Couples can train side by side, relax together in the sauna and steam room, then join lively group classes, yet the campus-style setting feels functional rather than romantic, trimming the score a little.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Couples can fit a swim, gym session and sauna without rushing
Swim in the 25m Pool:
Use the 25 m pool for laps or gentle swims together
Tip: Visit mid-morning on weekdays to avoid peak swim classes
Relax in Sauna & Steam Room:
Unwind muscles side by side in the heat rooms after exercise
Tip: Use the sauna after your swim for best temperature contrast
Try 3D AR Workout Videos:
Follow animated guides on your phone for perfect form
Tip: Scan the in-gym QR codes to load workouts on your device
Join a BodyBalance Class:
Combine yoga and Pilates in this partner-friendly session
Tip: Book your slot online a day ahead to secure space
Climb the 10 m Wall:
Work as a team on bouldering and top-rope routes
Tip: Complete the safety assessment before your visit to climb free
Book classes in advance during term (Sep–May) when students fill slots. In summer, try early mornings for quieter pool and gym.

We went for the Natural Stromgman tournament. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. They also had a nice cafe with a wide selection of fresh food. Great venue!

Edit: there was no AC on in the main gym area upstairs and when I asked the staff to turn it on they said t...

AVOID! It's not clean, staff are unfriendly and defensive when you complain. Just look at some of the dreadful responses to reviews on here! Gym floor very untidy and not clean and rarely any staff around. Machine seats ripped and many not working properly. Every bathroom has mould around sinks etc. Hairs in all showers, no soap, no moisturiser, no spinner for swim trunks. Lack of hooks in chan...

Great sport complex and gym. It has a lot of training machines and weights/dumbbells, treadmills, etc. During the academic year, it could become very crowded in the mornings (before classes start) and after 5 pm (when classes end). Other issues are machines becoming out of order frequently and being repaired very slowly and not having some machines like chest fly, back fly or any decline benches.

Prices have increased from €10 to €12 for pay as you to use the pool.

Just lacks care and attention. Why haven't these is...
