Tipperary County Council has granted planning permission for a new gym and three padel courts at a retail park in Nenagh. The development by TBB Fitness Ltd will repurpose a vacant unit previously used as a children's play centre. This expansion will mark the company's third gym location.
In a move to revitalize unused commercial space, TBB Fitness Ltd has secured approval from Tipperary County Council to establish a fitness facility at units 9 and 9b in the Springfort Retail Park, Nenagh. The project includes three padel courts alongside a gym area equipped with cardio machines, male and female changing rooms, and a staff space. Spanning the first and second floors, the development aims to breathe new life into the site, which had stood vacant after its prior role as a children's play centre.
TBB Fitness, already operating two gyms in Limerick—at Raheen and Coonagh—will expand its footprint with this third outlet. The company's offerings encompass a variety of workout options, including machines for exercise, as well as group classes focused on Hyrox, weightlifting, and metabolic conditioning sessions known as MetCon.
The council's decision comes with seven specific conditions to ensure minimal disruption during construction. These include measures to reduce dust and noise on site, requirements for storing waste bins in a designated area except on collection days, and restrictions on working hours: from 8am to 6pm on weekdays and 8am to 2pm on Saturdays. No specific opening date for the Nenagh facility has been announced, leaving local fitness enthusiasts awaiting further updates on when the new venue might welcome visitors.
