The way things are I dont want to waste an absolute fortune but interested in finding a gym that either has a reasonable (special offer) membership fee or reasonable pay as you go rate in either camden street, rathmines, ranelagh area.
My gf swears by Fitness Dock on Camden St. I don't know the exact details but I think it's just over €300 for the year and they have special offers in the first year that can give you 6 months free if you meet certain targets like weight loss.
As I mentioned in another thread, the gym in the Camden Court Hotel is tiny and the showers and changing rooms are grotty. Needs to be completely renovated.
I noticed during the week that there is a Planning Application in at present for a Gym and Swimming Pool in the Blackpitts part of town. Not there yet but might happen sooner than you think.
