One life Fitness South Terrace

Positive experience: The prices are fair and the gym is well-located in the city centre. Members of the staff are nice. However the machines are very old. When it's very crowed in the peak hours it's very difficult to work out. They only have one Smith machine, which is not enough considering how many people go there.

Fantastic experience: It's a really good well equipped gym which is very spacious. I also attended a Ride class led by Coach Nick which was really good.

Negative experience: After i cancelled my monthly subscription due to moving, I still had to pay for an extra month even though I knew I wouldn’t be going. That’s ridiculous!

Negative experience: I tried to call many times in both gyms and sent few emails without results for an issue whit membership. After many calls someone answered in Camden quay but they don’t have a general admin they said just to send emails

Negative experience: Everywhere says that the closing time on Fridays is 9PM, the new worker (the Transformer) literally kicked us out at 20:43. Or you guys change Google maps and your website or you close at the normal times.

Fantastic experience: Top class gym. Nick's classes are the best!

Fantastic experience: I’d been going to a different gym for months before joining Dan M's Coached programme, lifting very light weights and never really progressing. Since training with him, he’s helped me push past the limits in my head, lift so much stronger, and actually believe in myself. Even though I whinge about the weight sometimes , by always trusting him I’ve built strength physically and mentally. He’s so supportive and keeps me focused on what really matters — like not stressing over the scales and just going by how I look and feel. He’s also helped me have a healthier mindset with food (yes, he tells me I can still have pizza ). My progress has been unreal and I couldn’t recommend him enough if you want a trainer who actually cares about your journey and helps you get real results.

Positive experience: I really like the place, but it’s extremely warm. An AC is definitely needed or at least more fans.

Fantastic experience: I love itt

Negative experience: Hot weather and no AC or fan in the gym in South Terrace. In a previous Google Review comment they mentioned that there is AC and fans but when asking the manager and the team they said there is no AC there. We have been asking for fans for the gym since last Summer and none has been provided. It is warm, it becomes smelly and even dangerous when it is too hot as there is no air flow at all!

Negative experience: I wanted to share a deeply disappointing experience from my first day at ONE LIFE FITNESS , South Terrace. What should have been the start of a fitness journey turned into an ordeal of discrimination and unprofessionalism. Incident: - A personal trainer demanded I should vacate equipment mid-workout to train his trainees, using aggressive and racially charged language - When I stood my ground, staff threatened expulsion and later falsely accused of misconduct to avoid accountability. - Despite escalating to management, ONE LIFE FITNESS has refused a refund and doubled down on silencing my concerns. Why This Matters: No one should face hostility or prejudice while trying to better themselves. Consumer rights and inclusivity are non-negotiable. My Ask: To the Community: Stay vigilant. Share your experiences and hold businesses accountable. I’ve reported this to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) and the **Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC). Let’s ensure no one else endures this. *

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym some amazing equipment, staff is super helpful and friendly, showers are really nice

Fantastic experience: My go to gym, sound

Negative experience: False Advertising!!! Beware of Fake News Best Prices! I received a text message stating Lowest Prices Ever. Peeked my interest to find out the so called "Best Price Ever " They Kept beating around the bush and wouldn't give a straight answer. Then finally gives the Price which are €200 Higher than what I used to pay! From €300 to €500 for 12 Months Membership? Jokers! Blaming it on the Pandemic and inflation, Cop On! ASDA Roll back Prices better than this place!

Negative experience: I’ve parked here before without issue, so the sudden enforcement (despite following the yellow box guidance given by staff) was confusing. When I asked for clarification, I was met with abruptness that felt dismissive. I remained calm and respectful, yet raising concerns was labeled as “entitled,” which is disappointing. Clearer communication and empathy go a long way—rules can be enforced without making customers feel unheard or judged.

Fantastic experience: I've always struggled with maintaining gym habits and consistency, but Daniel M. At this gym has just been an outstanding PT. He makes working out and gym-ing feel accessibsle and enjoyable, and i didn't think that was ever gonna be an option for someone like me. From when I joined back in August of 2024 to now, I've seen amazing progress in myself and the others in my pt class. It's 100% worth its value and more. The staff are incredibly friendly, a truly great bunch, and the two gyms across the city are both awesome and well-kept. Really cannot recommend this gym enough to people.

