I'm glad the pool is open and functional again (there was a period where the pool was closed for maintenance-seemed like it was closed FOREVER!!!) The leisure centre is clean and all the staff is friendly...they never complain when ones asks for floaties when in the pool!! ;-) There are loads of classes offered here too, as well as the pool...I'd recommend getting the unlimited monthly plan if you're gonna be going to classes etc too, it'll be the cheapest way!! And that way you won't have to pay the EXTRA (!!!!) for the steam room and sauna..!! The only reason this is not a full five stars is because the spa hasn't been open the last few times I've been (apparently they're waiting for a part...) and that they close at four at weekends!!

Whitehill Pool is pretty much just that; one big pool and a tiny kids pool where the "deep end" reaches just above my waist. There are no chutes here; no flumes; no frills; no fun! As basic as it is, it serves its purpose if you're simply looking to swim a few lengths, however I'd advise getting in early if you want to avoid dive bombing dafties and lane hogging old ladies.

What can I say? It does what it says on the tin. Whitehill pool is great if you just want to swim a…read morefew laps but you have to go early or late to avoid little children getting in the way. The biggest issue I have with Whitehill pool is the cleanliness of the changing rooms and also the temperature. I know it's normal for it to be cold when you get out of the swimming pool but this is something else. It is absolutely FREEZING and not only the but the showers are old and unpredictable and go from being BOILING to FREEZING in a matter of seconds. There is also the unmistakable and inexcusable smell of sewage coming up from the drains. The place really needs upgrading. It's a shame really because Whitehill is my nearest swimming pool. Laps is what I like to do the best and it's ideal because there are quiet periods where I can sometimes even have the pool to myself. It's just a shame that the facilities are so poor!

Although the facilities here may be overshadowed by some mega-sports complexes, Bellahouston…read moreLeisure Centre is in a great location and has wonderful staff. They're chatty, friendly, full of information - and if they can't tell you something then they go out of their way to find someone who can. I've had pool guards politely step in to help teach my son and daughter to swim - just little tips to help the parental lessons. When I turned up without change for the pool lockers (it's a £1 coin), a member of staff took 90-something pence from me and told me not to worry about the pennies. The gym is good and personal trainers are available, and the main hall is used frequently for sporting tuition and markets. Even the canteen is pleasant with its view of the pool. Quibbles? The car park often gets rammed due to sheer popularity and you have to be at least 16 (I think) to look after another child in the swimming pool. This makes it a little awkward for me to take all three of our kids unless my wife joins us. Talking of kids, if you live in Glasgow make sure they sign up for their free "Kidz Card" as it gives whopping discounts here.

Firhill Complex (not to be confused with the football stadium up the road) consists of a hall space…read moreas well as football 5-a-side pitches. Having never been on the pitches I won't comment on these. The complex is easy to find off Maryhill Road, and has its own parking lot. Sometimes this can get quite busy but there is space on a gravel section where you can park if all the spots are gone. Walking through the car park, be sure to watch out for flying footballs from the pitches as this tends to happen quite a bit. Inside the building is pretty basic. There's a foyer area where people are always milling about, change rooms and toilets for getting ready. These areas are somewhat well kept, I think they could lift their game a little bit. The hall is the part I am most familiar with, and love for sentimental reasons. This is where I first started training to play roller derby so I have many happy memories from training here with Glasgow Roller Derby. I've been back a couple of times recently for extra training sessions. The hall isn't perfect by any stretch - the floor has some bolts and rough patches in part but generally it is kept clean and tidy. They're very prompt at closing at 10 so be sure to get yourself out and into your car quick smart - once all the lights in the car park are off, this area can seem a little scary.

As it is a sport and leisure facility aimed at local people it offers an extensive range of activities from football to yoga. The complex can accommodate individuals in the fitness room which also hosts exercise classes and it can also host doubles in badminton and short tennis. If you like a game of football then the large pitches can accommodate up to 100 people - lots of teams. I've been to some of the exercises classes and I really enjoyed them. The instructor was great; she worked the class hard but I left feeling fit and very proud of myself :-)

It is opposite Tramway and looks like a building site because, well, it is a building site. I believe the contractors have given it to the local community for a period of time. It is a work in progress and the organisers are responding to the requests of the community so there's a shed, a stage and various seating areas. Most are made from pallets as they want to recycle and be sustainable. Please don't wear heels or your best frock, boots and a warm coat are the fashion here. They've already had family and music events and tonight was the turn of Pollywood! We were treated to Indian dance before it was dark enough for an outdoor screening of The Lunchbox. If you were feeling chilly you could have sat round the campfire or, for a donation, eat some lovely fresh food or grabbed a coffee. They've events planned throughout the year so get it bookmarked and if you fancy creating an event please talk to them as they seem open to suggestions. PS did I mention it's outdoors? Don't forget that when you visit.

I cannot wait to see what this place is going to be like when it's fully open and fully installed…read more At the moment there are still big water cooler bottle things lying around everywhere, no TVs installed and I really wish that they would attach that one exercise contraption to the floor - I don't like the idea that I could fall over on top of you while you're exercising. However, that being said, it was about time that they extended the gym, and so far, it really has helped - unless you go at peak times and the sports teams are practicing and the changing rooms are stupidly full and all the weights are in use. My tiny little pet peeve, which you should know about, is that people will never put the weights back in their proper order, so be prepared to go on a hunt for matching weights. Also, the new floor exercise/stretching sections are always busy, and one of them is contained in milkglass - but with an opening which, if that's the mat you're training on, will make you feel incredibly on display! There is always a Trainer walking around, so if you have any questions about the exercises or if you want a new exercise to spice up your session, they will be able to help. Generally, the staff is very approachable and usually very friendly. I haven't attended any of the classes yet; they've introduced a new system of grabbing a little token which you then hand to the instructor. I have yet to find out how it works.

However, the magnificent building, situated near the University, is misleadingly-titled given that it is actually a fully-functioning leisure centre, with a gym, badminton courts, 5-a-side football pitches, Turkish suite, aerobics studio and a range of classes (some of which are also available to non-members). The pool remains the facility's main selling point and is situated in a truly grand hall lined with lovingly-restored balconies. Measuring 30ft, it is frequented by swimmers of all levels, as well as plenty of kids who love diving from the boards or swinging on the travelling rings and trapeze ropes. With the bar having recently had a lick of paint as well, the Western is an all-encompassing venue which many of the members consider to be a second home. For me, it'd probably turn into 600 quid a year for two games of 5s, but for the more dedicated among you, definitely worth checking out.

I've not been in any of the rest of the building so can only comment on the pool - I really like coaching here, the hall is beautiful, although it can get very warm standing at the side! Like other older baths, the Western baths has a trapeze and rings which I have never seen anyone use but you can watch on youtube if you want to see it done! Note the pool is 30 yards so a length will take you a bit longer than expected. To other coach type people, climbing the stairs up to the trapeze platform gives you an excellent alternative angle from which to watch people swim - best tip from last week!
