Hi,

Just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this gym?

If you do what are the facilities like, only interested in the gym? Is there a free weights section etc...

Yes there's a free weights section. Staff tended to sit there passively, I'd run it differently.

You're subscription would cover a pool and sauna as well even if you don't intend to use them. Meaning it's priced in.

It was never too busy, only ever had to wait a couple of minutes for a particular piece of equipment even at the most busy times.

You should look for the 180 euro for six months option if interested.

I used it at first for the machines, but when I progressed onto the free weights I just bought my own for home.

Thanks,

I did not expect it to be a fully stocked bodybuilding gym but I am living close by and it would be very handy for me, I might pop in and take a look someday.

I am mainly just looking for somewhere with a good free weights section in the city centre. Anyone has any alternative suggestions please let me know.


Thanks

My advice would be to ask for a trial session or just pay the 7 odd euro for one go. Good luck.
