Raw Gyms Sandyford

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Rebecca for a little over a year now, and I can’t thank her enough! She’s completely helped me reach my goals — and even go beyond them. I feel so much more confident, both in the gym on my own and in myself overall. I absolutely love training with her and would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking to improve themselves, build confidence, and have fun along the way!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Loads of new and clean equipment. Staff helpful and accommodating

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve been to, the facilities are great, lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. There’s classes on every day that you’ll enjoy no matter what level of fitness you’re at. There’s always parking and the sauna/cold plunge is a great addition. Every staff member has been lovely and welcoming, Adam particularly has massively helped me over the last year. Ive recommended Raw to loads of friends already, if you’re looking for a gym in the area this is the one to go to.

Fantastic experience: Have been going to raw for about a year, gym is class never too busy. It feels amazing to bench with all the metal plates. Staff is amazing and it’s such a inclusive environment, highly recommend for everyone to try atleast once!!

Fantastic experience: Recommended by a friend in college a couple weeks ago and been a few times since. Great environment with lovely people and nice equipment. The fella who is there what it seems like everyday is wonderful and always up for the chat!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had such a great experience here. The gym is always professional and clean, with an excellent range of equipment and a real club-style vibe. The reception team are always helpful and friendly – special shout out to Rachel for being so welcoming every time I walk in! And I have to mention the amazing PT team. Liz, you are incredible – I would honestly be lost without your guidance and motivation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a supportive, positive and well-equipped gym environment.

Negative experience: Good location, has a lot of equipment , classes are hit and miss depending on who the instructor is. Some of the instructors are really great others totally disengaged. Good gym for someone with low expectations and just looking for quick training session in between working hours. The most disappointing part is the customer service and the experience that brings. I had issues with the raw app from day one , it took more than 2 weeks for them to resolve. When you enter the gym there is rarely someone at reception to take on your questions or resolve your concerns. When a constructive feedback was submitted about the quality of the classes and the facilities not being up to certain standards they didn't like it and the customer experience is not taken seriously. Everyone loves good feedback but improvement comes from taking into consideration constructive feedback and building onto that. No wonder why they cannot develop to the full capacity this gym has. Overall disappointing and as per many other comments before mine is now a struggle to cancel the monthly payment for a membership I no longer will be using.

Negative experience: AVOID that gym, the worst ever , unprofessional staff, very bad classes, break down machines and never fixed

Fantastic experience: I joined Raw a year ago and I have been so happy with my choice. It is such a lovely, friendly community. The staff are so nice, helpful and supportive. There is always someone around to ask a question to. I have found personal training with Rebecca to be excellent, she is really helping me achieve my goals. She is so supportive and encouraging. I’d highly recommend her as a trainer. The gym is always clean and tidy. Plenty of equipment. I love all the class options and the simple booking systems. Delighted with my decision and am really enjoying my time at Raw.

Fantastic experience: I have done a few day passes, great experience, nice machines and changing rooms. staff very friendly and nathan always chatty.

Fantastic experience: A serious gym for serious gym folks. Loads of space, loads of equipment, all well maintained. Friendly team on site and sauna/ice bath is a plus. Thanks Chris and Rachel for extra attention ;-)

Positive experience: Staff and facilities in this place are great. Very clean, well looked after, always a friendly face at reception and good range of machines. Only thing to keep in mind is the increasing number of members. The gym seems to be totally over its capacity, sometimes you will go at 6pm in the evening and every single bench, treadmill, squat rack, is taken. And it feels like it’s getting busier and busier. Some members also selfishly tend to use a number of equipment at once, which should not be allowed at peak time. They also tend to have classes at peak time - understandable, however they will section off an area in the gym. I would recommend but keep in mind these issues.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere at Raw is fantastic. The gym is spacious, with great equipment and plenty of room to move around. Even when it’s busy, it never feels overcrowded, and there’s always good availability of equipment. The staff are friendly, approachable, and always willing to help. I really enjoy training here – highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Got a day pass to try out this gym on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised at how good the gym was. Very clean, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Rachel specifically was very helpful in showing us around the gym and all of the equipment

Guys trust me please dont go to this gym there are lot good and nice gym with very very less price and may be more equipment then this so please dont join this gym at any cost you gonna regret.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Raw Gym Sandyford for nearly a year now, and I can’t recommend it enough! The gym itself is great: well equipped, spacious, and always kept in top condition. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes such a difference. There’s always someone around to ask a question if you need and they’re always happy to help too. While I use the gym myself a couple times a week, my main reason for coming is the classes, and they never disappoint. The timetable always has something that suits me unlike some gyms that finish classes at 6pm every day. A special shoutout to Sophie; her classes are my favourite! She’s so warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful, her classes have such a positive and motivating vibe which I love.

