    Just haggle. A lot of gyms are struggling as people decide not to renew their subscriptions now, because of money worries. Don't be pressured into signing anything there and then - if they say their "offer ends today", it's BS.

    Be sure to check out the fitness forum, there is a sticky thread at near the top with gym reviews.

    If you want cheap there is a hell of a lot you can do at home with minimal equipment. This is a personal trainer who posts here.

    haven't been a member for about 5 years now, but I'd guestimate it to be €200-€250 per year now

    they tend to do 3 different prices:

    UCD student
    any other student
    everyone else

    Great, I'll have a look at the Carlisle that sounds really good. I would prefer to pay by the month but that seems really good.

    Thanks a million. In the spirit of giving something back, if you are looking at getting a pair of converse go to www.converse.ie and order a pair on line using the promotion code GSIE20Q309 and you will recieve 20% off with free delvivery. You'll get them for €40 as opposed to €50 which you would pay in most shops.

    The price in Carlisle changes every month. This time of year is the most expensive because of people wanting to get fit as part of their NY resolutions. I think it's €395 or €350 now but if you wait two months it will be €250-€300 at the most.

    OP, if you're under 23, Total Fitness is the one to go for.
