Verve Gyms Dunboyne

Negative experience: This is the worst gym I've ever been to in my life. Absolute neglect on the part of the owner. The machines have no maintenance whatsoever. In fact, I started going to this gym two months ago since I moved to Dunboyne and don't have a car. One of the machines has been broken ever since, and from what I know, it must have been there for many months. However, two weeks ago, the gym closed on Fridays and Saturdays for maintenance (a lie, of course). The restrooms are conspicuously clean. They've also reduced their summer hours, closing on Sundays. To my surprise, I was there on Friday and asked the instructor if they were open today, and they said they would be open until 3:00 PM. To my surprise, I just went and found it closed. A disaster. It's a shame that Dunboyne only has this one gym, which is a complete disaster. The only redeeming feature are the instructors, who are pleasant.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym every day and honestly, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. The atmosphere is always positive and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The machines are well-maintained. It's clean, well-organized, and has everything I need for both strength training and cardio. Check put their classes too What I really love is how consistent the quality is – it feels like a space where people are genuinely focused on improving themselves. Whether you're just starting out or have a solid routine, this gym caters to all levels. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid local gym!

Fantastic experience: Thanks guys. Always enjoy my workouts. Nice vibe

Fantastic experience: Great customer service at the reception. The gym is perfect for strength training with good equipment support. There is locker facility, shower, washroom and a warmup area. It's not the biggest gym, but all the equipment is available at your disposal. It's located at the town centre. Hence, it's accessible via public transport and easy to locate as well. Highly recommended.

Negative experience: i have had to use a pseudonym as owner john uses cross checks negative reviews with verve memberships and i do not want to be treated any differently. The standard and upkeep of machines in this gym are appalling. Tape over parts where handles of machines have either ripped or are covered in grease, a hamstring curl that has been broken for well over a year now and a leg extension that has been broken for a few months that were promised to be fixed in january but still no sign of a fix or even an update on information. One rope that is on its last legs and missing or broken dumbells that have not been replaced. If membership expires you have to pay the extortionate sign up fee again. one positive is that the staff are delightful, passionate and eager to sort any problems, have never had a bad experience with any member of staff whatsoever. It’s a shame that verve has been tainted by such management problems as it has the potential to be the essential gym for all people that live in dunboyne and wider areas with proper care

Negative experience: Saw some short bloke with a perm using the cables for leg extension and left straight away. Never again

Negative experience: I only just signed up to the gym a few weeks ago. All staff seem nice and friendly. Only thing i had one occasion where I was in the shower after my workout and the man on the desk come in and said your taking long in the shower. I was only in the shower for 10-15 minutes. I was a bit uncomfortable tbh, just wondering is there a time limit on a shower seeing I have a full membership? I am a bit hesitant to renew my membership for next month.

Fantastic experience: Only been a member for a little over two months but only good things to say. All the staff are very friendly & welcoming,always get a 'Good morning' greeting and John the owner very cordial and professional. Nice varied array of equipment and never over busy, certainly during the times I'm there. Always some decent sounds on aswell! All in all, only positive experiences

Negative experience: Half star is not possible so giving 1 star. Worst gym in terms of administration. Said I can cancel my subscription whenever I want. A day before next month payment I cancelled membership but they still charged and said to me that I have to cancel one month in advance but they never said it during admission. Guy clearly said I can cancel whenever I want and how can anyone predict emergencies or future. Sometimes we have to move out of a place due to unseen circumstances and same happened to me. I notified them before payment was deducted but still they did it. When I emailed no one responded.

Positive experience: I've recently joined the gym and I have to say that Nicola at reception always welcomes you with a smile and Courteney and Lauren are great. They both do the classes and I always feel that I've done a great workout after their classes. They also helped me a couple of times when I was not too sure of how to use the machines. There were not much classes for a while but it seems more classes are available now which is great. Also, I had to deal with John twice over the phone and he seems like a fair man. So, overall great gym for your workout!

Negative experience: Went here not too long ago and was met in the changing rooms with a fella who said i had narrow clavicles and threw a chunk of bacteria forming in the corner at me. Went home and cried myself to sleep that night. Only thing ill come here again for is to stink up the bathrooms.

Negative experience: The cleanliness of this gym is abysmal, machines consistently broken and they make it borderline impossible to cancel a membership. Men’s lockers are putrid to the nose and rude owner who disregards the needs of consumers.

Negative experience: The most horrible gym I've ever been to...I'm a new customer...so basically no investment, nothing. The gym is in a terrible state, no cleanliness, half of the machines are broken...the interior is on the ground, the walls are falling the bathroom dirty and there are not enough devices for women! Dirty and nasty place!

Positive experience: The gym is cramped for floor work. Some of the machines did not fit the female body. Having said this, it was great to have the option of a gym. There was plenty to do with the available equipment.

Fantastic experience: Spinning class is brilliant all the classes are . Really enjoy them

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff not the biggest but everything you need is there

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism

Negative experience: The manager John should be replaced . He doesn't have any clue how to manage the gym and he doesn't know how to speack with old customers which they are there for years. And a bit of advise to you john what you out in the business its what you get.

Fantastic experience: Helpful staff... great environment

Fantastic experience: what day will the gym open?
