FSM Bray

Fantastic experience: Impossible to fault the FSM team- they are so helpful, caring and motivating. The aftercare (check ins/follow ups) is really good and the workouts are challenging but adaptable. It’s really hard to fit consistent workouts around a busy life but these guys make you want to show up for yourself.

Fantastic experience: It's great there, they are very friendly and willing to help and advise. They can push your limits within a few training sessions

Fantastic experience: Great coaches. Plenty of equipment. Flexible class schedule. Great workouts. Lovely community. All workouts based on your ability, so ideal for beginners or more experienced gym goers who want to challenge themselves.

Fantastic experience: A great set up, a wide variety of times. Supportive and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: FSM is a fantastic gym. The coaches really care and that helps you stay motivated and keeps you coming back. The classes are designed with novelty in mind and never feel repetitive. The program allows you to easily track your progress which is consistent. I have enjoyed learning how to use free weights. On top of it all everyone is very friendly and there is great parking nearby. Best gym I've ever been a member of.

Fantastic experience: I am 52, female, over weight and under fit!! I have tried so many gyms over the past 5-6 years but I didn't seem to click with any of them. Some had individual programs but no follow up or support, some focused on such high intensity for all workout that technique went out the window and I got injured, some couldn't accommodate if I was injured and others were like a cattle mart, get them in and out as quick as possible. FSM is the opposite to everything negative I have experienced. They take such care at the beginning to ensure they know exactly what you need and they listen. The attention to detail in all the classes is outstanding, the focus on technique, the support if you have an injury. The coaches are fabulous. So genuinely nice, interested in everyone, making sure everyone is getting something out of the workout. The workouts are never the same, never boring, so well thought out. The atmosphere is chilled, friendly and easy to be part of. The after care is something else! Follow up emails and messages to make sure you are ok and offering any amount of support. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough. What a breath of fresh air of a place to be! Don't hesitate to give it a go, you won't regret it . It's also really easy to get to, with a huge free car park right beside it ... Major bonus!!!!

Fantastic experience: I joined FSM almost 1year ago with my husband, our son was already a member of the kids group and I was always curious when dropping him off about joining myself. Previous to FSM we were members of the local community gym and really were not using it enough and handing over money each month! The difference with FSM was obvious from the first visit for my induction. The coaches are amazing, the support is fantastic from both them and the other members. I love the fact that every class is different and 100% coached, you don't have to think about what to do and you are never on your own, always learning and improving yourself and being challenged! I love to monitor my progress too on the app and with the test weeks. I feel a huge difference since joining in my endurance and in how I feel in myself and can't wait to continue this journey. Its the best thing I ever did, my only regret is not having joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: I am with FSM about 10 months. I nervously joined as I felt I needed a change from what I had been doing. My interest was starting to wayne and the excuses were creeping in. I found FSM and so glad I did. The coaches are excellent, they push you to work hard and get results. They have pushed me out of my comfort zone along with lots of encouragement from my fellow members. The classes are tough, fun and there are usually a few laughs in there too. My only regret was not joining sooner.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed working with Stephen, his attention to detail and manner were second to none.

Fantastic experience: Great summer camp for kids, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great supportive coaches and friendly team atmosphere

Fantastic experience: A great gym with a team of coaches that really care. I started working out here about 4 weeks ago and I am impressed so far. Each hour long session is broken up into parts, warm-up, specific muscle exercises, some olympic lifting, then it ends with a workout. The workout is a 10-20min or so high intensity combination of exercises and cardio. Dont worry about the olympic lifts, everything is explained and you gradually work up the weights. At the begining I thought I would be overwhelmed by the pace as I am not fit (yet), but the coaches are great at encouraging you as are the other members. My motivation to exercise isn't great, and on this i love the accountability provided by the gym. They check in every few weeks to make sure everything is OK. You book your sessions through an app, the app also is used to record/track your different lifts.

