Farrell Fitness

Fantastic experience: We are on a road trip through Ireland. We ended up here while looking for a gym and it was a hit. We were warmly welcomed by Cathrin and immediately felt at home. The gym has great equipment. There is something for everyone and the trainers are very helpful. We would love to come back!

Fantastic experience: Farrell Fitness has a great feeling of community. The instructors are very friendly and always helpful no matter your age or capabilities. I have been a member for nearly a year now and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering joining. Jackie Sheehan

Fantastic experience: Hey there. Well I just wanted to give my review on Farrell Fitness... Here goes. I've been training in Farrell Fitness since he opened his first gym on the Quay in New Ross and I must say honestly that Robbie and all his instructors.. past and present have never been anything but professional, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and all round what an instructor should be IMO. As an ex instructor myself I always have an interest in how new instructors in the gym get on. And I've NEVER been disappointed with each and all the instructors that have been there working alongside Robbie. 10 out of 10 for all of you. As for out Cath, she is everything someone in her role should be, quietly working away behind the scenes making sure that everything runs smoothly. If there's ever any issue you need addresses...Cathy your woman. Well done Cath and thank you. As for the boss man himself, Robbie Farrell is a young family man who has exceeded himself in business and still manages to come into the gym with a word for everyone and concern for all. He goes above and beyond even though I'm sure there's times he'd rather shake his hat at the whole lot....but he doesn't.. .he continues to expand and improve the gym and services he feels so passionate about. The classes are soooo good, all the coaches give their own spin on the workouts and never ever fail to push us to out limits. There's a class time to suit everyone's busy life. I don't use the open gym myself but from what I see it's right up there with the best. Machines are clean, modern and well maintained. The whole gym is spotless which is the first think anyone e would notice going in. All I can say is we'll done Robbie and all your staff, keep up the great work and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Love this place Thank you Joanne. And no!! I wasn't paid to write this

Fantastic experience: I've been a member with Farrell Fitness for nearly a year. The selection of classes to choose from each week is excellent. When classes are full, every effort is made to add extra classes to accommodate everyone. Robbie, and his team always make you feel so welcome when you walk into the gym. When it comes to fitness and advise each one of the lads are so approachable, helpful and encouraging. I definitely feel that I've progressed beyond my expectations since I joined Farrell Fitness. There's always a great atmosphere in the gym especially in the evening when the place is buzzing and of course not forgetting the laughs that are had in the classes

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym with excellent staff. Custom programs are a huge bonus and great option to have. The equipment is top tier with loads of variety. The gym is also kept really clean and never in bad shape. Great atmosphere overall and couldn’t recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Great variety of free weights and machines especially for those of us who are partial to torturing our legs on a regular basis. Also home to the immortal neck harness

Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional staff. Extremely clean. State of the art facilities. Classes are challenging but great fun.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic ran gym by Robbie and his team being somebody that struggles with anxiety and crowds,and form in getting the most out of exercise plus following diet plans . The lads have gone out off there way on a regular basis to help no matter how busy they are. I would recommend them to anyone regardless of what level of fitness your at the lads will tailor to your exact needs down to 3d body scans rehab exercise the lot .

Fantastic experience: Equipment in gym is practical for everyday gym goers and those who are more keen on competing in their sports. As a competitive crossfitter this gym supplements my strength pieces with various high quality machines. It's great to practice gymnastic movements on the rigs as there are various pull up bar heights on there (I.e. ttb, pullups, bmus etc). Olympic lifts and my conditioning can be safely done as there is lots of room (outside class times) and various cardio machines. Upstairs is ideal when a bit of quietness is needed to concentrate on other movements. The staff are great at assisting when advice is needed. Equipment is always clean.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Always so clean, and well equipped. All the staff and coaches are really sound and look after you, and always make you feel really welcome. Have recommended to lots of my friends, couldn’t fault the place!

