Markievicz Leisure Centre

It's a very odd gym. There are no barbells!!! Seriously, I couldn't get over that. Obviously, no squat rack or power rack either. Plenty of machines, including assisted dip and leg press, and lots of dumbbells too. I suppose you could do dumbbell deadlifts and squats, but it does leave a big gap

have been a member there for years when the gym was just one small room. They have practically rebuilt the whole place over the last two years. There is a new separate room for Pilates, Yoga etc and another room for spinning classes. I don't think they use the big hall for Pilates now - it's a multi sport hall for Basketball, table tennis, Badminton, indoor soccer. Roller Hockey!!!!etc.... I live locally so it suits me. The "all in" package is probably the same as most other gyms. I don't know how much the classes (Pilates etc. ) cost per class as I don't do them - I just use the gym at the moment.

That's not he case anymore. I'm not sure where they're getting the money from and I don't care. The place is easily 200% better than last year and there's lots of new quipment. It's as good as any gym now and you can still do the pay as you go thing which is great. Niall

I did the "pay as you go" thing a couple of times a little over a year ago. It's got a nice pool, but that's about it, the rest sucks, not much variety in the machines, and not that many of them. You can always just go check it out for yourself if they still do the pay as you go, I think it was around 7 euro.
