ya thats it they had a sign up on it saying a new 10,000 SQF GYM is opening soon

irishguy

anyone else know anything about this?

leinster_fan

did you ever find anything out about this?
I've just moved to the area, so a gym here would be ideal. There doesn't seem to be much happening in the building tho...

irishguy

Not really. There seems to be some work going on think it's going into the warehouse at the back of it. It should only take a couple of months to finish it

admiralofthefleet

passed by today, looks like there is a lot of work to be done. it will be big though. harold engineering was a big plant but when it closed the heart of the village died

BrahJamie

The front on Harold's cross road is an empty shell. So I don't see how it could be.

No it's a full gym

Nice brah. Im up in the carlisle and its a serious walk from harolds cross

Its states 10,000 square feet!! Is this true? Raw is only 6,000 sf. I had a look and it doesnt seem that big. Also how can they set this up in 2 or so weeks with no sign of equipment what so ever.

There are a number of warehouses at the back so there would be space alright. Looks like they havent done anything so I dont see how its going to open anytime soon

ciamcon

alright I checked on google maps and saw Harold Engineering's old building (around the back lane) and seems pretty big. I literally live around the corner so I'll have a peak later and see if there is any progress. Would love this to be up and running pretty soon and give it a go

BrahJamie

is it the whole harold engineering building?

declan_man

some1 tell us more information... is it as good as RAW?

ciamcon

It looks like the whole Harold engineering building out the back I tried getting a better look but there was painters painting the hallway. But if it is 10,000 sqf then that is almost double the size of Raw which is very promising- there is a sign on the window now with an email yourfitness.ie@gmail.com,( I could be wrong though I'll double check this evening)

Not sure on it being the biggest but I'd imagine it would have to have an impressive free weights area, just to take up some room if nothing else!

I emailed them today in anyway looking for some basic info in regards to weights and that. If they get back to me I'll let you know.

Super news Bob! I sent you an email and got no reply so I was beginning to think this venture was a no go.

good man Bob looking forward to this

Any word on this? Is it open now? Moving to Harold's cross soon.

Email recieved this morning

"Gym will open in about 2 weeks,it will no swiming pool its more guys gym ,lots of free wheighs ,machines...
Wo gona do special offer so 1 year membership gona be 199e "

Cant go wrong for 199 a year in fairness

PauloConn

199 is very good. Might have to give the place a look. My membership is up at end of October from Raw.... I'd still hate to leave there though, really enjoy training there.
But 199......

sleepingghost

These guy seem to have a new offer - €150 if you sign up before the end of October.

The offer is available on the website here and in the shop in Rathmines.

http://www.supplementsdublin.ie/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=755&category_id=62&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

I'm a bit worried about handing over cash before the gym even opens. My business nose is telling me these guy are having trouble raising cash to open the gym, and are therefore looking for a few early members to help finance the opening. The opening has been delayed for month now with not much movement. I'm not quite sure if its worth the risk, or if the Gym will even be around in 12 months.

It's definitely a great offer though. Has anyone else signed up yet?

Id be interested in joining too, but they seem to keep putting off the opening date for a bit, so either they are really poor at management or they having cash problems. I wouldn't be handing anything over till they open up (even then I would be paying on credit card as your protected), if its half decent I cant see them not making money and staying open.

Agree with both posts. I have contacted them via email with no return even though they seemed to have replied to other people.

A very good and sensible maths teacher told me once, If something seems to good to be true it usually is.

I wouldnt say its too good to be true Ben Dunne has a few GYM's which charge 199. I hope it does work out, but the need to get the finger out a open when they say and respond to customers

I don't think you could compare Ben Dunne and his chain of gyms with what seems like a person who owns a supplement store opening their own independent gym.

I hope it works out too. Exactly, this is another reason why I would be cautious.

BrahJamie

Id love them to just put up a few photos or something.

ciamcon

There is definitely something going on here, the guy who responded to the thread on behalf of the gym deleted his post. There was nothing bad in it just the dates of opening and the price, this all seems to have gone pear shaped but I am hoping they get their act together and open up shop

Clanket

I think it was removed by a mod rather than him deleting it.

Mr Simpson

It was deleted and he was banned. Signing up to promote your business is a major no-no on Boards.

Clanket

In fairness though, did he not only post in a thread that was already talking about his buiness?

Unless he was spamming other boards, I don't see what the problem was.

Mr Simpson

Them be the rules I'm afraid. If people want to talk about their business they must get a verified representative account. I'm not discussing this further, so back on topic please.
