    Does anyone know if the gyms in Waterford have any short term membership rates? I'm not ready to fork out 500 quid in case I don't use it. Any recommendations welcome!

    Maybe try some of the pay as you go ones.. kingfisher (during certain hours) or The Waterford Crystal one

    I second that, I know people who were members there and they had nothing positive to say about the place, quite the opposite and they haven't renewed their membership.

    There was a thread on here last year sometime and going by those reviews wouldn't touch with a barge pole spring to mind.

    Personally I use the waterford crystal one, not the most trendy but it does the job! Rates and times can be seen at www.wcslc.ie

    Odd. Anyone I know who uses it say nothing but good about the place.

    yeah they do 3 & 6 month membership alright... €160 for 3 months... i joined recently and am very happy with it...

    Equipment is not new by any stretch but it is fine and also the pool is nice... the cold water plunge pool was a big selling point to me as i'm a big fan.

    I do like the kingfisher too though and they have a lot more equipment (more volume of the same machines i'd say)

    Can't speak for any other gyms though
