    Ideally looking for a Gym based out of a full service Leisure Club in the Cork City region which would also include the use of a Jacuzzi, a Steam Room, a Sauna etc; as it is nice to be able chill out and relax after a sweaty work-out in the gym. The Montenotte Hotel Leisure Club in Cork used to have great deals on Gym memberships until last Spring but now following the recent hotel renovations they have increased their Gym Membership Rates even for their existing/outgoing members by as much as 50% (and the 50% rate increase is a special Discount). Members used to be able to Pay €399 for One Year, Get One Year Free = 2 Year Membership so long as you pre-paid the full €399 amount in one single payment which effectively worked out at only €199.50 Per Year over the 24 Months which was excellent value for money. Now the Best Discount Rate is €299 Per Year (which would amount to €798 over 24 Months) which is a huge difference from one contract to the next.

    So far all I could come across was River's Edge Fitness Centre off Sullivan's Quay in Cork City Centre which is currently running a Summer Special Promotional Rate of €195 for Annual Membership but while this price is good - they have No Sauna, No Steam Room, No Jacuzzi etc; which is something I would also like access to if I was to become a member.

    Does anyone know of another full service Leisure Club that has Gym and also Steam Room, Sauna, Jacuzzi etc; that offers attractive long term membership deals across 12/24/36 month periods?

    We could do with having more competition in the Leisure Club Gym sector here in Cork as prices seem to be rising above wages & inflation rates. I would love to see an operator like Ben Dunne Gyms either open a new facility or acquire an existing facility as they have a more competitive price-point. http://www.bendunnegyms.com/carlisle.aspx I understand that Ben Dunne Gyms has a plan for 12 Month €525 membership rate intended for 3 people which works out at Only €175 for each of the 3 members Per Year which is outstanding value for the full range of facilities on offer.

    Do any Leisure Centres in Cork have similar attractive membership discount options?

    Wrong forum (get it moved to Cork or Bargain Alerts) but NRG in the River Lee Hotel on Western Road (and Little Island I think) does very good deals.

    Not really interested in commuting to Little Island as that is not Cork City
    Can you be more specific or elaborate further on the"very good deals" at NRG at the River Lee Hotel? What rates are we talking about there?

    You're welcome. :D

    Google it? Fine if you don't want to go to Little Island, I also mentioned Western Road (so no need to say it :confused:). Little Island is pretty much Cork city btw. About ten minutes' drive from Mayfield on the dual carriageway.

    Strange forum to post it in. I'll get it moved from this totally incorrect forum for ya.
