    Been said plenty of times in this forum altho appreciate search function is down. You're much much better off paying for a real gym.

    You don't put the time in within conjunction with a good diet (assuming your goal is weightloss and general fitness) then you get nothing in return regardless of what the marketing tries to tell you.

    You want a return on your money then I believe you'll really want around 4ish hours gym time a week to start seeing a change.

    Not familiar with gyms in walking distance of Drummer to be honest.
    Have you tried some of the hotels around? They might have small gyms/pools? Or maybe there is one in St Pats/Na Fianna that mght be open to the public?

    If you can drive/bus you could reach gyms in Clontarf, Ballymun, Finglas, Northwood or plenty in town.
