Anyone a member of this and know if it's a good gym or not?
It's a fantastic gym
There's quite a few members lurking around these parts (*waves at gstack 
) including myself, Hanley, brutusthebarber, spiral (I think?), wasabi and others that I can't think of right at the moment.
The 7pm time limit for heavy lifting on the ground floor is still there. There's two oly platforms (also used for deadlifting and squats), lots of benches, dumbbells that go up to... actually I haven't a notion, but lots probably There's a cardio area upstairs too with treadmills, a rower, steppers and carious machine-y thingy's that I don't tend to go near 
and a punching bag. On the middle floor there's a wrestling mat and carious machines and benches.
The people there are a fantastic bunch, there's powerlifters, weightlifters, and bodybuilders, lots of top class national and international competitors and plenty of people who just like to lift. It's €30 to join and €85 per quarter which is pretty damn savage as well.
Did you have any particular questions about the gym?0 -

.......The dumbbells go up to 75kg, and the cardio room actually has 5 treadmills , an incline trainer (savage piece of kit , a treadmill that goes to 30degrees) , 4 crosstrainers 4 or 5 bikes , a stepper a rower a punch bag loads of ab benches and a vibration machine.I have never been to hercs but heard loads of great things about the place but im just curious why your not allowed train downstairs after 7....
Legal row with neighbor over noise, part of the work done last year was soundproofing the walls an adding rubber floor and putting in an Acoustic vibration proof lifting platform (€40,000), it all done now so the committee are going back to court at present to get the noise injunction lifted, should be sorted within the year.... fingers crossed.0 -

Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 - 7 tends to be really busy downstairs, those are the days you're most likely to find the platforms jammed coz there'll be weightlifters and deadlifters sharing space. I couldn't tell you about the rest of the gym because you'll only ever find me on the platforms
But by and large everyone will be more than happy to work in with each other.
If there are competitions coming up and some folk are getting into serious training territory then they'd probably prefer to just do their thing and get on with it, but you'll know when that's happening and everyone respects a competitor's need for focus.0 -
