Fantastic experience: Super classes always! Great fun environment and James is a great instructor. He gives very clear instruction and will take the time to show you anything your unsure of! He is brilliant for adapting the classes for each individual's needs which is great, especially for anyone that may have an injury. Playlists are brilliant, super range of weights and equipment and love that there is fresh air circulating through the gym when the doors are open on a sunny day, doesn't feel stuffy!

Barney Gaughan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have been going to James now for a few months and can honestly say it’s one of the best gyms I’ve been to in the last 10 years. The thing I like the most is the classes are made up of all ages and fitness levels but everyone can find their limit and really push to make the most of each session. Unlike a normal gym where I find myself wandering aimlessly, James has the classes planned out so that I don’t even have to think about what to do. Tunes are decent as well.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here twice a week for 3 months and noticed a great improvement on myself. Used to go to the gym 3 times a week for an hour and a half, I think I can do the same if not more here in less time. The trainer is great, adds good craic to the sessions, only con is his singing, but you get used to it after a while.

Fantastic experience: Popped in to have a look around at the set up while grabbing the morning coffees and it’s a great addition to craughwell. The guy on the floor was super friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Square One Training enough! James along with the other members are so welcoming to new faces. A great mix of strength training with a little bit of cardio. Classes are tough but cater to all fitness levels, James ensures the fun is not forgotton along the way. I always leave in a better mood than when I went in. Extremely easy online booking system and you pay by class so no contract which will suit a busy schedule. Tunderstuck by AC/DC will also be your new favourite song after just a few classes. :)
