With Support From Fingal County Council
Our News - Our Gym & Wellness Area
Our gym has been a cornerstone of local health and wellness, supporting members from ages 14 to 80 and beyond for over two decades.

We are proud of the community we’ve built and are excited to continue growing and improving.
The next stage in our development is the upcoming refurbishment of our gym! This work will expand our space by an impressive 40%, ensuring we can accommodate the growing number of fitness enthusiasts from Donabate/Portrane and the surrounding areas.

What’s New

We’ve recently introduced a dynamic Pilates class to our schedule, offering a fresh way to enhance your fitness routine. To better serve our members, our dedicated gym team has also revamped the fitness class timetable in recent months, ensuring a variety of options to suit everyone’s needs and preferences.
Additionally, we’re thrilled to announce our very first appearance at the Flavours of Fingal event, where we’ll be showcasing our vibrant community and diverse fitness offerings.

Upcoming Charity Event: 80’s Fitness Class

Mark your calendars for a special event this July! We will be hosting a charity fitness class with a fun 80’s theme (fancy dress is optional but highly encouraged). This nostalgic workout session aims to raise funds for new equipment for both our classes and the main gym floor. It’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy a blast from the past while contributing to a great cause. We will finish the event off with a garnish of all your classic Sports Day games.

Thank you for being a part of our vibrant community, and we look forward to seeing you at the gym and our upcoming events!
