five gates fitness

Fantastic experience: I honestly loved my time at Five Gates! Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming—it really feels like a community. The trainers are all super knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping you reach your goals. Highly recommend Five Gates to anyone looking for a supportive gym with fab people and top-notch training.

Fantastic experience: Great lunchtime workout with Gemma today!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. The coaches are brilliant,knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. But what really stands out is how welcoming and inclusive the environment is. From day one, I felt like part of the community. It’s not just about fitness here; it’s about people. I’ve already recommended it to friends, and I’ll keep doing so.

Fantastic experience: Loving my experiences at Five Gates with Marin and his team. What sets Five Gates apart is its proactive sense of community. It's not just about individual goals; it's about progressing alongside peers who are equally motivated. This collective energy creates an atmosphere where personal achievements feel even more rewarding, as you share the journey with others. Whether you’re lifting weights, attending a class, or simply catching your breath, there’s a sense of camaraderie that makes every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for a gym that combines professionalism, inclusivity, and support, Five Gates Gym is the perfect choice.

Fantastic experience: I joined Five Gates more than three years ago and it's been the best decision I've made for my health, fitness and well-being. The coaches are really great, the atmosphere is welcoming and the members are friendly. Life is busy, so I love not having to plan my own exercise - just turn up for an extremely well planned and supported workout, that really does improve my strength and fitness. Since joining, I've improved and pushed myself in ways I never did when exercising alone. If you're worried about joining a gym, this is the one for you! You can work hard, within your own limits, and be guided and supported by great members and coaches.

Fantastic experience: Great full body workout session with both Andy and Martin at Five Gates at the Group PT sessions. Always a nice, friendly, group that doesn't feel intimidating at all. Trainers are good at checking in on form, which is important for me as I have terrible coordination . Feel sore after it (in a good way), definitely making a difference. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: For anyone nervous to join - truly don’t be. Having been in and out of gyms for years, even working at one and trying different PT’s, weight up and down and nervous to join any new gym or class etc - Five Gates is completely unique to what I have experienced before. I wanted to wait until I’d ‘seen results’ before posting a review as I am a new member, but the immediate result for me personally (incomparable to any form of inches lost or the scales reducing, albeit I know that will be a definite byproduct) is that I look forward to the sessions and I know whilst there I will be in a completely safe and supportive space, both with fellow members and also the coaches. It’s completely diverse in terms of capability, fitness levels, gender, body shape and yet the coaches ensure that the workouts are suitable, challenging enough and achievable for all. Everyone I’ve met so far employed by Five Gates, is so far away from the stereotypical ‘PT’ that I have ever met or worked with and really are coaches - kind, welcoming, supportive and also there to push you within safe psychological and physical parameters (translated: no one is screaming at you to do 10 more push ups boot camp style!).

Positive experience: Nobody was there.

Fantastic experience: 5 star training programs - they really know their stuff. Add in the little coaching tips in every session and it’s a fantastic way to stay consistent and get stronger and more mobile. Friendly, personal service too

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of various corporate gyms for over 35 years. I joined Five Gates in December 2021 when it opened and have remained since. The group classes are small (max 10), allowing great guidance from instructors. There's a variety of equipment and many classes fitting busy schedules. The environment is supportive, fostering a lovely community among members and instructors. Strength training at Five Gates has significantly benefited me. Now in my mid-50s, I've learned a lot and feel much stronger. For a friendly place to get fit and strong, try out Five Gates.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to five gates for over a year now and can see a huge improvement in my strength and overall fitness. The depth of knowledge and experience of the coaches is excellent, not only do you feel very welcome, they are great at giving tips and advice to improve performance. It’s a great atmosphere and the community of members are fab! I love that they offer strength, conditioning and cardio. For anyone considering starting out but unsure about not being fit enough or strong enough yet, I’d say go for it, it’s a safe and supportive environment to start from!

