Pity there is no Ben Dunne Gym in dun laoghaire!

Hey Jungleboy you obviously get around the city a lot. You were singing the praises of BD Fitness in Lucan a couple of weeks ago. Now you're talking about Dun Laoghaire. Where's next? Carlow???

visited yesterday to Northwood to find out if they have any special offers but it was closed with the message 'closed because of a bad weather condition' so will try again today if i get a chance.

colin32

just rang northwood and its €350 to join with no special deals for groups

marko91

carlisle "deals" is a fcuking joke, do they actualy think people will join no matter the price?...well im not im joining this pay by week gym my uncle goes to...obviously not as good as carlisle but if it has machines,weights etc then i dont care:)**** YOU BEN DUNNE

juju

Anyone joining Ballymun? €299 for year or if you get membership in a 'couple' it's €500 for two. I need the other half of a couple! Any takers?

Carlisle is the same price as Northwood - currently 350 for a single membership with no discounts or group offers. Give it a month and I imagine the prices will drop a bit. January is probably their best time for business so will also be the most expensive.

I've been a member of Northwood since it opened and its suits me fine as I go in the mornings. This year has seen some ridiculous deals - I've seen membership offers for €199. Just before Xmas I saw they had offers of €300 for new members, €250 renewal. Today I got a letter from them asking for €300 for my renewal!

I'm a bit pissed off with it to be fair as my renewal price shouldn't be subject to fluctuations. (by the way I know on the face of it its only a fiver a month but its more the principal that bothers me)

Has anyone contested this with them and won?

No, and there's no point because the staff don't care, and for every one person that leaves, there's five more people willing to waste their money.

Could any one recommend the best gym for me in the city centre.Walking distance from Jervis shopping centre and not to pricey.Tks in advance

Easy Rider

Yeah Northwood sent me a letter for a renewal of 300 Euro, got it for 195 euro for 15 months last year, bit of a random jump....not too bothered as work pay up to 400 euro for any memberiship..but is the fact that the place is so packed these days, perhaps every Gym is like that....

I have been looking at the regency hotels gym on the swords road, anyone know what it is like or costs etc?

colin32

yeah i rang regency and its €395 for 12 months. also tf is €500 but the most expensive one i found was in malahide. the gym at the grand hotel in malahide was €775, obviously no recession up there.

hopefully northwood prices will come down a bit in feb, when everyone has done there exercise after xmas

nialo

Anyone know of a deal for sportsco in ringsend or if trinity gym has gone public yet?

Savage Cabbage

Hey Check this site out www.onoffer.ie they are giving away free membership to Bootcamp and have couple of other gym offers on there too.

Might be more craic than in a gym. I used to go to Total Fitness but gave it up after while cause got bored and unmotivated so gonna give this bootcamp a go. Anyone been there already? Whats it like?

Was in carlisle last night and glanced at the sign (note: i was very tired and didnt pay much attention. these figures might be a little wrong, but they're roughly right):

January:
*New €350
*Renewal €300

February-June:
*New €395
*Renewal €350

This is $hiteballs :eek:
My membership is up this month. I'm not paying €300. Not for Carlisle.

Yeah same in northwood, guess its to put people off waiting until Feb thinking the prices will come down.
€400 is definitely too expensive, they had an offer before christmas of €199!

Your figures are spot-on. I would bank on these prices coming down well before June.

Yeah id hope so man. But still, the whole till june thing seems fairly specific. Grrr. Still though, randomly found a big open green near my house the other day. which is nice. no need for ben dunne anymore...ill be bench pressing the kitchen table

Glyni

Radio Ad now says all 4 of Ben Dunnes Gyms €295 at moment......

Bambaata

thanks Glyni. I refused to renew at 350 after paying a fraction of that for 15 months. I really need it for the pool before work so i may just bite the bullet at 295 otherwise it'll be 7 or 8 quid a go at the local pools

RacoonQueen

Liffey Valley Fitness €300 - full membership for one year €200 - off peak membership for one year.

j4vier

Ye i got a letter from them too looking for €300 for renewal. Expired at the end of Jan. I tore it up, got my bike out and started cycling into college again. Cant afford it.

I don't want to pay that much! I was willing to pay up to 200
Damn!

For what you get, 295 is a complete rip.

Renewal was 250 last year. I thought that was steep!! Now its up to 300 bills.

@pikachucheeks.. I'd wait it out, see if it drops again. Just my opinion, but it really isn't worth anything over 200. Really.

marko91

anyone in CARLISLE know prices for the tanning beds???

Trinity gym goes public on the 8th of march.. €465 for a years membership..
