One Arena

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities, great energetic and helpful staff! My gym anxiety was really relieved with the help of the lovely PT Danielle!

Fantastic experience: I am delighted with the impact the tailored personal training programme at One Arena is having on my physical / mental fitness and energy levels as I prepare for the Malin to Mizen Cycle Against Suicide cycle on May 21st. I did 130Km Ring of Dingle cycle again last Saturday in 28 minutes less than previously and my recovery time was much quicker thanks to Edward and his great team.

Fantastic experience: Great location & great team in One Arena! All staff are well experienced teach great classes!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility and great staff, they are always willing to go the extra mile

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility with great coaches, members and culture. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: One Arena is a place where everybody can excel, no matter what your fitness level is. The coaches are motivating, informative and friendly. They are always happy to offer advice and really care about each individuals progress. I joined One Arena in October 2021 having never stepped foot in a gym, the SGT classes have been a perfect fit for me. I would recommend them to anyone especially if you have anxiety about going to a gym. All exercises are explained and the coaches are always giving advice on how to improve. I can confidently say I have learned so much the last few months and I know I will continue to do so. The team are great and I would recommend everyone give it a go.

Fantastic experience: One Arena was recommended to me by a friend and I am since very grateful for her excellent recommendation! Since joining the gym I can honestly say I love going to my gym sessions. The dedication, compassion and genuine support given by each coach is just simply fantastic. With Coaches like Gemma who have guided me since my journey began in the gym, I can't go wrong. Over time I have built up my strength and fitness levels. Gemma along with all the other coaches are very friendly, professional and knowledgable. I am very thankful for all of their help and support since I joined last October.

Fantastic experience: I’ve waited 6 months to write this review because I wanted to ensure I could confidently say what I really think about One Arena. Six months in, I’m down 4kg in weight - you might this that doesn’t sound impressive but weight isn’t the name of the game at One Arena and they’re very clear about this from day 1. What my weight doesn’t tell you is that I’ve also gained 4kg of muscle and my body fat percentage is down 10%. Some may argue that it’s up to the individual to do the work, but I would say that a facility like One Arena makes everything easier and increases every chance of success. Having a group of friendly staff that really care about you as an individual makes going to the gym something you can look forward to. They are knowledgeable, helpful and can always scale exercises to accommodate injuries or ability - it’s genuinely a great place to spend your time. I usually cycle to the gym. One day when I wasn’t able to make it, I text the gym phone to let them know. However, Gemma (one of the coaches) missed my message. After the class Gemma called me to check in and make sure I was ok. She was afraid that maybe I had an accident on the bike and just wanted to ensure I was ok. We had a good laugh about it after but I also believe this perfectly sums up the excellent service and care One Arena - and their coaches - have for their members. Can’t recommend them enough. The least I could do was to ensure others knew about their quality!

Fantastic experience: My own name is Jose, I’ve been working here for 3 months and It only took me 1week to find out how good is this gym. I’ve never been in a place like this, people are so nice and all the monitors helps you and motivated you to achieve your goals. I was impress how is the relation between all the monitors and every single client in this company. So grateful to be working in such an amazing place! Thanks to all the monitors and Edward for accepting me in the One Arena family as one more!

Fantastic experience: I joined One Arena in September 2021 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After years of hopping from gym membership to gym membership I can confidently say I’ve found my forever gym. All the coaches in One Arena treat everyone with such respect, and push everyone to do their best. What I noticed very early on when I joined One Arena was the genuine interest the coaches take in all the members, making a huge effort to learn everyone’s name and find out a little bit about them. There’s a real sense of community in One Arena. They’ve found the balance between getting results and having a bit of fun along the way. Couldn’t recommend the place enough.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, coaches are all very friendly and make you feel comfortable.