Fantastic experience: I’m 57, post menopausal and have been training at Five Gates for 15 months and could not enjoy it more. The sessions can be tough, but they are so well planned by Martin and his team, you know they’re worth the effort. I have gained much more strength and stability that it’s setting me up for far better aging and most importantly, an active retirement. The range of class times whether it be functional training, Pilates, Yoga or a great cardio session in boxing/kettlebells, it’s easy to plan your workouts in for the week. Not only has my physical strength improved, so has my mental health. Brain fog has lifted, I have a group of like-minded individuals surrounding me as we encourage each other. Martin and his team have built something very special at Five Gates.

Fantastic experience: Very highly recommended. I absolutely love this gym and the amazing community within it. I had been going to a local gym and struggling with any motivation. I was a bit nervous to join but within my first session I knew it was a great choice. The coaches and members were all so welcoming, I felt like I had been a member for years. The classes are so well structured and with a great variety of class times I’m able to get an incredible workout any day of the week. I’ve finally got my motivation to exercise back and I’m loving it.

Fantastic experience: Fab training studio and community - really enjoying the coaching and the challenge of new movements - and the energy in the group keeps you going. Highly recommended :)

Fantastic experience: I was nervous when I first started at Five Gates, as I hadn’t really trained at a gym for a number of years. In a short space of time, morning sessions have become a normal part of my weekday routine. The coaches are all very supportive and help you get the most out of your session and avoid injuries. There is always a buzz about the place and I can say with absolute confidence that I’ve never left a session without feeling much better for the day ahead.

Fantastic experience: Visited for the first time today and what an Aladdin’s cave of wonders! Top class equipment in a fantastic supportive atmosphere. The instructors are friendly and encouraging, regardless of your ability. Thanks so much, I will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Five Gates has been the only gym I genuinely enjoy. It’s such a welcoming and friendly environment to train in and the atmosphere during sessions is always spot on and you leave on a high feeling positive. From the high level of professionalism and expertise of the coaches to the fellow members who all support each other regardless of where they’re at on their fitness journey, it’s a great community to be part of. I wouldn’t even consider training anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I joined Five Gates in the west end of Glasgow around 6 months ago after seeking an overhaul for my fitness & health. I contacted Martin (the owner) on Instagram for a trial and he booked me in the next day - I was blown away. It’s a truly friendly gym environment and the workouts are challenging but manageable - everything is explained and I’ve been supported at every step in achieving my goals. Joining Five Gates has 100% improved my overall zest for life, my appearance (lost over 2 stones), my fitness, my mobility and most importantly being part of this community has improved my mental health. It possibly the best thing I’ve ever done for myself! The coaches are so patient and knowledgeable and my initial apprehension about joining a small group class was quickly replaced with excitement for my next session. There are loads of sessions to choose from (via a handy app!) - I usually go 3 times a week and mix between the small group PT strength sessions and rounds (which is a brilliant cardio session!). I’ve recommended Five Gates to all of my friends, some of whom have now joined too! Thank you so much for creating such an incredible gym - people certainly do make Five Gates! Highly recommend popping in for a trial if anyone is thinking about changing or improving their health and fitness. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I was never a gym guy, in fact my only 'workouts' were playing drums and cycling at a leisurely pace. Then my wife said 'come to Five Gates, give it a try'. I haven't looked back since. It's been 9 months and I could not love it more. The workouts are demanding but they go by fast. I feel great after each one. The trainers are amazing, the people are friendly and I feel like I have a little community in my newly adopted city of Glasgow. Could not recommend it more.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere and facilities at Five Gates Fitness are brilliant - high energy, positive and really welcoming; every last detail has been thought of. The workouts themselves, whilst tough, cater for everyone, so you can scale up or down depending how you feel. Given the small class sizes, the coaching is bespoke so you really notice you are being looked after. I have trained in many gyms but I really can’t recommend Five Gates enough, give it a shot, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: There is no better place to workout in Glasgow! I’ve been coming to five gates for nearly a year, and my strength and fitness levels are night and day from where I started. The workouts are challenging but Martin and his team are always ready with an adjustment and an encouraging word. The community Martin has built is unrivalled in their kindness and positivity. You’ll never regret showing up for yourself or a workout here.

