Gym Plus Swords: Opinions
Fantastic experience: GymPlus Swords - Hannah's Lift and HIIT classes are great. She really pushes the class with new techniques and changes it up regularly. I love the added bands to some of the classes, for diversity. The classes have a great atmosphere and lots of encouragement to keep pushing.
Thank you for your lovely feedback on our classes, Hannah is a great instructor!
Positive experience: Big gym with lot of machines and dumbells. Recently its getting a bit crowded in evening. The pool and steam/sauna are good too.
Thank you for your 5 star review.
Fantastic experience: Cool place. More equipment
Thank you for your 5 star review.
Negative experience: I I've been sending my 4-year-old son here for swimming classes for the last year. They seemed very good however he did complain quite regularly about the water being cold. Today was the first day I went swimming with my toddler for the baby class. After getting into the pool I can assure you the water temperature is nowhere near regulation for children. After 20 minutes my toddler's lips turned blue and I had to leave the class early. They have got good changing facilities and the rest of the gym seems quite clean. Update as of the 25th Jan teacher with the mullet shouldn't be aloud near kids she has a horrible attitude with them
Hi thank you for your feedback. We did have an issue with the pool but it is now fixed and at 29 degrees. If you can contact the club we would like to touch base with you in relation to the teacher for more information. If you can email us or phone us we would really appreciate it as we have a really good group of experienced teachers with great positive attitude so this should be addressed.
Negative experience: Be vigilant and careful. This company is practicing fraud. I agreed to a contract for three months, after the end of the contract the company withdrew additional money... They are not going to return the money... Scammers.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, nice staff, familiar environment!

Positive experience: The gym is nice and relaxing but today I arrived at 17:27 and the gym was closed!. Thats unfortunate I guess.
Hi Max thank you for your feedback! On bank holidays we are not open late apologies for the inconvenience caused!

Thank You for your review

Thank you for your lovely review!
Fantastic experience: Best and only around the are
Thank you for your lovely review.
Fantastic experience: My daughter who is 4 has Saturday morning swimming lessons here & has made incredible progress in a short few weeks. The classes are small and the instructors great at what they do, they engage with the children and make them feel comfortable and confident in the water. A really great team who make swimming fun!
Thank you for your lovely review we are delighted your daughter is doing so well!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, staff are so nice that it takes away the scariness of joining a gym. Did an induction with Andrew and it was amazing, the level of detail and work he went to was impressive. Got full workout plans tailored to our needs and a step by step guide on how to use the machines and advice on your form to make sure you're doing it correctly and safely. Couldn't recommend Andrew enough. Plenty of classes for all ages, ability and those with a busy schedule, you'll find a class that'll work for you. Great pool and sauna area, super clean changing rooms and the whole gym is spotless, not a spec of dirt anywhere. No smell of sweat like other gyms too. Attracts all age groups of people and walks of life from teenagers to the elderly. Open nearly all the time too so you have no excuse that you don't have time haha .
Thank you for your lovely feedback and 5 star review.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, super staff
Thank you for your 5 star review
Positive experience: Досить мало місця де тренажери , іноді доводиться чекати на свою чергу . Групові заняття з йоги чудові ! Є сауна , басейни , джакузі
Thank you for your feedback and review!
Positive experience: In general I really enjoy going to this gym, i like how they're always improving it. However there is one thing i would like to bring to light . I am finding the changing area slightly uncomfortable. There is different section split for families/children & adult only area but there is male children walking around unattended and they look over ten years , in a women only changing room. It would be of benefit to have a separate changing area for families or the older boys to be in the male changing room. Or at least keep them in the children/family area only and not mixing with adult only or adult swim areas.
Thank you for your feedback and your review.
Fantastic experience: Great for swimming lessons
Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: Only used once so far but looks like great facility, pool access and fantastic class put on!!!
Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: Ticks all the boxes for me. Rather than the old days where you had to join a gym for a year here you do it in 3 month stints. You can also take a month holiday if you're going to be away. Always trying to improve. Constant refurb and investments being made. The classes are great. I tend to see Barbara and Elba front of house and Clair and Ellie. Great customer service ethic. Always helpful.
Thank you Alan for your lovely review!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous gym, I love everything about it.. From the moment you walk in the door, the atmosphere is so positive, the staff are very friendly, the instructors are so attentive and professional, the classes are amazing and varied and the health suite caps it all... no other gym like it in my opinion... Good job Gym Plus... Gerry
Thank you Gerry for your lovely review!
Positive experience: Decent sized gym floor and pool, facilities are pretty good and have always managed to get parking.
Thank you Yvonne for your lovely review!
