While I am in a committed relationship with my gym membership, I have found that every once in a while it can be fun to branch out and explore other class timetables to keep my fitness regime fun and interesting. I love finding different ways to exercise and fight the fat!
Hence why I have taken the time to compile this list of Dublin’s hidden gems when it comes to fitness classes in the city.
Rebel Barre:
A relatively new venture, this barre company is now open in Temple Lane Rehearsal Studios. Teaching various barre classes, it is the perfect way to spice up your fitness routine and have fun at the same time. Barre is a fab form or exercise as it combines ballet inspired exercises, HITT training and Pilates to sculpt and tone. Classes cost €16 and €13 with a student card or under waged.
Spinzone:
Dublin’s very own version of the trendy cycling studios that are taking over the fitness world. Located in Long Mile Road, Dublin 12, this neon lit studio is the perfect place to work up a sweat in style. With pumping music and fantastic instructors and only €6 per class, this spin studio is a must try!
Raw Gym:
Located in Portobello and now Sandyford as well, this has been doubed Dublin’s best training experience. Boasting a large floor of equipment including free weights and machines, this gym also offers a huge variety of training classes that are sure to leave you fit as a fiddle such as TRX, Boxercise and Yoga.
