    or

    is it so competitive, that they will lower prices to attract potential new business?

    Our one lowered prices in dec so you might be better off joining now. You might even get a chance of a gym tour / orientation / whatever when there's less crowds

    I can't see the price moving much with Ben Dunne, think about it. They operate on a "sell em cheap and hope they never come" basis. If you go 4 days a week, you pay around 1.50 a session. Thats providing gym equipment, liability insurance, hot water, changing rooms, cleaning, staff and all the other associated cost involved for 1.50. Where else do you get that much for so little?

    They're up a ton since my last renewal. Not sure I'll be living nearby for long and my only option was 4 or 12 months :/

    €550 for two people for the year is a steal

    it was cheaper than that???

    The top up wasn't expensive. The year's membership was just outrageously cheap.

    It's all relative, really.
