Ben Dunne Gyms is an Irish chain of Gyms, with locations in Ireland. The company was founded in June 1997 when they opened their first gym in Blanchardstown, Dublin.[2] Originally a mid to high end full service health club chain, the company reevaluated the market and is now focused on providing no frills gym facilities at affordable prices.
A typical Ben Dunne Gym has facilities such as freeweights, resistance machines, CV machines and functional training zones as well as strength and conditioning areas.
By 2012, the group has over 40,000 members[3] and the Carlisle location is reputed to have the largest gym membership in Europe.[citation needed]
