“This is a great gym. I live in America, came here to train when I was over visiting family. Great vibe, no attitude. They have the strength equipment you need. Lalas brothers are globally competitive strongmen - I chatted with Vytautas for a while, very friendly and engaging. I would absolutely go back.”

“Honestly can’t say enough good things about Top Performance Kilkenny. The lads are sound, really know their stuff, and make you feel welcome from day one. The sessions are tough in the best way, and you actually see progress without feeling judged or out of place. Great vibe, great people, and top results. Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking about going to a gym in Kilkenny.”

“I visited a few gyms in the city before choosing this one. The owners care about maintaining the quality of the gym floor. It's always clean and the equipment is very well maintained. Never overcrowded when I was there in the mornings, and the atmosphere was perfect for working out in. Keep up the great effort lads.”

“All round brilliant experience. I got a day pass (€10) and it is great value. Great selection of plate loaded machines and dumbbells. It is fantastic to see staff members (strongmen world champions) using the gym equipment and they give valuable advice and are very friendly.”

“Used this gym when i was working in the area on a site and had to stay down. Great little find, as other people have said, place is spotless, no damaged equipment out on show. Only gym i have come accross that actually has a bulgarian split squat stand. Also has some deadly cable attachments that are made to fit your grip perfectly unlike the usual run of the mill ones.”
