What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
There are 2 facilities available. I belong to the Leisure Centre (also houses the bowling alley, casino and kids arcade) in town. It has a lovely pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and a nicely fitted exercise and weight room. The equipment is well maintained and the place is clean. It is a little pricey (420 Euro for a couple for 6 months), but worth belonging because we have an enormous amount of rain days where you wouldn't want to be out walking for exercise. It is quiet most days and makes you feel very pampered.
The other place is the Skellig Hotel and it is about 40 Euro cheaper and just about a third of a mile out of town. The pool facilities are larger, but it is used by the hotel guests and lots of families with kids, so its more crowded. The weight and equipment area is larger as well, but looking shabby and slightly unkempt. There was also a weight lifting room over on the pier but I don't know if that's still open. - Feb 2009
