Fergal McCarthy 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: I applied for 6 sessions in 6 weeks with Ciaran (gym coach) and I can not thank him enough for the hardwork and dedication he provided for me. Ciaran provided me with great knowledge on how to better my nutrition, diet, working on my strength training, weightlifting, cardio, power muscle building etc. He also went through different types of workouts and where to use them effectively. He created personalised goals to reach in the gym each week with a high focus on technique. Extremely satisfied with the service and commitment Ciaran provided.10/10

Fantastic experience: Love gym and swimming pool there. Only problem is that their shower water temperature in upstairs women's changing room is way too hot for last few years. It is nearly painful to shower there.

Thank you again!

Cristina L.P 2 years ago

Negative experience: We Are from Spain, and we came to Offaly for Summer vacation all July...my two girls (16 and 9 Years old) are very good at swimming... They learned When they were babies. I took them to the pool at Birr leisure centre yesterday at 4 p. m. They wanted to spend the afternoon there. And they went out very angry ...when we picked them up. They told us that the lifeguards were very rude to them. They did not let them do anything. We won't return for sure

Birr Leisure Centre

Hi Cristina, Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts and feedback. Your girls were assessed by two of our experienced swim instructors/lifeguards, as is protocol for people aged 16 and younger who come to the facility without parental supervision. Following this assessment we determined that whilst your older daughter may have been suitable for the deep end of the pool, your younger daughter was not. Additionally, they wished to use the jacuzzi, and were informed they were not allowed to use it as we have strict rules stating that only individuals older than 16 years can use this part of the facility. This was likely the source of their frustration. I hope this clears up this incident for you, if you have any further enquiries or questions please feel free to contact us via phone or email. All the best.

Fantastic experience: Lovely facilities, gym, pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, cryospa. lunchtime special €4 entry is a bargain. Would be extra to add on the cryospa. Every time I'm in Offaly I go in because you just can't beat the value this amazing place has to offer.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend birr leisure gym enough. I’m a member since January the two boys cian and Sean are a credit to the gym they are a great help doing up programmes and always there to help if needed! The equipment is second to none all brand new and everything u need for your work out wether it be cardio or weights it’s all there The classes are great to add into your usual routine and feel like you have had a very good intense workout and push you out of your comfort zone!!! They have sauna and jacuzzi and steam room as well as the new cyrospa which is great for the recovery after workouts so it’s all under one roof!!! The staff are very friendly and I cannot recommend cian and Sean enough they are a huge asset to the gym and very dedicated to they’re job and helping people on their fitness journey!!!

We do have a price for people who are students/unemployed or over 60. I'm not sure why you think we don't.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic spot with great staff who really care for their customers. Warm and clean changing rooms with toasty saunas and steamrooms, jacuzzi's and a versatile pool with a grand deep end. Kayaking Courses are ran in the winter with Lough Derg Water Sports so come on down and get paddling. Our Rescue & Rolling Clinic suits the beginner and advanced paddlers but get in quick as places are limited.