Fantastic experience: I joined one arena in January and I can't recommend them enough. There is always a friendly and welcoming face to greet you when you walk in the door. The sgt classes feels similar to a pt within a small group of people and all the staff are amazing while you pushing you to do more with words of encouragement putting your fears of progressing at ease.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my time at one Areana. The staff are amazing very friendly really learnt a lot about fitness and nutrition. They have variety of classes available including small group training. Personal training slots, one hit. Boxfit and spinning classes. An excellent facility for all sorts of level of fitness new beginners to experienced.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best classes I've ever been to. Small group training is like PT but there's a group of us going through it together it's a great mix of strength and conditioning. Everyone is so friendly and supportive. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable they can tailor to suit all levels of fitness and injury. They are constantly changing and improving their delivery of training sessions so you never get bored and always get challenged!

Fantastic experience: One Arena is a fantastic facility. The group sessions feel like a PT session but in a small group. They vary the sessions and welcome feedback. It’s lovely to see the same faces at the group sessions also! The coaches are outstanding and will always motivate and support!

Fantastic experience: Been going to OneArena for 12 weeks now. Excellent gym, fully equipped and really great staff. Everyone there is really friendly and professional. Couldn't recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: Excellent strength and conditioning gym. Great facilities and really enjoyable classes. The coaches are great at demonstrating the exercise and tweaking each members form. Really enjoying this gym so far.

Fantastic experience: Such a brilliant gym. There is a great community there. The facility is state of the art. I have felt welcome since the first day I started. It's the first time in ages I enjoy going out the door to the gym rather than feeling I have to go! All the trainers are so supportive and really push you to your best.

Fantastic experience: I'm currently doing an internship here, It was a great surprise for me the work that they develop here, it is so personal and adapted to the person/athlete. All the good work done by Edward, Danielle, Dylan and Gemma is reflected in the quality of the training. I definitely recommend it to everybody.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train. I attend the small group training sessions there and the small numbers gives it a real family/team feel. The trainer's there are great (big hello to Danielle) and make you feel welcome at every session. Spotless facility with top equipment. Only regret is I didnt find Edward and the team at One Arena sooner.

Fantastic experience: I am currently on an internship with One Arena and from day one it has been an absolutely fantastic experience. Edward, Jake and Danielle have been so approachable, friendly and helpful. The attention to detail when programming and coaching is second to none. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and there is a constant buzz in the classes. I am thoroughly enjoying working in such a supportive, professional and motivating place.

Fantastic experience: Ed and his team have a very professional and friendly approach with their clients, very well run small group training classes which cater for all levels of fitness, the One Arena facilities are top class with top of the range equipment, the facility is kept spotlessly clean at all times. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: I joined One Arena after the 1st lock down and all sporting events cancelled, I needed to bring structure back into my training and focus on strength and conditioning. Also, I wanted to be part of the fitness community spirit that One Arena provides and feed off the energy to improve my fitness. with triathlons planned, the base strength would be a huge benefit for racing. In my most recent InBody, I was down 4% body fat, more stability in diet and good training habits part of the routine. I'll continue to build core strength, bring the cardio back in as races come back over time. One Arena's community spirit is excellent, there is informative and supporting coaches with a very balanced long term approach subtly tailored per individual depending on their goals. I really appreciate the focus on mobility/flexibility, after a hard life of beating the body up in sports and age not on my side the focus on mobility is really benefiting me, I feel so much better on a daily basis and recovery is also a lot better. I highly recommend the place for all levels of fitness - you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Having been to a number of gyms over the last couple of years, i can genuinely say One Arena is the best, my favourite and all you need. The Small group training is super effective, motivating and highly enjoyable, with over services being offered like 1 to 1, nutrition and consultation. Everyone from the staff to the other members, you’ll feel at home from Day 1. And to put the icing on the cake, in an ideal location ????????

Fantastic experience: David and I started with one arena in February this year and it was honestly a great decision in hindsight given the current circumstances. Ed and his team made every effort straight away to start live sessions and provide us with equipment so we can get the most out of home sessions. The accountability is one of the main factors that I love one arena. There are only a small number of people per class so once you book in you have to turn up and it’s the reason why we have been able to keep a good routine for the week. The classes are really well run and really push you every time so you feel great after it. 100% recommend one arena !

