Southside Gym Sandyford

Fantastic experience: One of my favourite places in Dublin. It was my second time in this gym and it was even better than the first. Great machines and great people. Looking forward to returning.

Fantastic experience: I usually don’t leave reviews on places but this gym is genuinely special. It has one of the most vast array of equipment and machines that you will not find anywhere else . All the equipment is top tier and always in good condition . The gym has a constant inflow of new equipment from all over the world. If a machine is broken they fix it within a day or two at most. The bathrooms and lockers are cleaned every day and kept very sanitary. There are plenty of lockers too. The dumbbell section is great with plenty of dumbbells to go around. The machines also have several of each style so you never have to wait to do an exercise. The powerlifting section is nice with plenty of weights. Overall I can’t find a fault with this gym and all for a very fair price for how great it is. I wouldn’t leave this gym come hell or high water. Only critique that one could have is that they could do with a new rear delt machine as the upstairs one has a weird arm path on it which forces me to use cables instead.

Fantastic experience: By far the best the best gym in Dublin was a member for 6 months and still n3ver managed you use all the equipment in the gym no shortage of equipment and the staff couldn't be nicer extremely helpful at all times

Fantastic experience: One workout is enough to remember to go to the gym

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I have ever been to ! Super friendly staff, top quality equipement ( pro bodybuilder quality) and great atmosphere !

Negative experience: Went to the gym for like 2 years, very tight place and not clean. Equipment is old.

Fantastic experience: Great gym - loads of free weights and machines, plenty of squat racks and a really good selection of cardio equipment as well. More expensive than the cheap chain gyms, but well worth it.

Positive experience: Great gym, top machines and spacious enough, clean toilets, etc. The only downside is the parking

Fantastic experience: Best gym

Fantastic experience: Arguably one of the best gyms in the country with a wide range of equipment along with some very rare specialist pieces of equipment. Management is also constantly reinvesting in the gym acquiring additional equipment for members to enjoy.

Fantastic experience: This gym is hands down one of the best out there a place where energy, discipline, and motivation are at their peak every single day. From the moment you step in, you’re surrounded by a 100% motivation-filled crowd that pushes you to go harder, train smarter, and never give up. The community is welcoming, and the vibe is electric — no egos, just pure passion for fitness. Whether you’re lifting, running or just starting your journey, this gym gives you everything you need to grow physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience: Southside is a Premium gym for an affordable price. Staff is extremely professional and kind, as all of them have extensive knowledge and experience with any and every aspect of fitness, bodybuilding, nutrition, powerlifting, or simply trying to have a healthier life. They are always ready to help and they make sure you do every exercise correctly and efficiently. Machines used in the gym are top notch and professional, there's everything from a casual gym goer to a professional preparing for competitions can use. Clientele is also really kind and friendly, you won't ever feel uncomfortable or alone like in some other places. There are busy times of course, but if you time it right there's practically no queue or waiting time for any station you can do your workout comfortably and without interruptions

Occasionally equipment is broken but staff are very quick to repair and have it back in order promptly. Car parking can be difficult but that’s to be expected in Dublin.

Fantastic experience: I joined Southside Gym because I was working in Dublin for a few months and needed somewhere to train.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, probably one of the best I've ever been too. Excellent array of equipment to use from, lots of machines that other gyms do not have. Moved away from the area so unfortunately had to cancel membership. :( Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good weight lifting/body building workout.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever used. Tons of machines to choose from, staff always friendly and laid back.

Fantastic experience: Such a brilliant gym. They have everything and more that you probably haven't thought of before. Particularly impressed by the Legs section's variety. Everything very clean, never seen equipment in need of repair.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym very friendly staff. Changing room and shower facilities a bit small but equipment and general atmosphere makes up ten fold.

Negative experience: An opportunistic and greedy company that should be avoided. This is a good facility and the equipment is great. However, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. The General Manager is unhelpful and was unwilling to refund either of the two payments (€118) they took after my request to cancel membership using the contact details online (no online cancellation facility). They quote Ts&Cs that are buried on the website rather than facilitating anything as a gesture of a goodwill. Its clear I intended to cancel as this was requested, and had not attended since this date, yet there is nothing they can do to help due to 'company policy'. Disappointing. *editing in response to the nonsense reply from the business* where in what I have written above does not align with what happened? Getting such a reply from this business suggesting a previous customer is lying to save face publically aligns perfectly with my interactions to date. Poor customer service from GM, opportunistic, greedy, and to boot, doesn't respond to emails but does to public facing responses. Southside gym are similar to Internet service providers who make you jump through hoops to cancel. Bear that in mind folks.

Fantastic experience: Unreal gym! Great equipment, so much variety, and it isn't too busy. Plus nobody tries to steal your spaghetti if you have to put your spaghetti down while you train. I had an entire bowl of spaghetti and nobody even tried to eat my spaghetti

Fantastic experience: Best gym in south dublin and continues to keep growing each year. Offers both powerlifting and bodybuilding equipments which many gyms in dublin don’t provide.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, you can find every type of equipment you can imagine and some that you never thought of, staff is nice, venue spotless and what I love the most, most of the people going are really devoted gym-goers so you are motivated to keep pushing your limits, something that in other more "commercial" gyms is not the case.

Fantastic experience: This is more than likely the best gym you will set foot in. Something for everyone, especially those serious about shifting big weights. A pleasure to train in.

Fantastic experience: Southside have all the machines you will need in a gym, and they have duplicates of it so you wont need to stop your training

Fantastic experience: The best gym I have been to in Dublin. Brilliant equipment available for all types of abilities. There are so many variations of machines making it easy to find something during peak times to use. I personally go to one of the personal trainers in the gym (jay) and have done for a long time now. One of the best coaches I’ve had in a long time, great value for money and a great way to learn your way around a new gym. He creates not only a fun way of training but also a plan and nutritional plan for you to follow outside of sessions. The staff are so friendly and so helpful if you ever need anything. Private showers for customers to use. 10/10 !

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym in Dublin, I never have a bad session. The kit is unbeatable as is the friendly and positive atmosphere. The only bad thing is we can't put wheels on the gym and bring it to the Northside of Dublin- but it's worth the trek over every time.
