While today is the 5th of January, for many of us the January 'get fit' plan really only begins today as we return to work and our usual routines.
We've partnered with 24 hour gym chain, FLYE Fit, this month to create a series of fitness videos to help motivate you to get back in the gym. In the first video personal trainer Roberto takes us through the correct form the correct form of common exercises seen on gym floors across Dublin, dumbbell bench presses and push ups.
So no excuses, off to the gym with you to try these exercises out with perfect form. You can thank us for your toned body later!
This post is sponsored by FLYEfit, an expanding Irish chain of no contract, low cost supergyms that have been creating a big buzz around Dublin. FLYEfit are the first Irish gym chain to open 24/7 and the first to offer a fully automated online, self service gym membership.
These gyms radiate a cool, urban vibe and are stuffed to the rafters with the latest cardio equipment, strength training machines, huge free weights areas, functional training zones, astro turf, rigs, racks and Olympic lifting platforms.
They also feature the ultra slick Real Ryder spinning bikes that tilt and bank like real bikes. There are over 40 weekly classes to choose from in each gym, including indoor bootcamp classes, boxercise, yoga, pumping sculpt classes, kettlebells and TRX classes to name a few. All classes are included in membership. Monthly subscription for a single club membership is only €29 per month or you can access all FLYE gyms for €32 a month.
Members control their own FLYE gym accounts online and can book classes three days ahead. The self service model enables members to join, pause and cancel their gym membership online and you can book a free gym program to get you started. Your city, your gym!

A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts. They weren’t in war paint or waving placards but they may as as well have been. The Kilkenny and […]

Remember 2007? Every Irish Leaving Cert oral exam was essentially a panic attack punctuated by shaky mentions of “cúlú eacnamaíochta.” Now, the discourse is back but 2025-ified. Instead of being pumped into us via well meaning language teachers, this time it is fuelled by TikTok sleuths dissecting every minor inconvenience as proof we’re already in […]
A survival guide for the tragically trendy now being bullied by signage. So. It’s sunny. You’ve got your tiny sunglasses on, your €17 graphic tee is cropped just enough to show the tattoo you got in a moment of heartbreak, and your Sambas have barely touched grass. You’ve done your civic duty and supported a […]
Waking up at 5AM is slightly more tolerable when there’s the Best Sunrise Views in Dublin and the opportunity to flex on main. There’s a specific kind of person who voluntarily wakes up at sunrise. They’re either spiritually awakened, deeply anxious, on a wellness bender, or just trying to feel something before the workday starts. […]
