Republic of Fitness

Fantastic experience: Found this gym by pure chance, and wow I'm happy I did. It suits my style of training so much, in fact I can't see why it wouldn't suit mostly anyone. Brilliant place all round

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Lots of free space and equipment what ever your workout type :) very welcoming gym space in westport!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with long opening hours and tons of equipment. Matthew and Yvonne are super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This is a great, super friendly, well equipped gym. I joined, hoping to find friends in a new area, and the owners and fellow gym-goers have been nothing but lovely since day one! Real community feel. And, the gym itself is great! Lots of cardio machines of every variety, a ton of free weights, lifting machines, and other implements. The classes are great too - mostly a mix of cardio and strength, with a friendly group vibe. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with an excellent layout and a really comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Yvonne, Matthew and Anett are fantastic - friendly and professional. The group class timetable and open gym is designed to suit all kinds of schedules. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Visited Republic of Fitness several times while visiting Westport from the US. Many positives: (1) responsive, welcoming team members, (2) affordable/really reasonable day/week rate, (3) uncrowded, open-plan layout facility, (4) well-stocked, varied equipment, especially for Hyrox style training, (5) plenty of free parking, (6) long opening hours for schedule flexibility. Thank you RoF for welcoming me and supporting my training while on vacation!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, run by amazing people! The atmosphere is second to none.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Republic of Fitness for two years and can safely say it has changed my lifestyle. I first heard of it through a Facebook ad or similar, and brushed it aside for a few months. I eventually made contact and arranged a time to just come for a look and a chat. Matthew greeted me and immediately put me at ease with his calming and commanding presence. I communicated my hesitance and dislike of physical fitness, (PTSD from PE class in school). I felt it was time for me to actually take responsibility for my own health and use my body just to maintain functionality and promote healthy living. We had a chat and I felt so good after speaking with him. I came to a class the next morning and had a great time! I felt soo good after and was surprised at how fun it was to workout with other people. I had no idea what to do in the gym so showing up to a class and just doing what I was told was the right thing. The thought of classes was daunting at first, concerned with other people fitter and stronger than me. Those thoughts were put at ease when I saw lots of people of different abilities, all challenging themselves, the only competition is yourself. Be 1% better today than you were yesterday. After going to a few classes a felt really welcome / comfortable and part of the RoF crew. The 24 hour access to gym is great as I can go in and do my own thing and it is never overcrowded. There could be 100 more members signing up and you wouldn’t feel a difference because we can come and go as we please, while being respectful to the facility and fellow members. Republic of Fitness offers different food and fitness programs where members can opt in, including a professional Nutritionist who can assist creating a food plan suited to your needs. Yvonne is always there to answer any questions I have and she sorted me out with a MyZone fitness tracker which registers a percentage of your MHR and shows it on screen/phone and we have monthly completions to hit our target points for the month. It’s really fun, motivating and a very accurate accountability tracker compared to others I have used. I have to say Matthew and Yvonne are the backbone of RoF and do so much work for their members, creating such a comfortable environment to develop yourself. If you are like me, I recommend making that first contact of just reaching out, coming for a visit and take it from there… Best of luck with it! - Tony

Fantastic experience: Went to RoF for a couple of weeks recently while on holiday in the area and absolutely loved it. Really welcoming, great range of classes, open gym and can’t recommend it enough. Will defo be back when next in the area

