Testimonials

"I’ve been a member of the DCU Sports Club since the very beginning—since they first came with the bricks! As someone who is blind, I have certain additional needs, but whether it’s been in the gym or the swimming pool, I’ve always been supported in a thoughtful and professional way.

Over the years, I’ve come to truly appreciate the staff and management—not only for their dedication and high standards, but also for their genuine friendliness and interest in every member. The club has become an essential part of my life. I’ve made great friends here, and each week we meet up in our own little breakfast club.

For someone like me, staying fit and healthy is so important, and the impact on both my physical and mental wellbeing has been invaluable. I’m deeply grateful to be part of such a welcoming and inclusive community."

I am a returned member to DCU and the reason for this was I missed the camaraderie in the classes. You arrive to any class and within minutes you are greeted by everyone else taking part including the wonderful instructors. The encouragement of the instructors is absolutely top class and you are made to feel very included in all aspects of the different classes. Equipment is class and varied and suitable for whatever class you have decided to take. I played sports for many years outside of DCU so being part of classes is what suits me best as it gives me the sense of being part of a team while maintaining an appropriate fitness level. The variety of classes is amazing from Aqua Aerobics to Spin to Kettlebells to Metcon to name but a few. Each instructor brings professionalism and variety. No two classes are ever the same so as I say the variety keeps it interesting and fresh. Would I recommend DCU to a friend ? Well only one answer to that ....In a heartbeat..... Plenty of reasons though including the variety of classes, the variety of variations from class to class, no two spins or kettlebell classes are the same professionalism of instructors but also their friendliness to include their clients in classes is second to none. Best thing I did was return to DCU joined on the summer deal but will be going for annual membership going forward.

One of the best aspects of the DCU gym, especially since its rework, is the wide variety of modern gym equipment and the extra facilities such as the sauna, swimming pool and steam room. This is only further amplified by the staff who always seem to be willing to go above and beyond to accommodate for everyone’s individual needs. They’re also more than qualified and offer great support for creating gym programs or just giving anyone advice. Would I recommend DCU Sport, absolutely. They have friendly, well qualified staff as well as an abundance of machines, free weights and resistance options for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, experienced, looking to use just the gym or prefer to use the pool, sauna and steam room. In DCU Sport there always seems to be something for everyone.
