Fantastic experience: Exactly where maps said it was. It's not on the main campus, but on the Ballymun road heading out of the city. The entrance is just before the Circle K garage.

Fantastic experience: You can get your full body workout here no matter what your sport. It can be very busy at the normal peak times but if you can go off peak its easy to hop from one machine to another. The freeweights gym is quite big and and has a variety of weights and machines. The selection of threadmills bikes and cross trainers is quite big and they also run a variety of classes which can be booked online once you have signed up and logged into your account. You can then cool off in the 25m pool with sauna and steam roon and jacuzzi aswell. After your workout is completed wind down with a coffee/juice in the coffee shop in foyer. Go on get down there and try it yourself. All this takes place under the watchful eyes of the qualified instructors.

Negative experience: was a great gym to use over the summer but good luck getting a workout after 11am it's absolutely packed from then until close.

Positive experience: You can subscribe online to join, and there are a few plans to choose from. Students and the elderly receive discounts. The gym offers a great variety of machines for cardio and weights, but some have been broken for months or need maintenance. There are some classes that you can book online, but there are no instructors available at the gym during the morning or afternoon. When they are at the gym, they are either seated at reception or giving classes; otherwise, they avoid interacting with members. I suggest making the most of the induction session to learn everything you need, because that's all the guidance you'll get. Most of the members are nice, except for the spoiled teens who spend 20 minutes sitting on a machine looking at their phones instead of exercising, or leaving everything behind as if their moms will tidy up after them. There is only one water fountain available near the treadmills, and it would be nice to have an extra one near the free weights. The changing room is large with plenty of lockers, enough showers, and toilets. There’s also a pool, sauna, and jacuzzi, but I can't comment on those as I haven't used them. Starbucks is available at the gym, but it closes soon after lunch. Overall, it's a nice gym and recommended.

Ziyech Neres 1 year ago

Negative experience: Everywhere you go you just see broken equipment in the gym.The jacuzzi was broken for 3 months at one point.Everytime I asked why they said the parts were on the way.They must have been coming on a wooden raft from China.There was also some strange behaviour outside the gym.The lockers in the changing rooms for the pool had a sign on them saying out of order for a while too. My final thoughts on the place are that I have never been to a stranger place in my life.

Positive experience: A great Facility. However, getting something from the tuckshop is an ordeal. The maps give wrong directions as the road it insists on taking you down you need an access key. I expected better from a university. A little disappointing

Negative experience: I am not member of staff nor student. I am good at reading people reaction. Members of staff did not want scrappy looking Eastern European with hint of attitude there. In fact so much that they avoided to show place and notified about a queue I would have to wait to become a new member. Hint received. Will have to go to other place where I will pay more, but will be appreciated for my money at least.
