Club Vitae Health & Fitness Club - Cork (Clayton Hotel)

Fantastic experience: As a member who goes in regularly I feel compelled to write a review, simply because the staff in the Leisure Centre are just so fab. Beth and Billy, in particular, are two incredible young people. They make you feel welcome and are always in great form. They know when to be courteous and professional and when to have the craic. I always look forward to going in to the pool/gym, and if either Beth or Billy are working, it's a bonus. The gym/pool facilities are great, but it is the staff of this great Leisure Centre that make it 5 Star.

Negative experience: Very expensive for a gym that always closes early, has barely any equipment, and has a tiny steam room and sauna that seem to always be faulty. Hard to justify

Negative experience: management are not nice and they treated me horribly. wouldn’t recommend going there.

Negative experience: Its not a bad gym by any means but they are a lot of gyms in cork with more equipment and which cost less. €55 is very pricy and the €35 admin fee is a joke considering joining takes 10 minutes and is entirely online with no human interaction. Also they don't allow people to charge their devices on the sockets in the gym which seems cheap. Might be worth it if you are interested in swimming but if that is not the case there are a lot of better options in cork.

Positive experience: Swimming pool is a bit small

Fantastic experience: Staff are brilliant especially Shane and Dylan, always available for any issues, gym is perfect for all types of level's. Locker room ideal and plenty of room. Sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and pool are one of the best you'll find in the city

Fantastic experience: Very good price, and you get a gym with professional equipment , steam room,jaquzi ,pool and the suff are so friendly. Funny, and one is even speaking Greek. Very positive place , highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: The gym is not huge but it is completely complete, plus the subscription is easy to pay and you can use the jacuzzi, sauna and pool. Even very happy with the staff and facilities

Positive experience: Very welcoming staff lovely gym an pool sauna steam room an jaqzi if in cork highly recommend.

Negative experience: Woman was sitting in men's changing room on her phone, not even getting changed. When I mentioned it to staff, I was told she identifies as a man. This is unacceptable. If I was to go into woman's dressing room, identifying as a woman, I'm sure their reaction would be totally different.

Fantastic experience: Pools v good and everyone is friendly!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym for value. The gym is getting a face-lift at the moment. The staff at the front desk are extremely competent and friendly. The locker rooms are decent and the cleaners are constantly going around. You can pay more somewhere else and receive a lot less.

Negative experience: the worst gym in Cork, very small, dirty and even the areas such as the pool, sauna and Jacuzzi are not constantly cleaned, the floor is always wet in the changing room. horrible not recommended

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, pool and spa. The staff is amazing.

Negative experience: The staff have no customer service skills. I have been a member there for 3 months and the jacuzzi has been broken 4 times. They keep it off so they have less work to do and can have more time to spend on their phones and to sulk at the reception desk.

Negative experience: The receptionist working today at 12:30 didn’t even greet guests to the gym. This is the worst gym in terms of customer service I have ever experienced. Very lazy staff

Fantastic experience: Very well run gym. Staff are friendly and helpful. Equipment is kept in good condition and changing rooms are always kept very clean. Nice pool. Good location if you're working or living in the city centre. Can be busy enough at peak times but that's the case with any decent leisure centre.

Negative experience: The sauna is cold and the jacuzzi is broken.

Negative experience: The jacuzzi has been broken for the past 2 weeks. No apology given to members. The staff have not been trained in customer service, aggressive towards customers

Negative experience: Very bad customer service with rude staff

Fantastic experience: Excellent!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff

Negative experience: Unprofessional staff with zero customer service

Positive experience: The staff is always lovely and helpful. The pool is amazing and clean even though it's not really big. Just a small cons when swimming classes for babies are happening, it's very noisy and very messy and we don't have space to swim anymore. Other than that, I'm happy for this club that has an ideal location.

Negative experience: Used to visit the pool pay as go once a week for couple of weeks . Went today with two children and surprised that saying it's only for members to use the facilities and was mistaken let me in before , more than 6 or 7 times mistake !!! And surprised it the manager Lopes who should of handle it more professionally instead of send us back and rolling kids evening but was offering me to take a membership so he can let me in , of course with your roud attitude o wouldn't take membership even if I was going to..

Fantastic experience: All facilities are good

Positive experience: Nice

Fantastic experience: Beautiful gym and pool. Very helpful and friendly staff. Extremely clean.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, and friendly staff

Negative experience: I’m not yet a member but I’m a parent of one of the kids attending the Turtle Tots class that is held here. I honestly felt borderline harassed by one of the employees manning the pool. Turtle tots policy is we’re only allowed to be there 10mins before class (I wasnt fully aware of that at the time— we were new members). My toddler takes time to settle in so we came 20mins before the class. A member of the staff approached us in a very rude, condescending and reprimanding manner, talking to me as if I’m a savage dying to swim in their precious pool. Mind you, i had a crying toddler on my hands. So yeah, rude staff. I may not be a Club Vitae member, but that doesnt mean I get to be treated with less dignity and respect.

