    Hi All,

    Need some help in trying to track down all the gyms in my area as am looking in to joining back up after about 2 years of not going.
    Based in Cabinteely, south Dublin. Don't want to travel too far but can drive.
    Will go and have a look around and price them but want to see if I am missing any obvious ones.

    Ones I can think of now to go check out.

    Rochestown Lodge - was member there before, liked it but want to see what else around
    Leopardstown
    Killiney Castle Hotel
    Cruch Dun laoghaire
    Royal Marine Dun laoghaire - had a look round here before, pokey but quiet
    Loughlinstown Leisure centre - no pool :(
    Southern Cross Bray (only as its straight down N11)


    Any I'm missing out on?
    Would mainly be going after work, finish at 4pm most days so should beat the rush.
    Outside this I climb and hike but find it hard to get the motivation to do much else, and I liked the gym so seems a sensible option (and work will partially cover cost of it).

    With Killiney castle there are kids swim classes run most weekday afternoons so there would be no pool access till around 6:30pm and then adult only after 7:30pm (adult only after 6pm on weekends evenings)

    Total Fitness, Sandyford -has a pool and is very spacious. I've been a member there for 2 years and quite like it, apart from the odd broken thing.

    They have good joining deals on their website ....

    AKA bluepool, which is also pay as you go if you want to check it out.

    Also you have chinup bars, dip bars etc in cabinteely park. And the crossfit gyms in sandyford.

    And checkout the playground BEFORE it gets nice, i.e. it is getting bright earlier now and those pesky kids will be there till all hours. Haven't ever had a go in the playground there.

    I was hoping to find some concrete block or metal weight that I could leave in the park near the dip station to do weighted work.
