So many reasons to hate the gym, yet I absolutely love going. This recently converted Virgin Active…read moregym was once Esporta, so it has always been a private member's gym, just picked up in price a bit once Virgin bought it. The facilities in here are fantastic. Huge changing rooms with televisions and decent sized lockers, a huge pool that's very rarely busy, an even bigger gym that is fully equipped with anything you could want to use to build muscle or lose weight, and a fantastic restaurant/cafe that has a fully stocked bar and a full menu (mostly of healthy foods!). There's also a shop that sells spa/beauty products, as well as large indoor & outdoor tennis courts. The membership is a bit steep, but it's worth it if you're gonna be using it a lot of the time.

Pricey but worth it…read more I'm thin & have no muscle end of. However with the help of Virgin Active's staff the thin ikea-like flatpack stomach is now become defined. The staff here are honesty second to none! They are always on hand to lend you help or advice into what you should be doing to work towards your aims. This is obviously a private gym with a hefty membership price for myself at £45 per month (This is the 18 to 25 plan) this comes with unlimited use of the pool and gym. All I need to be honest. I think at this price it keeps away the idiots who go in and flex there muscles till there bulging out of there arms and stare at you because your big or small. The members here are all there for the same reason, to get fit therefore I dont feel intimidated at all when I look at other guys my age who have bodies which should be in the weekly edition of Mens Health magazine. With a glorious pool, which is NEVER busy. Busiest I've seen has been 10 people in the pool. On a weekday at lunch time you can almost be guaranteed to get the pool to yourself. Steam room and sauna are also very popular with all members, the sauna is much more frequently visited by hairy men and the steam room more visited by the Hamilton football club! Only thing, the changing rooms are all communal. This dosent bother me, but it may bother others. The cafè which looks onto the pool is incredibly reasonably priced and tastes good! Steak for £5.80...WHIT!? Tastes amazing though! And the strawberry split smoothie is to die for! I'd highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get fit or tone up or what ever :) Great fun!

THE BEST gym I have ever stepped into…read more I joined a month before it opened, having seen an add on Facebook and it's been one one of the best decisions of my year. The staff are amazingly friendly, it's not cliquey in the slightest, amazing selection of cardio and muscle machines. Full selection of Les Mills, Kettlebells, Spin, Yoga, Muay Thai, TRX classes etc, all included in your monthly membership. I took the plunge and got a PT to help me get into shape and lose body fat, I can't praise Jim highly enough for being pivitol in my (so far) shifting 3.5st It's a family run gym, so you're always guarenteed a warm welcome from Steven, the gaffer, or any of the rest of the ever growing team of top notch staff. If you're looking to get fit, have fun and feel amazing, New Age is definitely the place to come!

This is one of these new age, feel good centres which is far away from the world of treadmills and…read moresweaty, grunting men. It's official title is 'Wellness Centre' which doesn't scare me at all, not like the words 'spin class' scare me anyway. The centre offers yoga and Reiki classes, including shiatsu. I have never tried any of these, so this was really enticing and new. Reiki is a hands on therapy, which focuses on the healing of the energy sources on the body, promoting a mental and spiritual healing. Which all sounds lovely, but I'm not convinced. It costs £30 per hour, so it ain't the cheapest either. For something a bit more sporty, Funtastica run Zumba classes; a dance class with a latin twist, which lasts an hour and only costs £4. A few of my pals are regulars and absolutely love it! Yoga is another speciality, with Ashtanga Yoga (synchronising the breath with posture) and Dru Yoga (gentle stretches and breath awareness) Both of these are suitable for all fitness levels. Something different especially if you are allergic to the treadmill like me!
