A loose log of where I pretend to be an athlete between Figma files and Leinster matches. Some days it's PRs, some days it's just me negotiating with a rowing machine. Ranked by how likely I am to go back without being guilt-tripped by my own calendar.

Gym spots I actually show up to — 5 items
Name	Address	City	Verdict
1Markievicz Sports and Fitness Centre	Townsend Street, Dublin 2	Dublin	Council prices, city-centre pool, zero pretence. I come for laps, stay to eavesdrop on the aqua aerobics class.
2National Basketball Arena	Parkwest, Tallaght, Dublin 24	Dublin	Not strictly a gym, more where I go to watch other people be athletic. Counts as cardio if I shout loud enough.
3St Anne's Park parkrun	St Anne's Park, Mount Prospect Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin 3	Dublin	Free, early, brutal. I've PB'd twice and cried once, roughly in that order.
4Herbert Park	Herbert Park, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4	Dublin	My actual lunch-break loop. Ducks judge my pace and honestly they're not wrong to.
5Iveagh Gardens	Clonmel Street, Dublin 2	Dublin	Hidden enough that nobody from work sees me power-walking in gym gear eating a protein bar like it's a cigarette.
