Great people and very dedicated, it makes a huge difference in a gym they really motivate you to…read moreyour goals. Thank you guys!

I am a member of this gym and my only complaint about it would be that I don't go enough!…read more I work close by so it's very handy for me to go after work. It's big, bright and has plenty of space for its members. I rarely have to wait for any machines, particularly in the cardio section, but the odd time I have to hang around for some of the weight machines. It has a big pool (which I never use) and a spinning studio and aerobic studio. I have gone to quite a few of their classes and have to admit that I think their kai bo/aerobic/step classes are only ok. I've been to much better ones elsewhere. But for people who like to take a class over a workout, then this is a good option to have.

I really like this gym. Apart from the things I really hate about this gym…read more It's cheap, you don't need yearly contracts or anything like that. Pay as you go, stop paying when you don't want to go anymore. Simple. Also on the plus side, for someone that doesn't use any fancy machinery for his workout, this is awesome. There's a pretty big free weight area, and a very very good number of power racks! If you go to the gym to squat, bench, deadlift and that sort of stuff, Flye Fit has got you covered! Although I tend to keep away from them a bit, there's also a very good number of cardio machines, treadmills, bicycles, those things where you pretend you're walking up stairs, etc. You're a bit out of luck if you want a spa, smiths machine, a pool, back massages, or anything like that. There's equipment there, go and use it. That's pretty much it. What I really really hate about this place? It's a bloody mess most of the times. Spotting someone from the gym staff actually putting things back in their place is a rare sight indeed, and weights, dumbbells, kettle-bells, etc, are left all over the freaking place (it would help if people had better gym-etiquette, but they don't). My second gripe... some of the Personal Trainers don't really set much of an example, on the contrary, they tend to do one of the most annoying things you can do in a crowded gym... being a hoarder. "Oh these 25 sets of dumbbells, and these four 5kg plates? Yeah, we'll be using all of that, sorry!". Gah that makes me so mad! Soooo mad! I need to go lift some heavy things right now, to appease this rage! Gah! So yeah, a decent gym if you want to work out and you don't need anything fancy, or any hand-holding at all. Also helps if you're not intimidated by the sound of weights being dropped much louder than necessary (so ALPHA! GRAW!). Get a couple more staff in this place to keep it a bit less chaotic, and I'd definitely bump up the rating to 4 stars. Don't skip leg day!

This is the most recent Flye Fit Gym in Dublin. The…read morebuilding is a converted old warehouse which resulted in an ample open space. They've been adding more and more equipment since it opened, and now there are plenty of weights to choose from without having to wait. They offer some classes like Yoga (not real yoga, but it's good enough for a gym class), Ryde, Boxing or X Fit, these are all included in your membership, you just need to book online. The Ryde class is pretty good, the bikes have an articulated frame that allows you to move and turn almost like in a real bike. Why isn't this a five star review? There are three things that make the whole experience fall away from perfection: 1. The (revolving) doors. Don't be too fat and/or don't bring a very big bag because you may end up having a really hard time trying to go through these. 2. The shower's water temperature. You just press a button and wait for the water to come out, which is really nice and simple in theory, but, as we all know, reality sucks and you get cold water in the start and really hot scalding water by the end. 3. Disorder in the weights area. The gym isn't the only one to blame here, ofc, though it could enforce a bit better the idea of leaving everything in its right place once you're finished. If you have an OCD it will be a nightmare. Else it can be a pain to try and track down that specific weight or bench you need for your workout. Anyway, I strongly recommend this gym. The price is great value and there is no contract - you can stop paying and going anytime you want, and you can do it online with zero fuss. You can manage everything online, for that matter, since changing your access code to the gym (the card you choose to get through the door) to booking classes. I believe it can be a good gym for a beginner too - if you don't have many specific and special needs. The afternoons are always more crowded - but not too much - as well as Saturday/Sunday mornings.