Fantastic experience: Having joined the One Arena Gym just over 3 months ago, I am delighted with my decision to do so. I have used various gyms over the years but can honestly say that Edward, Kiran and the team have been fantastic. I also think they should be commended for their professionalism and enthusiasm throughout what must be very challenging circumstances trying to run a business/gym with Level 5 COVID restrictions etc. During this time they have been so welcoming, listened to my personal goals and continue to offer great encouragement and advice. The gym facilities, classes and on-line classes are excellent and their format means that I can make very efficient use of my time. I can feel great improvements already and look forward to continuing on my journey with them. I would highly recommend One Arena.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym for an excellent price. I have been a member of one arena for 5 months now and wish I started earlier! The small group classes are the perfect option for those on a budget who want the feel of 1 v 1 training. Whether classes were in the gym or online, Edward and the team always make sure each individual gets the most out of every session and are very helpful with any fitness/ nutrition related queries I have. Also, with many classes on throughout the day, I find it easy to fit them in around my own daily schedule. They have built up a lovely community and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Fantastic experience: I originally arrived at One Arena working on the new renovation. After spending just one day there I made the decision to join. Ed and the team have been fantastic it has been my first time doing pt and I've found it amazing compared to just hitting the gym alone. The support, care and overall experience has been second to none. I find myself growing not just physically but mentally. Couldn't be happier to have found this gem and looking forward to the future

Fantastic experience: I started in one arena after Christmas and straight away I felt motivated and comfortable. Ed, Sinead and the team are so passionate, genuine and knowledgeable about all areas of health and fitness. The facilities are great, there is a big open space to get a good workout in. The fitness classes have a good balance of strength and conditioning. What I love about one arena is how good they are at explaining each exercise and making sure you are using proper form to avoid injury. The team are so friendly and approachable and are always adapting to everyone’s individual training needs. I started their live online classes (due to covid 19) and they are great. I am really getting a good workout in and the classes are coming across so well on video. I would highly recommend One Arena to anyone looking to improve their fitness or simply begin their fitness journey. Keep up the great work and looking forward to getting back in the gym as soon as we can 

Fantastic experience: One Arena is a fantastic environment to go to the gym in from SGT to yoga. Their transition to online has been brilliant and the coaches are engaging so well even though it’s a difficult time for everyone. I started in One Arena being nervous about the whole thing but the coaches made me feel so at ease. Anna, Kevin and Kiran are so personable and do everything they can to help you progress, really going above and beyond for everyone! I’d highly recommend One Arena and look forward to returning to the gym for in person classes.

Fantastic experience: Have been with the One Arena with the last three months and I love it! I am delighted to be with a gym who takes such great care and attention to detail to its members, especially providing us with classes and equipment during the lockdown. The level of personalisation from Ed and the team is second to none. The different classes also provides a great level of variety which is very sustainable.

Fantastic experience: Edward, Sinead and the entire team at One Arena have been nothing short of Wonderful these past few months. Having trained with various other gyms I can wholeheartedly say Edward has built a fantastic team atmosphere with both his trainers and his clients. Every session is coached to suit every individual so you never feel left out or unsure of what you are doing. The SGT sessions are challenging yet allow you to push your body to the limit you enjoy while reaping the benefits of improved strength, fitness and overall mental positivity. I thoroughly enjoyed Edwards 6am sessions before Covid19 and I still look forward to logging on for the online sessions One arena are now running for all it's members!

Fantastic experience: After being a member of several gyms over the years I can honestly say One Arena has the best and most professional trainers I have come across. The owner is an absolute gent and from the first minute you walk in the door they are invested in you and your health. Keep up the good work guys. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: One Arena is a superb gym. The coaches are excellent and passionate about their work and make sure to get the best out of you. They are very friendly, patient and helpful no matter what fitness level your at. There is a great atmosphere at One Arena that makes you feel comfortable and motivated to push yourself constantly. I would recommend this highly to those who want to become more fit and healthy.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym with new state of the art equipment. Great coaches who are enthusiastic and well educated and they somehow remember everyone's name! A great title for a gym considering there's yoga and neuromuscular Therapy available in house. I personally really enjoy the SGT, I enjoy weight training and appreciate the training rotas that are on the blackboard. 100% would recommend!

