Heard one of the personal trainers in one of the other gyms say he saw a couple of vans loading a ton of fitness equipment into one of the industrial units in the town . Hopefully this isnt BS a decent gym is long overdue in this town !

There are three that i know of in Mullingar:

Flex Gym in the industrial estate.
The park hotel.
Bloomfield hotel.

Yup the rumours are true gym going in in the industrial estate . The biggest fitness centre in West meath if the sign outside is to be believed. It was only a matter of time Mullingar was crying out for a decent gym .

wow, first post, promoting a new gym...

a proper gym in the actual town would get business if you ask me - before work, lunchtime workouts

One word PARKING! its a disaster in the town evennif you just want to pop into the bank . A gym in the town would fail miserably with nowhere to park .

Definitely agree! Its closer to town than bloomfield and park. My membership to Park Hotel is up in October so I might just check this place out

Your in the same boat as me . Soon as this place opens up Im cancelling my park hotel membership. 600euros! If this place is anything like the navan branch they have it will be very well equipped and quite cheap membership too .

Yeah I agree a fully equipped gym will obviously get business that's stating the obvious:rolleyes:...but more so on the outskirts of a town ( due to parking and people like privacy) there's business in fitness classes too coz they are personal, get results and your guided through every move your not just a number!!! There's lots of workout times available with classes and often you can book in whenever suits you for a group or personal class........

In most gyms all classes are free all week long . And for a fraction of the price youd pay for individual classes.

I like the sound of that! Yeah I do think the Park Hotel and Bloomfield are a bit overpriced, especially compared to the prices of gyms up in Dublin. My friend from work nearly fell off her seat when I said how much the membership was. Perhaps they'll be forced to drop their prices when these guys open if they are as good and reasonable like the Navan branch.

more people pay for 'pay as you go classes' in other gyms than would ever buy memberships

kettbell
TRX
spinning
aerobics

a gym where teams (GAA, soccer etc) could come in a do a session together would get business if you ask me.

they pay for classes when they are able to go.
not for a gym that they won't use everyday.
makes sense to me.

Totally agree. I joined gym with hopes of doing the free classes but after I joined I realised I had very little classes to choose from. I don't get home from work until 7.30approx so there were only 4 classes I could do which of all of them I only liked one, the spinning.

I'd pay for individual classes that I liked if I could make them no problem. For example I did Zumba in Park once and personally for me, i found the class I would normally pay for in town on the same night was a much better class so I never did the Zumba at the gym again. But that was personal thing, as girl was doing the class to suit the people there and had warned me it wasnt going to be like the other class when I told her I had been to Zumba in town.

Totally agree with u .. in this day and age a lot of people cant afford to fork out gym membership in a lump sum and are unsure of their job security, pay as you go is ideal.. also for teams in winter where they can come as they please while continuing their training and team bonding!

mandz · 19-08-2013 11:45am

Has anyone heard any whisperings of when in September they are opening?

mandz · 11-09-2013 2:04pm

Think this gym has opened/is opening soon. Drove by for a nose last night and they had balloons outside and a sign saying entrance on a window.

carolanne2006 · 15-09-2013 10:32am

Yep its open called in yesterday for a look around its amazing HUGE and they have some amount of equipment I'm definitely going to join!!! only € 279 for the year!!

mandz · 16-09-2013 11:13am

Gonna pop in for a nose this week hopefully. Membership up at Park this month and €279 for the year is a bargain! As much as I love having the option of the pool I have to let my bank account do the talking.

Are they doing the whole group discount for groups of people who join together like they do in Navan?

dor843088 · 22-09-2013 10:02pm

Was excited to see this place opening but now im not so sure . Staff seem to be far more interested in telling you what you cant and must not do than anything else and quote the rules like its their national pastime. It seems in an attempt to make it a good environment for everyone they have achieved quite the opposite and let a few idiots ruin it for everyone before the idiots have even signed up.

roadrunner31 · 24-09-2013 10:16am

Has anyone joined the new gym in Miullingar or what ye think of it?

mullingar getting a new gym ????
