Is anyone here a member of Liffey Valley Fitness? If so would you recommend it?

This in the liffey valley shopping centre?

No its not actually in Liffey Valley centre. Its on Coldcut road near the entrance to Liffey Valley Centre (near B&Q). It was built about 18 months ago, looks class from the outside.

I was a member there, it was fairly busy after work, nice pool but some of the staff are a bit standoffish. Its pricey compared to carlisle down in kimmage IMO

Never heard of the place but it sounds like it's a big place like the Total Fitness's etc? How pricey was it? It's not a bad location so should do well if they advertised it more. :-)

€500 a year isn't bad at all, I'm paying €600. I can't seem to find any details online for the Liffey Valley place. The main problem I have with my current gym is opening hours and location. It's right beside work, which is super handy, but if I'm work early, and want to go before work, I can't as it's not open early enough. Also, if I fancy going home first, then going back to the gym, I've to factor in an hour's travelling time, which means I end up having dinner really late (after the gym) or really early (lunchtime or well before the gym). Since the Liffey Valley one is a 5 min drive from me it may suit better.
Anyone know the joining fees/opening hours?

There's also a Sanovitae opening up around the corner from me (beside the new Clarion hotel), which I gather from the info on the one in the IFSC is a bit pricey. Anyone any opinions on that?

The one in the clarion is much more expensive the Liffey valley, it think its nearly €700

dont know about joining fees for the opening hours in liffey valley were 7am to 10pm on weekdays

yeah that place looks damn cool from the outside, and it never looks busy tbh, although obviously it will be outside 9-5.

For anyone thinking of joining Liffey Valley Fitness a point to note is that in 2010 at least 6 cars have been broken in while parked in their car park and their lighting at night is not adequate to see burglars. The owners and management of Liffey Valley Fitness are not interested in investing in lighting in the car park in this is a targetted area. 2 cars in 1 night in November 2010 were broken into and a staff member and Gardai both said it was unlikely to be picked up on the CCTV as there are "blind spots" and it is too dark for their cameras and lighting in car park to see anything. Anyone coming home from work with laptop, phone, gps etc in their car could be a potential victim as was I and another gentleman whos childrens Christmas presents were stolen from the boot of his locked car. This is a serious disadvantage to anyone going to this gym especially on the way home from work with any personal items in their car. The small sign in the corner of the carpark seems to cover the management of the gym so GYM MEMBERS AND POTENTIAL GMY JOINERS BEWARE............ although I have 6 months paid membership to go Ive joined Ben Dunne Fitness for 150 eur and their management seem to care about my personal safety.