Fantastic experience: Joined on the recommendation of a friend, and am glad we did. The workouts are tough but the atmosphere is encouraging and collegiate. The coaches push you, without being pushy, and the movements and workouts are explained clearly before each session. My body hurts but in a “good way”. My wife also joined as has my 11 yr for the kids sessions.

Fantastic experience: My son love Crossfit. He is happy

Fantastic experience: Fantastic teaching, integration into classes and range of exercises. Great equipment and facilities.

Fantastic experience: A great gym with a great atmosphere and attitude to training. It makes getting up at 6am worth it for me and the staff are very friendly, helpful and supportive for you to improve and reach your goals. Would definitely recommend FSM if you need a lifestyle change or to kickstart you fitness to a healthier lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I joined fsm nearly a year ago and I love it the coaches are so attentive and the programs are great I've havnt gotten bored and everyone is very welcoming. Even if injured they are all very accommoding and you wouldn't have to miss a class. I'd highly recommend fsm

Fantastic experience: Joining FSM in my early 50’s was a life changer for me. I am fitter, healthier and so motivated to keep going almost one year on, I love the classes, the support from the amazing coaches and the wonderful people you meet in each class and how encouraging they all are. Each class can be individualised to you depending on your ability. There is always time for a laugh too. From the initial fundamental sessions to the coached classes and nutritional programmes, all have helped me on my own journey. I look back over the last 11 months and pinch myself when I see how far I’ve come. Thanks to everyone in FSM

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at FSM now for a few weeks and am absolutely loving it. Coaches and workouts are incredible.

Fantastic experience: Joined 3 months ago. I’d never done strength training before and now love going 3 times a week. Coaches are so professional and friendly. Everybody can work out at their own pace, and everyone is so friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend FSM enough. In particular their personal onboarding process where you do some 1:1 classes to get up to speed on the equipment and the techniques really helps get you up to speed quickly and safely. You won’t regret joining

Fantastic experience: I started out with personal training for a few weeks, and have been in classes now for a couple of months. I’ve never experienced a gym like this before - the community and trainers set it apart. I came in ridiculously unfit and worried that I wouldn’t be able for the classes, but the other members were so welcoming, encouraging and supportive that they put me at ease right away. The coaches are brilliant - they push you hard, but with lots of humour and kindness. I also don’t worry about injuring myself - the classes are small and we get so much individual attention. One of the things I love about it is that we’re all sharing the workout - but all at different places in our fitness journey - and no one is made to feel less because they’re not as advanced as someone else. Can’t recommend FSM highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town.

Fantastic experience: My perfect mix of focus and fun. While I always want to get the most out of my gym time and be efficient this team has a great mix of banter and hard work ethic. No good reps get left behind and their is an excellent atmosphere of everyone on their own self improvement path - Coaches always meet people where they are at. In house app for tracking progress is great, and has a competitive streak if that is your buzz/motivation. Really nice mix of ages, genders and abilities in this gym and is very welcoming to start off in. I had no previous Olympic lifting experience and had limited experience in traditional gym environment and my first few weeks felt really supportive but not overbearing as I can become frustrated with too much fuss. For me the best value gym is the one you show up to and this one is worth its weight in gold.

Fantastic experience: I am new to FSM Bray and have to say I thought I would never find somewhere as good as my old classes led GYM, which I moved from due to changes in my work location. I am 7 weeks into my membership and couldn’t be happier. The team of instructors are extremely knowledgeable, patient; watching form and offering encouragement, focusing on your personal goals and importantly have a sense of humour! All the members have been very welcoming and there is a lovely atmosphere in the place. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Joined FSM about 3 months ago and it’s been brilliant. Love the programmes, instructors are great, they make the classes really fun & doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an expert, they will adapt to suit. Everyone has been really nice and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: FSM is a really well run gym. Stephen is continually re investing in the premises, equipment and staff to ensure it never stands still. The team of trainers are excellent, always working closely with members and their goals, assisting they get fitter and stronger. But most importantly they make it fun!