Fantastic experience: Staff are always lovely on reception. Fab pool and jacuzzi

Fantastic experience: Expensive but worth it.

Positive experience: I've been a member of this gym for around 4 months now. I've found it to be a good gym and chose it because you have access to a gym, pool, steam room, sauna and jucuzzi. There is a good selection of free weights and plenty of CV machines to use. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only reasons I didn't give it five stars is because often there is a bad smell in the shower area, the floor in the changing room can often be quite wet and dirty and does not really get attended to often enough and the parking charges. There is a parking charge of €1.50 for the first two hours and the then €2.50 after this. Often, if you go to use the gym and then spend some time in the sauna after, by the time you've showered and changed, you often go just over the two hour point making a regular gym membership suddenly increase by around €80 a month!

Positive experience: Great gym facilities although very busy in the evenings. Nice to be able to use the pool, sauna and jacuzzi afterwards. Most the staff are very good.

Fantastic experience: Has plenty of equipment, quite clean, friendly staff. Really nice pool, jaccuzzi, steam room and sauna. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Between their fantastic workout facility paired with their friendly and knowledgeable staff you won't find anywhere better! Thank you Club Vitae Cork City for helping me stay fit!

Fantastic experience: Great place .Staff are very good and helpful.Good fitness programmes.

Fantastic experience: Great location, friendly staff, loving the bwfore work / lunch time sessions. Feel great for the day

Negative experience: I've been going in the swimming pool for 3 weeks now and, even though the rules are written in a lot of places, a lot of people don't respect them. In the past times I was there many people in the pool were not wearing swimming hats and nobody from the staff told them anything. It bothers me but I always closed an eye until today. This afternoon this big guy came straight from his trainins session, sweaty and wearing only his training shorts. He dived (which is also forbidden) without taking any shower first or wearing any swimming hat. People from the staff saw him twice without saying anything and, when I asked him at least to wear a swimming hat, he told me to f**k off. This is unacceptable. I'm not going there anymore.

Negative experience: The gym has really gone downhill since it was rebranded to Club Vitae. We now have personal trainers marching around the gym shouting at trainees when you are trying to workout seemingly every time that we go in. Saturdays is essentially a no go for the pool and changing area. Childrens swimming lessons take up most of the pool area while a gang of fully clothed moms hang out in the dressing room like its a coffee shop. The 'under 6' rule is completely ignored. If female, be prepared to have curious groups of older boys standing around staring at you getting dressed and leaving the changing room doors wide open as they run in and out.

Negative experience: Been a member for a year. Place is constantly dirty, feels like it is never cleaned.Something is always broken, be it jacuzzi, water fountain or dryer, at least one of those things is probably broken right now and staff has no idea. Sorry guys, rushed into an annual membership and not gonna renew.

Positive experience: For the price of the membership you would expect more.

Positive experience: Good gym, however the changing room is terrible - barely any lockers working and very old. Rowing machines not working properly either. For the price we pay they should fix these things...

Positive experience: The gym is fine apart from the rowing machines not working property. The pool and Sauna are nice, never too busy. The big let down is the changing rooms; most of the lockers don't work, often there's no toilet paper and there is hair and dirt everywhere.

Positive experience: Good facilities, but changing rooms are in very poor and warn out conditions .

Fantastic experience: Good place

Fantastic experience: Perfect place for training and/or relaxing.Very comfortable.There is a well equipped gym with brand new body building and cardio machines and a number of tapis roulant. A nice 20 m long swimming pool, with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Clean and tidy, nice atmosphere. Once you are a member you can also get professsional massages in their wellness area at discounted prices. Staff are extremely available as well. Locker rooms are ok. Highly recommendable.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff, great location, not too overcrowded

Fantastic experience: Great gym, sauna and steam room, cable machine, lat pull down, dumbbells to 40kg lifting platform

Fantastic experience: Good gym, pool (1.4m), jacuzzi, steam room & sauna. Helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Comprehensive, pool, sauna, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant spa experience

Positive experience: Good gym, attentions staff, great swimming pool and saunas, however the changing room area is awful, filthy and most lockers are broken. For the price of the membership I must say it is disappointing.

Positive experience: Wonderful facility with friendly, knowledgeable and supportive staff.

Negative experience: Recently done up and new machines, lockers etc which is great but it's still small and cramped. 10 people and it is crowded and can be 2 or 3 personal trainers on top of that as well so very hard to use equipment effectively.

Positive experience: changing rooms are filthy

Negative experience: Poor cleanliness in the swimming pool area and changing rooms. Gym really smells bad.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff, great location, not too overcrowded

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant spa experience

Fantastic experience: Facilities are great, plenty of machines for cardio, when peak times, can be difficult to work oit properly but patience is key. Being your towel or clean any of the benches or machine you are planning to use, it seems people there forget to bring theirs. Sauna, jacuzzi and pool, quite good too and if you like to join the classes which is a great addition, you pay way less than any non member.

Fantastic experience: Used the pool and sauna and they were lovely. All very clean and not too busy. Really enjoyed the place.
