Fantastic experience: The Club Gym is a great wee fitness centre, it has all the equipment you could need, free weights, resistance machines and Cardio machines, and mat space for those all important stretches (which i need to do more off!). The staff are very welcoming and on hand to assist, support you with your goals. There are a variety of classes to pick from and a great wee running group that meet Saturday mornings. There is a real sense of belonging and not just being "another customer". I've met some great people since joining, staff and fellow members alike, and I would thoroughly recommend The Club Gym to all

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Davina and her team puts a lot of efforts and joy into animating this friendly gym, which supports its members into their healthy, sporty habits. Free classes and a good range of machines in a neighbouring location makes it the perfect recipe for finally moving my fat to the bikes and weight area.

Fantastic experience: As I'm unfit and somewhat phobic about young people with hot bods looking askance at my old person, lumpy bod (think Granny from Sylvester and Tweety Pie), I have long eschewed gyms in favour of bookshops, museums and patisseries. Gyms, I thought, were not the place for me. Ronnie Corbett joked you know you're old when you bend over to retrieve something from the floor then pause to look around since you're down there anyway. I joined The Club because I was a few packets of Jaffa Cakes and a bad Antiques Roadshow habit away from resorting to Stannah Stairlifts, baths with wee doors, and tartan shopping trolleys (God knows, the social media algorithms already try to flog me Funeral Plans and what's with the 'One simple trick to completely empty the bowels' ? It involves bananas although whether by ingestion or rectal insertion is not clear). This gym is many of the things that matter to me: - inclusive - non-judgemental - non-ageist - safe - gracious, friendly and helpful - and spotlessly clean - especially important just now. Oh sure, there are people with hot bods pumping heavy weights at The Club but I've had a routine designed to meet my needs and no one bats an eyelid if I take my time setting up - and no one (so far) has fainted at the sight of me in Lycra. Not only am I doing three classes a week and using the equipment, I actually enjoy visiting the gym. Buns of steel may yet elude me but if I really, really wanted them (I don't) The Club would go all out to assist. I thoroughly recommend The Club.
