Flyefit is basically anything you would expect from a gym: -…read moreIt is reaaally cheap (29€/month) - It is very central (Baggot St Lower) - It doesn't smell like old, disgusting perspiration and it's very clean - It is pretty big - The machines are moderns - The music is pretty cool! Well, your body will still hurt like hell after training, you won't be able to take any stairs, and your muscle will be sore as if you walked as fast as possible in a wall, but, hey, I'm not sure any gym can help with that :)

I find that there is not enough machines I would like to use, but the free weights area is really good. People are young and good looking. Overall, the best offer for that money in central Dublin.

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.

Very clean, huge & great selection of classes, very helpful & very friendly staff from all…read moredepartments within, sometimes I notice staff are afraid to make on the spot decisions probably for good reason but can be frustrating to members or guests and I find the members very friendly and some very funny. Since they introduced the Keiser Spin bike in 2015 I have increased my Power/Watts/FTP by over 33% in less than a year (spin class watts was 200/220 Watts now 330/353 Watts per 45 min spin class) with a max Keiser display calorie burn of 800 - 880+ per 45 min spin class, I have learned how to recover in a very high tempo while on the road by using the spin classes. Every time I think I have peaked and it's impossible to get any more power I get a new number :) and because it's the gym it's not weather permitting and more consistent in the winter months which gives a better output for the new year as I can keep an eye on my levels in the spin classes. I Unknown to the instructors use different instructors for different aspects of my training for cycling, Katarina - technique(which gets extra watts for the same effort) and heart/cadence/power zones, Dave, Ryan and Mauraid - Power with huge watts for long periods(The Hurt House Class, help me to hurt others on the road), Alan - Cadence with Power Training, this proves it was within me to improve, I just needed someone to kick my ass pushing me to my limits while training to get me there, and while on the road cycling, I amaze myself with my well earned gains and I do say to myself while raising my bidon "CHEERS one escape", my only complaint is the spin room could be a bit colder and maybe a little more technical as I know the training staff have the latest know how to be, their list of qualifications go on and on" IMPRESSIVE". The gym equipment WOW, plenty & the variety is huge, you won't be waiting, EVER. Swimming pool, Sauna, Steam Room(probably the best in Dublin) and Jacuzzi are all excellent. A big plus is the management are very approachable & do listen, which is an art lost in modern times with businesses and their customers. I have been in this gym for many years so I know that the people who own it, reinvest and give me the impression they adapt to its customers as I do get the impression the P.T. make the decisions on the classes, so it's a case of the people who are in the know are making the decisions, I make this comment strictly from observation and experience. I know I am NOT a member of a one hit wonder. As far as the cost goes you have to ask yourself the question, do you want a hostel or the shelbourne hotel, at what level of fitness do you want to get, are you happy with being fit or do you want to be super fit, one escape gets 5* from me. Yes it's more expensive than the rest but when I look at my gains, "WELL WORTH IT" and an investment in my future health, my resting HR is now 45-50 at 43, it used to be in the 70's in the days of bad diet, smoking 30-60 a day and no exercise with XXL clothing in my early 30's and the belief on bad health, sure it only happens to everyone else. It's future is an ICON for Dublin, and a standard that other health clubs/gyms can only strive to try and achieve. If anyone knows of a better gym in Dublin I would like to know where it is because I have been around jumping in and out of them in Dublin city and I can't find one. Sure they get things wrong and make mistakes, the gym and staff aren't perfect but they are getting by far more things right than wrong.

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 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.

This is a nice little gym in Clonskeagh. Its a bit out of the way for me but i have been in there…read moreto use a free pass and see what the facilities are like. The staff at reception really are very nice and were very helpful being able to answer all my many queries! My favourite part of this gym was the pool, it wasn't very big to be honest but it wasn't packed either and it was long enough to do lengths. there is also a sauna which you can use after your swim, every gym should have a sauna. I had a go of most of the gym equipment too and i suppose its just like any other gym in that respect. The dressing rooms were clean and provided lockers for gym goers. My favourite bit of the dressing room is a small little room off the dressing room that has large mirrors and hairdryers, its like a room dedicated to drying your hair and doing your make up! perfect! you don't want to be going out into the world with a big red face after the gym!

Would not recommend. Whatever gender you are be aware that the hotel allows children of the…read moreopposite sex to enter the changing rooms. If you are a 40 year old man, some father might bring his 7 year old daughter into the MALE CHANGING AREA and she will check out your junk. 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

The Crunch fitness club is the best around Dublin 15. I discover this place about 7 years ago and I…read morestill like it. The main thing for me was to find a decent swimming pool in Dublin; finally I came to the Westmanstown to find out a new place, with a great gym and a nice pool, tennis courts, and car park. The place is clean, it has the gym with a 200 metres track, equipment to do weights, basketball, badminton, and many other activities pitch. Swimming lessons, aqua aerobics and so on. This place will be definitely the best of what you could get in Dublin 15 (even with the NAC being in the area). The Sports are not well supported in this country, and it is a pity that all people see is the money aspect of the disciplines. There should be more support from the government to create better athletes and a healthier society. The prices to join the Crunch are the same as anywhere else if you compare here you will get value for your money, you might get cheaper places but you will end up paying more because the place is not clean or the service is bad as well as the facilities you will get won't be the same. Nothing will be perfect all the time, of course something will go wrong someday, like water being cold or a power cut, but every time something happened I was well looked after. A family place for excellence, here kids are aloud and there is activities for them as well, the time is restricted which is ok. I really recommend it if you have children, go there and have a look, the staff will show you around all the facilities. I hope you will like it and get fit, remember..."Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body" .