Fantastic experience: I’ve struggled on/off over the years with my fitness usually having an “all or nothing” approach. Five Gates has completely changed my mindset for the better. It is the only gym I’ve ever been to where I look forward to the workouts and feel consistently motivated because the Rounds (boxing/kettlebells) routines change weekly and Group PT routines monthly. Yoga class is tailored to stretches to help recover from the specific muscle groups used during the Rounds sessions that week. All of the trainers are so amazing - knowledgeable, friendly, patient and want you to get the best from your session. The sessions have a maximum of 6 or 10 people, I love this as I’ve had the opportunity to meet new people with similar goals who are all super friendly and supportive. I never in a million years thought I would enjoy exercise which included boxing and strength training. Week on week I notice little improvements in myself physically and mentally that is life changing. Can’t say enough good things about Five Gates - it’s the best :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Five Gates for 18 months now and have never felt healthier or stronger. Martin’s created a brilliant community feel within the gym that welcomes all abilities. Great place!

Fantastic experience: Five gates is a must if looking for a fun and welcoming fitness community. I love how much stronger I have become and the trainers are second to none. I feel comfortable and have so much more body confidence in myself. Everyone is so encouraging and makes you feel at ease. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I love this class, so much so I travel 40 minutes most Saturday mornings to take part in the 8am class (mad, I know!) Martin is super knowledgeable and the energy and atmosphere in the place is brilliant! If I lived closer, I’d go all the time. Thankyou Five Gates for helping me start my weekends feeling great!

Fantastic experience: Five Gates is without a doubt the best gym I have ever been a member of. Each trainer has taught me so much from weight training to yoga, and I always feel like such a valued individual when I turn up to a class. I always look forward to the classes and leave feeling energised. The people and facilities are faultless, and the overall energy that the gym has is like no other. Despite being a younger member, I always felt extremely welcomed. I’ll really miss Five Gates but will be back one day to see the expanding gym and all of the people I got to know - best of luck Martin and everyone else, Fives Gates really has an exciting future

Fantastic experience: Nothing but positive things to say about Five Gates Fitness. The trainer Martin is excellent. Due to the small size of the classes (10 max per class), he is able to spend time with you individually and give you good guidance throughout the workouts. The classes are intense: you always feel great after them. Highly recommended. Five stars for Five Gates.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, friendly and unique gym in the West End of Glasgow. Group sessions are a great mix of boxing, functional equipment and body weight training and are guaranteed to get you a fantastic full body work out.

To top it off the gym even has it's own Green Policy. Love this place - five stars all round.

Fantastic experience: This is small group training at it's best. Martin has created a real community feel with Five Gates Fitness. The workouts are tough, but they are so much fun.

Prepare to sweat, learn new techniques and leave with a smile of your face.

Fantastic experience: Five gates fitness is equipped with top of the range kettlebells, free weights and boxing equipment, the owner Martin is always enthusiastic and encouraging whilst helping me reach my fitness goals with his incredible knowledge of exercises, technique and building confidence. Comfortable and friendly environment for anyone wanting to achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: A really cool modern workout space with fantastic workouts mixing boxing and kettlebells. It feels different to any other class I’ve done before and with the classes being small it means you get help with your technique to get the most from your workout. It is a tough but you feel amazing after it and know you’ve had a great full body workout.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym in Glasgow's west end. Martin,the owner, really knows his stuff, his classes helped me regain fitness and strength after an injury. A lovely, friendly bunch of folk (and awesome tunes too!)

Fantastic experience: Five Gates is a brilliant gym. The workouts are really intense and I’ve noticed my fitness improve dramatically.
