What happened to FightingFit on Camden Street? Is their website still maintained?

    Hey, anyone know what happened to FightingFit supplement store, Camden Street?
    I always liked them, one of the last places which still had a stock of old Nutrition X and Universal Nutrition Animal products, it's been boarded up the las few times I've been around the area so I'm assuming it's gone for good? :/

    AFAIK Irish-Lifting is run by the same people, does anyone know if their online store is still active? I know the site is still up but sometimes websites stick around a lot longer than their real life counterparts :D

    I've emailed them and all, just thought I might get a quick answer here since I know they've been popular with people from this board in the past - anyone got any info?

    Any info? Made an order on the Irish-Lifting website yesterday for collection, went up to the warehouse but it was closed, can't get them by phone or email

    Being optimistic for the moment and assuming they're just closed for some summer holidays and will eventually be open again :D

    I am not sure if it is relevant but there was a fire next door. It seems to have been closed (boarded up) since then. Think the fire started in flannerys.

    Talked to Mick this morning, yeah he was just away for a while, back now, open tomorrow at Irish Lifting in Sandyford.
    Apparently the fire damaged the building beyond repair so he has to find a new place :( Real shame, was a fantastic location right in the middle of town (and around the corner from my college ;) ), hope he's able to get back up and running soon

    Is it affordable to them as you say that the new place they chosen is located in the center of town? You said that you are also living there so do you have any idea about land prices as I am looking for a place to start my medicine store.

    No I meant the old location was epic and I hope they get one not too far from it, I don't think they've got a new place yet... Dublin is known to be a b!tch when it comes to high rents but if you're looking to actually buy a place you might get lucky given the current property market etc. Not in any way my area of expertise though so you'd be best to simply ignore everything I've said and ask in the Dublin forum :p

    There's a pretty good supplement shop around 100 metres down from Fighting Fit if you walk down the Georges Street direction to town. It's a little further down from opposite the DIT entrance.

    I found it after arriving to the boarded up fighting fit and walked down Camden/George's Street into town.

    They have a bigger range than fighting fit, prices are good enough too.

    Sound blokes in there too.
