Non-disclosure of prices 'over the phone' in Iveagh gym

I called in person and was told the following by a membership adviser:
€59 per month for Jackie Skelly in Greystones today, special price for St. Patrick's weekend. No mention of a joining fee. Must join for a year.

There was a rather disturbing item on Liveline a few months ago about the procedures followed in Jackie Skelly's for cleaning poo out of the swimming pool. Very off-putting.

It would be a surprise if they did actually clean it!

I joined the ben dunne gym a couple fo weeks ago! It was €345 for the year! U paid in full and no monthly payments!

I'm happy enough with it. Lots of machines, a swimming pool and classes available. the sheer size of it means u can be on any of the cardio machines for whatever amount of time u want and the place is spotless!

Downside- even tho there is a lot of fitness team people they dont seem to be really paying attention to members! My assessment was not really up to par in my opinion but because i had used a gym before i knew what i was doing. Also the amount of classes is minimal!

Its suits my needs and at the right price but better assessments and more classes with yoga or pilates available would really appeal to me!

Total Fitness on Blackglen Road (Sandyford) were exactly the same. I never went in to 'have a look at the facilities' as I've seen many gyms before and the amount of glitter and sparkle in it would do very little for me. I had a budget in mind and if their prices were higher, I wouldn't join. Obviously, they never returned my calls, never disclosed prices either on the website or over the phone so I went elsewhere.

Westwood is doing an offer for current members till the end of the month for, I think, EU295.

My jackie skellys membership is €32 per month. It's different prices for different people, hence the unwillingness to commit to anything over the phone.
