What about the high performance gym in Morton Stadium in Santry. Only ever heard great things about it.

VERY limited from a bodybuilding perspective tbh

Ive only been to one of the gyms, DCU, and I wouldnt think much of it myself unless you have access to the High Performance Gym which isnt easy to get really.

Why not call into them yourself and see which you prefer??

CWF

The Regent Hotel in Whitehall has a decent gym. Have a look you know what you want yourself. Good value too.

Try the Ben Dunne gym in santry.my mother is there and it's cheap and never to full. But wait till mid February and it's far cheaper than now with all the new years resolutions that people have. As it pushes up the price of membership so much.

The regency apparently is always full and sportslink is supposed to be so pricey. Unless you join as a family

Is it? I've never been but from the pictures I've seen it looked very impressive with the best of equipment and relatively cheap.

It's quite small and the platforms take up half the space. There's dumbells but only one of each and two benches. If you don't need bumper plates and platforms there are a lot of other options better suited imo.

DCU changed things around recently and have a squat rack now so it could be suitable.

Every gym gets packed though. In that area I think it's the best equipped.

Also Animal Barbell in Blanch might suit. Don't know much about it but it looks good.

I think Ballymun is ****ing whopper, if it weren't for some of the dickheads who use it, it'd be my ideal gym!

i agree with ya..everytime i went up there was always dickheads in the gym area.pushing ya out of the way and taking over the whole gym...
