“I can't recommend District A Gym enough, it is the best gym I've been to! From the minute you walk in the door, the atmosphere is always so welcoming and friendly, between the staff and the members of the gym. There's a real community feel to the gym, you can tell that people love training there, myself included. The range of equipment is amazing with everything you could possibly want/need from some of the best brands.”
“Absolutely loving the morning classes - such a great group and atmosphere that sets me up for the day. The coach, Eamonn makes sure that each station is tailored to suit my ability level and after starting here post injury that was very important for me. Staff are so friendly and helpful and take the time to go through the different machines so that I'm building confidence all the time. Fantastic for all fitness levels.”

A note from District A
The people behind District A.
District A was built around a simple idea: to create a premium training environment that people are genuinely proud to be part of.
A gym should offer more than access to equipment. It should have standards, atmosphere, and a community where people respect the facility and support one another.
Some members are stepping into a gym for the first time. Some have trained for years. Others are preparing for HYROX or strength competitions. They all train in the same environment, with the same facilities and the same team.
First session or competition prep, everyone trains in the same environment, with the same facilities and the same team.
We're not trying to be the cheapest gym in Portlaoise. We're building one of the best places to train.
