    Decent gym. Been going here for several years. Could benefit from the water coolers and machines being fixed quicker. And maybe consider some new dynamic equipment.

    This is a good budget gym and the facilities are overall really good. One major drawback are the lockers. There is a big problem with lockers that don't lock as the locks are jammed. I reported this several times to management who it would seem have ignored this! Despite this poor complaint resolution the gym is well equipped with free weights, resistance machines and cardio machines. The gym is very clean and tidy and never too busy. Overall I'm pleased but for peat sakes fix the lockers and pay attention to user feedback as we know when someone isn't right, we're paying remember??

    Free parking is a bonus and it’s got a lot of basic equipment, although one massive drawback - the broken machines literally never get fixed! Vertical bench press machine has been out of use for at least 4 months now, I remember when the gym closed back in December for a revamp and I thought thank god that must mean they will fix all the broken machines, but unfortunately it wasn’t the case. Basically once you see a machine that’s out of use in this gym, you can say goodbye to it! EDIT: I came in last night and the vertical bench press was fixed. My prayers have been heard! Adding the star back.

    Probably the worst of Glasgow "The Gym"s I've visited, but that's not saying much. It's got most the facilities you'd expect and it's very busy in the evenings. Mask policy is non existent, despite what the signs say. I'm often one of the only people wearing a mask. Free parking on site. Staff have been pretty unfriendly to me in the couple of interactions I've had with them.

    Joined this morning, attended for the first time this afternoon and cancelled membership as soon as I left. I've used many gyms for over 25 years and this is the first one that doesn't offer paper towels and sanitising spray or even hand gel. I was shocked that an environment like this hasn't even got the basics covered. I've been in other budget gyms and they provide these. I'm aware people are supposed to carry towels (I only saw 1 guy out of roughly 60 with a sweat towel). Even if every member used a towel it would only dry the equipment, not sanitise it. We all know that not everyone washes their hands after the toilet, they then go out into the gym and touch all the equipment and the gym provides nothing that would allow you to clean the equipment before using it? It's utterly disgusting. So equipment will be covered in sweat, bacteria, covid and that's deemed acceptable? No wonder the equipment looked grubby. Even if there was a cleaner there 24/7 (didn't see one at all) it still wouldn't be any good because some equipment is popular and used by one person after an other. Now, if the visible basics of health and safety aren't being met, are the things we don't see being kept up to standard? I'm aware you want to claim to be carbon neutral, if that's the case you could at least provide spray and we could use our own towels to wipe. I understand businesses want to increase profits, but it doesn't mean you should be dropping health and hygiene standards to achieve that.

    If you want to get fit in a joyful, positive setting where you can meet plenty of good friends and work out alongside personal trainers who are encouraging but not judgmental, this gym is for you. The perfect environment for achieving happiness, good health, and being a very active and fit person. You will begin to miss the gym if you miss one day.

    It was good as gyms go. Quieter time is best as you can get on the machines.

    The gym is ok but it’s quite basic. Equipment needs servicing eg cross trainers rattley, foot straps not working, couple of resistant machines not smooth. And there are usually two or three bits of equipment out of action - the arm curl has been out of service for over a month. The equipment doesn’t feel particularly clean - other gyms I’ve used feel fresher and you rarely see gym users wiping down equipment after use. But it is cheap and overall ok for the price.

    Nice

  • 5/5 Rita 1 year ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Been to a lot of gyms but the gym Glasgow south is by far my favourite. The staff are so personable and really make the effort to get to know everyone. The classes are 10/10 and suitable for all levels of ability. Special shout out to Lauren and Dom. Both lovely and great teachers. Very approachable. Can’t recommend enough if your looking for a gym you want to feel comfortable in and get results.

  • 3/5 Creative C. 4 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Been a member for years and as budget gyms go it’s great. But like most I feel it’s over saturated in cardio machines when it could benefit from more plate loaded machines. The water cooler/fountain trickles out which I feel is intentional to have people pay extra for the flavoured water machine you pay extra for. It takes them too long to fix broken machines which can be annoying

    South side The Gym is one of the best gym. I have tried few other gym but this is one of the best. Gym have lots of equipment, clean, & all the personnel trainers are very helpful.

    Totally deserves 5 stars. The gym is well managed & staff are so helpful. Great variety of equipment & class choices. The cleanliness is ace. Always recommending this gym to my friends. Keep up the good work staff 👏👏👏

  • 4/5 Joseph M. 3 years ago on Google
    Quite good loads of machines but still saw people not wiping down machines after use

  • 5/5 Kamil A. 4 years ago on Google
    Not busy, even when google is saying its busy. Definitely recommend

  • 1/5 Ben B. 3 years ago on Google
    Bins outside constantly overflowing with rubbish onto the street. PTs are good but it appears the management, who are on a salary, cherry pick PT clients themselves and spend all their time PTing rather than managing the facility.

  • 5/5 Stephen B. 3 years ago on Google
    Clean and tidy, Keeping up with Covid rules 👍👍

  • 5/5 Hasnain N. 2 years ago on Google
    Ample space in the gym and never too crowded to find equipment. Things are now getting busier however still sufficient room for all. Paper towels and sprays available to clean equipment after use.

  • 5/5 Richard M. 2 years ago on Google
    Not too busy, machines get wiped down after use, the parking area could be a bit better though. Overall I enjoy going.

  • 5/5 Alex A. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Thomas C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great equipment very reasonable price, can be very busy at peak times.

