Strathclyde Sport

Positive experience: Amazing Sporting facility but closes too early on week-ends.

Positive experience: It's a great place but I am a bit ashamed of the fact that it is so big yet there are a limited number of exercise machines, especially the most popular ones. Almost always have to wait in queue for certain machines.

Fantastic experience: Excellent food and service in a very welcoming and comfortable hotel. Well recommend

Fantastic experience: One of the best Sports club in Glasgow

Negative experience: I signed up for the Strathclyde gym almost a year ago, and my experience has been disappointing. Despite my enthusiasm, I’ve only managed to use the facility about ten times due to several significant issues. Firstly, the gym’s operating hours are quite inconvenient, and it is not a 24-hour facility. This has made it challenging for me to find a time when I can train without the gym being overcrowded. Each time I went, it felt packed, and I often had to wait long periods just to use the equipment. This overcrowding made it nearly impossible to have a productive workout session. Another major downside is the temperature inside the gym. It is consistently too cold, making it uncomfortable to train. Instead of focusing on my workouts, I found myself feeling chilly and distracted, which is not ideal when you’re trying to push yourself. On a positive note, I must commend the cleanliness of the gym. It is well-maintained, and the staff and fellow gym-goers are generally polite and respectful. However, this doesn’t outweigh the negatives. Additionally, I find it unreasonable that members are charged if they do not show up for booked classes. This policy feels excessive and adds unnecessary stress to the gym experience. In summary, I would advise potential members to consider other options. Strathclyde gym is often overcrowded, has inconvenient hours, and can be quite chilly. For students, the cost is also on the higher side, and the potential for wasted money without effective training is a real concern. Overall, my experience has been frustrating, and I don’t think I’ll be renewing my membership.

Positive experience: Great facilities included with the price of membership. Everything is usually very modern and in working condition. Only downside is that the gym doesn't open before 7am on weekdays and at weekends there are limited opening hours.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for a long time, and I have loved it. Great staff, clean and tidy, and enough equipment to go around.

Positive experience: Looked really impressive

Fantastic experience: Good sports centre, very affordable for a student of Strathclyde university since it also allows for free entry to any clubs in the building. The gym is massive and there's a pool and a sauna!

Fantastic experience: Good gym with excellent facilities and good value for money if you are a Strathclyde student or student at another uni. Staff are friendly and approachable and the equipment is well maintained and of high quality. Can be quite busy and peak hours with queues forming behind some apparatus in the gym so it is wise to plan accordingly. Pool and sauna/steam rooms are lovely as well.

Fantastic experience: Good

Fantastic experience: Great courts for all your favourites!

Fantastic experience: Atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Literally the best gym you could find in glasgow

Positive experience: Its a nice place to train but the parking is a pain

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility with great pool and sauna facility

Positive experience: Big , light inside ,plenty windows don't feel like you're training in a dungeon like some gyms , every bit of equipment you need and more .

Fantastic experience: Love our University Sports arena... well built... Enjoy the swimming experience here..neat and clean pool

Fantastic experience: As a university gym, it can be a bit crowded at times but the facilities provided are second to none in Glasgow. A comprehensive weights section, loads of open space and easy to find cleaning materials for keeping things hygienic. The swimming pool is great. The steam and sauna rooms are excellent as well. The squash courts are also top notch. They're always in good condition and have great lighting.

Fantastic experience: Very clean swimming pool, nice sauna

Fantastic experience: It was really nice place and clean with nice staffs

Fantastic experience: All staff are super, very helpful and friendly. Facilities are top notch. Classes are brilliant. It even hosts physio consult sessions with experts from Hampden Sports Clinic. They always have many initiatives good for the body and mind, like the menopause yoga and body conditioning classes for Uni staff #Shona, #Lindsey, or the girls night-in. Strathclyde Sport is a shining gem of the University!!!

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Great facility and the staff are friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: I was playing table tennis there at Strathclyde University home. It was generally good, except for the noise of fencing. The floor is good for table tennis.

Fantastic experience: Got a 10 day pass while staying here for two weeks. Was mainly there to use the sauna. It is shared and also very nice. They have a wet and dry sauna next to the pool. Great place. I believe the 10 day pay was like 30£ or something. Great deal and very clean facility.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and fitness area

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to enjoy all workouts , fitness and many more. The gym ️‍♀️ is superb

Fantastic experience: Went in specifically for squash, they have two courts which were very well maintained as was the whole facility. If you don't have rackets then you can rent them for £1 per racket.

Positive experience: Not bad, too much of crowd

Negative experience: Good gym with a lot of space and equipment, nicely laid out. However it is hugely oversubscribed meaning that longs waits are inevitable even at “non-peak” times. There are 10 squat racks but every time i’ve been Ive had to wait about 20 mins + to use and that’s already with 2 people sharing each one. The benches with dumbbells, and the cable machines are also very popular so it is hard to get a workout in if you are tight for time. The benches are pretty uncomfortable and seem to be lacking any padding which makes it difficult to lift as heavy as in other gyms. 5-7 pm is allegedly busiest but i find from 2 onwards it’s hard to get a workout done in time. 90% of the time it’s too busy and it’s pretty demotivating trying to finish a workout in this environment.

