Where in Cork needs a good Gym?

Cork PT · 31-07-2014 3:17pm #1

Hello

I am trying to find a premises to put my Gym and Group Fitness Studio in Cork City and surroundings but I'm having a lot of trouble to find a good premises in a location that's not already saturated with other fitness studios. I just thought I would ask to see if anyone is in an area that needs a good gym?

All areas considered! Thank you!

Carrigtohill maybe?
Local GAA club and Fota are the only options that I'm aware of.

Yeah, there's no shortage of facilities in the Mahon / City Centre / Douglas area. that's where i am most familiar with.

You mention you have a gym? So is this a relocation? Bare in mind that you would probably have some of your existing clientele follow you and then obviously, you are looking to expand your footprint

Thanks for that. No my apologies I don't have a Gym yet so I'll be starting from scratch!

I think someone said recently that Bandon doesnt have any? Might be wrong though

Glanmire or Fermoy?

Fermoy is screaming out for a gym,especially since the last on closed over a year ago.

If your looking for someplace closer to the city,Little Island is some place i always considered a potential hot spot.....lots of industries there,between Carrigtohill and Glanmire and just on the outskirts of the city.Plenty of units available too.

There's a place in the Euro Business Park. Couldn't tell you the name because I was just down that way for work recently.

No that place is in fota!

In little island there's an Educogym and Total Body Training, https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=336490159776446&_rdr

I forgot about the Radisson so I guess that's 3!

Total Body Training is the one I saw.

Radisson has a tiny weight room, I mean big enough for only 2 adults to train.As for TBT,opening times are all over the place, plus you pay in advance for 8 weeks training.They don't do monthly memberships.

bandon and macroom are two places I can think of that doesn't have much. kinsale doesn't have much either

Cork PT · 04-08-2014 9:28pm

Thanks so much for all the suggestions

I'm looking at Glanmire and Mayfield at the minute. It will be a group fitness gym to start and hopefully adding on an equipment gym with membership if this works and if I get some $$! Fingers crossed! : )

Ringaskiddy.

Place is full of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. All working shift so people coming and going all day. I know that some multinationals have gyms on site, but, I haven't heard of any of the Ringaskiddy plants having a gym.

I know. Sometimes I impress even myself.

Cork PT · 09-08-2014 1:42pm

I can't find any suitable (and not too expensive) units in Ringaskiddy but it is actually a really good idea! I'm looking Northside at the minute and there's a fantastic unit in the Churchfield Exchange Park but I heard it can get stinky up there sometimes from the Skip and Rubbish dump nearby? So frustrating! And I also looked at Fermoy but it looks like there's 2 gyms there? And apparently businesses don't do well in Glamire for some reason or another...

2 gyms in fermoy??!!
The gaa have a tiny one, and that's the only one I know of??