Fantastic experience: I have been part of the FSM family for 4 years now. I cannot think of any other place I would put my trust in to train. The community that the owner and coaches foster allows for a positive and safe environment. I have found my physical and mental well being improve. It was quite evident of the impact on my during the lockdown, Im glad to say I back and working hard to return to the levels I was at before! FSM is more than gym and home is a home away from home for all ages.

Fantastic experience: I joined FSM in November 2019 before covid hit. At the time I was overweight, very self conscious about joining a gym, unfit after having 4 children, and I had a hip injury since the birth of my youngest 4 years previous. Within a couple of weeks that injury disappeared, I started to lose weight without much effort and my confidence at the gym grew as the coaches and the other people there were so encouraging and helped me along, showing me how to use the equipment better and to get the most out of the workouts. What makes FSM so special is the atmosphere, the chats, the encouragement and the motivation. Lesleyann

Fantastic experience: FSM is more than just a gym it’s a community the workouts are great and never boring I love the way each class is broken into 3 sections and you never know what the third section will bring - maybe we’d go home if we did my fitness level has improved so much and I am seeing a big difference in my body shape But the main reason I keep going back is because of how friendly and supportive both the coaches and the other members are. Every session is like a night out without the beer

Fantastic experience: After spending 2 years with a personal trainer I needed something new. Contacted FSM and they were great from the first contact! It’s not an ordinary gym where you go in and do your thing. They make sure your doing everything correct and the classes are never packed! Great variety in the classes and no day is the same! I also work shift work and everyday I can find a class time that suits me Overall this place has exceeded my expectations. Well done guys!

Fantastic experience: Been training here 3 months today. Such a unique place, I've never come across a gym as welcoming and inclusive! Would highly recommend. I was initially nervous about getting back into fitness and whether I'd be able for this type of class but the guys in FSM were so helpful in getting me setup and introduced to their program.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of FSM for just over a year now. While the equipment and programming is top notch, the community and atmosphere sets it apart from other gyms and training facilities. The coaches and programming are very accommodating towards your individual fitness and skill level and give you the one on one training experience albeit in a class setting. Wouldn't think of training anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: 10 months ago I took my first step inside FSM & am I so glad that I did. FSM is class led but has the personal trainer experience, classes are structured and varied. From day 1 the coaches & members are both encouraging and inspiring, best decision I’ve made in a long time.

Fantastic experience: Really engaged coaches and great classes

Fantastic experience: I joined FSM about 5 months ago and have been on other gyms previously doing S&C. What I love about FSM is the fact that you can train every day and you never feel like you are in danger of an injury or over training. The staff are so professional and mind you with every exercise. There is no cutting corners and the classes are structured to ensure that there is a balance between strength and proper conditioning. There is no hiding anywhere and you are pushed to your limits beyond what you think you can achieve!!!

Fantastic experience: I am 3 weeks into FSM and can't tell you how happy I am so far. I come from quite a sporty background when I was younger and then through having kids and injuries the last few years haven't been kind to the body. Not for 1 minute have I felt intimidated walking in to the gym, everyone has been so welcoming and the coaches have been so accommodating and understanding to my needs. Can't wait for my FSM journey to continue

Fantastic experience: Love training here. great coaches with years of expertise & knowledge,Challenging workouts and friendly welcoming atmosphere. Makes working out fun ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of FSM for over 4 years. When I started, I had never been inside a gym. I didn't know what weight training was or what it entailed. I couldn't do a push-up nor run 300m. Over the last 4 yrs, I have become the strongest and fittest I have ever been. This wasn't something that happened over night, but a steady progression. This is all down to the FSM coaches and their constant encouragement and knowledge, in both fittness and Nutrition. What makes me turn up everyday is the other FSM members, the laughter, the encouragement and the good friends I have made in the gym over 4 years.

Fantastic experience: There is a great community spirit at the gym between the staff and members, and great support to get involved and push your ability. I have been training in FSM a few months now and really enjoy training here due to the well programed training cycles, the great team at FSM that are always friendly and always on hand to ensure correct form is being used. The facilities are great and plenty equipment for all members. All of which are constantly being upgraded and improved.