Fantastic experience: If you need to get fit and healthy One Arena is the perfect fit for everyone. Ed makes you feel so welcome. I was nervous meeting him first but he makes the process so easy. The training is suitable for all levels of fitness. The two lads Kevin and Kiran are brilliant at what they do. They push you to your limits and beyond. They really want to help you achieve your goals. If you need them they are only a phone call away. They go above and beyond to help you. Its a family environment at One Arena and I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with One Arena.

Fantastic experience: I joined One Arena during lockdown and was doing online sessions. These were amazing not only for my physical well being but also kept routine and positivity during a challenging time. Since the gym reopened I've enjoyed training with Sinead, Edward and Sam and they are all professional, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable in their field. The small groups and specialised training means you are well known and not just a number, but it also means you are watched closely and cant take it easy. I would definitely recommend One Arena!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Cork! I attended sessions at the gym and online. For anyone working from home and finding it hard to switch off at the end of the day the online classes are amazing and have helped me so much with this. Ed and Kiran make an effort to get to know each member and make One Arena not just a gym but a community.

Fantastic experience: I started with One Arena around three months ago as I was trying to find an adult boxing class in Cork and a colleague suggested One Arena. It's been a great experience from the start. All the staff are extremely friendly and personable and this makes it easy for the clients to be similar so it's a really nice environment. The boxing classes are excellent and the coaches know how to deliver a serious workout without leaving you sore the next day. I had also started the yoga class which was great so looking forward to more of those post LD! The Small Group Training classes are great so I'll be doing those online over the next few weeks. If you're looking for a gym with a human touch I'd recommend One Arena ;) John

Fantastic experience: One Arena has an excellent work environment and it has offered me a new challenge in my career in the fitness industry. The opportunity to grow as a coach and person in such a great facility excites me. In my short time here so far I have been blown away by the desire Edward and the One Arena team have to provide the best possible service to the people of Cork to improve their health and performance. I am really looking forward to meeting more of the members in the coming weeks and months and getting fully immersed into the family atmosphere the staff and clients have created here.

Fantastic experience: I have been part of One Arena for close to 2 months and I can only speak highly of this exceptionally run facility. The training classes challenge me every single time and the team add variety to the training exercise that add a pleasant mix to each workout. Ed and the team are always available to help and share advice. Simply put.. 5 star. Keep up the good work guys!!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Edward and the staff at One Arena for just over a year now. Everyone is very approachable and professional. There is a thorough assessment done at the start. There's always a great atmosphere in the varied training sessions, with good interaction with class participants instructor. Also, there is excellent support with varied online classes during the current restrictions. Definitely the place to check out for your training needs.

Fantastic experience: I joined One Arena during lockdown and was doing online sessions. These were amazing not only for my physical well being but also kept routine and positivity during a challenging time. Since the gym reopened I've enjoyed training with Sinead, Edward and Sam and they are all professional, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable in their field. The small groups and specialised training means you are well known and not just a number, but it also means you are watched closely and cant take it easy. I would definitely recommend One Arena!