Positive experience: Raw Gym's awesome! Love the sauna and ice bath, perfect after a tough workout. But honestly, Liz is the real star. She knows her stuff, got my technique spot on, and I'm actually seeing muscle gains! Plus, she makes working out fun. Definitely recommend Raw, especially if you can train with Liz!

Fantastic experience: Have been to a few gyms in Dublin now and this is my fav! Everyone who works in both gyms are so friendly and the classes are great too. I’ve been doing personal training with Rebecca and she’s been fab, really good at explaining everything and keeps me on track! ✨

Fantastic experience: Jacob was class. Really supportive and the gym had all the equipment needed. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Top class raw gym with top equipment, large open plan area with machines and weights giving you ease to do your workouts, Designated areas for classes and loads of floor space.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and amazing variety of classes. The trainers are really welcoming and very knowledgable, makes for a very enjoyable session

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Raw gym for over 6 years now, it's a great gym with a friendly, inviting atmosphere. You see familiar faces all the time. There is plenty of equipment and it's never too busy. The classes are also great. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Brilliant set up, great gym and atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and selection of equipment

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Well run and very clean.

Positive experience: Decent gym. Member here for over a year. Equipment is ok for the price. Most of the staff are friendly. Only major complaint is the facilities. Showers are very poor

Fantastic experience: I joined Raw in November of 2022 and I would like to say with great confidence that it met my overall expectations as a gym . The facility are fantastic and the staff are very helpful. I would like to make a special mention to Nathan who has been so helpful over the past year. Someone who i can count on when needing a spot

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Raw Gym Sandyford for a while now, and it’s easily the best gym experience I’ve had. The facilities are top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment that makes every workout enjoyable. One of the standout features is that they include access to a sauna and an ice bath with their very reasonably priced membership—something you won’t find in other gyms nearby. The staff here are incredibly friendly and engaging, and they genuinely take an interest in their members, making you feel welcome every time you walk in. Another huge positive is that it’s never overly crowded or rammed, so you can always find space to train without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a high-quality gym experience!

Fantastic experience: Raw Gym is a fantastic gym with a great selection of equipment and classes. All the trainers are amazing and push and encourage you to your full potential. Would highly recommend it, great value for the facilities provided.

Negative experience: I've had a disappointing experience with this gym. Despite paying my monthly bill and providing proof of payment, they wrongly disabled my account. I've contacted them to restore my service and sent payment confirmation, but I've received no response for a week. Now that I've requested to cancel my membership, they're demanding I pay for an additional two months of service - even though I can't access the facilities. While the gym itself offers good value, their customer service and billing practices are unacceptable.

Positive experience: Nice gym but saw and heard uncomfortable comments and situations women’s were having there with staff.

Fantastic experience: Raw Gym is my favorite gym! I’ve been a member for almost a year now, and I love the spacious layout with high ceilings. The facilities are top-notch, including a sauna in the shower area, which is perfect for relaxing after a workout. There are also plenty of group classes to choose from, and all the coaches are highly professional. I’m especially grateful to my coach Liz—she’s incredibly friendly, patient, and has helped me make great progress! What I love most about Raw Gym is the inspiring atmosphere. Everyone here is strong, dedicated, and full of energy. It’s truly motivating! I highly recommend this gym to my friends and anyone looking for a great place to train.

