Gym in GMIT

Dellboy2007

What's it like? Do they have Olympic Bars and weights or is it all isolation machines? How much is membership? That is all!

Theres a gym in gmit?

Ohhh you mean that tiny little room with next-to-no equipment.

Dellboy2007

So does it have any free weights?

Errrrrrrm I dunno. .

But there is this deal for the academic year, pretty good. .

It appears that offer is to join the gym in The Carlton Hotel (previously Days Hotel). So what's the story with the GMIT gym, anyone know? Went on to the Carlton's website, doesn't say anything about free weights... The 80 euro price tag seems reasonable at first but if the gym haven't got the right equipment then it's a waste of money.

Its a box room with a treadmill! I recon Kingfisher and GMIT should come up with some special GYM membership for GMIT students as what they call a GYM isnt a GYM. ha:D

A gym is for working out in, just because it doesn't have a sauna or swimming pool doesn't mean it's not a gym. It has everything one needs.

No it doesnt. its a few weights and treadmills. i COULDNT CARE FOR SAUNA or pools

It has everything u need.

BUT it is a bit small i will admit when its busy but if its quiet like in the morning its great.

I was in there before and never saw anythign like that, just treadmills and a cycle machine. now that was when i started college. i only do bicep curls with 20 in each arm, and couldnt give flyign crap what type but think that was sarcasticly aimed. (Please not sarcasm is a supressed form of pent up aggression)