Fantastic experience: I started here after 4 years out of the gym, I've been going steadily for four months now and not only is the atmosphere amazing but the results of not only body but mind as well are incredible would recommend for everyone of any age or gender.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for about 2 months and it has been the best training I have gotten anywhere. The coaches really know their stuff and change it up regularly to keep it fresh and productive. The staff and members are welcoming and the facilities are fantastic

Fantastic experience: Great place to train. You're made to feel part of the FSM community from day 1. Coaches are excellent and always ready to give encouragement and advice. Highly recommend FSM .

Fantastic experience: Excellent pre and postnatal classes with Momma Strong

Fantastic experience: FSM Bray is the best gym in Wicklow. Staff are great and members are very friendly. It's very inclusive with all fitness levels catered for.

Fantastic experience: A really good gym with a real sense of community, excellent coaches who are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, a great environment for beginners or people looking for a challenge .

Fantastic experience: FSM is more than a gym, it's family. The support, the individual couching, tailoring of workouts and programmes for all ages and fitness levels is second to none. I leave every time with a smile on my face. Can't recommend FSM highly enough. Best gym I've ever been a part of.

Fantastic experience: FSM is so much more than a gym. Its a community. During Covid, safety has been their number one priority and it feels like a very safe place to train. Everyone has their own individual area to train in which is deeply sanitised after each use. I personally can't work out in a normal gym as I don't have the motivation to do it alone. But FSM caters for every individual no matter where you are on your fitness journey. The staff are extremely knowledgable however they convey that knowledge in an a way that a non-fitness person (like me) can understand. Its a great place to train!

Fantastic experience: So much more then a Gym! FSM has been a life line this year, they kept us going during lockdown with daily zoom classes. Since then they have gone out of their way to make things work with spacious marked out zones, a strict cleaning/sanitizing routine and reduced numbers at the gym. Keeping us all sane in this mad year that is 2020.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of FSM for a few months now and can't rate it highly enough! Great coaches and fantastic atmosphere, in a safe environment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to FSM for a little over a month now, the team are fab and highly encouraging that helped me a lot with each class and find my confidence is growing. The classes are really challenging but rewarding afterwards which is what I wanted. I would highly recommend FSM to anyone beginning or experienced Really happy to be a member of the FSM team now, looking forward to more fun and challenges Thanks FSM Dee

Fantastic experience: LOVE this place - completely different experience from joining a big-box-Ben-Dunne type gym, with dedicated individual coaching and support available at every step. Each day is a different routine, so not only do you not get bored but it makes sure you're building full body fitness and strength. The coaches are supportive, fun and really seem to enjoy themselves. If you're in doubt, drop in and check it out - I just wish I'd joined years ago!

Fantastic experience: Awesome guys running the place! Really in depth classes and showcases and a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: FSM has really changed my life the coaches are excellent and cater for everyone and the members go out of there way to make you feel welcome i actually look forward to going to the gym and that says a lot. 100 per cent recomend this gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym, supportive coaches and amazing members

Fantastic experience: FSM Bray is a great Gym to be a member of. The personal attention the coaches give to ensure you are doing the exercise and lifting weights correctly is essential. People in the classes are friendly and encourage each other. Each day there is a varied workout that everyone does together but at their own level, keeps it interesting. I'm a member for over 2 years now and would recommend people to try it out. Justin

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever gone to .... great support and such a great mix up of classes.

Fantastic experience: I joined FSM 2 months ago, the members and the coaches where very welcoming. I find the members and coaches are very motivating they encourage and push you to do better in each class. I love the way they have different workouts on each day and they have a variation for each indivual of all levels.

Fantastic experience: FSM Is different to any other gym I have been to. I started with no background in strength training and the idea of it terrified me! I started off doing some one to one classes with Lee who was really helpful and now I do the 5:30am classes. The coaches are really motivating and will encourage and push you to your best. The members are lovely and everyone has a laugh too. Each class is different so you can’t get bored easily and the 5:30am classes are also handy for those who like to go before work!

