I got a 24 hour pass online for £5 to go for a look around and a go of the machines as well. The gym is easy to get to on Cathcart Road and has it's own private car park. We visited at a peak time and there was loads of spots so that's always good to know. To enter you need a pin number and then you stand in a very futuristic pod thing to be let in. You can sign up in the front area as well, in case you aren't already a member. There are lockers in the main area which means they are inside the secure doors, and visible to the whole gym. This was one of my worries about going to a 24 hour gym as I've heard horror stories about people's stuff being stolen - this seems like it might not be an issue here as you'd have to be pretty brazen to steal someone's stuff right in front of everyone. The machines are laid out in one main area which is huge - there is rows and rows of treadmills, cross trainers, bikes, rowing machines as well as a free weight area and machines. Then there's a proper weightlifting room if you're into lifting the heavy stuff. All the equipment I want to use is here, and they also have free classes (as well as some paid ones). There was a good mix of people and by that I mean it wasn't a total gym-wank gym so most people should feel quite comfortable here. The music was bad, but when is gym music good? Bring your own headphones and you'll be fine. I would have ranked this place a 4 star quite happily, but I needed some help from the staff when getting my padlock set up. She was so super helpful and nice about my extreme stupidity that it gets bumped up to a 5 star.

A month or so in, and I'm really impressed with this gym. For less than half the price of what I…read morewas paying before I get loads in the way of cardio stuff, loads of resistance machines and a good sized space for doing body weight stuff. There's also a really big free weights section, but I haven't used that yet. The facilities are really good: nice and bright with a good changing area, loads of lockers, and good quality equipment that hasn't been battered about yet. I've not dealt with the staff yet, but they all look really friendly. There are personal trainers there, and the details are on the wall, but it would be great if there were prices up there as well. It's probably on the website, but something at the gym would be great. All in, this is a brilliant deal. For the price, you get membership for here and the one in the city centre, which is an absolute bargain. If you're looking for a new gym definitely give it a go.

Fitness first is the haven every woman has been looking for. How much do you hate going to the gym…read morein all your gym stuff just trying to stay fit and lose some weight when there are good looking guys everywhere. I used to be really self conscious when I was younger and went to the gym, I really didn't like carrying all that 'festive weights' and trying to get rid of it in front of people would clearly didn't need to. Now I don't care at all but Fitness First for women would have been great for me back then. The gym itself is so accessible being on Sauchiehall st so whether you are shopping, at uni or work, it is easy to get to, and even maybe for a pre-going out gym boost. I went to this gym on a free day trial, which you can get from the website. I liked my experience because no matter what, its nice to have a minute or two when you don't have to bother about your appearance. I didn't get a membership here because I would rather go to the gym with my boyfriend than by myself, and the membership fees are pretty steep for the facilities you get. But most in the city centre are, you are paying to save your time and be away from those terrible boys. :)

As soon as i entered i was by two smiley lovely girls who were chatty, i then asked were the changing rooms were as i hadn't been before and they were more than happy to give me a quick tour! The gym itself is a nice size not too big or intimidating, there is plenty of the usual equipment treadmills, cross trainers etc. There was also the usual weight machines but these were a bit dated and the resistance felt a bit weird to the more modern ones im used to, but nevertheless they did the job! I liked the fact the had punch bags and mitts etc meant i could take my frustration out!!! One more machine the had was the 'power plate' i had never been on one of these but had heard quite alot about them- like they give you a full body work out in 10 minutes. I saw a few women using it then fort i would have a go myself! There was a chart on the wall showing all the varying positions and techniques to make the most of the machine. I chose the positions and intensity then pressed start.... I have never experienced anything like it in my life i hated it!! the intensity was soo high i could feel my muscles rippling my eyesight was going funny n everything! I was supposed to hold it for 60 seconds but couldnt handle it haha! I take my hat off too anyone who can use it more than 1 minute!! :P

Greens is my dream fitness centre. It has a huge pool, a mellow atmosphere, machines everywhere and…read morea lovely sense of luxury. Sadly, I have only ever managed a trial membership: the cost, against using GCC's perfectly adequate facilities, made me decide against a longer commitment. It has brand new equipment, plenty of classes, both during the day and in the evening, and there are plenty of different rooms, making it feel more relaxed than most gyms. It never gets too busy- most gym memberships are hardly used- and the pool area is immaculate. It has several jacuzzis and sauna rooms, beautifully clean changing rooms and on-site massage. There's even a little shop, for when you forget your trunks. The downside is the cost- it pitches above the average, and the way that they ask about your current gym suggests that they are trying to offer individual deals that are most likely to attract you. They also do different deals for limited use, something I find useless: if I have a gym, I want to be able to use when I like, not just during the day. However, if you can afford it, it is far from the madding crowd.