Positive experience: Lack of equipment, quite small and basic gym. Great staff, very friendly and always willing to help.
Thank you for taking the time to review the club, the great news is that we have just received delivery of lots of new equipment so hopefully if you visit again, we can turn your three into a five star review. Thanks for the lovely comments about the team.
Negative experience: The place requires renovations,better etiquette policies for members and the place is not clean. The water in the pool is colder than it should be and not sure if it is as clean as it should be considering its colour. The bathrooms are moldy,dirty,tiny and super old. The saunas are the best in North Dublin,you have a few and are modern, however people come in their underwear instead of a proper swimming suit, so you can imagine the smell in there. Disgusting.Hopefully this place will be renovated soon so we could return.
Thank you for your review. I was sorry to read your feedback. We have done considerable work over the last few years to upgrade the club and I'm glad you like the health suite area. We will get to finish off the changing rooms but have completed the toilet cubicles recently. In relation to the pool, we follow industry guidelines and our temperature and chemical levels are regularly checked and managed. Our pool temperature is maintained between 28 / 29 degrees. In relation to the improper wear of swimwear, thank you for highlighting this, its not been raised previously but we will follow up with anyone that we find in breach of our health suite guidelines.
Negative experience: Beware: despite being informed that the contract lasts for 3 months, it doesn't cover the current month. For instance, if you subscribe on March 3rd, these opportunists will extend your payment obligation until June 31st (nearly 4 months), rather than adhering to the expected duration of 3 calendar months as outlined in their Terms and Conditions. Following this unjust demand for payment, their lack of response adds to the disappointment in their service.
Positive experience: Too busy
Thank you for your review, it can be busy at times but if you are looking for a new programme or help we can make it work for you when you are in so you get your training in.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I use the pool, spa facilities and classes on a regular basis. The reception staff are always very friendly and they have good experienced trainers for the classes. I know it is more expensive then other gyms but it's well worth it for the quality and variety you get in my opinion.
thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: Probably the busiest and friendliest gym around. Always a great buzz. Great equipment always being updated Only drawback is the mrbs toilets smell sometimes and cleaning is a bit sloppy. But I go everyday nearly so that'd enough to say great gym
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Killer workout
Thank you for your review
Positive experience: Not a member but visited the Gym and bought the day pass at reception €15 if you have a friend who’s a member. Facilities are spotless, lots of options in the gym itself with free weight area, benches and plenty of machines. Gym also has a great sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Parking is restricted, not sure how many in total but I got the last one when I arrived @11:15. Has vending machines also which is stocked with protein, pre workout options. Locker rooms are large, lots of lockers available, you will need to bring a lock (not sure if available at reception). Showers have always been warm to hot on my visits here.
Thank you for your review and lovely feedback, we have additional parking behind Spar and we sell locks at reception and have little security lockers at reception for small items. We hope to see you again.
Fantastic experience: The facility is fantastic and love the classes. One of the best things for me about the club is the salt room in the spa area. As an asthmatic I find the steam and salt mix really helps my breathing. Can not recommend the spa area enough, it’s been a real game changer during winter months
Thank you for your lovely feedback!
Fantastic experience: Very good gym with sauna and swimming pool. Pool is busy, so check availability first.
Thank you for your feedback
Fantastic experience: Nice place
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Great pool , sauna is super, staff are brilliant
Thank you for your review
Positive experience: 20-metre swimming pool - swimming lessons for kids 30 min only, it’s not enough. All instructors are professional and great with a kids. Fully equipped gym on the second floor with a windows to swimming pool. There is an access to sauna, salt room, steam room, ice bucket, Jacuzzi. Open 7 days a week. Membership and lessons are overpriced in my opinion.
thank you for your feedback.
Positive experience: Good but small
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Really like that you can cancel classes last minute if you need to. I have a health condition which means sometimes I will have to cancel with short notice and it's been really helpful.