Fantastic experience: This is by far one of the best gyms I have found in Dublin. I have been going to this gym for a good few months now and I never dread going. The trainers are fab and I do a good few weekly classes and have seen excellent progress. I usually join the classes from the trainers Adam, Kaz and Liz but all the trainers seem to know their stuff. Bonus points that the gym has a sauna which helps to destress me after a long day. Its a bit chilly in winter but all in all, highly reccommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined this gym, and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. The classes are superb, offering a wide range of options that keep things fresh and challenging. The instructors really know how to push you to your limits while keeping the energy high. But what truly sets this place apart is my personal trainer, Adam Byrne who is nothing short of amazing. Adams expertise and dedication have been instrumental in helping me reach my fitness goals. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Raw is by far the best gym I have ever been to! All of the team are so helpful and friendly, especially my own PT Rebecca who has been amazing!! Would recommend Raw Gym without any hesitation!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Dublin!! Rebecca is my PT and amazing!! Incredible team!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it here, all the trainers are so knowledgable and friendly. The variation of classes and times is excellent, being able to book them on the app and have accountability is great. Love the option of PT too and huge shout out to Rebecca for always pushing me and helping me reach my goals. If your thinking of joining a gym I can’t speak highly enough of Raw

Fantastic experience: I've have been a member in other gyms before I joined RAW about 4 months ago. I can honestly say, this is the best gym I have been to. I feel like I have been a member of RAW alot longer due the the staff, they all know their clients by first name, they are all very welcoming and are always keen to assist you. If you haven't joined RAW then your missing out .

Fantastic experience: Very spacious and clean

Fantastic experience: Raw Gyms Sandyford is an amazing gym. I’ve been a member since April 2024 and was a little nervous about going but on the first day, that went away. The staff are incredibly friendly, warm, very supportive and are always willing to help no matter what. They have great classes that suit everyone. When you’re finished your workout, you have the option of using their showers, cold plunge bath and/or the sauna. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone, I love it here!

Fantastic experience: A solid neighborhood gym with a friendly atmosphere. The equipment is well-maintained, and there's a good variety of classes offered.

Fantastic experience: my 1st time in a gym. I love it, I do everything on my own time, the staffs are very friendly, easy to park in Sandyford, I totally recommend it.

Positive experience: All good but the changing rooms. They stink and the showers are bad - no water pressure and only stay on for a few seconds before you have to push the button again

Fantastic experience: Great community, and great team first class friendly service

Fantastic experience: Love this gym ❤️ Anto is an amazing trainer !

Fantastic experience: I am so impressed with Raw Sandyford! The staff are always so friendly and helpful with any query I may have. The PTs are so well trained and the quality and range of classes is fantastic. I showed up on Saturday afternoon for a class, only to find that I was the only one registered. I expected that the class would therefore be cancelled, as is the case in other gyms I have gone to. However, Derek explained that I had the option of a free PT session with him, or I could do my own workout. I went for the PT session and was well and truly put through my paces! I was really not feeling motivated on Saturday and can honestly say that if I didn't have the PT session, I would have done a few half-hearted exercises and left. Thank you to Derek and Raw for this. As a side note, I also just wanted to say well done for everything the team have done through Covid. I only joined last summer and have been so impressed with how they have handled everything and all the precautions taken in both gyms, as well as the free online classes, helpful nutrition videos etc. Since returning after lockdown, I always feel safe in the gym, knowing how well cleaned all the equipment is and with how well spaced out everything is. I know that there must be an incredible amount of work going on in the background to keep everything running as smoothly as it is. Thank you! Amy

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! I’ve been to a few, and this is by far my favourite (I’m in sandyford location). Equipment is great, it has a really nice atmosphere within it, and it’s also never too crowded. Their response with covid was brilliant too, and I have always felt completely comfortable with their health and safety. Staff are all really great and approachable, and although I don’t do the classes myself, I know other members who find them really helpful. I do extra PT with Anto and hands down am in the best shape of my life, even with being in and out of lockdown. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Dublin! High standards, the machines and dumbbells are really good quality and the staff and trainers are always helpful and friendly. I love the place, 100% would recommend.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I have seen. All trainers are knowledge and friendly but still not afraid to push you.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely ADORE this gym, everyone is super friendly, its so so clean and never anything out of order, the staff cant do enough for you, if i could give it 10 stars i would

Fantastic experience: Great opening hours. Loads of classes. Very clean with sanitisation stations all over the gym. Plenty of decent personal trainers

Fantastic experience: I signed up to Raw in sandyford recently and I highly recommend it. I’m new to the gym and was afraid that it was going to be intimidating but it is not at all. It is never too busy, the equipment is great and the staff and trainers are always super friendly. If you’re looking for a gym, I’d highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and lovely staff

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym. Lovely staff and the personal training is excellent. I have Sarah as my trainer and she puts effort into creating the right plan for me. The best part is the personal aspect, unlike bigger chains, you feel like you're involved more and the trainers are always available to help. Great classes too.