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym, Staff & Atmosphere. I recently joined One Arena after hearing about the small group training classes that they offered. This small group training style really appealed to me as one of the main reasons that I had put off joining anywhere was down to not having any experience in a gym or around any strength/weight training so it was something that was really outside of my comfort zone. From the minute I stepped foot into One Arena, Kiran and Ed could not have been more welcoming and helpful to me. Every one of the trainers holds a real duty of care to each member and this comes across clearly in every session. I think this is what sets One Arena apart from other facilities and have found this constant support & guidance throughout the sessions invaluable as someone who really needed it when I first joined. Not only are all of the trainers extremely helpful, there is also a really positive atmosphere every-time you walk into the gym making it a really nice place to be and train in. I could not recommend One Arena more as an amazing place to improve your overall physical and mental wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: One Arena is a fantastic place to work in. Edward is an amazing coach/colleague/friend and puts so much effort into his staff and clients. The One Arena team are so kind, caring and are full of knowledge. I always enjoy coming in, as I’m always having the craic with the staff and the members, while also coaching something I’m passionate about. The members and staff make the place so enjoyable to work in. It's almost like a second home to me. It’s an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity of working here at One Arena.

Fantastic experience: I joined One Arena just after the lockdown finished. I was looking for a place I could get the most out of myself in a short space of time whenever I went in. Eddie and the team have helped me massively in achieving this. My fitness is on the rise, weight is on the way down and my overall energy and optimism is sky high. If you are looking for a place to train, develop and make a few friends along the way, then look no further. Thank you One Arena

Fantastic experience: One Arena is a great gym. Ed & the other trainers are amazing, knowledgeable & supportive. I really appreciate how adaptive they are to my needs & as I am new to the gym scene, I found their training very inclusive. I would recommend them to everyone

Fantastic experience: I first joined One Arena back in January. It was a great experience from my first consultation. I had a detailed chat with Ed (the owner) and walk through how the classes and payments work. And how the app and nutrition plans work. The Small Group Training's are great. It gives you a little competitive edge while also allowing the trainers to give you enough individual instruction and motivation. All the trainers are fantastic, with great PT knowledge, great ways to motivate each client and also being friendly (most important when you're going to a gym). During the recent outbreak of Covid 19 they have excelled expectation. When they closed to help the nation prevent the spread, they contacted all clients, by call and text, to see we were all safe and well and to ensure gym sessions would still go on. It was less than 2 days and there were already online gym sessions which have been really well attended. They have even taken on a yoga instructor at this difficult time. There is Boxing, Yoga, Fitness Classes and SGT (PTs) and sort you out with personalised nutrition plans so there's lots of choice. All the staff are friendly and motivational. Would highly recommend joining. Even just give them a call and see what you think. Thanks Ed and the team!

Fantastic experience: I began training with Edward 5 months ago and I am delighted with my progress. I thoroughly enjoy every session I attend at One Arena, with either of the trainers Edward, Naeema, Holly or Sinead. One Arena provides a fantastic atmosphere, where each trainer is professional, caring and patient, with superb attention to detail. They are also highly educated in terms of fitness and training and they pass on this knowledge incredibly well to their clients. All of this combined with their fantastic personalities makes each session even more enjoyable. As a musician, I had a lot of bad habits relating to posture and muscle tension prior to starting at One Arena. Edward worked with me to improve this and to alleviate muscle tension in certain areas, through specific exercises and stretches, which was extremely helpful. There has been a massive improvement in my fitness, strength and health since beginning in One Arena. I would highly recommend Edward and his team to anybody no matter what fitness level you are at!

Fantastic experience: I started with Edward and the team at One Arena only a few weeks ago and already I feel better than I have in ages. Edward made me feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment I walked through the door, as did everyone else! I was really nervous to start somewhere and something new, but I could not recommend Edward and One Arena anymore. I never thought id be someone who ‘enjoys’ going to the gym, but already I honestly couldn’t imagine my week without One Arena. The facility is modern, and the opening hours and location make it easy to fit around my busy schedule. Edward is always on hand to help and takes the time to fully understand your goals and truly helps you achieve them. He almost makes it easy (almost ) and keeps you motivated every step of the way. Starting at One Arena has been one of the best gifts I could have given myself, its time fully for myself, to work on myself and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I started going to One Arena two months ago and I’m delighted with the results I’m seeing. Never felt better and the trainers make the workout so enjoyable. Edward and the team are very welcoming and build your workout around what you want. The facilities are excellent and great equipment to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to feel fit and healthy!
