A brand new state-of-the-art fitness centre has opened in Kilcummin - and locals will be feeling fairly fit after just a few sessions.

Kilcummin GAA Fitness Centre, located 10 minutes drive from Killarney town, is open seven days a week from 6am-11pm for any adults who want to join for €150.

Membership of the gym will give members access to the highest standard of equipment including spin and stationary bikes, thread-mills, cross-trainers, assault bikes, chest and shoulder presses, free weights, barbells, hex bars, weight plates, four bay rig, TRX and landmine rows, under the guidance of gym manager, Shane O'Sullivan of SOS Fitness.

Kilcummin GAA say the membership fees are "outstanding value" and are delighted to welcome new members in.

"We are delighted to see so many local people availing of the new facilities, many of whom are not club members," Willie Fleming said. "Membership of the GAA club is separate to that of the fitness centre. Whether you are a regular gym user or have no experience whatsoever, you are welcome to join up and become part of a fitness community. Shane will guide you through the facilities and will also be available for one to one personal training sessions, small group training sessions, as well as organising larger group fitness classes for all levels."

The gym which spans 64ft x 41ft is a huge addition to the local community and surrounding areas, giving adults of all ages and fitness levels the opportunity to avail of top-class facilities and expert training on their doorstep.

Complete with changing rooms, showers and full accessibility, it is part of a major development in the GAA club that has been taking place in club grounds since 2019 with the generous support and help of members of the local community and supporters of the club from near and far as well as capital funding and grants.
