Flyefit IFSC Dublin Opening?

BaRcOe

Hi,

I have heard from several FlyeFit Trainers that there is a gym opening in the CHQ Buidling IFSC. They mentioned it will be in Sept / Oct 2017.

Walking around the CHQ Building I see no space for a gym, nor do I see any construction going on.

Anyone know where / when the gym is opening up in the IFSC area?

If the George's St. location is anything to go by I'd say January 2019 is a better estimate.

This would be deadly if it was happening.

I presume they will be using the vaults downstairs. I'm not sure how much space EPIC takes up.

A trainer in Macken Street branch told me it was opening end of Sept. Then another trainer I was speaking with told me he was moving to the IFSC one later on in the year. So it definetly is happening, according to word in the other gyms. :rolleyes:

Flye and O'Hara's brewery have signed provisional leases last I heard, gym won't open till 2018

I'd imagine basement of CHQ building from the screenshots they've put online and the rumour mill.

Another gym couldn't hurt, in any case!

Saw this. Entered the facebook competition also

This is great News though. I've been to Dundrum, Macken, Georges and Baggot so far. Baggot being the smallest in terms of space.

Hoping its bigger than expected. Also hoping its opening towards the start of November!

Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone has any update on an opening date yet?

they say nov2017

but given flyefit's history of delayed opening...I wouldn't hold my breath on it being earlier than the new year.

I walked past it today (next door to urban brewing). If it’s November I’d say it will be the end of it. It was very much a building site.

LincolnHawk

IFSC definitely needs this. SV fitness is appalling. Haven't tried the gym in the Spencer hotel and Flye Macken street is too far away to squeeze in a lunchtime session

Their treadmills will have Netflix on them. For those hardcore Netflix Goers. Oh and also Spotify.

It'll be great for all those people who "go to the gym" rather than work out.

To be fair, treadmills are boring as hell and you'd burn a lot of calories and cover a good distance watching an episode of Ozark.

I would totally watch Netflix on the xtrainer or treadmill

My old gym had TV’s built in to the treadmills, was great for stopping the boredom.

They are now saying the end of November rather than just November for the opening.

Will probably end up opening in the new year. Personally i can't wait for this location to open as it's right beside my office. I'll stick with George's Street for the moment though as much as it annoys me.

Macken is closer and more spacious than Georges Street! Not a fan?

George's Street is on the way to work for me as I'm coming from D12. When the CHQ place opens its going to take 2 hours off my day

Ah right, I go to Georges sometimes too in the mornings. Its fine in the morning at 7am. Same, going during lunch means I get home nice and early, to do whatever the f*** I want, when I want! With whoever I want! (strong arm emoji here)

You're there when I am so. Only time it's useable.

Beastmode! (Whatever that means..). Flye CHQ will be manic at lunch time I bet. I'd say go before the lunch rush hour, or afterwards from 2pm onwards. If you go at lunch that is.

Also hoping they have a lot of sets of different weights. I presume its going to be brand new machinery and weights, that will be sweet too!

Sign up saying it’s opening on the 17th November. Hope so!

No there isn't , where did you see this mythical sign ? I work beside the gym and had a look in during lunch and this is very much still a building site with no gym equipment even close to going in.

Baxtard in work lied to me! Said he saw a sign there saying that. I'd no reason not to believe him.

Edit: I've contacted to them to see if they can give me an opening date.

Edit 2: They mailed back. Said they expect to be open end of November or first week in December if there are delays, but work in progressing rapidly.

Their website is now saying opening soon rather than the end of November. I presume that means it is delayed.

Good Bad Not Evil

I've signed up for the presale offer. Take the first month now and then again one month after the opening date. Duration of the offer is from the opening date for one year.

Also, I'm taking soon to mean early December.

Post Traumatic stress disorder ??

Its putting me off using the place. I've actually taken a short break until the CHQ location opens because I can't deal with Georges Street anymore.

D3V!L

I walked past this morning and there are cardio machines visible inside on the mezzanine floor so we're getting close.

Northern Monkey

I emailed them yesterday. They hit unforeseen issues with the build out and have been delayed. Latest estimate is mid December.

COH

Shock!

"Unforeseen issues".

after several gym all missing their opening date you would think they had learned some lessons.
I guess project management isn't their strong point.

Or they give an earlier date to generate interest and then cite 'unforeseen issues' for why it doesn't open when they had said.

Or to get some extra funding for equipment from people signing up to the gym early.

Dates have been added to the site:

"FLYEfit CHQ will be opening on Wednesday 20th & Thursday 21st December for 2 FREE open days. We will be open from 11am-7pm. The gym will then close again, and re-open on Tuesday 2nd January 2018. "

SO basically, it'll open on the 2nd of Jan. There isn't a hope I'd use it on a free open day :rolleyes:

Yup. I will probably visit on the open day but only to look around before committing to signing up for it.

The Caveman

I will go have a look today.

Does anybody know exactly where in the building the gym is?

Northern Monkey

I went for a look today. The cardio area is quite spacious 10-12 treadmills on the ground floor and then cross trainers, steppers and a few spin bikes on the mezzanine level. Changing rooms are small, I didn't count them fully but it looked like only 5 or 6 showers in the men's with space for about 15 or so to change.

The vault area is the same shape as downstairs in Ely and urban brewing with a central corridor and separate rooms/sections coming off it on each side. There is a spinning room with 15-20 bikes and then each section is split into zones with free weights and racks, a section with cable machines, another having trx and punch bags and the final 3(I think) being astro and having kettle bells, boxes, etc. The final section had 3 concept 2 rowers, 3 air bikes, 2 or 3 concept 2 skiers and a couple of spin bikes.

The final 3 sections will also be used for classes when they are on.

I'm undecided on joining, think it will be very cramped (in the weights area in particular)once there are 50+ people using it at the same time. Might try it for a month to see how it goes.

Most people using it will be from the offices around IFSC. My office contains 4 Showers. So I presume most people using the gym will be using it during lunch, where they will use the showers in their office. I doubt the local gym goers of Macken Street will bother trekking up to the IFSC. I avoid the gym like a plague during peak times.

Yeah, I'd plan to do the same on the shower front. I'm not sure about macken street though, it's the most popular out of the gym goers in our office. Switching to the ifsc will save 15-20 minutes walking time.

D3V!L

I used it during lunch today and found it quite nice. The changing rooms as mentioned are bloody tiny !! As are the lockers.

Northern Monkey

Just thought of something else. It was really warm in a couple of the sections towards the back of the gym. The lady showing us around said it was just because they were heating the place up as it will be closed for 10 days but I guess time will tell with that.

Also, the Spotify and Netflix needs you to use your own account to use it.

LincolnHawk

Hearing your reviews lads, its safe to say this is the best gym in the ifsc by miles.
I might upgrade to a roaming membership to train there the odd time I'm in the office.
As long as I train at 11 or 2, should be golden
