I've heard good things about Sportsco;

It's near enough to Sandymount and would be handy if you're a cyclist. Seems a bit pricey tho, compared to one of Ben Dunne's places.
GYM goers have been left steaming after Ben Dunne ordered the removal of hairdryers from his leisure clubs.But the drastic action was not prompted by a Ryanair-style cost-cutting drive.
Instead, Mr Dunne took the decision after witnessing male customers using the dryers "down around their private parts", he told the Herald.
Fat people don't go to the gym. Do we pay thousands of dollars for membership? Yes, on top of all the other stuff you're supposed to be buying as a certified fat person (diet books, Weight Watchers memberships, and every single thing they advertise on The Biggest Loser no matter how fucking stupid it is). Do we go to the gym? Nope. Because the only thing worse than being fat in our culture is being visible and exercising while being fat (well that's not true, eating lunch while being fat is probably the worst possible thing you could do). So the gym may be awesome for you, but don't act like it's a "solution" to the "obesity problem," because for that to be true, fat people would have to stop being shamed out of public places - and the gym is the lion's den of body-shaming.
This jock had me do jumping-jacks out on the circuit training floor. I objected on account of my 38DDD boobs (another thing that tends to shame me out of exercising in front of people), and he told me I was being lazy. Because here's the thing - gyms don't actually care whether you feel comfortable or welcome. That's why they have the 12 month contract and 19 year old "trainers" who have no idea what health and wellness are. They care about your money, and that's it.

You gonna start instagramming your workouts?I've just been to a gym for first time ever. Was surprisingly enjoyable.
Oh yeah that's totally my style.You gonna start instagramming your workouts?
The repetition and the terrible music; "girl singing a dance version of a classic rock tune" will eventually drive you away
