Based in Galway city centre, Energize Fitness & Leisure gym at The Galmont Hotel has 'upped the tempo' by investing an impressive €100,000 in new state-of-the-art equipment.
The expansive 4,500 sq ft gym now boasts a number of upgraded equipment, which will ensure fitness and wellness goals at all levels can be met to maximum effect and enjoyment.
Thanks to the new, interactive technology, those who try out one of the five new treadmills at the gym can opt to be transported to cities across the globe, and virtually run through the cities in real time. Alternatively, multitaskers can keep up with their favourite shows during their workout, through the treadmill's individual access to TV, Netflix and YouTube.
A new beginner-friendly, hip thrust machine is a rarity in many gyms. It offers a controlled environment to target your glutes, providing stability and allowing for greater focus on muscle, meaning better gains and fewer injuries.
The dual pectoral / reverse fly helps to strengthen the upper back, chest and boost shoulder health, all leading to a better posture and enhanced shoulder stability. Meanwhile, the versatile nature of the new plate-loaded, leg press makes it a piece of equipment that can be adapted to suit anyone, whether their goal is to enhance leg strength or injury rehab.
Additional new equipment includes: a StairMaster, a cable crossover, and a dual abductor / adductor -- which joins the facility’s established endurance-testing skierg --, spin bikes, cross trainers, squat racks, a Smith machine and a specialist boot camp studio with battle ropes, kettle bells, plyometric jump boxes and slam balls, all of which is overseen by Energize Leisure & Fitness’s friendly team of trained instructors.
Energize Fitness & Leisure's Manager, Noel Barrett says, “People’s spare time is precious so it’s important that our members have the optimum experience whenever they’re using our facilities. The equipment we have now is second to none and our members have been keen to let us know how much they’re getting out of their sessions. All of this combined with the little hotel luxuries that come part and parcel of being part of The Galmont Hotel, means an elevated workout experience that people genuinely enjoy.”
Striking the perfect balance between motivation and relaxation, the gym not only has the space to cater for all fitness needs and levels from cardio sessions, to weights and group classes, but also boasts the ultimate leisure suite for that all important post-workout wind-down.
Gym goers can reward themselves after a challenging session by relaxing in the 18 metre swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and outdoor hot-tub which has views over Lough Atalia. They can then end their session in true hotel style, enjoying the complimentary toiletries in the luxury changing facilities.
The convenient location also means that members can avail of three hours of free, city centre parking, creating the opportunity to pop into town or make a date for drinks and a bite in The Galmont’s Coopers Bar & Lounge or Marinas Restaurant.