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about the trainers at the gym - Matthew creates a very open and welcoming environment - he is an understanding and empathetic person who knows that life will get in the way of training sometimes and you won't always be perfect - but will also encourage you in the right direction when you need it. There is a great atmosphere in the gym as a result and the classes are brilliant. He is also extremely knowledgeable about training and helped me work through an injury to re-start fitness. It's very handy if you are busy or work unusual hours, you can use the gym whenever you want and there is free and unlimited parking outside the front door also helps when you are in a hurry. The gym really goes the extra mile and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this Gym. Amazing facility top equipment and great fun environment. Matthew and Yvonne very friendly and supportive will always get the best out of you with that little push You have online classes as well as in gym classes, Very good value for money. This gym is for everyone from beginners to professionals . Never thought I would enjoy strength training and sweating so much.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and very accommodating staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, huge selection of great machines and equipment. Staff are all very helpful and accommodating. Very well kept with showers also available. Lively atmosphere, couldn’t recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Republic of Fitness (ROF) highly enough. Great atmosphere, fabulous bunch of fitness buddies, great classes and every machine you could wish for! We push ourselves and each other with the help of our my ‘Myzone’ bands. All our stats on display on the big screen during our workouts. Love it! I also love the parking outside the door! Very handy when running a bit late! Matthew and Yvonne run a great operation and I’d like to wish them continued success.

Fantastic experience: Joined ROF a couple of weeks ago to primarily do group training (with membership options for non group training access also available). Loving it so far! Wonderful trainers and community to help keep me motivated

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym with great equipment. Great option if you are staying in Westport for holidays or just a weekend and fancy a good workout. Highly recommend and look forward training there again.

Fantastic experience: Visited Westport for weekend and found this brilliant Gym, contacted the team the night before for the next morning slot, would highly recommend if you are visiting Westport and want to fit in a session, this gym has it all for your, cardio, legs, arm and hyrox sessions

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, great machinery, and I liked how the weight of each machine is written on them, to save asking, before adding your own weight.

Fantastic experience: I have been with Republic of Fitness now for a number of years, mostly attending the 9.30am class. I love the place not just for sweating it out under Mathew’s watchful eye but also because I’ve met lifelong friends there, it’s a meeting hub also & we have some great chats among the group Myzone was introduced a while back & we’re focusing more on that in class, it’s great for keeping the push on & getting you in the zone & creates a bita competition among the crew

Fantastic experience: I’m a new member of ROF, So far I think it’s unreal, they have so many classes that you can book on the app In advance. They have a quarterly full body-scan option , there is a myzone tracker option that keeps you motivated & track of each workout. It’s all new to me but think it’s brilliant so far. I like how they provide endless options for everyone’s individual fitness journey, but you can be part of a team as-well if you wish. All the members are lovely. The gym has excellent opening hours, its really clean & has everything you need & more. Also the communication from ROF is spot on. I would HIGHLY recommend

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Republic of Fitness highly enough! I joined about a month ago and have loved it since. Extremely friendly, welcoming, great selection of equipment and the best classes (always something different thrown in!), plus lots of incentives to work hard! Do the 7 day free trial and guarantee you’ll join up

Fantastic experience: 5 stars! Been a member for nearly 2 years. Amazing variety of classes and always learning something new. Great flexibility to go to gym whenever I need to. Love the involvement with MyZone for accountability and the HYROX for a real challenge. Great community of people to be involved with. The team are fantastic and go out of their way to make sure you get the best service, incorporating a holistic view of health. Matt and Anett are fantastic coaches that really help you work on your strengths and weaknesses. I can't say enough food things about RoF!!

Fantastic experience: I joined Republic of Fitness in October 2021 and I an delighted to say it was one of the best things that I have done for myself in quite awhile. I am an online member as I live in the opposite side of the country but I feel as committed as if I was an “in” gym member. Previously I would have gone to gym classes but with covid times, I was not keen on going into crowds so I came across ROF and decided to give it a go . From my first chat with Yvonne and joining the 6 week foundation programme, I was thrilled with the whole experience. The choice of classes is so varied and something to suit all ages and abilities and the coaches are very encouraging . There is always someone just a call away if you need any help or advice fitness or nutrition wise. I also find the regular coaching calls interesting and beneficial. For me I definitely find everything about ROF suits my fitness journey and do the pilates and yoga few times per week also. Booking into the classes is fantastic to keep the commitment and no time wasted travelling to classes. Thanks ROF for all your dedication to the members

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team and top class equipment, tools and support both online and in-person. Couldn’t recommend more.

