District Health & Leisure Cork: Opinions
Fantastic experience: All the staff are so helpful and friendly. From the smiles of receptionists, the care of cleaners, the attention of instructors, and friendly lifeguards. I feel always welcomed.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym with very friendly reception staff . Been a member for the last few months having previously been with dennehys . While district is more expensive you do get what you pay for imo . Plenty of machines & everything is well serviced . Not too busy around lunch time which is when I go . I would prefer if there was an option for a gym only membership as I've never used the pool facilities .

Negative experience: Just a heads up for anyone trying to sign up they do everything they can to squeeze every last drop out of you. I was a member 2 years ago when they decided to hike the prices to a price out of my range, when I went to them with my concerns it fell on Deaf Ears! They had no consideration for me or my 2 friends at the time who left and they were happy to lose 3 members (Not a good Business Model). Because it is so close I recently enquired about re-joining as the facilities are better then other gyms in the area and when I went to join as a student which I am they told me I needed to provide a letter from my college course. Strange as most people will take College ID but I followed the request. As she scrutinised my letter which stated I’m a FULL-TIME student she told me I couldn’t join because of the name of my course stating that I earn money. Where it doesn’t say that on the letter she just bent the rules so that I couldn’t join as a student saying I had to join as a full member. They have no people skills and are just after the money.
Negative experience: Dirty and overpriced
Positive experience: Love district but found it hard to get a machine today with all the pt course's in the gym which was annoying. Also WiFi issues always a problem cuttinf off and sauna is never hot. Other than that a great gym.⁷
Fantastic experience: All equipment working properly unlike other gyms, very friendly staff, showers are spotless, 5/5 service

Negative experience: The ski, row & bikes need to be serviced as they have been over-used by Hyrox classes. The resistance is completely gone. About half of the lockers don't work after renovations. If driving to this facility is an awful condition. Unavoidable potholes. If walking to this facility at night, you will be in darkness as none of the lights along the footpath are working. For the price of the membership, expect better.
Dear Mr O Donovan Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I would like to address each of your comments in turn. -The Erg machines have only recently been serviced. We have a very comprehensive maintenance agreement in place. In light of your review these machines were also checked again by in house staff and do not appear to have any issues. Some of these machines are actually only a few months old. - We have had no complaints of late re lockers not working. I will however have our maintenance department check that all are fully functional currently. - The avenue unfortunately does not belong to us, we are liaising with the owner on a very regular basis requesting for the potholes to be addressed however it is out of our control after that. - With regards to the lights, we invested very heavily, and on more than one occasion, to replace all lights and fittings. Unfortunately they are continually vandalised and as we do not own the avenue we cannot continue to repair them when they are likely to be broken a few days later. Again we have been speaking to the owner on several occasions requesting this issue be addressed as a matter of urgency. These issues on the avenue – potholes, lights not working etc – are not at all in keeping with our standards. Should you wish to speak to us directly regarding any of the issues raised please email [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Ive been part of District health and leisure since 2021. The staff are all as helpful as each other and nothing is ever a problem for them. The facilities are clean and up to date. Both gym floors and equipment are fantastic, the pool is excellent with a sauna. Changing rooms always clean and fresh.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience of your time at District Health and Leisure, we appreciate you taking the time.
Positive experience: Creo que es un gimnasio que se adapta muy bien a las necesidades individuales y familiares porque hay actividades de gym para adultos relacionadas con el deporte(clases y sala)y para el niño toda la semana incluidos los fines de semana.Viven el deporte como un lugar de diversión y eso es importante para tener una buena conexión con la vida saludable.Lo recomiendo 100%.Salas de todo tipo bien ventiladas y agradables.La atención en recepción es amable y correcta.Algo a mejorar es que incluiría alguna zumba dentro de las actividades y abriría la cafetería los domingos .:)

Negative experience: Would not recommend
Negative experience: **1/5 stars - Avoid at all costs!** I've been a member of District Health and Leisure for over 2 years, and I've consistently been disappointed with the service. Despite my loyalty, I've come to expect that a significant portion of the equipment will be out of order or not functioning properly. It's become a normal part of my routine to search for working machines, only to find that most are either broken or in need of maintenance. When I finally had enough and decided to speak up about the subpar conditions, I was met with unhelpful and dismissive staff. My concerns were met with attitude and condescension, rather than any genuine effort to address the issues. It was clear that the staff didn't care about my satisfaction or well-being as a member. To my surprise (and frustration), after speaking up, my membership was terminated without warning. It seems that the gym prefers to silence its critics rather than listen to feedback and make improvements. This experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I would not recommend District Health and Leisure to anyone.
