    I am currently a member of the Mullingar Park gym but my membership renewal is next month. I was considering changing to the Bloomfield gym as if I remember correctly I think it was less expensive to the Mullingar Park. Can anyone tell me if the Bloomfield gym is better than Mullingar Park gym?

    Why not try Flex gym in clonmore industrial estate. More a proper gym than a leisure center. It might not be what you're looking for but it is another option that you might not be aware of.

    Flex gym is a good option. I went to have a look there recently and it's a nice place. They have all the usual weights machine as well as free weights and a good choice of cardio machines as well.

    They also offer different pay scales depending on wether you wanted to do a three month, six month or twelve month contract. And no peak or off peak. I was offered a free trial to see if I liked it which I thought was very good.

    Well worth checking out if you are looking for a serious gym as opposed to a health spa.

    might go down and have a look myself. I never use the pool in the Park hotel.

    Is Flex not open on a Sunday or Bank Holiday? I love going to the gym on a sunday morning when they are deserted

    went in to have a look - not too bad.

    a lot of big fellas standing round the weights... as per most gyms i suppose

    might give the free trial a go.

    Just heard from my friend that Bloomfield gym have dropped their membership fee to €495 (I think it was €635 when I last enquired). She phoned the Park Hotel (as her membership is up for renewal) and asked will they be doing the same to which she was told that they weren't budging on their membership fee. So if you're a member of the Park Hotel gym and your membership is up for renewal you'll save €165 by switching to Bloomfield!! But maybe if enough people query this perhaps they'll drop their price too!! :D

    The Park Hotel gym appears to have forgotten about the economic downturn :confused:

    its easy money for them, why would they drop it? a lot of people just keep the direct debit going

    gyms are expensive in mullingar. and badly equipped
