Gym Recommendations

danielktdoran

Hi!

I am looking for a gym but I have some requirements and I was hoping one of you fine people could suggest one or more.

1.) Anywhere in Dublin
2.) Open 24 hours with all amenities avaible 24 hours a day
3.) Customer dedicated free parking, not street parking
4.) Sauna
5.) Hot tub/Jaccuzi
6.) Lounge with comfortable seating

Less important

1.) Free towels for use
2.) Free classes
3.) WiFi
4.) Treadmills with TVs

THANKS!

Grateful Dread

Good luck with that.

Do you need all of the first 6 elements?

Because the 24 hour thing rules out most places. Also, Flyefit, who are open 24 hours do not have 24-hour access to the changing rooms and I'm guessing the same is true of ASnytime Fitness in Dun Laoghaire because it's not staffed around the clock.

Neither have sauna or Jacuzzi facilities. Or a lounge (afaik).

Dedicated parking isn't an option in a lot of the Flyefit gyms either.

What are the main criteria you need? You'll need to reconsider what is actually important because if it's 24-hour-access, then you will need to be ok with not having a lot of the others.

Yes, top six are essential.

Thanks for your reply, helps me rule places out.

I'm in Westpark Tallaght for last eight years. This is just my personal take on how it would match your list!!!

1.) Anywhere in Dublin - YES
2.) Open 24 hours with all amenities avaible 24 hours a day - NO but pretty extensive hours
3.) Customer dedicated free parking, not street parking - YES
4.) Sauna - YES
5.) Hot tub/Jaccuzi - YES
6.) Lounge with comfortable seating - YES and cafe

Less important

1.) Free towels for use - NO
2.) Free classes - YES
3.) WiFi - YES
4.) Treadmills with TVs - Treadmills but no connected TV

I think you will find it difficult to find a gym with all elements and as Alf said above you will need to rate your preferences.

Seems like this place would be ideal if they were open 24 hours, shame that. Thanks for the reply.

This is exactly it.

If the top 6 are essential, you're bang out of luck.

Like others have said, 24 hour gyms in Dublin tend to be more bare bones. Ones with jacuizzis and private parking and other luxury items tend to open only at certain times to keep costs spiraling.

you are out of luck in my experience unless you are taking the piss.
You'd be hard pushed to find a hotel with all that 24h for a paying guest.