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: I use the swimming pool, fabulous facility,has steps into the pool and a rail to hold on to , so it's easier for getting into the pool,I also use the salt room,sauna and steam room amazing helpful staff
Thank you for your lovely feedback
Fantastic experience: Great staff and great gym! Very affordable too
Thank you for your lovely review!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in north County Dublin
Thank you for your lovely feedback :)
Positive experience: The staff there are nice, they've more options of equipment there than a local gym near me has, the pool there looks nice from what i've seen. My only big problem is membership whether it's daily, monthly or yearly is overpriced. if they lowered it i'd give it a bigger rating, but it is what it is
Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: Great place for kids to learn to swim. . My son is very anxious and the instructors have been great with him. . .they have a good system for them to progress starting off with a shallow pool which was a great help for him. . . facilities and pool area are very clean. . A+++
Thank you for your lovely feedback :)
Negative experience: Update: When and if you make the mistake of joining B4 warrant that this is not a members only club. On the weekends especially Tom Dick and Harry will be working out beside you after paying there 10 or 15 euros. It's just a pity you have to give them one star to post a review. Salt room not working properly, jacuzzi was cold, sauna was working fine but filthy dirty. Swimming pool closed off from 3 till 6 they should at least have one lane open for adults at this time. Too many instructors and too many children using the pool at the same time. Six instructors and a lifeguard while I was there. Attitude of the staff is all wrong they need to be re trained to deal with the public. Nothing professional or polite about this place. I joined Drogheda first, if I looked at swords first I never would have joined. Maybe the staff need to be sent to Drogheda for training.
Fantastic experience: Had a Sparks 5 day trial. Great facilities - gym pool, and classes available but they book up quickly! Unisex steam sauna and salt steam rooms are spacious and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended
Thank you for your lovely review, we believe we have a great team of people and lovely club facilities!
Positive experience: Great gym friendly staff,could do with some more equipment,ie..extra machines,like another leg extension,more cable machines,another lat machine,and extra attachment handles for cable machines,also changing rooms,shower and toilet areas badly need a refit.
Thank you for your feedback we will review and see what we can do for the future
Negative experience: worst gym i ever joined. they trapped people in three months contract. i couldn't go gym for more than 1 day because of my back pain issue. they changed me €59 each month for two months. and I try to cancel my membership they said you have to pay €98 to cancel membership. all the gym equipment are old or not working properly. morning and evening is to busy to workout swimming pool open for small time. such low standard gym for premium price. don't waste your money and time. ...
Fantastic experience: Nice place for all types of work out and relaxation
Thank you for your feedback and review!
Positive experience: Very average gym bit cramped
Thanks Allen for your review, we value all the feedback we receive.
Negative experience: Absolutely appalling. The lady at the front desk middle aged blonde one made me decide to revoke my membership asap
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Gym Plus Swords for quite a while now. Great equipment, plenty of machines and benches, with a good layout. Like every other gym in Ireland it gets busy between 5 and 8 pm but is never to busy around these hours. Lovely spa facilities and the spin classes are always great fun aswel. What really elevates Gym Plus is the staff. Always very positive and pleasant and couldn't be more helpful. Keep up the great work
Thank you for your lovely feedback.
Fantastic experience: Great staff 10/10, they have it all, sauna, scotish shower, salt sauna , big pool plus the gym. Can't ask for more.

Positive experience: Nice place they also have a room for yoga a swimming pool a sauna all you need
Thanks for the lovely comments and 5 star review. :-)
Negative experience: Swimming area is hardly ever free of kids or classes. Yoga teacher gives pilates class. The pilates teaching is always hardcore and doesn't follow the principles of pilates,expect an injury.
Hi EP, please contact us on 018075620 at the club to discuss your feedback. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and staff

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best I have ever used, staff are fantastic, the equipment and the layout of this gym is second to none, they offer a wide range of classes,which is all included in the price, along with a beautiful swimming pool, the qualified staff on the floor are so helpful with showing you the use of the machines, also personal trainers to help you gain goals overall I can't give this gym another praise best ever
Thank you for your lovely feedback
Negative experience: Very bad experience.
Sorry to hear that, please contact us on 018075620 to follow up.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and great classes
Thanks for your lovely comments and 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: I joined 3weeks ago freindly staff and good atmosphere
thank you for your review!
Negative experience: Horrible place. Expensive 50 euro per month for: Old broken machines (treadmills etc) not being replaced/fixed. Dirty swimming pool. Changing rooms are dirty too and the staff doesnt care about rules within them. They are not efficient at all. Dust in many places around gym. Bad management of the whole place. Rude trainers. Theyre Constantly changing staff because they all leave. ( not surprised i would leave too)
Fantastic experience: Nice gym, very clean. no posers which is great, just normal people trainning, the staff is very pilite and helpful. For me its perfect as its on my way to work.
thank you for your lovely feedback!
Positive experience: The pool is very cold recently
Thank you for your review, we had an issue and now should be fully rectified, thanks
Positive experience: Cold pool. Reception staff very helpful and friendly however the pool, pool area is very cold for kids which is off putting for kids during swimming lessons. Hoping this will be rectified to help keep kids interested in swimming lessons.
Hi thank you for your review. The pool is set to 29 degrees which is automated, could you let me know what days and I could look to see if we had an issue?
