Update, August 2023
There's no notice on the window, or mention on their website or Socials, but
Gym+Coffee Galway is now closed: the shop is empty and the signs are gone.
Originally....
This Irish (Dublin-based) "athleisure" ie athletics + leisure chain which was founded in 2017, opened their first Galway branch in Barrack Street / Edward Square in November 2021, on Black Friday weekend.They're located in a modern-style two story shop unit, next to Elvery Intersports, which was previously home to Oasis clothing.
Gym+Coffee clothing includes hoodies, joggers, half-zips and beanies - basically comfortable leisurewear which won't look out of place in a cafe or gym. Their goal is to "make life richer" and their brand values include sustainability, well-being, and empowerment, and they think of their stores as "clubhouses" - with pretty much any potential customer being a "member". There's no actual cafe on-site, but they do recommend some locally owned cafes including Espresso 44, Urban Grind, Temple, Éan and Little Lane.
