    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

    Never ever open. Closed all summer. Someone's on holidays apparently. Last year it was closed for…read morerenovations which of course never happened. All lies. Employ more people and open the pool or close it completely to the public. Absolute nonsense, waste of time. Don't bother bringing your family here. Rubbish.

    I was a frequent swimmer at this pool for a while, but eventually gave up for a number of reasons…read more For one thing, the pool was always simply too crowded. I know, not really anybody's fault, but it really would be too full to swim lanes. I am by no means a fast or even very good swimmer, I just like to swim to help me keep fit, but after a while it was driving me crazy constantly having to dodge other people. The changing rooms were also very crowded, and often a bit dirty, while there was not always hot water in the showers. Another problem was that for the morning swims, when the pool is supposed to open at 9, it often didn't. The staff was regularly late. The pool is part of the facilities of the Central Remedial Clinic. For that reason, the temperature of the air and the water are higher than in 'normal' pools. Some might like it, but for me personally, I found it uncomfortable. I also did the ladies water aerobics in the pool a few times. It is actually good fun, good exercise and pretty good value at €6, but it was really too crowded, especially in the changing rooms before and after. To sum up: the CRC pool is probably okay for kids who want to play around in the water, but if you actually want to swim for a bit of exercise, I wouldn't recommend it.

    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.

    Great place for students to come work out. They can facilitate every sport you can think off…read more Have played Olympic handball here. They offer swimming facilities, tennis, outdoor fields for most sports (even american football) and have an indoor sports hall for badminton, basketball and volleyball.
