    I'm wondering if any of you guys using FF might know the answer to this one.

    I've tried to register online, got through all five pages but then it needs me to register a bank card.

    Usually that wouldn't be a big deal, but I don't carry my bank card 24/7 ~ however I carry my work ID with me (name etc is contained in the megnetic strip), but there's no option to select this.

    I've emailed FF twice regarding the matter but just got an automated email back directing me to the FAQ page ~ zero help.

    I've called into Coolock also, rang the bell and got no assistance there either.

    Anyone have any similar problems?.

    You just need to fill in the bank card number, no other details, right? The magnetic strip just sends that number to the scanner, so you just need to find out what the number on your work id is and enter that, I think.

    It might be printed on it? Otherwise you might need to check with your work security people and see if they can tell you what the card number is.

    I'm going down to Tescos to register with one for one of their cards. I just checked my daughters and it has the required number of digits.

    I was reluctant to use my work ID too as I'm a member of the defense forces.

    I'll see how I get on with the Tescos card and report back in case others experience similar difficulties.

    Ok done and dusted.

    A hint.. If you want a speedy reply from FF use twitter ~ don't bother emailing them.

    If you don't want to use a bankcard (for whatever reason) then any store loyalty cards, Costa Coffee cards etc will work (I used Costa Coffee).

    :)

    You'd think they'd splash out and issue their own cards

    Not cost effective. People leave. People lose them. You have to request and issue them, more admin. All cost money. All means that cheap gym everyone loves becomes less cheap.

    I much prefer being able to register my own card. Wonderful aspect of their self-service approach. And in fairness, Makikomi is a total freak for not carrying a card all the time.

    I'm just a freak :o

    In fairness, I'm on the go all the time and don't always have a wallet with me to carry cards etc ~ I've always got my work ID (I'm in the defense forces) but it doesn't have a 12 digit number on it.

    And now with my Costa Coffee/FlyeFit membership card I'm reminded that there's a Costa Coffee close by the gym ~ happy days :D

    I spoke to a few people in the place who found the registration process a pain, but hey if it keeps the prices down I don't mind it one bit.

    Oh, those turn stiles ain't for big lads!.

    The handy thing with Raw is I have my fingerprints with me at all times.

    Just an update ~ I'm finding the place brilliant, absolutely fantastic and with it being open 24/7 is doesn't really have the very packed peak times which other gyms have.

    My only gripe, and its driving me nuts ~ is the fooking turn stiles and swipe card/swipe in system which rarely works first time (or even sometimes third or fourth time).

    Its very frustrating and doesn't make the gym any easier to use, and that really is my only gripe.

    The stiles are tiny (as I said above) and I've seen some very big people suffer the embarrassment of not fitting through, I really don't think this is good enough.

    Because of the small size of the stiles if I'm coming from Judo I had to use a smaller bag than my Judo club/gym bag simply because I can't fit through the stiles with the larger bag. Its annoying.

    But over all, I really can't fault the place.

    Could a library card be used for gaining access?

    Malahide Road.

    Hey despite my annoyance at the swipe in system its a fantastic gym, I'm loving training there.

    Don't know a whole lot about Swords, my son trains there and I paid it a visit a few times. I think Malahide Road/Coolock is bigger ~ or at least it feels that way.