Fantastic experience: The team at Republic of Fitness are absolute rockstars. My partner and I have been getting back into exercising over the last couple of months, and their entire team have been a huge help in making our experience so enjoyable. Whether it be with their regular check ins, variety of classes, or taking extra time to answer any questions. We really appreciate all their effort and couldn’t recommend them highly enough

Fantastic experience: So happy to be part of this family xxx brilliant!!

Fantastic experience: I joined Republic of Fitness in May 2018 as I just felt I needed something to boost my metabolism, calm my mind and have some ‘me’ time. I met Matthew and worked on an initial 6 week challenge programme, mixing weekly classes including, HIIT; TRX; Boxing and yoga with nutritional guidelines and accountability back up from the RoF team. 2 years later, I don’t think I have been a week without some sort of training. I love the choice of classes; the various time slot for classeI; the support from staff and members to keep going, not to mention the craic, tears and laughter and the good friendships formed along the way. Zoom and Rof during Covid-19 gave a new meaning to ‘lockdown’ as the team did everything to keep us motivated, and I know this helped so many people. RoF encourages members to practice yoga and have engaged truly remarkable yogi practitioners, and I rarely miss these classes too. Joining RoF has been one of my life’s better choices. I am a better person, physically and mentally for being ‘me’.

Fantastic experience: Awesome centre looking after the body and mind!

Fantastic experience: I joined ROF on 5th January 2020 starting out on the 21-day challenge. I love exercise and have been doing classes for decades but felt I needed a change and this challenge was exactly what I needed. I was introduced to my first jumpfit class with the amazing coach Rosie and LOVED it!! Great work out for anyone with joint issues and still burn those calories!! One thing that struck me straight away was the friendly and upbeat atmosphere in the gym, lots of smiles and happy faces, great vibe ROF have great coaches and classes to suit everyone of all fitness levels and with the help of my accountability coach I was thrilled to lose 12lbs over the 21 days When the lock down came ROF made a huge effort to continue to help their clients and moved classes online. This kept me sane and connected and it so great to still get the same quality of classes at home when everything else was so uncertain. By July, I decided to try the 6-week challenge to lose some weight that had crept up over those lock down months!! Again, with the help of my amazing accountability coach Rosie, I followed the food and exercise plan and lost 17lbs..in a nut shell if you stick to the plan it works!! It was the best thing I’ve done in years So whether you’re looking to stay fit and want a change, get fitter, lose weight while getting the support you need and have plenty of laughs along the way and make new friends, ROF is the gym for you!!

Fantastic experience: I joined Republic of fitness in May this year after a 3 week free trial and I am so delighted I did. I have tried numerous gyms and workout videos over the years but I always quit after a month or 2. Republic of fitness is different I am kept on track with a wonderful supportive coach and the selection of classes both in the gym and on Zoom is brilliant, I love it

Fantastic experience: At ROF you find a wonderful, supportive group - both instructors and members. It’s community-driven and open to everyone young and old. The coaches really care about your progress and support and guide you along the way. A super group of people and a wide variety of classes from my favourite Jumpfit to HIT and yoga. I highly recommend ROF, it’s top class.

