    Two of us want membership, we live near finglas so there is the gym with the pool there and for 2 people it's 240 euro each for the year. Quite reasonable, now I haven't been there to see what it is like or anything, and I must check do they have a location in town.

    Just would like your thoughts on what ones there are in town and how you rate them along with the cost? Pool is essential, thanks!

    The pool is quite good in the Markievicz - I've never actually used it though, only the gym. I've heard it can be quite busy in the mornings before 9ish, and it's been fairly jammed when I was in there on a Saturday afternoon. Gym is good, but the weights room is quite small/narrow, so if you want to go at the busy times you'll probably be waiting to use stuff.

    You can pay as you go with it as well - so if you just want to check it out I think it's 8 quid or so for gym and pool access, and around the 6 quid mark for just pool or just gym.

    Off the top of my head, Sportsco in Ringsend has a pool - nice big one too, lots and lots of cardio machines, and a smaller weights area. I used to be a member and never had to wait for a cardio machine, but there's only one power rack, and a smith machine, so you can be waiting on these.

    I think Crunch fitness off Aston Quay has a pool too - although a mate of mine checked it out and thought it was a bit small.
