First time at a reformer class & didn't know what to expect. Viv was very informative &…read moreprofessional, taking the time to engage & make sure my form was correct. As a beginner I would definitely recommend attending Viv's class as she is incredible at what she does & makes the class enjoyable while ensuring a good workout. I was sceptical if it would be for me due to injuries but with the right coaching I didn't have any issues. I will definitely be a regular & I am looking forward to my next class. Thanks Viv

Ok so I've been looking for a yoga studio that I REALLY like in Dublin for quite some time. They're…read morealways either too smelly or too regimented or too fake or have terrible schedules or not enough choice. Enter the Elbow Room. It's not quuiite five star (purely because the classes don't fit exactly to my schedule, so I'd prefer if there were a few more to choose from), but it's very nearly there. Firstly, it's in a very old building that's been renovated nicely, in that bit of Dublin that's kinda Smithfield, kinda Stoneybatter. There's something about the approach to the building that instills a calm in me already - there's nothing more off-putting than trying to get your zen on in a community hall or office block. The calm continues inside with nice homely decor, and an overriding sense of tranquility (candles and insence are great aren't they!) Then there is the range of classes available. Everything from Vinyasa Flow to Hatha, Ashtanga and Hot Yoga. As I said, it would be great if they had a choice of one of these per day - they are spread out over the week - so this won't be the studio for you if you want to do only one type per day. There is also a free vege lunch if you attend one of the day time classes. The classes that I've been to so far have generally had about 15 people in them, so it's never been too crowded. I've also not had a teacher that I haven't rated highly. This is all after just a few weeks in this spot, so come back for the re-review in a few months time, but for now, I'm zenned up like a *&*%^!

Read carefully.This is subjective rating and there's a good reason for that…read more I'll start off with a bitter words. All good will be at the end, like a dessert is. Major problem lies within "check-in to redeem offer". When you browse through businesses on Yelp, you find some businesses that offer discounts or freebies when you check-in there. So there was €20 off for a single session. This offer was corner stone for my choice. Called in, arranged appointment, showed up, checked-in, got a treatment. When was time to pay, I says "... here's the money just €20 less due to your €20 discount...". Mr. Eoin said this was expired offer therefore he cannot apply discount. I was thrown off, because there actually was a note "running though January". See attacthed screenshots here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16547519/WebShare/4ever/Body%20Mechanics%20Check-in%20offer.png. But wait, there's a catch. You can't see that condition unless you do the check-in and press the redeem button. And you can't do a check-in far away from business's location. Yelp doesn't let you. Naturally I checked-in only when arrived at the place. Secondly, I didn't redeem the code until time came to pay. I tried to argue softly, but Mr. Eoin firmly said discount is not available (it wasn't January). I had second appointment where I confronted Mr. Eoin about the discount and requested more strongly to get one. He gave in eventually after uncomfortable argue that this is not right and discount should be taken off if it is not available at current time. He gave me only €10 discount only to me off his back (I assume). I accepted it. Didn't come back and not planning to due to unfair and cheating practices The good stuff. Mr. Eoin is brilliant at what he does. He knows the body. His diagnosis was correct and treatment was affective. He is a nice gentleman, I'd say. Regardless of his unfair business practice I would recommend him to anyone who has muscle or movement problems. Place is big. Plenty of room. He's training equipment. You can do few exercises just to know how you need to do them later by yourself correctly. This is extremely useful. Bus stops are just near. Dublin Bikes station just outside. Close to city centre. P.S. I brought this issue to Yelp. They informed that business owners regulate promotions and Yelp is not accountable for them (promotions). This is sad, because even by this date, after a year, this check-in offer is still available and is deceiving.

He's a person that listens to you and looks at the body as a whole, instead of just the immediate body part to evaluate the necessary measures to take to entirely heal your body. For the first time in almost 3 years, I am entirely pain free, and it's all truly thank to him.

