experience: Always enjoy my training. The instructors are always so friendly and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: Was really nervous and reluctant to start this journey needn't have worried. Loving it from Day 1. The Team are so kind, patient and make it fun.

Fantastic experience: A great challenge .only as difficult as you want it to be . No pressure but support . I am very happy with the results - thanks Shane ,Ciaran and the team

Fantastic experience: Not the usual or typical gym. Coaches are really nice and supportive. They’d make you feel welcomed and will guide you every step in the way. I’ve enrolled for the 6-week challenge and happy with my results. The program they’ve formulated for the challenge is perfect for someone like me who aims to be strong, to loose weight and lastly to be confident. Can’t believe I’ve dropped a dress size already. Wohooo!! Thanks Unit-17 and keep it up.

Fantastic experience: This is more than your average gym/training facility. All the trainers(Shane and Linda) in particular are so nice,friendly and welcoming. Have a genuine interest in all their clients. Everyone is made feel comfortable regardless of ability. Great range of classes, something for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend. I took part in a 12 week program at unit 17 and was initially met with a very knowledgable and friendly Shane who walked me through my first session. It had been some time since I had been in a gym but the setting and personal attention received was fantastic. Great tips on technique and exercise choices to cater to what I was looking for (Strengthening and conditioning for my return to badminton). I had some minor injuries accumulated over the years which were no problem for both Shane and Linda (equally as knowledgeable of a trainer) to accommodate and work around. They very quickly were able to see how hard I could be pushed and were fantastic at motivating me to train harder week by week without sacrificing on form. Something I very much appreciate. Would recommend them for any fitness level. For a first timer the environment and atmosphere is very welcoming making it easy to jump right in and get moving and then for the more advanced gym goer with their setup and knowledge they will for sure find great ways motivate you and help you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Unit 17. I did the 6 week transformation programme and it worked so much better than I hoped. I have continued on a continuous programme and very positive about it al.

Fantastic experience: Great team of coaches at Unit 17, always available to help, guide and provide encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Excellent training programs great friendly and very helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff and very helpful trainers.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Unit 17 for the past 16 weeks and have found the classes to be excellent. The guidance from the trainers is great, they help keep you on track by checking in with you regularly helping with areas you might be struggling with and assisting with maintaining accountability of yourself and what you set out to achieve.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful Gym with amazing trainers. Loved every minute of my time training.

Fantastic experience: First time I’ve ever signed up to a gym with personal trainers. The guys are excellent and there is a genuine personal touch to reaching goals etc.

Fantastic experience: Great team, making a difference!

Fantastic experience: If you looking for a good gym I couldn't recommend Unit 17 enough I there a good while now and the instructors are great Love that they check in with you to see how things are going ie diet workouts in case you might be struggling with anything. So give them a shout and go chat you certainly won't regret it . In fact you'll be delighted with how you feel

Fantastic experience: Unit 17 is an outstanding gym with a real personal touch. The gym has excellent Personal Trainers who are fully invested and genuinely interested in you achieving your goals. Little extras like weekly check-in forms to see how you’re doing with follow up is really personal to you. Also the recent gym newsletter fosters an ethos of community and communication. Can’t recommend highly enough