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym really well run.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area! Very nice and well maintained facilities, great equipment and machines. The atmosphere in the gym is always great and staff/trainers are always very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend Raw Gyms to anyone - from beginners to advanced lifters.

Fantastic experience: After being a member of flye for a year or so I was sick of the bookings, packed gyms and sub standard equipment. So I joined raw and it was like nothing I’d ever seen. It’s a gym with great staff and plenty of weights and is never busy and always enough people to create a working atmosphere where you can get your workout done. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym in Donnybrook and staff very friendly. Great facilities. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great Equipment available! No Egos in the gym, everyone does there own thing!

Fantastic experience: Best Gym in Dublin Ireland I have ever been to. The staff/trainers are incredible and are all so professional. A big shout out to Edgar Sanchez , excellent trainer and manager - ask for him when you go. The facility has everything you could ask for, great classes and every machine you could ever want to workout and stay in shape. The other great thing is the gym is never full so can always get on a machine. They also have two clubs Sandyford and Donnybrook. Can't recommend this place enough - run don't walk if you are looking for a cool gym to join.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym & atmosphere, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Love the gym ! The staff members are amazing & super friendly. I like the vibe of the gym. Also, the classes are really helpful as they as they push you to bring out the best in you !

Fantastic experience: Have had top class personal training with Adam every week since Raw reopened. Have surpassed all my goals and still progressing. Feel very comfortable training in Raw due to there focus on Covid safety.

Fantastic experience: Such a good gym, been to both Sandyford and Donnybrook and both are equally good! Staff are really friendly & attentive. It's always so clean & hygienic and makes me feel at ease going there during the current situation. Definitely recommend RAW, the nicest people!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym for 3 years. Great people, great equipment and great classes.I have trained in various gyms over the years and RAW is definitely up there as one of the best. In the current COVID-19 climate RAW Sandyford is huge ( 30,000 sq.ft I think ) and you can train safely and social distancing is not a problem, I do feel safe training in RAW Sandyford and the staff and management have been particularly helpful to me ensuring that I can continue my training and maintain my fitness during the many lockdowns, Thanks a million

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff & classes are excellent. Couldn’t rate more highly!

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym in the area, reasonably priced and a great workout atmosphere – nice but not fancy, lots of people serious about fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of a number of gyms, but this is far and away my favourite. Such a spacious venue, with a lovely atmosphere. Comfortable for gym goers of all levels, and genuinely sound staff. Can't wait for lockdown to end so that I can get back!

Fantastic experience: I love Raw Sandyford , Always clean and nothing is ever broken or out of action, Everyone is polite both staff and other members

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, absolutely love training here! The staff are so friendly, full of energy and get the best from you. The training zones and other areas are spotless. Very safe, and well ran gym, would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Far better machinery than other main stream gyms, staff always friendly and welcoming. Every morning there’s always a hello and a goodbye which I never got in my last gym. Big focus on hygiene from all members and staff which is good to see.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, very clean, not too busy

Fantastic experience: Joined as a new member a few weeks ago. Can't speak highly enough of Raw. Their equipment is great and the team have been really helpful getting me set up. You can really notice the work they've put in creating a spacious clean training environment.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at this gym for more than 5 years now, and I couldn’t be happier. The staff is incredibly qualified , friendly and welcoming, which makes working out here a great experience every time. The equipment is good and always well-maintained. As someone who enjoys lifting heavy, I really appreciate that there's always plenty of weights and powerlifting racks available, no matter how busy it gets. Overall, it's a fantastic environment for anyone serious about fitness and lifting, whether you're just starting out, a seasoned lifter or a professional.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to train as the equipment is top notch. Lots of plates, bars, heavy dumbbells, and a great range of other equipment you won't see in most gyms. Staff are great and after taking a break for nearly 2 years it was like I never left. Great to see the legend Tommy Staunton training people there too. If you want to get pushed beyond your limits get him to train you.

Fantastic experience: Great gym staff, the gym is very inviting with lots of equipment and the classes really helped me lose weight...
