The Edge Clontarf

Fit camp on Sunday’s at 10am is great as it is fun and a good workout! Eoin is lovely and knows when to push you to give your best! TRX on Monday and Wednesday evenings are tough but you really feel like you’ve pushed yourself to the max in the hour! Would highly recommend and its 4 classes for € 40, worth it to get good results!

Have been training here for 3 months now and have awesome results! Am training with James and an intern helps him sometimes too. Getting ready for a holiday to Ibiza and another one to Corfu so need to be bikini and shorts ready! These guys are SO amazing– check out the website.

Love The Edge! All the guys in here are super motivating and supportive. I had my initial consult with James and I would have never said I’d enjoy going to the gym but I really do now!
And anyone who could have fixed my big bum deserves 5 stars!

What can I say? They grew on me! The first time I went in I met someone no longer working there who gave a bad impression. The experience I had with David was in stark contrast and absolutely fantastic. My consultation was unhurried and in depth. He picked up on a few weaknesses and gave great nutritional and lifestyle advice.
My training session a week later was fun! The programme I was given was entirely personalised to me. It was the opposite to a «cookie cutter» programme that you see handed out in many gyms or in books. I was given exercises that specifically addressed my personal issues and were part physical therapy, part training. They were adapted to suit me as we went along and modifications suggested. I left feeling enthusiastic and with a new confidence in my abilities!
I love it that they are so contactable-​I was able to email David afterwards with questions and they are very active on Facebook (
) and Twitter (@TheEdgeClontarf) where they post videos and give advice. They really do care about their clients and get genuinely excited when they achieve goals. They’re like the ultimate cheer squad!
People who put the personal into personal training and actually care about their clients. Win!
P.S: Forgot to mention: they’re annoyingly accurate in their body fat testing too. I’ve had a couple of body composition Dexa scans at different levels so I kind of have a vague idea what level I’m at myself. I’d estimate that Dave was pretty much bang on. Dexa is increasingly seen as the gold standard (i.e. best) test these days so they probably get to add «gold standard fingers» to their list of attributes. Has a certain ring to it I think!

I was really surprised when I read the first review of ‘The Edge’.
I’ve been training with the guys (Dave specifically) for years now and have nothing but the highest praise for Dave and James (the two owners mentioned) and the facilities in The Edge .
I think your initial experience was extremely unfortunate (and unusual), as that is definately not the way the two guys conduct business or treat their clients! Which trainer did you meet on the first day? As I said I’ve been training with them awhile, I’ve alot of friends and friends of friends who train there and have never heard a disparaging word spoken, in fact it’s quite the contrary.
Peolple love the hours they spend training there, the results they get, and the insights they glean from the unbelievably huge knowledge base of these guys– if you have a sports related training, nutrition or supplementation query, these are the muscley men to put it to! They’ll even answer any queries you have on the discussion forum on their website and it’s well worth checking out for already posted useful information.
I’m delighted to hear that you’ve been back into The Edge to give it another go, I’ve no doubt you’ll be a big fan in no time! What better way to spend time and a little money than getting fitter, healthier and slimmer in the 1 on 1 company of one of the best trainers in the country?
