JJB Gym

Does anyone have experience of JJB gym on Childers Road?

I have to take up swimming for health reasons and had planned on going to the ul arena twice a week. Anyway went there this evening and it was just so packed it was uncomfortable. It was €7 for the swim which for twice a week would be €56 a month whereas I could join JJB for €45 a month and have all the classes included as well.

Can anyone recommend JJB?

JJb is ok at off peak times like during the day, any time after 6 or 7 forget it , plus its full of posers, at least the UL pool is big enough that you're never cramped unless theres a class on

i stopped swimming in ul for the same reason....i use the pool in the quality hotel in roxbrough(spelling) now when i fancy a swim its a 25m i think..sauna/steamroom/jacuzzi/changing facilities all good...just under 150 for 3 months..and its nice and quite there...underground car park too...handy for the irish climate..gym there isnt too bad either

ah ya get posers in every gym though...UL have come up with a great way of controlling them....they have moved all the mirrors along one wall...they all gather over there now keeps them out of the way

if its swimming you are after then stay away from JJB imo, take a read of this http://www.teamtestforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=47755#47755. Grove island would be a good option.

go to jjb a good bit, 12-2pm is usually not too bad in there, weekends are usually fairly quiet too. You do get the odd grunting polish / limerick weight lifters in there but most of the time you wont find them anywhere near the pool.

I find St endas very good, its very reasonable and on the weekends its virtually empty!:)