Positive experience: Best gym I've been in (and I've been in quite a few in different countries over the decades) for a very long time. It's relatively low frills compared to some other gyms in the city but also good value and personally I don't need a sauna or pool. What counts are the staff, the equipment and the atmosphere. As an older woman (who does not have a gym bunny body!) gyms can be uncomfortable places where you get the vibe, esp. from staff, that this is not for you. Not so at OneLife on Sth. Tce. There are some muscle bros but no part of the gym has been hijacked by them (which is usually the case) nor would you ever feel intimidated or unwelcome as a woman. The staff wouldn't tolerate it anyway and I've seen testosterone fuelled behaviour etc shut down v. quickly. The female changing room is always very clean with pleasing aesthetics. There's loads of space for mat work upstairs and quite a few classes to avail of. Relieved also that while there's background music it's not deafening so you can actually hear your own stuff. The equipment is very varied and plentiful, tho my only quibble would be that it takes seemingly weeks to get a crosstrainer fixed or a new battery for a rowing machine. Tho that may be beyond the control of local staff. My favourite part has been doing semi-personal weights with Dan M twice a week for some months now. Before that I only lifted small weights because I simply thought I wouldn't be able to do more. Dan's training has transformed my strength, fitness and most of all, my attitude towards what I think I can do. He's endlessly encouraging but still challenges you and you know you'll do it safely too because he knows his business. Dan's positivity is catching and even tho I'm the only woman in the group and the eldest by over 3 decades, I've always felt included and we have good craic too. He's really good at motivating people and his saying 'the only bad session is the one that didn't happen' has become my mantra in my occasional mental battle to get to the gym. Overall when I walk in to Sth Tce I feel as if I belong and that's no small thing in a gym, for me at any rate.

Negative experience: Hi, I wanted to share some feedback as I recently cancelled my membership at One Life Fitness after a disappointing experience. A few weeks ago, I was told not to park on the yellow box outside the gym, which I respected. But yesterday, I parked in front of the gym (not on the yellow box), and a staff member told me that the space is now reserved only for coaches. This rule wasn’t in place before and was never clearly communicated. What’s frustrating is that even if there’s available space right in front of the gym, customers can’t use it—it’s now apparently “registered” only for coaches. So, members like me are expected to find parking elsewhere, while space sits empty unless a coach happens to arrive. The staff member wasn’t rude, but her approach wasn’t very friendly or professional either. When I asked if she was the owner, she said yes—which didn’t seem truthful, especially since I hadn’t seen her at the reception until that day. As a paying customer, I felt dismissed and unvalued. Members should be treated fairly and given clear communication. Just wanted to share this in the hope it’s taken seriously

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Very friendly and welcoming staff. But have to give Dan M in Coached as special shout out. Was struggling for years before joining his group. My strength and fitness are greatly improved and my confidence has shot up. Can't recommend Dan highly enough. Best man for the job.

Negative experience: I used to be a member at OneLife Fitness for quite some time, and while the staff and trainers are friendly and knowledgeable, the overall gym experience leaves a lot to be desired. The equipment is poorly maintained—some machines have been broken for nearly a year without repair (for example, the cable machine near the office has been stuck in the top position for 12+ months). It’s frustrating to see so much focus on marketing, social media updates, uniforms, and logos while the actual facility and its equipment are neglected. Hygiene is also a serious issue. Some members have such intense body odour that it becomes nauseating, and despite raising this concern multiple times, nothing seems to be done. The men’s bathroom is regularly in a poor state, and general cleanliness across the gym could be massively improved. Additionally, old, broken equipment (like out-of-service pedal bikes) takes up valuable space instead of being repaired or replaced with machines that members actually want to use. One of the most disappointing aspects has been trying to cancel or freeze my membership. It has been a total nightmare—requests don’t go through, there’s little to no communication, and I’ve been charged for months where my membership was supposed to be paused or cancelled. It feels disorganised and unfair. For €50/month, the value simply isn’t there. The gym’s location is convenient, but unless major improvements are made, I can’t recommend OneLife Fitness based on the current state of the facility and management.

Fantastic experience: Been to a good few gyms all over cork and this is by far the best. Staff is amazing and friendly and it has a wide range of equipment.

Positive experience: The gym feels overcrowded, with machines crammed together, making it difficult to move around. Many of the machines are outdated, and the benches are torn, which is disappointing considering the membership fees and registration costs. While there is an upper floor open for use, taller individuals like myself might find it problematic as the low-hanging metal beams pose a risk of hitting your head.”

