From charity fundraisers to competitive tournaments, we’re extremely proud of some of our FFS community events today.
With social distancing in place, all our physical events are currently on hold. But we will have Weekly virtual community events – that are members only events. We are putting together a fun calendar of quizzes, cook along sessions, Q&As and other events. Events are typically Sundays and your family are more than welcome to join!
Can you remember the last time you did a burpee on a dance floor? Well, we do! Last year, we teamed up with House Dublin to take 40 brave souls through a Met Con in their nightclub. This intense workout was followed by a delicious brunch, as well as a nutrition Q&A with FFS’s Director of Performance, Ciaran Ruddock.

But the FFS team rose to the challenge and did us proud, narrowly losing in the plate semi final. Afterwards, the team had a quiet night by the fire...
2019 saw the 4th instalment of the FFS Ryder cup contested by 12 players from Leinster V Rest of Ireland along with some 20 spectators from the gym making the most of the festival atmosphere in the west of Ireland for a weekend. It sits at 2-2 in the race for the third star on the jersey. The 5th year anniversary in Doonbeg September 2020 will be explosive.
In 2016, around 100 FFS gym members and staff set out to raise awareness and funds for the ICS. Our efforts gained overwhelming momentum and we raised over a staggering €100,000 - over double our initial goal.
Many thanks to our community and everyone else who helped turn our event into such a resounding success.
MORE INFOAs part of our people first philosophy, the FFS team takes great care to plan thoughtful events for its members and staff to enjoy. Planning our community events takes consistency and time, but so does staying fit. Here at the Home of Hard Work, we’re happy to reward our community for their dedication.
FFS aims to organise a community get together for staff and members every month. Events can range from small group hikes in Howth, right through to big charity events. Sometimes we stay local, sometimes we venture abroad. But wherever each event takes us, always expect laughs, craic and high energy.