Fantastic experience: I’m into my third year of membership and still engaged and committed. Great gym, community, varied offering. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: I decided to join as I was at a stage where the weight was creeping up and any diet I tried over the past 12 months was not working. I saw the free 21 day challenge and decided to try this first. You are given a 3D scan of your body at the start which gives you your exact measurements. Then Mathew who does the consultation with you talks you through the scan and what are your goals. Mine was to lose at least a stone which in my head could take me months as I just assumed at 52 yrs old my age was slowing my metabolism down and weight wouldn’t shed too fast. There was no obligation to sign up once the free challenge was over, this is to see how the plan suits you and your body. You are given a meal plan and an accountability coach during your trial and continues if you do the 6 week plan. Roseanne was my accountability coach and any questions I had she was very quick to reply back or ring me. There is also excercise classes in small groups or with your own personal trainer. You can also do the classes on zoom which is perfect if you are pushed for time or already at home. The classes include different types of excercises that can be adjusted to whatever your fitness levels are. The instructors who lead these classes are brilliant and I must name them “Mathew, Rosanne, Alex and Frank all professional trainers and the guys behind the scenes “Yvonne and Shelby” who are only at the end of a text or phone call. After 2 weeks on my free challenge I signed up to the 6 weeks challenge where I attended classes 3 times per week which included jump fit and high energy classes. My energy levels after 2 weeks shot through the roof as my fitness increased and I learnt how to eat the right intake of food. After 8 weeks I lost 34lbs yes hard to believe but it has happened. The energy these guys bring to the classes is magic especially Roseanne with her jump fit she just keeps you motivated. I feel like a new person and I am not going back to 8 weeks ago where I started I’m here now and I am continuing with ROF as a member and keeping to my meal plans. My advice if you are thinking of joining and not sure if it’s for you...send a text and make an appointment I promise you will never regret it ...cos I am glad I sent that text. Thanks again ROF for all the encouragement yee have shown and will continue to give me.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Rof.i have been training with the team for a few years now and all trainers are excellent and professional. Extremely encouraging and always there to advise their clients on all things exercise and well being . Five stars

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Staff and clients are so welcoming to newbies. They make sure that you fit in and aren't totally lost on day 1. Very accomodating and constantly trying to push the boundaries of the service they offer. Everybody will find something here.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of Republic of Fitness since January 2020. With Republic of Fitness you’re not just a member, you’re part of a supportive community that looks out for one another day in day out. There are so many classes on offer from large group, semi private training, personal training and online classes. The coaches are not only some of the best trained but they’re enthusiastic, hard working, positive and friendly. I’ve lost 2 stone since joining by following carefully selected workout programmes aswell as nutritional plans. Exercise has become a part of my daily routine now and I couldn’t be more great full to the Republic of Fitness team.

Fantastic experience: Joined a couple of years ago. Fantastic friendly facility with a great team of coaches. Mixing it up all the time to keep the members engaged. Catering for a wide variety of people, everyone made feel welcome. No place like it really.

Fantastic experience: ROF are absolutely amazing. Their holistic and comprehensive approach to overall well-being keeps you motivated and fuelled for your journey. They hit the diet side with sustainable nutrition guides, tips and recipe videos. The fitness with amazing online classes both live and on demand ranging in impact and intensity levels from HIIT, to strength and conditioning to Pilates. AND the very important, yet often neglected, mental aspect with yoga, coaching, live motivational talks and a seriously supportive and plugged in community. I live two counties away but I feel surrounded by this strong support network as if I could lean out my window and chat to any of them when I need to. Couldn’t appreciate all of them more. You are set up to win from the start. LOVE ROF

Fantastic experience: I access this online gym facility from home in Donegal and despite the distance I feel part of a caring and supportive community. The range of classes available, from High Intensity Interval Training workouts to Yoga, gives ROF a distinct advantage over other gym facilities. Coaches are so encouraging and classes are structured to offer variety and challenge. First class!!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, classes and the coaches are fantastic. Very supportive, friendly and helpful coaches that are there for their members. There are lots of different classes to choose from that will push you to where you want to be. I would highly recommend ROF and am delighted to have joined back in January this year,

Fantastic experience: Republic of Fitness is a great gym! The classes are tough but fun and never boring!! There are accountability coaches who are really interested in how you're doing but also they know their stuff and they're doing the classes in gym and online so they keep you motivated and help you every step of the way. Couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! Good fun and encouragement! Excellent coaching and social

Fantastic experience: Great gym and classes. Management and trainers are the best around