  • 1/5 marius v. 1 year ago on Google
    it's not a serious company...you make a contract...then they cancel it...and they cancel the contract after you already pay a month in advance

  • 4/5 Richard G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good gym and the staff are decent. This would be 5 stars if the clientele would keep the place tidy and return weights etc. Absolutely not the staffs job to tidy up after lazy pond life, but they do which I think is unfair. CT Fletcher would not approve.

  • 4/5 Aamir J. 1 year ago on Google
    In winters its some cold inside but overall good facilities.

  • 1/5 Taral K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very un organised and non hygienic place. Never again.. Also i must say fire safety standards aee below the par....too ....i may be extremely catastrophic in case of such emergency...

  • 5/5 prabhjot k. 1 year ago on Google
    Only gym I’ve been to and I have no complaints don’t see myself changing gyms anytime soon. Been training with Laura Yau since the end of 2018 and she’s super helpful and supportive with my weight loss journey. I’ve had my ups and downs but she’s always been there by my side. Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 ruth h. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this gym! The weighs for women class is amazing. Aymen, Harish, Ajay and Dom all take the classes, they are all super helpful and really push you to get stronger 💪. 10/10 recommend :)

  • 5/5 Alan B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great gym with a great atmosphere. PT’s organise challenging classes from fit pump to circuits. Dom, Aj and Ayman put you through your paces and are always available for a chat. I predominantly use the free weights and was given excellent instruction from Laura Yau on the key lifts of deadlift, bench, squat and press. My confidence in the gym has increased immensely since these sessions and I am feeling the positive results.

  • 5/5 Jade G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience at Gym Group Glasgow South. A well equipped and tidy Gym. All staff very friendly and approachable, overall impressed with this facility and would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Tapasya W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a wonderful place to workout. The gym space is massive, clean and the trainers are friendly. I absolutely love this gym for my daily workouts.

  • 5/5 Callum L. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff and facilities were 1st class. The manager (Lauren) gave me a personal introduction and made me feel very welcome at the gym.

  • 5/5 Janice K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great experience joining this gym. Staff were very helpful and spent a lot of time with me during induction. Excellent equipment, well laid out, very clean. Value for money love it.

  • 3/5 venkman 8. 9 months ago on Google
    Large gym which somehow still manages to feel crowded with equipment. Has all the equipment you would look for including a push sled and a large studio area. Don't think uses the space well enough. 2 Olympic power racks and one squat rack all that jazz. Should exchange the last the last squat rack for a third power rack for more utility - but God forbid the members there know much about gym etiquette. Unfortunately there seems to be zero gym sense with most members there. Little sense of self and spatial awareness. I don't go to make friends but it's not the most welcoming atmosphere - can't put my finger on it. Awful looking water fountain with grime at the spout. Take enough of your own water from home tap or likely get leprosy. Gf didn't feel overly comfortable in a crowd dominated by poor-form-having members. Would probably benefit from a women's training area as shawlands pure gym does. Simply to improve that aspect from her experience. Value for money but really, I didn't like it. Will head back to the one at the Forge. Still has that obnoxious paint scheme but all around the members there are much easier to train around and the camaraderie is better.

  • 5/5 Lisamarie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location with parking, friendly staff always with a welcoming smile, and happy to help or answer any questions. Gym is clean, well maintained, and any issues reported are resolved quickly. Would recommend.

    Good gym for the price, free parking and open 24hrs. Plenty of equipment, although tends to have one machine at out of action, but not a problem.

  • 4/5 Gavin M. 4 years ago on Google
    It's absolutely massive and the refurb and made it bright and fresh. Packed full of equipment. The lockers are a disaster though.

  • 5/5 John A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great gym plenty of free weights and machines to suit everyone,, free parking...

  • 4/5 Kieran R. 4 years ago on Google
    The Gym itself has loads of equipment and is of really high standard (specifically free weight area). Recently been refurbished and is one of the best gyms for weight training I've been to. That said the free weight area can be a disgrace at times with certain large groups of people dumping litreally entire shelves of weights on the floor and leaving them behind. By 10pm most week nights the gym looks like an absolute bomb site. Can't fault the staff though since they do their best keeping the place tidy during normal hours (not that they should need to if people had some minimal gym etiquette) The mens locker room is in dier need of refurbishment. Most of the lockers straight up don't lock properly (the locking mechanism has basically snapped). They recently closed the mens locker room for a few days where I hoped they would be replacing at least most of them, but no change. Great gym overall though, would recommend despite the issues.

    The gym itself is well equipped and has a variety of machines and equipment. Plenty of free weights as well. The parking is free and easy to access. The water despensers are a bit tired and don't always dispense properly and often the bathrooms are a mess.

  • 1/5 A D. 5 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Paul H. 5 years ago on Google
    Cheap, good equipment and 24/7, but strange unfriendly amosphere and no available staff. Ask one of the trainers a question and they look at you as though you just stole their wallet!

    I been going to this gym for a while because it’s walking distance from my house. So far it’s good I quite like the atmosphere with bright lighting and not really intimidating unlike other gym. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I went for a PT session with Ajay and he was very helpful and attentive. The thing I want to suggest is if they could use a good air freshener in the toilet area for women. It’s always clean though but there’s always a smell in there.

  • 5/5 Hekmatullah N. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    5 stars is not enough for this gym, it kinda turned to my second house, I met so much people and memories I made in the course of 2 years since August 2021 but now this gym started to decline it's amazing features such as great PTs left this gym and it doesn't have standard pull up bar, it's wether rounded or covered by leather which is not standard and it only has one dip bar which is disappointing, no resistance band not proper cable attachments but to be honest, I don't know what happened but they had better features when the fee was 15.99 than compare to now which is 17.99, but yeah I am leaving because this gym is losing its features fr. I will miss this gym fr🥺