Ok this is more of a 3.5 than a 3, but I have to talk about the reception staff here. Surely…read moreensconced within the 'receptionist' role, is a warm RECEPTION for your guests? Those who pay the bills? Each time I've come in here, I've had one gripe or another. Either they are too busy chatting amongst themselves to say hello or goodbye, or they're just not super arsed in being friendly. I get that they're busy, but this is not a cheap gym by any stretch of the imagination so it would be nice to be received with a bit more courtesy. I arrived today at 1.42pm to register for spinning class at 2pm. They say that registration opens 15 mins before each class, so despite being there and ready to go, the receptionist turned to another spinner and I telling us we'd have to wait to register. Now this isn't some high tech scenario on a computer that literally doesn't open til the set time - it's jotting your name down on a piece of paper. I would like to say in full disclosure that the receptionist was tending to someone else at the time, but if she had enough time to turn to us and tell us we'd have to wait til quarter to for signing our name, surely she'd have had enough time to pass us the registration paper. Thankfully which is what another staff member did, once he heard the comment from his colleague. It took him about 0.2 seconds to pass us the sheet. A bit of common sense wouldn't go astray in situations like this. I'm still a major fan of this gym and most of the staff so far have been great, but it would be great if there was a bit less of a "Computer Says Noooooo" attitude in here (What an episode that was!)

I need to update this review with major news!…read more After a hard training, I usually go as far as the shower and don't even take the time to dry my hair before I go home. This time I felt like pushing my boundaries, wearing my bikini in public, and going to the spa. 1* For the spa: It's called spa but it's basically a huge swimming pool, a sauna, a steam room, a jaccuzzi, and tropical showers - meaning different water temperature. The place is warm - not too warm ! - and clean. I have a bit of an OCD when it comes to hygiene and this place has my stamp of approval. 1* For the sauna: Dry heat as you would expect. The interior is made of wood and the heat place is made of stones. There are 3 different levels and - of course - as the heat goes up the highest seats are warmer. It's not too hot so you can have a good sweat. Don't stay too long though and do not wear jewelry - you will get burnt. 1* For the showers: I love to alternate sauna / medium heat shower to cold / steam room. Some people like to take a cold shower right away but I don't appreciate the extreme change in temperature. I go for medium heat shower and possibly cold after that, it has to be step by step. 1* For the steam room: What a great sensation to be in a steam room! The heat and humidity is no overwhelming and that's a plus. You can't stay very long - as per usual - but you can still handle a good moment. Also there is an ambiance music played in the room to help fully relax. This place is a treat ! You eliminate the bad toxines in your body, you work on your breathing system, and you relax all at once. I haven't tried the swimming poor nor the jaccuzzi but that should happen very soon. 1* For the hair dryer: OMG Those hair dryers are so amazing it only take a few minutes to get my hair completely dry. And my hair is long to my waist. And not easily cooperative when it comes to drying! I need to take a picture of how everything is set up, but in short you can find 4/5 hair dryers and 1 hair straightener along a long mirror. You have space to put your brush or other hair/make-up products and get ready. Even when it's busy girls always make space for one another. Very friendly changing room ! 1* For the free trial: I asked for a few trial tickets for my boyfriend. They couldn't give any because this gets sent from the headquarter. At first I thought it was a bummer but then I remembered that a couple of months ago I received free trial tickets by post and a 5 day pass as well ! Should I remove a star ? It's true there should be more flexibility on that aspect but on the other hand they send a lot of incentives by post. I leave this star for now :D 1* For the beauty centre: Today I noticed a new poster in the entrance promoting a new beauty centre. Opening soon facilities for waxing, semi-permanent make-up, manicure, and pedicure. There was something else but I don't remember... Anyway, depending on the price I might want to take a look and report to my fellow yelpers :) That's all for now. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them ! #yelpmeplease #eliteyelper #yelp