Greens is located just off Fenwick road in the south side of Glasgow. Given the prosperity of the…read moresurrounding area, it aims to cater for the more upmarket segement of the gym clientele, a fact which is reflected in both their facilities and their membership prices. Onsite facilities include a gym, swimming pool, sauna and restaraunt. There is also parking available. Note that discounts are available to NHS staff, so it may be worth giving them a call as you can get cheaper rates!

On the whole it'll suit most needs and is as good as a number of gyms you'll pay top dollar for. So can't complain.

The majority of regular gym users are considerate to others and happy to spot. The weights area can become busy after 1600 hours but you only need to ask to work in with someone. The changing and locker rooms are fine although the shower area could do with being refreshed. The range of classes on offer are very good and included within the gym membership. The membership cost is reasonable for the area and the gym is by far the best in the locality.

As well as…read moreboxing, kickboxing, MMA and jui-jitsu classes, they also do personal training, Little Gladiators classes for kids and a bit of outdoor fitness as well. The egotistical/macho behaviour that I've seen at more than one martial arts gym before is very much not tolerated here, so it's great for women, or anyone who might feel a bit intimidated by the idea of walking into a 'fight' gym for the first time. The ladies boxing and kickboxing classes are a great place to start and, because you can take things at a pace that suits you, suitable for all fitness levels. The owners and instructors know what they're talking about, and will keep you right. Classes are usually a good laugh as well, and I appreciate the feeling that I'm getting fitter at the same time as learning what might turn out to be pretty useful new skills, rather than just running on a treadmill in a big glass box. Give it a go!

The gym is cramped and very busy, with a large number of machines in a surprisingly small area. There are personal trainers doing training in inappropriate spaces and annoying classes taking place in the middle of the floor with loud, awful music.

As a full time student I believe I can fully appreciate the target market of 'The Gym'. Not…read moreexclusively those in full time education, but anyone with a busy lifestyle who wishes to improve their overall levels of fitness without making the serious financial commitments asked by premium gyms, without compromising on basic standards such as cleanliness, staff and equipment. At £15.99 a month 'The Gym' is the cheapest in the Glasgow City Centre area I am aware of, even when taking into account other gym's student discounts. Signing up is done entirely online which I found easy and convenient. This is not a contract, and may be cancelled at any time at no cost (convenient when I travel back home for summer). The location is very convenient, only a couple of minutes away from Glasgow Central Station. It's open 24 hours a day, and whilst I can't say I've yet used it in the small hours when it is unmanned, there are plenty of contact points should a problem arise. All my dealings with the staff have shown them to be friendly, approachable and importantly enthusiastic towards their work. Personal training is offered, and each PT has a small profile detailing their specialist areas and contact details on a display board in the gym area. At a glance everything from muscle building, weight loss and nutritional advice is offered. Scheduled classes are also offered, and whilst I have never participated, there seems to be a wide variety. I have never found that these classes get in the way of my own work out, with them all taking place in a fairly spacious matted area out the way of most equipment. Standards of cleanliness seem very high. The changing rooms and showers are immaculate, and the staff regularly do cleaning rounds of the machines and fixtures. My only gripe would be that the gym rule for patrons to wipe down their machines with a towel after use does not seem to be enforced. Naturally this is the fault of those people themselves, but perhaps more prominent signage would help this. The equipment itself seems to be of a high standard and a good quantity. Even at peak times I have never struggled with finding cardio machines. Fixed and free weights are more crowded, but either side of the peak hour there are few problems. The gym's website features a graph showing the busiest hours, along with your own usage times. Furthermore it features a blog which provides fitness tips, ideas and motivation; It's small things like this which do provide that little bit more value for money. All in all an excellent gym! I would fully recommend it to anyone who wishes to tone up or lose the odd pound without breaking their bank balance or busy lifestyle.
