    There's the blue pool in monkstown, but you'd want a car to get down there.

    Dun laoghaire-rathdown county council operate a few payg gyms so jump onto their website.

    Glenalbyn is probably the closest, but still a drive away.

    The Westwood club is quite close to it, give them a call, not sure if they take non members

    The westwood just came to me. Afaik, it is members only, but they might do short term membership.

    Alternatively, there's always the 40 foot.

    Anything on the green Luas line? The Central Park stop is a 2 min walk from the hotel

    You might even get a trial if you asked right. A year or so ago we had girls come around offices in sandyford handing out free passes for it, I think 2 week passes. I think they came in on 3 occasions.

    Or ask bewleys themselves, they could well have some arrangement with them as its so close. I have been in hotels before that had free access to local gyms.

    There's a shortcut at the end along a bike/footpath which cuts about 5 minutes off but it's still a good 15 minute walk (map).

    Make sure you check the times on the website first though!

    Glenalbyn would be the closest and only one that's walking distance.

    Friarsland would be about 15 mins walk from Windy Arbour Luas stop.

    Meadowbrook is the nicest of the DLR public pools but is a fair walk from Dundrum / Balally.
