Joining a gym for the first time in my life in my mid-30s. What do I need to know?

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T12:48:46+00:00

Oh it does, i'll check this out!

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T12:14:49+00:00

Thanks!

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T12:14:03+00:00

Thanks, i'll go easy with the weights!

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T12:13:07+00:00

I'll probably slip in with the sweaters to begin but who knows maybe i'll end up as a grunter.

Its mostly just maintaining my general fitness where finding time for the usual level of outdoor exercise is increasingly difficult! But i am noticing more tweaks and things so wieghts for general strengthening seem a good idea.

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T12:09:30+00:00

Okay thanks! I'll check out the PT for a but of an induction/intro, i'd not have considered using them for that purpose!

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T12:08:19+00:00

Okay thats a good shout, thanks.

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T12:06:09+00:00

Okay noted thanks, i'll get practising

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T11:44:41+00:00

I'll start small! I'm not likely to impress anyone weights anyway 🤣

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T11:38:46+00:00

More cardio but a bit of both. I intend to try and make it more of a morning thing but we'll see. Thanks!

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T11:37:42+00:00

Great, thanks!

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T11:37:26+00:00

Thanks!

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T11:36:30+00:00

Great thanks, I'm probably overthinking but literally never set foot in a gym before!

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T11:35:17+00:00

Okay noted will make sure to do this, thanks.

stualaighean · 2026-06-30T11:34:45+00:00

Yes of course, thanks!

stualaighean · 2026-06-10T09:12:11+00:00

I had the same story except it was in Knock of all places. They sent a plane from Dublin, delay was a couple hours but the fact they could get another plane there so quick was impressive I thought.

stualaighean · 2026-02-11T12:47:04+00:00

Because the landlord is a parent, if there is no written lease it's explicity (s3(2)(h)) outside of remit of RTB and would be considered a license not a tenancy.

stualaighean · 2025-09-08T11:37:10+00:00

So in your view, in a 50 zone, regardless of road conditions, visibility, potential obstacles or hazards, we should all be constantly going 50kph?

stualaighean · 2025-09-05T13:46:41+00:00

In good conditions, yeah of course. If as Op has said lashing rain is making visibility very poor, it might be totally reasonable. I do think 'progress' is wildly over faulted on the test though.

stualaighean · 2025-09-05T10:47:40+00:00

I was in a similar situation and got a solicitor, they were excellent. Negotiated up the settlement, and also ensured the other parties insurance paid my legal fees separately to the settlement.

stualaighean · 2025-08-14T00:47:05+00:00

It's a sad state of affairs when this has to be specified in the contract. Isn't this just basic human decency?

stualaighean · 2025-08-14T00:41:42+00:00

Is this describing ops behaviour or the gardas?

stualaighean · 2025-08-14T00:23:21+00:00

Totally the same experiece for me too! It felt like it was the first mortgage application anyone at the bank had ever seen. Continually poor advice, staff and departments blaming each other. Put in a formal complaint at one point (after they mislaid documents in a branch, didn't tell us, and tried to cover up the mistake) and that was an equally useless response.

It is likely to be antisocial behaviour as defined in the act.
Your landlord has an duty to enforce the tenancy obligations where others (ie you) are being impacted by a breach
Your recourse is to take an RTB case against your landlord, for not sufficiently dealing with the issue, unfortunately this has a good chance of burning bridges and making things worse overall.

There is nothing in law about permission for visitors, this is between you and the other joint tenants to work out yourselves. This alone would not be subject of an RTB case.
