Local GAA gym

    My local GAA club has a gym open to members of the public (or at least the website doesn't say it's not, and they have signs up around the village selling it) which charges for 6 months what my current gym is charging for less than 2. The equipment looks pretty good, although limited, as are the hours. I just need somewhere to go when it's dark and cold (so from Aug-Mar basically), but any non GAA heads going their local GAA gym? What to expect from the clientele?

    I guess I lose very little by trying it for 6 months, really, just wanted to see if there were any horror stories about, I don't know... people talking about hurling in the showers :eek::pac:

    yeah, cause people who are members of GAA clubs are so different to the rest of the population..

    hold on, they are the biggest sports organisation in the country
    they must be doing something right

    never heard of a GAA club with a gym but considering how many GAA heads go to the gyms I've used I'd say you have encountered a few in your time

    Very true. I guess when the gym is connected directly to the club, it's going to be a case of "everybody except me is in the club" and take on a different culture to a regular gym.

    I signed up for the gym that was in one of rival clubs clubhouses. 80% of the time I went there, usually between 5-9pm, it was empty except a few auld wans running on the treadmills.
