Douglas g4m+o team did an 8 week programme with Leo, PT. We all really enjoyed it, welcoming atmosphere, relaxed yet got a great workout. Leo adjusted the programme to everyone's needs. Great encouragement to progress during the training sessions. I would really recommend this gym for any beginners, or to be able to train in a gym where you feel comfortable. Thanks Nicole and Leo
PTs are very friendly and welcoming
When I started at base I had a clear goal in mind to be able to run my first marathon. All the coaches provided me with their expertise in both strength training and advice for running which is a credit to the coaches. From my first interactions with the coaches I was greeted with a smiling face and endless support. No matter what size goal you have the coaches at base will help make it possible!
I joined BASE last September. I had never been in a gym setting before and I was quite intimidated by it so I took my time to find a place that looked friendly and supportive. I definitely picked the right place as every single one of the coaches make you feel at home from day one. I like that they look at your overall ability and encourage you to do an extra rep or take a heavier weight. I have seen great progress in my energy levels, body composition and strength in the last few months. Is not only about losing weight and have a slimmer body, I feel way more confident and comfortable in myself which is fantastic. Thank you to all the BASE team
It was very positive experience. It had been a long time since I was in a gym and was made instantly at ease. Doing your best at your own pace was the advice and the encouragement & help was always on offer.
A great place, everyone is so welcoming, Nicole and Leo are great at what they do, learned loads during my classes at BASE
I joined this gym after hurting my back and recovering from surgery, and I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better place to rebuild my strength.<br>Keelan has been amazing from day one. He really understood my injury and made sure everything I did was safe, progressive and tailored to me. I was nervous starting back, but he gave me the confidence to trust my body again.<br>The whole team are so supportive and welcoming. There’s no judgement — just encouragement. Everyone wants to see you do well, and that makes such a difference, especially when you’re coming back from injury.<br>I’m now stronger than I’ve been in years. What started as recovery has turned into something I genuinely look forward to every week.<br>Couldn’t recommend this place enough
I joined Base gym, Cork ,over four months ago. It has been a fantastic experience. As an older customer, I was nervous. All the coaches were amazing, very supportive, good humoured and skilled. I felt extremely safe, received loads of attention and tlc. I would highly recommend it for anyone over 40yrs.
Very friendly and welcoming, kids like the teen gym
