    Check any gyms in dublin..try google..as long as they have free weights you can do it yourself,i mean it doesnt hafta be a specialist bodybuilding gym.

    From working in the gyms for years you all need to know that most gyms do not want to promote bodybuilders coming to their gym - they are there frequently, most people will avoid training in that area when they are there (especially women) and they stay in the gym for agggges. Take for example crunch fitness, when it does open it will NOT have any weight above about 24kg and all the rest with be cv machines and weights machines.
    If you are into weights mainly then hercs, iveagh is ok, fitness dock is low on weights again and same policy as crunch (in my opinion) and finally i would not give tony quinn a penny for all the junk supplements he touts (his own of course).

    Bottom line - gyms only want people who go very little or not at all, mainly do cv and light weights and don't frighten the women away (as they go more often than men anyway and represent about 60% of their membership)

    so i guess im up sh.it creek ,does any one know the location of this hercs place cant find it any where on the net

    I think a good gym should contain all the required equipment with enough space and it should have good trainers. A good gym should treat all their customer equally.
