Sphere Health and Fitness Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: An excellent gym with dedicated staff. A lovely vibe, always welcoming and every staff member motivates you to keep going. It's the first gym I stuck with and the programme makes it so easy to follow. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is considering joining, regardless of age or fitness level. It's a community, not just a gym.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Fantastic trainers. PT’s are excellent.
Thanks so much Simon!
Fantastic experience: It's just the best place to be...3 times a week! Super coaches & a super friendly atmosphere.
Thanks so much Denise!
Fantastic experience: Folks, I would happily recommend Sphere Health and Fitness to anyone looking for that next level of support in getting fit. They have been very supportive in my goal to raise my finess level. Every member of the team so helpful in illustrating technique, posture or any other questions I had, they would happily share their knowledge. This is worth every cent. I would like to take this moment to thank all the team. K
Thanks so much Kevin! Really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Great trainers, loads of equipment and I really like that the training program changes on a periodic basis so it never gets stale. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks Ronan!
Fantastic experience: 8 weeks into my programme and couldnt be happier with my results. The programme is challenging yet flexible and tailored very much to your own goals and targets. The culture of sphere is so unique to any gym/fitness centre I have been it is a positive and encouraging space for all. The benefits of learning from a variety of coaches cannot be overstated having personally benefited from Jen, Dave, Shane and Sineads unique styles over the past few months. Looking forward to the next 8 weeks and for anyone on the fence about doing something for yourself ? Get off the fence and lift those weights !
Thanks so much Pam!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Sphere, whether you are starting out at weights based training or are a pro or somewhere in between, this gym is a welcoming place. Its not your typical gym, smaller class size and expert Personal Trainers, give you all the benefit of one on one training without the cost. There are regular checks in and opportunity to discuss your fitness goals and diet. It really focuses on building consistency initially towards an overall lifestyle health and fitness mindset. Your personalised program is adjusted frequently to keep it fresh and interesting. Aswell as the Group PT session, they also have HIIT classes throughout the week which fully compliment your weights based programme and can build on your cardio fitness.
Thanks so much Áine!

Fantastic experience: I ruptured my ACL in late 2020... following surgey i reached out to John in January of 2021 to put a plan in place with the aim being to get back playing AIL rugby in the 2021/22 season. John put together an incredinle programme to start all over on the basics of jumping and hoping and building through to hitting new strength PB's later in the year. All of this assisted by multiple technologies, apps and software that could record and measure progress and replay and show progress which was hugely important in a long recovery. I returned to AIL later that season and this year completed a full year of rugby in the AIL without a single knock, set back or any related injuries and as a whole, my body felt much more resilitiant in addition to the rehab on my knee. The highest praise only for John who left no stone unturned and is a huge part of allowing me to prolong my playing career. Thanks for everything John.
Thanks Rob!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and friendly clients.
Thank you Michelle! Much appreciated
Fantastic experience: I started my fitness journey with Sphere 8 months ago. I have NEVER before stuck to a fitness regime. What is different about Sphere? John and his team care and it's fun! Their encouragement and praise makes you believe in yourself. Not only do they offer a personalised fitness regime but also nutritional advice. Every aspect of my life has improved. If you are looking to improve your lifestyle, please do give Sphere a try - I honestly cannot recommend John and his team enough.
Thanks so much Deirdre

Fantastic experience: I have been training with John and his team since 2014.

