    Racist PTs. PTs there are quite aggressive/harassing towards you if you are not their clients. I made complaints to management but they didn't pay small bit of attention to the issue. Post getting below reply from them over Google reviews , I uselessly dropped another mail and still no response. That racist should have been fired by now.

    Awesome. Personal trainers are really friendly coming from experience and hiring Stewart Penny Fitness. Good amount of cardio machines and decent amount of benches for dumbbell workouts. Has one squat rack, larger bench presss for barbells and two smiths machines and variety of other machines (butterfly, bench, leg press, Thigh, Shoulder) and few more. Definitely recommend it. .

    (No longer 24 hours shuts at 10pm I think, found out at 2am when the door would not open. NOT the 24 hour Gym I pay for) Didn't have a bad word to say about this Gym. Lots of space to work out and kept clean all the time.

    Great gym, in a good location and always clean. App is great for seeing how busy the gym is and booking classes. Staff are very helpful and on hand to help with anything and push you to be the best version of yourself. Classes on offer are fantastic, good variety or exercises as well as times / days to suit the working week etc.

    I've been a member of The Gym since moving to an office nearby and find the staff really friendly and welcoming. I have enjoyed some classes with Chloe the manager who is super friendly and encouraging. The gym floor is never too busy to get on everything you want to during your workout. Would happily recommend, great value too.

    The gym group gym with a very large selection of weight/resistance machines - has pretty much everything you would want and then has a large free weights section with 1x squat rack, 1x power rack with an Olympic lifting platform, 1x Smith Machine, 1x flat barbell bench then has about 8 free benches with a huge dumbell rack. My only wish is that it has a dedicated incline bench press and an Olympic platform which is seperate from the power rack. Overall, excellent commercial gym

    This gym is great, clean and spacious. If you’re looking for PT speak to Chloe 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 She’s helped me conquer huge challenges at the gym and has helped to rebuild confidence in myself and my own fitness.

    Handy for using during the working week with a good selection of equipment. Male changing rooms are small.

  • 5/5 Vishal A. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice two floor gym with variety of equipments for work out. Near by several offices so you can go whenever you got time. Opens 24*7

    Great wee budget gym ⛹️!

  • 4/5 Imran A. 1 year ago on Google
    Go to the gym on a Sun & its generally very quiet.... Plenty of cardio machines & free weights to choose from... Gym area is clean & when needed I've found the staff to be very approachable.... Furthermore fellow gym goers (with much more exp than me) are also glad to help with advice.... the music isn't to my preference....

    Best in Town!!

  • 3/5 supriya 6 years ago on Google
    Okay

  • 4/5 Andy C. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent sized gym, can get very busy but as expected of course during busy periods This is quite a normal thing with this chain where their locations are quite small like you get only 3 or 4 benches which means you'll be waiting a while to get access to equipment. But a few cardio machines and some cable machines it works I guess.

  • 5/5 William G. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic PTs at bothwell street. Always a nice place to workout. Clean and well maintained. When I had my Induction i was made to fee sol welcomed. Good selection of free weights, machines and cardio machines. Ooen 24 hours which is a bonus. Definitely recommend and ever want to progress further definitely speak to one of the PTs

  • 5/5 Jamie S. 6 years ago on Google
    By far the best value for money gym in Glasgow city center. Compare it to any competition.

  • 5/5 yasin m. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place for fitness located in a decent place

  • 5/5 Rafal S. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cool. The gym is not great but everyone will find something for themselves. Equipment great. Many cupboards, clean showers. (Original) Super. Siłownia nie jest wielka ale każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Sprzęt super. Duzo szafek, prysznice czyste.

  • 4/5 Vay L. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been part of the gym group for a few months now, and it has overall been great. The variety of classes ranges from intense cardio to strength and conditioning. Special shout out to George at fit cycles who always makes it enjoyable. Only reason I give 4/5 is because they changed the opening times so it now spurs at 10pm on weeknights, and earlier on weekends.

    I recently joined The Gym Group Glasgow Bothwell Street and I have to say, I'm impressed, facilities are top-notch and the atmosphere is super inclusive and friendly, making it the perfect place for gym-goers of all abilities. And the location? Can't beat it - a short walk from several city centre railway stations, including Glasgow Central, Anderston, and Charing Cross. I go there after 11 pm, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere makes for the perfect setting to focus on my workout and really get in the zone. I never feel rushed or crowded, and it's just me and the weights, getting my sweat on. It's such a refreshing change from the busy, noisy gym environments I've experienced in the past. So if you're looking for a value-for-money gym in Glasgow City Centre that's got all the bells and whistles, look no further. The Gym Group Glasgow Bothwell Street is the place to be!

  • 4/5 Krzysztof S. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been going there for 3 years or so. Very good for the price you pay and 247. Never busy well maybe apart from 5-7pm weekdays Would give 5 star but its really cold at times. In the spring summer months they have aircon pumping cool air as if we were in California, however you hardly see anyone actually sweating there 😅

  • 1/5 bhagya s. 1 year ago on Google
    I am just tired of staying here and paying taxes which goes to the nation full of such peoples who hates me or my family. PTs in the gym group is good example of those kind of haters.

  • 3/5 Taahaa D. 1 year ago on Google
    Can you please confirm if the gym timings have changed? It used to be 24 hours.

  • 5/5 Henry S. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Nikolett M. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rochelle D. 11 months ago on Google
    Great gym, knowledgable and friendly staff, well equipped and spacious. The range of classes is great and I always feel welcomed in here. Left my previous gym to try this one out months ago and never looked back! Shout out to Chloe, always encouraging and offering a hand.