I'm sorry to say that this is my first bad review on any place but I feel compelled to write it…read more Despite what a lot of people say, I have had really good experiences with Chripractors in the past and see them as a good way of treating certain problems. I have suffered from back and neck problems for many years and having recently (Christmas Eve) done my back in again, and not having a Chriopractor in Dublin, I bought a deal from Groupon/CityDeal for this business who have two locations in the city. As I could not get an appointment with the Terrenure branch and currently suffering with my back I managed to get an appointment with the one in Blessington Street. The deal was an examination with three follow-up treatments but you had to have the examination first on a separate appointmnent. I made the appointments two weeks prior to the day, and having explained the situation to the receptionist and being keen to being treatment I booked the examination for Wednesday and the first treatment appointment for the next day, Thursday. I have limited time off due to work commitments and had scheduled these appointments as a priority to getting my back sorted. I arrived on time for my appointment on Wednesday and while the receptionist was putting together paperwork for me to fill out I mentioned that I was going to be coming the next day also for my first treatment. I was then informed that the Chiropractor was unavailable the next day and that I 'should have been told' but they were unable to accomodate my first appointment until 8th February, another 2 weeks later (despite my already waiting 3 weeks for the initial appointment). Seriously unprofessional, clearly trying to make as much money as possible while messing people who are in pain around, I have respect for Chiropractors but would advise anyone looking for one to avoid this one at all costs cause if you are in pain and you do have an appointment, it may very well be quite some time before you can schedule your next!

i discovered Vilma because she lectured at my college and i later found out that she had her own…read morepractice in town close to where i live. of course i had to go check her out :) if you read my other reviews of medical places, i generally tend to pick places based on convenience because i'm lazy :) it's actually really dumb luck that i've found so many great practitioners in dublin. or maybe ireland is just full of amazing people, i dunno. i went to Vilma initially for cranio-sacral therapy, and then eventually for some herbal medicine. she has a well-rounded holistic approach to health and she's extremely knowledgeable. she's not afraid to explain things to you in simple terms that you can understand and really relate to your own health. according to her web site, she does cranio-sacral therapy, naturopathy, herbal medicine, and nutrition among other things. when i went to her for cranio, i really had zero idea what it was all about aside from the few things friends had told me about it. but really, all i knew was that some people had deep emotional responses and some just came out of it feeling very relaxed. and i have to admit, i went into it with a healthy dose of skepticism. i also went there after a good healthy dose of cappuccino. heh. so suffice it to say, i didn't actually expect to be able to calm down as much as i eventually ended up doing. in fact it was such a distinct change in my disposition that at the end when we were talking about it, she said she "saw" a point at which my body started accepting the treatment and released a blockage. i completely felt that! it was so bizarre and almost surreal to me to be told by someone else what i had physically felt. especially when all that had been going on for an hour was me lying on my back and her with her hands places under my bum and on my chest. she also asked me if there was something going on with my thyroid or throat or if i had something i needed to talk about. i wasn't sure then, but i later found out that in fact there was something going on there. so color me a believer! i think Vilma is one of those very intuitive people which i completely appreciate because it shows that she's willing to connect with her patients and listen to them, even if they aren't actually speaking in words. i've had a handful of treatments with her and every single time i go in there frazzled like a chewed up electrical cord, i come out feeling calm, happy and on a few occasions positively giddy. and on a more physical level, she fixed a headache i'd had for days on one visit; on another, she made my sciatica go away (at least til i messed up my back again).

Lucy is a great instructor- full of energy, friendly, and motivating without being intimidating about it. The first part of class is choreographed cardio on the mini trampoline. There are safety handles so don't worry! It takes a few songs to get acquainted with the feeling of being on the trampoline, but even as you get your footing and learn the moves you're still having fun and working hard. The last part of the class is strength training focusing on arms, abs, and butt/thighs. You will feel the burn! Boogie Bounce is the kind of class you look forward to, and if I'm looking forward to working out, Lucy is definitely doing something right.