As a student forced (yes we are required to for our degrees) to pay UCD over €250 a year for this…read morerubbish, only to be told it's extra to use half the facility, I wouldn't bother going near this place. I wouldn't even mind that it's an extra €100 for "full access" (so that's over €350 now) but it's not "full access". You are BANNED from using the pool side gym which is air conditioned and forced to use the small "performance gym" for most of the time you aren't in lectures or meetings. As such I can only comment on the performance gym which is: small, very hot (to the point I have nearly thrown up from training before, not due to exhaustion or over training, but purely from the heat), and lacking in good equipment. One example is there are only 2 rowing machines for students to use in the entire facility since we cannot access the pool side gym. One of which for a long time had a broken foot strap which was "fixed" with a shoe lace, and the other which had a broken monitor so you hadn't a clue of your split time or strokes per minute. The resistance of the machines also was almost certainly broken as it felt significantly lighter at full resistance than any other university gym I've visited before in my undergraduate degree. On top of all that, you are forced to bring a towel (something that just means either paying UCD more money for washing that towel if you live on campus if you go to the gym every day or paying UCD more money to get the towel from reception, either way you are effectively paying UCD per gym trip on top of the €350 you have to pay to be allowed this privilege), supposedly for "hygiene" even though you're meant to use the disposable paper roll and antibacterial spray to clean equipment so not sure what the exact expected use is for. Plus you cannot give any feedback on this. Go to any staff member and they will either pretend like it's perfectly fair that on top of the tens of thousands in fees, this forced gym membership, and the cost to actually use the gym because of this ridiculous rule about towels that is unique to UCD for a shit service, or they will blame an "external company" and feign ignorance regarding any complaints procedure to make you go away. All in all, waste of money, awful place for students and the lack of capacity internally for feedback is shocking. Serious change needed and if I was in government, I'd be wanting to know where UCD is putting the money they are getting for student facilities because it's definitely not going towards students.

If you are a 40 year old woman, you could encounter a 7 year old boy checking out your goods in the FEMALE CHANGING AREA because his mother brought him in. The hotel's excuse is they don't have any Family Changing Rooms, (never mind that the hotel has 400 rooms and families can change in their own rooms.) So yeah, the hotel allows any gender child to access any gender changing room and they say there's nothing they can do. So sorry if you are uncomfortable. By the way, FlyFit gym is 1 block away and they charge half as much. They also don't allow children.

I joined this gym in January and come quite regularly. It's kept clean and isn't too crowded…read morewhenever I go in the late afternoons or weekend mornings and never seems to get super crowded, maybe because there are a few other gyms in the area (Educo, Fly Fit, Spencer dock, Cross Fit). I paid the student rate of 400 euro for a 12 month membership and you must pay 2 months up front, which is cheaper than mu previous gym. They have a variety of free classes like cross fit, spinning, abs classes, aerobics etc. as well as paid ones which are discounted for members like swimming lessons and yoga. There are a few types of memberships depending on your usage, like off peak, family plan, and 3 monthly etc. at varying prices. There is a Club Vitae app as well that you can use to book any of the classes. They have a nice 22 meter pool, sauna, jacuzzi and steam room. The pool usually only has a few people whenever I'm there, but it's very crowded on weekends when there's kids swimming lessons in the mornings. The weights and cardio room have plenty of treadmills, but only a few of the other machines like bikes and cross trainers. The machines seem kind of old, but they still function fine. The area is smaller than massive gyms like Fly Fit, but they have a big enough weights area but only one of each type of weights machine. The changing rooms are kept very clean. I don't really like the showers as you can't control the temperature and it's quite lukewarm. Also it stops every minute or so and you have to wait a few seconds before you can turn it on again which I found weird. The staff are all very friendly, and the 10% discount on food from the V-Deli as well as the Vitae Spa for members is a nice bonus. They also sell protein powders, bars, coffee, fruit, swim suits, locks and swim caps. Free personal training and designing of a new workout program is also available to members. Overall, flexible membership options at reasonable prices, well kept and well equipped. Cleanliness: 5/5 Crowdedness: 3/5 Variety of Equipment: 3/5 Staff: 5/5 Value and price: 5/5