Negative experience: Academia precária, sem manutenção, equipamentos velhos e não tem espaço pra se mexer e muito desorganizada, cheiro ruim …

Positive experience: My experience with the manager is that the receptionist was very bad, rude and unprofessional. I paid €15 each day to try the gym and I think they should be more friendly with new customers. The British receptionist helped me with whatever I needed. Thank you dear. I liked the gym, it's stylish, some of the equipment needs to be replaced.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of ONE LIFE Gym for over six months, and overall, it’s a great place to work out. I also joined their SPPT coached classes twice a week with Dan Hoare @opd_fitness. He is an amazing instructor, very profesional, knowledgeable and talented! I am very happy with my progress!!! The equipment is modern and well-maintained, and there’s a good variety for both strength training and cardio. The gym is clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, it can get quite crowded during peak hours, making it hard to find an available machine. Membership pricing is reasonable, especially with the group classes included. I’d recommend this gym to anyone looking for a clean and well-equipped space to work out.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend if you’re considering making a change. If you’re anything like myself who was back and forth about taking that step because I was worried I would be out of place in the gym, not know what I was doing and just wasting my time. 3 months in, that couldn’t be further from the truth!. Special shoutout to coach Dan Moloney, Who helped ease my fears and reassured me the gym is for everyone, each person has their own reasons for being there and most importantly to enjoy the process! I acquired a membership allowing me use of the gyms. As well as joining the semi private Coached classes. A class of roughly 5/6 people of all ages and backgrounds who meet once a week to work under the guidance of a trainer. These classes are an underrated asset and fantastic for the social aspect and support we give each other. Again shoutout to our trainer Dan M who is very knowledgeable and passionate about fitness, as well as being very adaptive to different people’s needs and will adjust each persons personal routine accordingly. In the last 2 months I have dropped 10kg in weight. My frame and shape have changed noticeably and I am much more confident. As a frequent runner I have noted I no longer suffer from muscle cramps and pains which previously affected me on the regular. I have learned so much already about myself and how fitness works. Now not only do not fear the gym, I actively look forward to going!

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing! Good facilities, atmosphere is always upbeat, and the instructor Dan M is incredible. His boxing classes are intense, fun, and really get results. If you’re looking for a great workout and an instructor who really knows his stuff, Dan M is the guy. Highly recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: Joined about two months ago and very happy I did..great gym.l great equipment and always a cool vibe in there

Fantastic experience: I got a free pass for this gym from a friend, I have a gym membership for the last two years already but nick was so welcoming , helpful and knowledgeable when I visited that I actually signed up at one life as well. I travel further to one life than my other gym whenever I can because the equipment is so good, it's absolutely spotless and the staff are just incredibly friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: I give the one star because I had an issue with the Internet where it show Internet access denied. Whilst other members had Internet access. The Internet Web page I go into is onelifefitness members where you SIGN IN with your EMAIL AND NAME and continue. I Brough this issues up and I found the attitude very rude and unhelpful from the desk staff. I have used the Internet all year and now I'm denied access. And the excuse was. " we don't give out passwords to members, no members have Internet access. When you just Sign in with you ✨️EMAIL YOU SIGNES UP WITH✨️ no password. So I found that very rude and unhelpful. Bad service from the desk where you sign in. But I find the other staff members very polite but the girl at the desk, not very helpful. I give 5 stars to floor staff. One star to the desk staff

Positive experience: É uma boa academia, não é muito cheia, tem equipamentos que atendem a nossa necessidade. seria bom se os pesos ficassem organizados, ficam espalhados pelo salão. A unidade south Terrace tem menos aulas coletivas e eventos que a outra e é mais bagunçada também. Deveriam ter mais aulas coletivas pela manhã, e I centivarem a participação das pessoas. No geral é boa. It's a good gym, not too crowded, and has equipment that meets our needs. It would be good if the weights were organized, they are spread out around the room. The South Terrace unit has fewer group classes and events than the other one and is also more chaotic. They should have more group classes in the morning and encourage people to participate. Overall, it's good.

