COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1. How do I get started with training at Activate?

Book your free No Sweat Intro, call in for a chat and we’ll help get you started!

2. What can I expect in my first few training sessions?

We start everyone with one to one training, so you get the best start possible, feel comfortable and confident from your very first session.

3. Do you have showers and change facilities?

YES! We boast luxury showers and change rooms so you can get on with your day straight from the gym.

4. I've never been in a gym before, I'm really nervous.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous when joining a gym for the first time. That’s why we sit down for a chat with everyone before they join, to talk about your goals and find the best fit for you.

5. Do you offer Personal Training?

Our sister gym, FORM, which is 50 meters down the road does! We can help introduce you to that top-class PT facility.

6. What actually happens in a No-Sweat Intro?

A relaxed 15-20 minute chat (no workout). We learn your goals, history, and schedule, then recommend the best plan to help you achieve YOUR goals.

7. I'm 55+/returning after a long break. Do you have something for me?

Yes, all our programmes are suitable but we also run Ireland’s largest and most successful Strength and Conditioning programme for older adults!

8. How many times per week should I train?

Most adults do well with 3-5 coached sessions weekly (mix of strength + cardio). That lines up with health guidelines: ~150 minutes moderate activity (or 75 minutes vigorous) plus 2 strength days. We’ll help you phase this in.
