Larry Liutvaitis, Manager of FLYEfit Drumcondra said, “Our favourite new piece of kit is the ‘Smith machine’ as it helps beginners who want to do barbell work but are afraid to use actual barbells. Smith machine provides guidance of which way the bar should move and if someone was to perform an exercise wrong it reduces the risk of injury if they were to use and actual barbell. You can also do a various different exercises with a smith machine that you can’t with a barbell as the bar on the machine is guided and locked in to place”.

Ian Meehan, Manager of FLYEfit Portobello also shared his favourite new machine saying “For me though I think it’s has to be the cable 8 stack. I’m a big fan of using cables and with all of the different stations there’s just so much you’re able to do. Seated cable Lat pull-down is an all-time favourite and the 8 stack has 2 in built”.

The renovations are scheduled to be completed in the coming months and FLYEfit looks forward to welcoming all it's members to try out the top-notch equipment and facilities!
