Gym users in Dublin will probably know of FlyeFit's reputation for opening gyms in strange locations, and stamping a distinct style on the inside.
For instance, their Ranelagh branch will be familiar to most children of the 1990s as the former site of Il Mondo – in fact, you can still see some of the old fixtures and fittings in there – while their Macken Street venue is decked out in seriously slick street-style art.
After all, if you're going to bust a gut, you might as well do it amid some nice surroundings – and they certainly haven't disappointed with their cracking new George's St venue, which opens tomorrow morning.
Built into an old church building, they've retained all the old features – as you can see in these pictures, tweeted by @CiamhieMc from tonight's launch.
The TRX/yoga room in particular looks absolutely phenomenal – but even the low-hanging wooden ceilings over the spin and cardio areas provide something pretty unique here.
Flye gyms can get a little bit crowded at times – it's a low-cost model which charges just €29 a month, but works off pretty high membership numbers – but there looks to be so much space here that it's hard to imagine it feeling tight.
And while you probably won't get away with wearing heels to a kettlebell class – like Katie Kelly, who sent us the pic below from tonight's launch – it's definitely a pretty decent gym for those who are new to the whole fitness buzz.
Not that we want to talk about such things just before Christmas, of course...