  • 5/5 louise a. 11 months ago on Google
    Joined the gym group Bothwell street as covid lockdown eased felt a bit anxious at first joining but staff were so friendly and helpful they made me feel at ease and comfortable always happy to help. The classes are great with a variety of different classes.

  • 5/5 Noora A. 11 months ago on Google
    The gym is clean, organized and had a wide variety of equipment, from cardio machines to free weights and resistance machines. The only annoying thing is the change of the opening hours, the gym closes at 10 pm, It's limiting for those who have busy schedules.

  • 5/5 Sam F. 11 months ago on Google
    Great gym, staff are all really friendly and approachable and will do anything they can to help out 👌🏻 special shout-out to Chloe, her spin class was banging and she's always there to lend a hand if you need it!

  • 5/5 lyndsey c. 11 months ago on Google
    I’ve not long moved to the gym group as my PT moved here. Honestly so happy he did. It’s a slightly smaller gym compared to the pure gym I was at before. It can get a little busy but nothing major. However, if you go at the right times it’s SOO quiet. I LOVE IT. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. There’s decent equipment. The showers are really good as they stay on a bit longer and you can control the temp slightly. I’ve yet to attend a class but I’m sure that’s great as well. Other than the opening and closing times changing, I genuinely can’t fault it.

  • 5/5 Alan C. 11 months ago on Google
    I've been a member since it opened - it's very handy for my work. There's a decent range of equipment (better than some much more expensive gyms!). The gym team are friendly, special shout out to Stewart Penny PT who has been amazing at helping me achieve my goals!

  • 5/5 lesley c. 11 months ago on Google
    Great gym, clean and tidy, plenty of equipment, so even when busy you don't wait long. Really friendly staff and Chloe (who I believe is a manager) always greets you when you come in, stops to ask how you're doing, how's things are etc, she's a lovely lady 😊

  • 4/5 Calvin M. 8 months ago on Google
    I went during 2-5pm weekday. Everybody was professional and put the weights away which is more than what I can say for my current gym. There was only 1 barbell bench press machine.

  • 4/5 Laura N. 4 years ago on Google
    Clean & not overcrowded. It is pretty easy to get access to machines. The 'public' are mostly polite and respectful so the gym does not feel intimidating. There are a couple of things that could, however, be improved. The staff do not wear uniforms so it is impossible to know who is on shift and who to speak to if advice is needed. As a regular goer I am familiar with PTs but I do not know whether they are available, if, for example, they are working with a client. Also, another Olympic rack would be helpful. Currently the platforms are squeezed in the corner with not much space in between them. Sharing them in the evening can be a challenge.

  • 1/5 F 1. 4 years ago on Google
    It is one of the worst Gyms invented in Glasgow I first went into the gym at both well street, And the minute I walked through the door the atmosphere in the Gym was very very weird,I spent a good hour and a half in there during day time, I did not see one member of staff in there all I saw was I boy standing at the front door with a name bag on (Ross) and his arms folded The member of staff seemed so unapproachable To talk to that after my first visit I cancelled my membership and demanded my money back avoid at all cost if you can or if you want to experience something There is an absolute disaster and by all means go and see for yourself And the feeling was just so unwelcoming,I have never felt so unwelcome in my life so go and try it out for Your self

  • 5/5 Rakesh G. 4 years ago on Google
    The gym is great. Little busy but you can’t beat facilities against the cost you get around city centre.

  • 4/5 hilda h. 4 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the atmosphere and free exercise classes. High tech equipment . Helpful and friendly staff.

  • 4/5 punya t. 4 years ago on Google
    Great gym. Can get very crowded in the evenings i.e. between 4.30 to 6.30pm, as its in the heart of city.

  • 5/5 George S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great gym.

  • 5/5 David O. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a great place to get fit. It’s open 24 hours a day. There’s lots of qualified personal instructors who can help you reach your fitness goals. The clientele tends to be office workers from nearby buildings. Its busiest time of the day is just around lunchtime during the week. There is a wide range of equipment which is well maintained and looked after. If you want to get fit its place to go. There is no free parking but plenty of car parks and central station is 5 minutes walk away. Help Google We would love to hear if you found this review helpful - click thumbs up if you did.

  • 5/5 Calum W. 5 years ago on Google
    Great staff and trainers. Good equipment and never usually too busy that you have to wait a long time to use some of the more popular pieces of equipment. Lockers are available also and changing facilities are spacious and well equipped. Good gym.

  • 3/5 kevin d. 4 years ago on Google
    To be honest gym layout isn't the best , mens fitting rooms very very small for amount of guys trying to get changed, showered and ready a bit to much in a small area...

  • 4/5 Ritesh P. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice Gym with all the facilities.

  • 5/5 CrackingTeaBag 5 years ago on Google
    Some friendly staff members. Very well set out. Enough space for people to workout and still have other people walking behind them? Set out on 2 floors. Downstairs main focus is weights, upstairs is mainly cardiovascular. Cheap and easy to join up for a membership as well?

  • 5/5 Katie B. 4 years ago on Google
    Gym is nice and clean and has enough machines that you don't need to wait! All staff are really friendly and will help you out - the manager Ross is great.

  • 1/5 Stefan Van W. 5 years ago on Google
    I've been a member with this Gym for over 2 years. Just over a month ago my pin stopped working, I tried everything even changing membership type. I reached out to the staff for support, which was difficult as they are only available certain times of the day and I work night shift, I gave my contact details but every time they failed to come back to me. When I finally expressed my frustration I was told that I'm annoying them and was threatened by a member of staff. Terrible customer experience

  • 2/5 Martin B. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the bleaker of the numerous commercial chain gyms around the city. Sadly lacking in atmosphere, with a lot of soulless looking staff sat around the doorway area. Good classes occasionally.