Negative experience: I only pay for the occasional day pass here so I can train with my boyfriend, otherwise I would avoid it. €15 for a day pass is pricey enough, out of curiosity I checked the monthly membership.. €65 a month FOR WHAT exactly? Let’s dive deeper readers, grab your popcorn because I’m planning on a very in depth review here.. - The equipment is bottom of the barrel cheap hotel gym-esque equipment. “fashion fitness” gway out of that. - The hamstring curl is half wrecked. - The squat racks are so tiny that men can’t even do a proper pull up if they’re tall. - The SAFETY CLIPS ON THE BARBELLS ARE LOOSE AND DO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. IS THIS PLACE FOR REAL. (Someone say claim?) - You can’t even use the full space if there’s a class on! ITS ONE FLOOR. Sorry now but I was practising Muay Thai on the bags and I could see the owner.. Robert? (Small town everyone knows everyone I guess) tapped this short blonde lady who works there on the arm (disrespectfully I may add) and pointed over to me to tell me to hurry up. I’ll address two things here, 1) how he treated her like a lapdog (treat your staff better or do it yourself lad she’s a mature lady and absolutely deserves to be treated better than that) and 2) imagine I was actually paying €65 a month and my gym split is being interrupted because you lack the space. Repeat, YOU lack the space for YOUR classes. You cannot charge people €65 a month and then refuse them to train in certain areas when you have ONE FLOOR. - The music, sincerely, nobody wants charts or Coldplay while exercising. - As someone who works in finance (yes I’m THAT kind of “c u next Tuesday”) I exhausted myself trying to justify where the profit from the memberships is going as it’s clearly not into the vending machine as every time I see it it has the cheapest water in it and barely anything else, cheap equipment, cheap mirrors too actually as they’re distorted in some areas, cheap boxing bags, you get the point. I understand rent is expensive but it’s not that expensive compared to others, plenty of gyms in Waterford and Dublin with higher rent and lower memberships. (And better equipment) is the profit going into a home renovation? New car? Because it’s obviously not being put back into the gym, wait no sorry I’m wrong. Some of the plates have “farrel fitness” on them. That’s where it is. Elite. - Now I am a clean and hygiene freak, to my disgust I used one of the spray bottles to wipe down a machine after use. I noticed the liquid that landed on the machine just seemed to bead off.. instead of spread like how an actual cleaning product would.. I opened the bottle and smelled it, guess what?! Water. That. Is. Vile. Not even appropriate hygiene equipment? Did you know that scabies & contact dermatitis are things you can pick up in a gym after using a bench after someone infected with it? YOU CANNOT DISINFECT WITH WATER. Seriously man where is the membership profit going? I started my gym journey in David Lloyd in Dublin at €160 a month, go look up what you get for that. Then I went to Westwood which is about €70 a month for FIVE LOCATIONS AND A SALT WATER SWIMMING POOL. EACH LOCATION HAS DIFFERENT THEMED LUXURY POOLS. Then, when lifting got more serious, I went to Colosseum in Kylemore, €40 a month beside a halting site but it still had a feckin cryochamber sauna and ice bath (and sunbeds and a hairdressers, honestly wild place it’s great though) No nobody asked for my life story but there you go, a comparison to other gyms to highlight how this place is capitalising off the fact that people that may not drive locally are being *cough* SHAFTED for their money. And again I ask… €65 for what? To support a “small business”. Claptrap. Small businesses do whatever they can to put the money back into the business to make it better. Charge less or invest in the gym. To my surprise I heard of a young man being barred because he also left a one star review, now if that’s not the signalling of someone more worried about his ego than his business I don’t know what is. Well, this was fun. See you soon

Negative experience: Smelly

Negative experience: Quite unpleasant experiance with the staff today. Apparently I’m on my last warning because I was 1. “Messing”-not sure what it was meant to mean as it was never stated. 2. I went outside with my friend (the door was open) as he was feeling lightheaded and we got accused of vaping when it wasn’t the case. 3. Also want to mention my friend was getting rushed of a machine when she was just doing her workout. Regards.

Negative experience: Very unpleasant and rude behaviour from the staff. Accusing me of “messing” and vaping when it wasn’t the case I just went to get some fresh air through an open door as I was feeling light headed. I was told this is my last warning even though I didn't do anything.