Negative experience: Broke equipment for weeks, stuffed hot air because there is no circulation besides an open door, dirty toilet

Negative experience: Went there for over 4 years, until they changed the layout this year, added silly neon lights and crammed the space full of machines. I cancelled my membership (monthly plan that would he easy to cancel within a month) in May but they keep charging me membership fees. I contacted their accounts team a month ago, and today I saw that they charged me for October. Absolute disgrace, would not recommend dealing with them, go somewhere else.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and facilities. The staff are great, Roxy, Veronica, Dan, and Nick are always welcoming and helpful

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Cork ! Price , Equipment, facilities and staff are all amazing. A little shout out to Dan Hoare , who works in OneLife , he has guided me so far in losing over 10kg and I’m still hitting PBs in all my lifts

Negative experience: The equipment is very old and does not work properly. They keep a cleaning spray with some fabrics to clean the equipment the whole day, it is reused all day long. There could be even tissues to clean that it would be more hygienic with more sprays for people to use. And the worst part: the price is the same as other gyms in the city to have broken, old equipment and not very polite staff. Also: No AC, no fan.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym has everything you need, very well run spot

Fantastic experience: Serious gym, quality set up. PT Dan M 100% one of the best at it. Will go over the top with the support and guidance out of his own pocket. Top man

Negative experience: I started training at this gym a month ago, my first payment was on the first of June, they don't allow you to change the day the monthly fee is paid, in addition they charged me a fine of five euros for being late with the monthly fee by two days, I continue training here, but I don't recommend anyone I know to train here, man, it's poorly organized and they still charge a fine, unbelievable!

Fantastic experience: The best of Cork! Good machines and structure

Fantastic experience: Very good gym with lots of equipment and great personal training programs, I highly recommend Dan Moloney's classes

Fantastic experience: I’m from UK and have been visiting my cousin a few weeks ago in Cork. I went to both sites, in South Terrace and Mulgrave Rd, and was very pleased with staff’s attitude and friendliness. I’ll be definitely coming back to this gym! Keep it up guys☀️

Fantastic experience: That's my gym, that's great place to be

Fantastic experience: I Joined the one Life Fitness mid January I found it a very Spacious I delt with a Staff member named David who was very helpful all theire Treadmill faced the road which gave great lightning its Situated near the City easy access by bus the background music was at a nice level as I am in my 60 th I look forward to going their wood Defently Recommend it

Fantastic experience: Fabulous jym .... I would highly recommend it... Great staff and very friendly

Positive experience: The one life fitness gym in south terrace is brilliant! The staff in the gym are very kind and most importantly helpful people. If you go to the gym for the first time, they'll help you out! From treadmills to weights, this gym has all the equipments you need! The gym is spacious in the inside. The environment is great as it's clean and everyone who goes there cleans the equipments after using them. In short, everyone in the gym are aware of keeping healthy for Covid 19 and the gym's service is of great quality. This gym's location is perfect and ideal as it's located in the city where it can attract lots of people to go there.

Fantastic experience: My local gym I workout there is worth while

Fantastic experience: I have met some very nice people there.Shout out to big phil 600kgs leg press impressive mad respect..

Fantastic experience: Good gym with friendly staff. It's open plan and spacious with a good collection of equipment, bars and free weights. Women's changing rooms could be a bit more enticing but can't have everything!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, motivational staff, wide range of equipment, very economical.

Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough good things about Grattan and all the team in Fit4less. 1st class customer service !

Fantastic experience: Great gym and reasonable prices Also there is a boxing bag where you can train and not many gyms with weights have this I use for leg condition and strength

Fantastic experience: Great gym with lots of stuff to work out. Good place if you avoid going from 4 to 7 pm

Fantastic experience: Cheap and cheerful! The two main reason's for joining were, 1. Early opening times. 2. Annual membership offer of €199. Staff are very friendly, professional and you feel welcome going to the gym, even at 5:55am. The gym itself might not have some of the "Fancy" gym equipment seen in some new gyms, but it has the main equipment needed to get the job done and also a large open area for other various exercises. So far so good!

Fantastic experience: One of the best gym in Cork City with young experiences and charming staff with cool equipment and I loved the music in the background. Dressing rooms and lockers available as well. Recommended from the heart

Fantastic experience: I have been three times here and since the second time I started to feel the change. The training plan is amazing and the staff and the energy of the people attending gives you a lot of motivation. The coaching from the training is very accurate and fit to each particular person demand. I am more than satisfied.

Fantastic experience: Great gym usually loads of space to workout and get the job done. Really happy going here. Avoid 5-7pm on weeks as that when I find it very busy.

Fantastic experience: Trainers are very good and training classes are fantastic. This Gym has got all equipment and is best place for fitness.

Fantastic experience: Joined 3 months ago and must say that this is by far the best gym in the city!! Great value, excellent employees, quality equipment and overall pleasent atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Joined 3 months ago and must say that this is by far the best gym in the city!! Great value, excellent employees, quality equipment and overall pleasent atmosphere. ????????????

