Email recieved this morning

"Gym will open in about 2 weeks,it will no swiming pool its more guys gym ,lots of free wheighs ,machines...
Wo gona do special offer so 1 year membership gona be 199e "

Cant go wrong for 199 a year in fairness

PauloConn

199 is very good. Might have to give the place a look. My membership is up at end of October from Raw.... I'd still hate to leave there though, really enjoy training there.
But 199......

sleepingghost

These guy seem to have a new offer - €150 if you sign up before the end of October.

The offer is available on the website here and in the shop in Rathmines.

http://www.supplementsdublin.ie/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=755&category_id=62&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

I'm a bit worried about handing over cash before the gym even opens. My business nose is telling me these guy are having trouble raising cash to open the gym, and are therefore looking for a few early members to help finance the opening. The opening has been delayed for month now with not much movement. I'm not quite sure if its worth the risk, or if the Gym will even be around in 12 months.

It's definitely a great offer though. Has anyone else signed up yet?

Id be interested in joining too, but they seem to keep putting off the opening date for a bit, so either they are really poor at management or they having cash problems. I wouldn't be handing anything over till they open up (even then I would be paying on credit card as your protected), if its half decent I cant see them not making money and staying open.

Agree with both posts. I have contacted them via email with no return even though they seemed to have replied to other people.

A very good and sensible maths teacher told me once, If something seems to good to be true it usually is.

I wouldnt say its too good to be true Ben Dunne has a few GYM's which charge 199. I hope it does work out, but the need to get the finger out a open when they say and respond to customers

I don't think you could compare Ben Dunne and his chain of gyms with what seems like a person who owns a supplement store opening their own independent gym.

I hope it works out too. Exactly, this is another reason why I would be cautious.

BrahJamie

Id love them to just put up a few photos or something.

ciamcon

There is definitely something going on here, the guy who responded to the thread on behalf of the gym deleted his post. There was nothing bad in it just the dates of opening and the price, this all seems to have gone pear shaped but I am hoping they get their act together and open up shop

Clanket

I think it was removed by a mod rather than him deleting it.

Mr Simpson

It was deleted and he was banned. Signing up to promote your business is a major no-no on Boards.

Clanket

In fairness though, did he not only post in a thread that was already talking about his buiness?

Unless he was spamming other boards, I don't see what the problem was.

Mr Simpson

Them be the rules I'm afraid. If people want to talk about their business they must get a verified representative account. I'm not discussing this further, so back on topic please.

PauloConn

If anyone hears anything on opening dates, stick a post up. Not getting emails back but like people are saying, not going to fork over money for something that isn't there.

ciamcon

he has the website up and running now
yourfitnessgym.ie

Danye

Has anybody passed or been near the proposed new gym? Is there any sign of work ongoing or anything?

Underpaid Mike

Website has little if any information and no photos of the gym etc
Looks like it was a 2 min job to highlight the new price
Great value but id prefer to pay the extra 50 when i see the place actually open, too big a risk nothing ever opens there at this stage

its in a warehouse at the back of the black apple cafe, there are no windows on the road so you cant see in. There is no sign outside either. They aren't doing the best job promoting the place.

Clanket

He came on here and posted some info earlier but they've been deleted again.

Says the delay is because they are waiting for equipment from China and Russia. Says it should be open before the end of the month.

If I did decide to purchase membership, is there a chance I could get money back if it didn't open.

Galadriel

They replied to an email I sent awhile ago saying it should be open next week, it's €150 for the year and includes classes. They have 3 large sets of free weights, other weight machines, cardio machines, treadmills, boxing bags, 1000sq feet of free space, showers, changing rooms and lockers, plus rooms for classes.

I will wait until it opens so I can take a look before paying up.

Agreed, for the sake of 50 quid, i'd prefer to have piece of mind

Dubdude

Does anyone know if there will be parking from what I can see at the moment there is just a few spaces to the front of the building.
