I joined Evo because I was so bored with the usual effort of going to the gym to do endless cardio,…read morewhere to be honest is sometimes an intimidating place for me. It wasnt really working, I was doing too much cardio and not enough weights so i was just staying the same shape and not really getting lean and toned. Plus it was soooooo boring!!!! SO with that I joined Evo fitness. The results really speak for themselves, I even cheated a fair bit on the diet and still lost weight (mainly around the tummy area) but what I was super happy with was the muscle I had gained. For once my dweeby little arms were finally getting some sort of shape, my legs looked great and my arse fit perfectly into my jeans. Some parts of the diet are hard but to be honest you need to be dedicated if you want to change, and if you dedicate to this YOU WILL! The team are AMAZING. Not only do they teach you, they make working out a really good laugh plus its only 20 mins each time. Who cant commit to that everyday? HIGHLY recommend everyone and anyone to give this a try! You wont regret it

I cannot recommend this place enough, its my go to place for some sanctuary in the evenings…read more You can join this gym for €29 a month or pay €32 to roam between any of the Flyefit gyms. Its really well kitted out here, plenty of free weights, benches, machines, squat racks and most importantly bars and plates are in abundance. If you have any issues the staff are quick to email you back in the main office and the staff in the gym itself are always very pleasant too. Nobody really bothers you here so you can get in and get it done if thats your kind of thing. They even have astro type fake well cushioned grass to stretch on and do floor exercises. Obviously if you come here during peak times you are asking for it - take your place among the rat run. But if you can get in when its quiet there is plenty of space to practice your best poses for the Arnold Classic! Never had a problem here, would genuinely be sad if I left Dublin to see the back of this place. Its a great gym... Come here on Friday and Saturday nights if you want to get to grips with a different kinda bar.

The "movement" ethos…read morepermeates everything we do there and I'm already starting to feel big improvements in my back and shoulders after years of struggling with pain and discomfort from an old whiplash injury. The classes are fun, diverse and challenging. You can focus on strength, stretch, balance, mobility or some mix of all of those depending on your needs and your interests. There's a great atmosphere in the classes and it isn't a struggle to get myself to go to classes at all. In fact i hate missing them and can notice the difference in my body if it's been a few days since I've been. I've only been going a couple of months but it's already obvious that Andy knows his stuff and is really keen to make sure that the programme is tailored to each persons needs. If you've done the monotonous soulless gyms and are ready to try something different and excited then I'd highly recommend AM Fitness.

This is probably the best-equipped gym I have ever used for free-weights. They have 7 squat racks…read moreas well as two squat cages and because of this, even at peak times I've only seen them all taken twice after coming 3 times a week for 6 months. Even those times, I did not have to wait long for one to become available. They use olympic-style bumper weights and put one set next to each rack rather than mounting them on the rack itself, and this keeps them much more organised and these weights go down to 0.5kg. They have a wide variety of bars too. On top of that, there's a huge dumbbell area, strongman things like stone balls and tractor tires, all manner of steps and wedges to use while lifting and a pretty good selection of machines, most of which are plate-loaded, and they keep a bowl of chalk in the center of the main floor for anyone who wants it. They have a selection of benches too, including a few to use with the squat racks. Only one of the horizontal benches has a safety bar though, which is unfortunate as if you don't have a spotter watching you, it's something essential for benching at a work weight. One thing you can definitely say about the place is that it's a gym that focuses on lifting weights. They have cardio equipment too, such as a few treadmills, a stair machine, an elliptical and a bike, but they aren't the main focus like they are in most gyms, which suits me. The staff are all very friendly and run a tight ship, keeping the place in good order. You'll never see plates and weights left around the place in a mess like you do at a lot of other gyms. That said, I do think there is a small bit of room for improvement. The dressing rooms are very basic and the lockers are badly beaten and worn. The usual place to leave bags is instead under the stairs which is safe enough, but still a bit messy and awkward to get into. They don't directly employ any trainers so if you want someone to help you with a program or personal training, you have to hire one of their outside guys which costs extra (whereas a lot of other gyms will have someone on staff to give you a training program for free). The car parking is also a problem as they only have a small bit of space and people often have to park places that aren't actually parking spaces.

I went along…read moreyesterday for the first time, with a degree of trepidation, after hearing they'd involve something called 'suicide sprints'. Had never heard of them before and Google didn't exactly make them sound pleasant. It turns out they're something I'd have known as shuttle runs and done once upon a time with football and taekwondo. Still, it had been a while since I'd done circuit training. So along I went and there were 13 in the class of varying ages and fitness levels. That didn't matter. If you're unfit and giving it 100%, you'll get as much out of it as someone younger and fitter giving it 100%. I was drenched in sweat and knackered at the end of it but I felt good. I'll be stiff today and maybe a bit more tomorrow but I'll definitely go there again!

Not only are his classes top-notch (and a steal for the price), he's also very personable and makes sure his clients know how to get the most out of their workouts, both in and out of the gym.

None of that "up for four, hover for four, pedal backwards as you pushup on the handlebars" crap here: just pure, honest, sweat-puddle spinning.

It's still got a big airy warehouse vibe to it, but every piece of equipment is top spec. You can see that there's been no expense spared, and sure isn't that what you want when you fork out for a gym membership? I was actually pretty surprised at the price range as well - ranging from 31 - 49 per month which is pretty insane value in my book. If you join Sandyford, you automatically get membership in Camden too. There's a very decent cardio corner with some serious looking climbers that caught my eye, a massive TRX set up, impressive looking static weight machines and an even more impressive range of free weights. What really struck me though was the lay out of the place - every little detail has been thought through very carefully and the flow is spot-on. Oh there's also a huge spinning room but seriously, spinning is the devil's work. No need for it at all. Spacious changing rooms with sparkling showers, hairdryers etc complete the package. Why has no one opened something like this north side of the city?