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym when it opened earlier this year as it was conveniently located. But I didn't expect it to be such a fantastic gym. I've been a member of many gyms in Cork and I can personally say this is at the top. Fantastic equipment, knowledgeable & friendly staff and if there is any any issues with equipment etc, it is resolved almost immediately. Oh and how can I forget, its probably the cheapest gym in cork to join.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Brilliant setup and the classes are top of the range.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, all equipment is brand new and staff is super friendly

Fantastic experience: The way a gym should be. Big open space, loud music, great classes all day, great machines, great addition to Cork!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff, plenty machines and space for free weights

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people in there ! Cormac's HIIT classes are great and Rob is a brilliant Personal Trainer!

Fantastic experience: My experience in this gym from day one when I had my first session with Elaine to this day where im doing my training on my own has been amazing. Elaine listened to what I wanted to work on most and what I wanted to achieve and showed me how to work the machines that would help me! I sat in on two of her classes and I was so surprised! She took us through what we were doing for the class, whilst doing the class with us! I was so sore for about a week but it's so worth it. I can't recommend this place enough to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Great gym to be part of! Cool staff to workout with and to have fun with too ;)

Fantastic experience: Mark gave me a tour of the gym and ended getting me to join. I didnt expect a budget gym to be well equipped, but it's actually better than most of the more expensive gyms in cork, the free weights area is huge too

Fantastic experience: Mark was just amazing sorted us out alot and gave us great new exercises to reach past our usual burns ..Great gym and great staff

Fantastic experience: 1st time being here in the guest pass and done the beginner weight class, instructor couldn't be more helpful and motivate you to the last Defiantly be back :)

Fantastic experience: Joined up 2 days ago and could not be happier! All the guys and gals are just brill and super friendly! They make you feel so welcome which I believe it is one of the most important factors, especially when it is my first time ever setting foot in a gym, so great first impressions! Tonight I did a class - beginners weights with the fab Rob, and wow I felt the burn but it made me hungry for more! He was superb and very motivational and he was a laugh as well as helpful. Rob gets a bonus point for remembering my name from the sec I walked in the door to the moment I crawled out the door! Look forward to training and to more classes in F4L. Keep up the great work team! :)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym & great value for money. All the instructors are really friendly & motivate you to push yourself during the classes especially Cormac. Highly recommend it

Fantastic experience: I can't rate Fit4less Cork highly enough, has everything you could want from a gym for a very reasonable price! Morning spin classes with Cormac and Elaine are tough going but the lads make them very enjoyable

Fantastic experience: Myself and my hubby joined this awesome gym before it even opened in Cork in January 2017. My experience here from day one has been fantastic. The staff are all extremely helpful and knowledgeable and great fun. They make each visit enjoyable and I can honestly say I've found the perfect gym for me.

Fantastic experience: Great team of gym instructors here at fit4less, supportive and quirky. They motivate you to join in on the classes and push you to your limit. Its a great atmosphere to train in and they have all the equipment you need to get the best possible results :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great price and the staff are lovely and friendly highly recommend for any body looking for a good gym

Fantastic experience: Just recently signed up and really impressed by the gym,the variety of classes and the great staff...I did the weights class beginner and thought it was very good and worked out muscles I forgot I had so thanks Rob look forward to going to many more classes.

Fantastic experience: I've been to a lot of gyms in the past few years but this one is the best without a doubt. For the price of membership the staff, facilities and overall experience is amazing! I had the pleasure of having one of the trainers, Elaine, talk me through ways I can improve my fitness, diet etc and she has been so so helpful. She made me feel comfortable and still makes regular contact to see how I am progressing! Would 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out, staff are very friendly would recommend the gym to everyone

Fantastic experience: My first time at this gym was the best would definitely recommend to anybody to join that gym and I personally would go back there again and the staff in there are friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Great gym All the staff are encredibly friendly and helpful. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Joined about two months ago, the staff are amazing! Always smiling and there to help. Classes are very good and there's loads to pick from! Got two of my friends to join also! We love it

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym the day it opened and i am super happy with it. A lot of space and the staff is super nice. I'm spending every other night there. Great stuff

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience!! Been a month now and I enjoy working out in the gym!! Classes are really good and effective!! Great place!! Cheers

Fantastic experience: Great gym and wonderful staff.. Elaine is an amazing trainer and deserves a promotion. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Great gym for the price. Love the classes here, they are just perfect. Elaine and Mark are amazing trainers. Would highly recommend.