Fantastic experience: The best!!!
thank you for your review
Negative experience: not kids friendly, during the family swim families are allowed to use only 1 small lane, totally no space for kids to have fun - imagine 15 people on one lane, in other swimming pools they just keep 1 lane for private lessons, and all the rest area can be used, but not in here. no family swim time in the evening during the week, can’t use the morning time as some parents have to work. no family changing rooms outside ladies/mens room, so my husband can’t take our 2 year old without me, the same I cant take 6y.o. So totally not worthy. Also not friendly staff on the reception. No family or couples memberships, have to pay individually.
Positive experience: Not bad, but the women's showers need to be refreshed. The steam room, sauna and jacuzzi are great. It is also necessary to refresh the swimming trunks between the lines in the pool. My favorite fitness center. Photography inside the center is prohibited, so sorry there will be no photo♀️️♀️♀️♀️♀️
Thank you your review.
Negative experience: Mediocre gym that doesn’t even nearly warrant the price tag (€49 p/m). Very limited equipment, singular bench press rack, 3 squat racks, 2 (one currently broken) cable machines, etc. The place is 50% treadmills. A pool that only ever has 2 lanes open, with the rest reserved for swimming lessons. The place is packed after 6pm and you will be waiting for others to finish using a bench/machine. Tries to justify the price by throwing in access to multiple locations and free classes, which is only really useful for a few people. Should offer a tier that’s cheaper for only one location and no classes. Comparable gym in swords is flyefit which is 32 euro per month, while offering better and more equipment, except there is no pool.
Fantastic experience: Love going here, very friendly staff.
Thanks for your 5 stars and lovely comments, they make our day.
Positive experience: The pool for the kids not warm enough,it is changing every week,the water temperature is ok but while they are waiting, it is really cool. The hair dryers in the changing room not enough, just 2 and it s pretty busy so needs to spend time waiting. Also, when I brought my daughter the first day, no information was provided. Hope these all would be sorted soon.
Thank you for your review, we have an issues with the air handling temp on deck and we are waiting for the part to arrive and should be fitted soon, I will look to see we usually have about 4 hairdryers in the ladies, usally when a child is booked we let them know what time, and what they need to bring with them so I am sorry if this had not happened, thanks
Negative experience: Pros: 1. Equipments are reasonably well kept 2. Classes are good 3. The people that attend the gym are nice Cons: 1. No flexibility on contract (cant choose gym only or pool only) 2. No morning classes, they begin quite late 3. Staff seem to always be different and information provided is highly inaccurate or contradictory 4. For the standard of the service and equipment available the membership is highly overpriced 5. Whatever they say get it in writting as they wont honour what their own staff say
Thank you for your review, I am sorry you feel that we have no provided what you were looking for in a leisure facility. unfortunately we can not divide the site into pool and gym, it is all inclusive with access to all areas, this would be have been explained to you on joining. In relation to classes, we have tried early morning classes over the years and there is not enough demand to keep them on the timetable, In relation to our team -all our staff are trained on the systems and the information they provide unless it was someone in training, if you could let me know I could follow up as we would want to provide correct information at all times, In relation to pricing and after doing a thorough competitive analysis , we find we are competitive to what is around and what we have to offer with our services, I'm not sure what you mean about putting what we say in writing as all the contracts are signed and any requests to do with cancellations and freezes or member accounts are in writing through email.
Positive experience: Very good and clean place. One disadvantage it's very expensive.
Hi Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: Great Craic, excellent staff
Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: lovely helpful staff,good deals on at the moment,pool gym classes,introduction session and assessment, I was very happy
Thank you for your review!
Negative experience: YOU CAN'T MAKE SINGLE-DAY VISIT! In other words, you must sign for membership (one month at least) AND you MUST have bank account in irish bank! So foreigners, tourists or occasional visitors - sorry, not accessible for you. Too restrictive and obsolete rules.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym pool very clean and warm. Super aqua fit coaches so glad I joined recently
Thanks you for your review
Fantastic experience: Covid restriction are gone so its amazing!! Very friendly staff!
thanks you for your review
Fantastic experience: Excellent place for swimming classes for all ages, wonderful instructor
Fantastic experience: Lots of classes available..it has a pool...trainers are always available...good space for all types of workouts. Clean. Fully open and operational after all restrictions lifted.
Negative experience: Worst carpark ever. Staff are usually drunk.
Fantastic experience: Staff are really friendly, place is great, sometimes hard to get parking and sometimes very busy but that's only a reflection of the repeat customers so has to say something.
thanks you for your review!
Fantastic experience: It's the best.
Thank you Brendan, really appreciate the 5* review :-)