Fantastic experience: I’ve used sphere in the past and I’ve no hesitation in recommending them. They are knowledgeable professional and very good at what they do.
Thank you Dave. That means an a lot. Really appreciate it
Fantastic experience: I have known John since he started his gym on the Kilcock road. I and members of my family have sought his advice on health and fitness on numerous occasions over that period of time and he has always responded professionally and with a generous spirit. I have trained teams and played at a reasonably high level in the 70's, 80's,90's and 2000's and I wish I had John's expertise with me then. I now have returned to train with John in my later years as I need the motivation that he has in abundance to keep me going. I look forward to each session that we have. The sessions are geared to my ability and are delivered in a fun and professional manner with a lot of cheesy music from my dancing days in the background. John knows when its right to push me harder and when to take it easy. He has the patience of a Saint. John I wish only the best for you and Sphere Health and Fitness and for anyone thinking that they could do with expertise in Fitness, Health and Nutrition this is the place to go. All the Best Kieran Diggins
Wow. Thank you, Kieran. The pleasure is all mine!
Fantastic experience: John and the team at Sphere Fitness provide great training programs. I was coached by John for a year and made big strength gains. Highly recommended!
That’s so kind Bryan. Really appreciate the work you put in. The results come!
Fantastic experience: Have been a member in Sphere for a few years in total. Service has always been second to none. John and the other Coaches all go the extra mile and offer advice and support when you need it.
Karl I really appreciate you taking the time out to leave a review appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been fortunate enough to train with John and the sphere team since 2010. It has enabled me to foster good habits whereby physical activity is a cornerstone of who I am. I can’t recommend Sphere highly enough. From a rugby perspective John has enabled me to train in the best practices whilst also educating me on the why. He is an industry leader. Whether you are a sub elite or elite athlete or a middle aged person looking to rekindle a passion for exercise, John & Sphere have you covered. Best investment you’ll ever make. Tom
Thanks Tom! That means alot
Fantastic experience: I had been overweight for over 25 years, more than half my adult life, and I hated it. I was very active as a teenager, playing competitive squash at a provincial level, running competitively, and generally leading a very active lifestyle. When I went to University, that all changed. I discovered partying, alcohol, and general student life. I got away with it for a few years, due to the metabolism of someone in their early 20s. Once I reached 23, and got my first job, the slippery slope began. I could afford a car, and nice food, and exercise went by the wayside. Within 3 years, I had piled on the weight, and my worst, weighing in at a whopping 108kg. I spent the next 25 years on a yo yo cycle. I would exercise, diet, lose some weight, relax the regime, and put it all back on again. Sometimes, I would do quite well, getting down to 92kg on occasion, but I was never able to sustain it. I would have a bad day or weekend food wise, and that would be that. Everything would stop, and I'd be back to square one. In recent years, I developed a number of health problems, and decided I needed to sort this out once and for all. Again, I did pretty well, going from 107kg down to 91kg, but couldn't seem to get beyond that point. Then after a bit of research, I found Sphere. Unfortunately my work schedule meant that I couldn't make it to the gym very often, but the important thing for me was that I felt part of a really supportive community. I kept in touch through social media, absorbed much of the nutritional advice, and trained independently at lunchtimes in work. When the project 56 Challenge came around, I wasn't even sure what it was, but it's actually really simple. For me it was all about accountability. Had I worked out, had I kept a food diary and met my calorie goal, and had I tracked steps. That's it. Initially, I wanted to make sure I did these things because I felt accountable to the rest of the Project 56 Group. But over the course of the 8 weeks I learned a really important lesson. I started to fee less accountable to the group, and more accountable to myself. That was ground breaking. Thanks to the program, for the first time after a quarter of a century trying, I met my target weight of 85kg. A week afterwards, I injured my ankle, and was unable to run for over a month. Previously, this would have totally derailled me, and all bets would be off. But not this time. Sphere and Project 56 have given me the confidence to handle setbacks like this, and know that I can work through them. I've had some moderate weight gains before and during Christmas, but am now back on track, and the weight is on a downward trend again. The difference is this time, I'm relaxed about it, and am 100% confident I can get to wherever I want to. My target is below 85kg again by the end of January, and I'm ahead of schedule. I've signed up for the Dublin City Marathon in October. For anyone contemplating joining Sphere Fitness, just do it. It's not a standard gym. It's a community and a mindset. Although I've had to back away for the time being due to work committments, the experience has stayed with me. It has quite literally changed my life.
Thanks Niall!
Fantastic experience: Joined Sphere while I was posted to Maynooth first half of 2017 - was a great kick in the pants to get me motivated back into getting fit. Dropped 4.5kg of fat... and continued since when back in Paris to put on 8kg of muscle :) Thanks John and the team
Thank you Mark. Appreciate the words and the journey you are still on since you 'graduated' from us!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym and atmosphere. The expertise and facilities are second to none. Sphere will help you achieve the goals you set.
Brian thank you. We all really appreciate your kind words
Fantastic experience: Great nutrition advice everyone can relate to, and great training environment! Looking forward to seeing results!
Thank you - really appreciate the review
Fantastic experience: Sphere teamed up with the irish heart foundation and I've worked out here as part of that. Really enjoy the lunchtime sessions. John is great, really motivates everyone and mixes it up no session is the same. He takes time to show technique. Great atmosphere in the place
Thanks so much Laura!
Fantastic experience: Joined Sphere fitness to work on my fitness levels. Thought I was just joining a gym and would be given a program and left on my own to get on with it.... Sphere fitness is much more, help with programs, types of exercise for different goals, nutrition, motivation, support from all the staff who always check in on you. The daily blogs and weekly video updates are brilliant in shaping the direction you want to go in.
Thanks Stuart that means alot to us all here. We really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Result Oriented Operation. 17.5 Stone down to 14 Stone, and Sphere were a major part of that. John has given me 1-1 training before going Skiing for the past number of years, and the results have been exceptional. There are no frills, and no shortcuts, but what there is in abundance is friendly support and motivation as they tease the strength and fitness from you. John pushed me in every session, but never to the point where I couldn't recover in time for the next session. I cant recommend Sphere highly enough. Truly Superb.
WOW - thank you Fergal. Appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: If you want to join a gym where you as an individual are considered, where your own goals and aspirations are the focus then Sphere is the place to go!! John and his team provide excellent support and guidance to motivate each person to reach their potential and help you to understand where to apply the work to get results!!
That is very kind. Thank you, Lisa.
Fantastic experience: John provides constant motivation with helpful tips and advice. He helps you assess yourself, your reason for doing it and how to get the most from what you are doing.
Thank you Tony - really appreciate the kind words
