I dont use the place as I get free gym in uni but looking at their website it seems like a good place and I figured €210 sounds like a bargain as my sister pays nearly €900 a year in Westwood. Beat that Ben:D

current members can extend their membership for an additional €210. e.g. if membership expires in march '09 then €210 extends it out to march '10

Not really a bargain. WestPOINT which is owned by Ben Dunne and beside the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre is around the same and a much much better gym although it can get pretty busy.

But I'm sure that's the same with any gym where the price is so good.

I would go Westpoint over Coolmine any day.

100kilos is 100kilos weight where ever you go(on this planet anyhow).
according to this thread there is a whopping 26% €65 difference in favour of Coolmine

also, Westpoint isn't half as convenient for most people in blanch, coolmine clonsilla or hartstown as traffic around the shopping centre is very bad.

Coolmine is not a pretty gym and there is no talent on parade but if you want to keep fit you won't get distracted there.

I'm pretty sure right now it's €245 @ Westpont and cheaper if 2 / 3 join together.

I agree with your point on a gym being a gym but I think Westpoint is better (even more so than Total Fitness in Castleknock which charge a lot more than Coolmine and Westpoint combined even)

I know I wouldn't go to westpoint becuase it isn't convenient to me even though both are equi-distant from me. If a Gym is not easy to get to you simply won't go to it and for most people in the areas I mentioned Coolmine is easier to get to.

I had a quick look at the site just now, pretty confusing with different levels of membership mentioned on the likes of the pool page, & also seems to me on first look that you get charged to use the pool as a member? Is that right? Doesnt look as good a bargain as it did on first look.
