    See Groupon have a deal offering 10 day passes to use Aura gyms Drogheda/Dundalk for €19. Looks like have to use the 10 passes within 28 days of first visit and passes expire at the end of May.

    Might come in useful for anyone, like myself, hoping to shape up for summer.

    Doesn't really strike me as great value. Most gyms usually give these away, don't they? To try to entice people in?

    Well one trip, if you're not a member is 8.50 (last i checked) and this is getting you 10 passes for not much over 2 times that. Seems like a great deal for someone who isn't a member.

    Perhaps great value for that particular gym, but certainly not great value as a whole. Is it just me or are Aura oblivious to the recession?

    I've been a member there a while now and every year the price seems to be going upward. As does the one-time visit costs (for non members).

    When this membership expires with them I'll be going elsewhere (if I bother going anywhere at all. I can't seem to get into the habit of going to the gym at all these days :( )

    Think that Aura have got a bit of a captive market at the moment, since there's very little alternative!

    anybody in the dundalk area that joins aura is stone mad in my opinion. The prices are high and the gym is absolutely brutal.

    If you want a good gym you have jjb and felda. both considerably cheaper and both have swimming pools.

    The mind boggles.