Fantastic experience: I have no words to describe the experience going to this gym. I felt this place like my second home since the first day, very familiar and professional at the same time. They put a lot of effort in every detail and make you feel comfortable as well. Very clean and respectful, a huge variety of machines and adapted to all type of people. Does not matter your goals, age, disability or the country where you come from, there is space for you and your needs. THANK YOU.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, great coaches and facilities!

Fantastic experience: Really good gym, James is great with the young rugby lads.

Fantastic experience: State of the art gym ! highly recommend robbie for sports massage and personal training

Fantastic experience: Great gym. There are many different machines available for milking all muscle groups. Group classes are also available. responsive and polite team.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities

Fantastic experience: I had a sports massage this evening with James for an injury I've had for past couple of weeks and couldnt get any relief from no matter what i did, he explained everything so clearly and done a fantastic job, by the end of it i felt so much relief for the 1st time, I would highly recommend him, hes great at what he does, thanks james

Fantastic experience: Both my teenagers attend the teen gym with James and they love it. Would highly recommend the sessions

Fantastic experience: My daughter has started teen gym and absolutely loves it. The instructor James is brilliant, interactive session with clear and concise instruction.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely second to none, best gym in New Ross.

Fantastic experience: As trainer of a local Gaa team we decided to use Farrell Fitness to assist us during pre-season. We had large numbers so we needed somewhere that would be able to facilitate us and Farrell Fitness certainly ticked this box. Each night Robbie and the lads were extremely organised and had everything in the gym set up and ready to go. Despite our large numbers no individual was left feeling unsure of what they should be doing as all exercises were clearly explained beforehand and if anyone was lifting using poor form/technique they were pulled aside and clearly shown how it should be done. The music,trainers,players and well equipped gym combined to make it a very enjoyable experience for all involved. Thanks for having us Robbie

Fantastic experience: I got a day pass to Farrell Fitness today and it was one of the best gym experiences I’ve ever had. Eoghan was very friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The gym itself has a fantastic range of equipment, the space is large and airy and the members had a great gym etiquette. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great selection of equipment and helpful staff. Your let get on with your training.

Fantastic experience: A highly professional and personal service

Fantastic experience: One of the best gym to work out at. Really good trainers and floor managers. Very very hygienic and caring trainers.

Fantastic experience: Had the fortune to call in here randomly for a workout a few months ago. I was so impressed by the set up and service, afterwards I purchased the membership there and then. Since then my fitness goals have surpassed anything I expected. Robbie and the team have an absolute state of the art facility that’s constantly growing, a great environment for people of all abilities and friendly service and advice. It’s hands down easily the best gym I’ve ever been part of, at home or abroad. Would recommend to any experienced gym user or someone thinking of starting out, to give Farrell Fitness a try. It’s a real gem and a testament to Robbie’s hard work and dedication! 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work, nice friendly staff. Amazing clean, top quality equipment, great prices. Overall words don't say enough about this place, why not come up and check it out for yourself and see

Positive experience: Very helpful professional staff

Fantastic experience: From the min I put my foot in farrell fitness, I felt so welcome. From all the staff nd more importantly From other gym members. The equipment is to the highest level, its always spotless nd there is always plenty of room. The classes are unreal from all coaches but can have a laugh in them to. Coming with an wrist injury, they all adjusted to different exercises for me if I couldn't do a particular one. Which was so helpful nd doing much more now than I ever thought I would. Best decision I ever made joining this gym. Keep up the good work guys

Fantastic experience: Top gym facility in the south east. Excellent professional and friendly staff, that go out of their way to ensure you get the best workout possible. Equipment is all band new and state of the art. Great atmosphere when working out which makes it really fun. They've just added a new golf simulator which is the best that money can buy and if you're into golf like me give you all the information and more that you need to improve not to mention the hours of fun you can have trying different things out! The open gym and classes are capped to ensure there's no overcrowding and you never have to wait on equipment, this is a huge bonus for me as I personally don't have a huge amount of time to get a workout in. If your looking for a new gym or just trying to get started I would highly recommend Farrell Fitness!