Fantastic experience: I’m training now about 2 months absolutely amazing people nothing is a problem every class I meet someone new and they go out of there way to say hello and help you along

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy working out in FSM. The coaches are excellent and always make sure that you are doing the exercises and movements correctly. This gym is for people of all fitness levels and abilities. I highly recommended it.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending FSM on and off for the last number of years at various levels of fitness and health. This is a well organised, well run, professional, goal oriented (and if it rocks your boat) competitive place - this mixed with a wonderfully casual and enjoyable atmosphere, makes it an ideal Gym to be a part of. This standard has been maintained continually.

Fantastic experience: A really good gym with a real sense of community, excellent coaches who are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, a great environment for beginners or people looking for a challenge .

Fantastic experience: This is a seriously good outfit. Very professional, supportive, friendly environment where you are encouraged to achieve. Great bunch of people, and loads of options in terms of class times. If you want a gym where you can achieve great things with great support and encouragement no matter what you level of fitness may be, this gym may well be the one for you.

Fantastic experience: Been training with fsm for a few years now wouldn't go anywhere else . Highly recommend . Stephen is a great Coach and has a great team . The variety of strength , mobility , cardio and skill training in each class is what makes it so good , along with the great community . Great laugh with great people .

This standard has been maintained continually.

Fantastic experience: I joined FSM in March 2019, before signing up I was brought through 3 thorough sessions ensuring I was comfortable doing the movements we would be doing in class and it gives a chance for the coaches to get you know you and your ability. I really enjoy the atmosphere, everyone is very encouraging to each and no one cares how light or heavy weights you are lifting, everyone has their own goals and support each other along the way. I've found everyone to be extremely welcoming and the workouts are always something different. I'm really enjoying the small group training, the numbers to coach ratio are great so you know that you are always being watched, corrected and getting that attention to detail needed to improve and reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Realistic goal setting and fantastic support. Lovely atmosphere and friendly people - highly recommend for adults, teens and kids!

Fantastic experience: In FSM you are looked after in every aspect of Fitness and wellbeing.The coaches never take their eyes of you and always keen to help you to improve your fitness. Members are likeminded and extremely welcoming. There is a very strong sense of community. If you are serious about fitness and wellbeing this is your place.

Fantastic experience: maurice gallagher Your review will be posted publicly on the web. Learn more I'm Jacqueline...I'm no spring chick and have a quite a few injuries so for me, going to a gym can be very daunting and stressful but from my first day at FSM I felt welcome and at ease straightaway. The coaches are excellent and cater to every need and ailment. There is great encouragement and patience. I love that it covers absolutely everything from weight lifting, mobility, cardio, gymnastics etc. I discovered what my body is actually capable of. I can do so much now that I never thought I could do, running, pull ups, push ups, lifting, rope climbs, rowing and so much more. I can even touch my toes!!!! Still a novelty to me. It never gets boring like in some gyms and more importantly because they are fully supervised classes it means there is no slacking off so you can only improve! I absolutely recommend FSM to anyone interested be it for improving mobility or working on strength, weight loss or a challenge for yourself. Adding photos CANCEL

Fantastic experience: Professional, consistent, invested coaching at FSM Bray , with constant encouragement and guidance to help you achieve an improved level of fitness and well being no matter what your starting point is. The service provided at FSM Bray to its members is second to none and i wouldn't train anywhere else! Not only have my strength and fitness levels increased massively but the training has improved my energy levels also. There is a great community atmosphere at the facility which i would attribute to the wide range of varying clients availing of the service. This makes it an enjoyable and relaxing place to train and improve your personal health.

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym! Every day the classes are different and the range of activities are diverse from athletics, weigh training to some gymnastics. There is a really great encouraging environment where people get to have fun and also achieve the results that they desire. The coaches also are approachable and eager to help.I would highly recommend FSM Bray as a place to join if you want to get fit, feel better and meet some great people.
