Intensity Fitness · Letterkenny
Hold on a wee second…Looking for a gym in Letterkenny? Before you sign up anywhere, there's a few things you should know about us.
If you're tired of starting, stopping and feeling like you're getting nowhere, we'll help you build strength, confidence and a routine that fits around your life. And this time, you won't have to do it alone.
Message us first. A friendly chat about your goals, no pressure to join.
Sound familiar?
You know you need to make time for yourself. Knowing and doing are two different things.
“I'll start Monday.”
“I'll get back into it when work settles down.”
“I'll join when I'm a bit fitter.”
And before you know it, another few months have passed.
Not because you don't care about your health. It's because between work, family and everything else, it's hard to know where to start, never mind how to keep going.
Maybe you've paid for a gym membership and barely used it. Maybe you've tried doing it on your own and lost steam after a few weeks.
That doesn't mean you're lazy or that you've failed. It usually means you were doing it without enough support. That's what we do differently.
The Intensity way
Imagine walking into the gym and knowing exactly what you're there to do.
Your session is planned. Your coach is there to help. You're surrounded by ordinary people working towards their own goals. You don't have to think up a workout, worry about whether you're doing it right, or compare yourself to anyone else. Just turn up. We'll help with the rest.
12 coached sessions every four weeks
Structured strength training with a coach beside you, so you never stand around wondering what to do next.
24/7 gym access
Train around work, shifts and family, including the days life doesn't go to plan.
Nutrition coaching
Practical guidance that works with your lifestyle and the food you actually like.
A structured programme
Your training is planned. You turn up, we guide you.
InBody progress tracking
See how your body is changing, so you're not relying on the scales alone.
Accountability and community
Coaches and members who notice when you're there, and when you're not.
Fitness should give you more out of life, not take more of your life away.
Stronger for the holidays. Confident in the photographs. Energy for your family. Independent as you get older. That's what we're really working towards.
Our community
You won't be doing this on your own.
Intensity is a friendly community of members and coaches who encourage each other, in the gym and out of it. Whether it's a session on the gym floor or a walk in the hills, you're part of a group that notices when you turn up.
Member stories
Real members. Real words.
“Just start it and stick with it. Just go up them stairs and you'll never look back or regret it.”
Watch the full conversation with Rosie and Peter. Every member's experience is different, so we'll talk through your own goals when we chat.

Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Francie.
DRAFT COPY – needs Francie's approval and edits
I started Intensity because I don't think most people need another gym membership. I think they need a bit more support.
I want Intensity to be a place where you're welcome from the very first day, whether you've trained for years or you've never set foot in a gym. You don't need to be fit to come here. That's what we're here to help you with.
Getting stronger should make your life bigger: more energy for your family, more confidence, more independence as you get older. If that's what you're looking for, I'd love to hear from you.

Questions
Things people ask us
Am I too unfit to start?
No. You don't need to reach a certain fitness level before coming in. We start from where you are now and build up gradually.
Is Intensity suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. We coach you through the exercises and explain what you're doing. You don't need to know your way around a gym.
I'm over 40. Is this right for me?
Very much so. Strength training is valuable at every stage of adult life. We adapt exercises to your ability, goals and experience.
What if I'm nervous about joining?
That's completely normal, especially if you've never trained with a coach before. You can talk to us first, ask whatever you like and find out what to expect before you decide anything.
How do the coached sessions work?
Your membership includes 12 coached sessions in each four-week period. Sessions follow structured programmes, with a coach guiding you and adjusting exercises to suit you. We'll explain the timetable and how booking works when we chat.
I work shifts. Can I still join?
Probably, yes. 24/7 access lets you train on your own outside the coached sessions, and we'll talk through whether the coached times suit your shifts before you sign up.
Can I use the gym at any time?
Membership includes 24/7 gym access, subject to the facility's access and safety rules. Coached sessions run at scheduled times.
Is nutrition coaching included?
Nutrition guidance is part of what we offer. We help you build practical eating habits that support your goals. We'll explain exactly how the individual support works when we talk.
How much does it cost?
Our standard membership is €159 every four weeks, which includes 12 coached sessions and 24/7 gym access. Details like the timetable and exactly how everything works are confirmed when we chat, so message us any questions. There's no pressure to join.
How do I get started?
Message us on WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook and tell us what you're hoping to achieve. We'll have a chat and make a plan. If you'd rather we contacted you, use the short form below. No pressure, no obligation.
Ready when you are
Six months from now, you'll be glad you started today.
You don't have to change your whole life overnight. You just need somewhere to start, a plan you can follow and people who'll help you along the way.
