I'll get a link up when I'm on a computer dude. Odin are doing the equipment so if you look around Facebook you should find it. It's in a massive warehouse in Raheen.

I know where this (right behind the dry cleaners) - the building has been left idle since being built, its great that they will be getting use from it and hopefully it will stop the vandalism

Is there many gyms in the Raheen area other then the one near the crescent?

Forgot about Evolution tbh. I hope it works out anyway because it looks like it has some great potential for an awesome gym.

Anyone a member of Planet Health up by Childers Road Dunnes? Was in there today to check it out and it looks good far better atmosphere for working out and a lot more equipment then where i currently am.

Just wondering is it busy much? And when would be the busiest times?

CCEF

Does anyone know if Beefit in the city is any good?

It's €20 on a monthly basis and I've heard they have a good amount of freeweights so I'm thinking of giving it a go.

Trifit in town do circuit training.from what I hear you have to have a good level of fitness before going to their circuit training.

I wouldn't join the gym in the strand if your interested in doing classes.they have all been booked up for the last few months.its also been extremely crowded in the strand at peak times over the last couple of months,so much so that I couldn't get to any weights on Tuesday night. I've always recommended the strand and it's defiantly the cleanest and most luxurious gym in limerick, but if you can't access classes or training equipment then it's no longer serving purpose.

It's so frustrating. That for a 'sporting' city the selection of gyms is so poor.westwood please come to limerick!!

Can anyone else row in on this - I have been toying with the idea of joining the Strand for a while, current gym membership is up on the 20th Dec. I am not one for classes but would estimate, on weekdays, i would be in the gym around 5.45pm after work - will it be chock-a-block? i did take a look at it and its quite a small gym anyway but looked good.

I would really appreciate any opinions/views on the matter. thanks!

Some days it can be full and some days you could be the only one at that time, its pretty unpredictable. I'd say go for it.

I am there currently and cant wait to get out..

The music is so low and ****e, the bars are so old all the grip is gone, there is one bar too little for all the benches. The DB only go to 38kg in pairs, there is a 42 and 50kg but only one of each

It would be a fine gym if you dont use free weights, if your training is mostly based around that then find somewhere else.

I think the training atmosphere in there is negligible.

The only pay and go ones i know of are Grove Island and U.L - U.L has a lot of weights but i have never been to the Grove so i cant comment on there.

UL is like 7 euro a go, thats will be expensive if you plan on using the gym regularly.

RidleyRider

What about the place in town, kings I think? Isn't that just a few euro a pop?

dont blame you moving from the Maldron, Im moving myself, the gym is terrible, most of the machines not working and the gym manageress is unapproachable, a real attitude problem, I see people are even complaining on their facebook page

Wow do you have a link? i didnt even know they had a facebook page....and yes she is hugely unapproachable. I even was chatting to another member yesterday who told me about how the manager dealt with an incident in the gym - it really didnt seem appropriate.

I just saw them - thanks! i agree with all posted there. Even the broken cross trainer left lying in the gym says it all really...

TheBeast17

No activity on the facebook page since the 28th of december. I was hoping to join at the start but really I can't be without a gym for much longer. An update on the page would go a long way. Does anyone know if/when they are opening?

Mail the page.

I am not on Facebook so I can't mail the page, actually this is the first time ever that being on Facebook has actually inconvenienced me.

Thought it would be open by now.

Got sad news via email yesterday evening. Beefit in City Centre is closing. All members have the choice of moving to their other gym. Anyone know if good?
Some great staff in the City Centre gym.
