Moving to Limerick permanently at the end of this week, Yay! I'm going to be living the Dooradoyle side of the city. Anyone any experience of Dooradoyle leisure club? I'm looking for a place with swimming pool,sauna etc, and that does classes such as spinning as well. Anyone have any reccomendations?

the altitude centre is hypoxic training taking oxygen outa the room - not as effective for the gen pop as you would be led to believe. Complete different story if you live at altitude and train at sea level.

What i will say for limerick is that for a small city, there's not much shortage of facilities between Beefit, UL, JJB, all the leisure centres and fitness class studios in the city and thomond side of the city. Something for everyone i think.

Can someone give a review of this gym? Is it busy in the evenings? Is there enough space etc? Looks small from outside? Is pool crowded?

Anyone here a member of the Greenhills gym? I'm looking for a gym with swimming pool and am on the Ennis road so it would be pretty convenient. They don't seem to have a great range of classes though. Any body have any feedback?

I've heard its OK, but its ridiculously expensive and not worth the money

sav1980

They have a special offer on at the moment so they're much the same price as the other gyms. Its either there or the strand as I wont go if i have to travel too far. Was hoping for somewhere with a pool and spinning classes but no such luck at this side of the city!

Opening where MK Fitness and the MMA centre were, MMA is moving to a premises across the way I think. Some walls will be knocked to make it one big setup I think, supposedly bigger than the current setup.

Also, one membership covers both gyms. perfect for me because sometimes I couldnt be arsed trekking to the tipp road.

Yeah extremely handy. Covers both sides of the city so no matter what you're at your probably in reach of one of them.

Greenhills is a nice local gym but not good for classes and not great equipment for the serious gym goer. Pool, Sauna, Steam room is good and the staff are lovely.

I go to the Olympic gym. If your into heavy weights I'm led to believe is one of the best but probably a bit basic in terms of facilities compared to some of the others. Can't say as I have not been to any of the others. But I like it. €15 per week €45 a month.

@45/month this must be the most expensive one in Limerick

Dooradoyle is basic for what you pay to be honest. you have to queue for cross trainers and busy in the evenings. the whole gym and pool could do with an over haul. nothing has changed since it opened and the same staff are there bored out of their heads. in my opinion there are far better and cheaper leisure centres around - they would want to up their game big time.

Where exactly was/is MK Fitness & MMA centre.... Just wondering on facilities etc, as the tipp road is handy for me right now but just thought if the city centre one was closer to work it might work out better!!

Heard a rumour it was closing or being bought out in November. Not sure how much truth there is behind either. Wouldnt be surprised if they closed to be honest. Extremely hard to remain competitive whilst trying to maintain a wet facility
