Open 24 hours, the franchised 7,500 sq ft gym is in the Tullamore Retail Park and will provide the local community with a “welcoming and inclusive fitness facility to achieve their health goals, as well as free on-site parking,” said a spokesperson.
Members have already rushed to the gym on its opening day on Tuesday, with many queuing to get in and experience their first workout ahead of its afternoon launch. It is Snap Fitness’ sixth location in the Republic of Ireland and 102nd across the UK and Ireland.
The gym is packed full of state-of-the-art equipment, including connected cardio equipment which allows members to link up their fitness wearables and watch popular streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+ while they exercise.
For those into group exercise, the gym has two group exercise studios, including a dedicated indoor cycling studio with eye-catching lights that match the music in the class.
The gym is owned by franchisee Brinderjeet Gill, who is opening his third Snap Fitness location. “We’re delighted that our opening day has finally arrived,” said Brinderjeet. “The reaction from the local community has been unbelievable and it was great to see the enthusiasm from our members who were queuing up to enjoy their first workout here.
“We’re really proud of the gym that we’ve created and the work that’s gone in to ensuring the design and equipment offering reflects what the local community wanted.
“We understand that the gym can be an intimidating place for people but that won’t be the case here. Our goal is to be the most inclusive gym in the area and that people feel completely at ease when they walk through our door.”
Going beyond just a gym, Snap Fitness Tullamore members will benefit from a relaxing, recovery area which includes Therabody massage guns and vibrating wave foam rollers.
For those wanting to refresh after their workout, the gym has a range of private shower and changing rooms, as well as a vanity area with GHD hairdryers and straighteners.
Membership to Snap Fitness Tullamore includes round-the-clock access, instructor-led and virtual group exercise classes, a member smartphone app and reciprocal access to all 1,000 plus global Snap Fitness locations.
