A popular Dublin gym chain has announced that it will reopen its doors after being shut since the start of coronavirus in March.

Those who have not cancelled their membership will have their next payment for the gym taken out on January 8.
The monthly fee is now at €29 per month and will be collected on the 8th "or closest working day thereafter, until you cancel your membership".