Fantastic experience: Best facility in Glasgow city centre. Period. If you’re a Strathclyde student. You should look no further as they are literally on campus and have everything under one roof.

Fantastic experience: A high quality Gum but it is usually busy during 5:30-8 PM.

Positive experience: To note ..finding parking is not easy

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility. Pool brilliant and the gym is one of the best I've ever seen. It's huge. Plenty of machines and never waiting on weights. Love it

Negative experience: The opening hours don't work well. The team should look into changing them. Other parts can stick to the current hours, but the gym should stay open longer.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, clean, modern, bright gym on 4 levels with everything you could possibly want in a gym. Something for everyone.

Positive experience: Good facility, nice staff.

Fantastic experience: The swimming pool was nice and moist, albeit not quite deep enough in the shallow end if your height is around 6"8'. Trans-friendly too.

Fantastic experience: Great pool, with sauna & steamroom, and nice showers. Stays open til 10pm monday to friday which is handy. Place is always immaculate and staff are super helpful & friendly.

Positive experience: Great gym with a wide selection of well-maintained facilities. Only complaint is they play music very loudly, so headphones needed!

Fantastic experience: one of the best sport centers in the world!

Fantastic experience: Very good facilities and inspiring fellows around you.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, with top of the range facilities, knowledgeable staff, plenty to keep you occupied and as good if not better than the most expensive gyms in Glasgow.

Fantastic experience: I recently assisted with the delivery of a large fitness event at Strathclyde Sport and have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the venue. The staff on the day were extremely helpful and professional. They made light work of the setup of the hall, assisted with guiding almost 100 people into the hall and were on hand throughout the day to assist with any issues. The venue is modern, very clean, packed with halls and equipment for various sports and fitness activities, and was easily accessible for our attendees with various disabilities and mobility issues. I'll definitely be in touch for future events.

Fantastic experience: Excellent on every leave and the staff are amazingly good.

Fantastic experience: It’s an amazing gym with amazing installations, The atmosphere there is very energetic. It also has a swimming pool and distal, basketball and squash court but still needs more machines.

Fantastic experience: Attended for Scottish Student judo championships and was really impressed with facilities and welcoming staff.

Fantastic experience: The best time to workout is in the morning before the classes

Fantastic experience: The best gym in UK

Fantastic experience: Great place!

Fantastic experience: Good facilities and good price

Fantastic experience: Gym is pretty and visiting teams are allowed to use the gym to warmup xx Stirling Uni could never

Positive experience: Great facility, and friendly stff. However, some parts of the facility, e.g sauna and steam room, are closed most of the time for maintenance. I dunno how long it takes to get them fixed ⌚. It seems there is something wrong with the sauna and steam room.

Fantastic experience: One place for all sports

Fantastic experience: Overall it’s a great gym (for me). I like that it has one joint area for free weights, machines, cardio, etc. There’s also squash court which are in very good condition. There’s also basket ball court, a swimming pool and badminton courts but I haven’t used those so can’t say much. All available classes and facilities are included in the membership which is quite reasonable. Since it’s a university gym there’s a fair bit of people there all the time but you’ll be able to do anything you want without waiting outside peak times. The men’s locker room is big and clean.

Fantastic experience: Very comfortable environment with variety of sports to choose from Rage of rooms

Fantastic experience: Well maintained sport mechanics and amazing atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great school, wonderful facilities

Fantastic experience: One of the best places to relax and rejuvenate in the University of Strathclyde. The Gym is a state of art with all the equipment you need, the swimming is the best part of the sports complex with the steam and sauna, the yoga classes are the great way to relax.

Easy on the knees and impact... Not seen squash courts. Swimming pool not been but looks good. Gym looks ok and reasonable machines and exercise tools. Not seen changing rooms. Prices are reasonable. It seems always clean and well looked after. Staff is helpful and curtious.

Fantastic experience: I love it it's wonderful every things are perfect.

Fantastic experience: It’s spacious and good for the students as well as outsiders.

Negative experience: Very rude staff

Negative experience: DON’T COME ON SUNDAY’S !!!! The staff are very rude. I Have been coming to this gym for nearly 1 year now and I have had barely any issues. I get on very well with the staff. However today I made the unfortunate mistake of coming to play badminton between 3-4 with a group of my friends. 3 of them came slightly late. So a man with a walkie-talky came up the stairs to the badminton courts to tell me that as a member I cannot bring more than 3 people in to the court with me. Even if they pay to come in. Very strange seeming that non-members can play provided that they pay. The way that he approached me made me think that I had comitted a crime. I was very tacken a back. Moreover, we decided to play a little longer past 4 o’clock. Usually other people who are waiting to play will come onto the court to tell us to come off. This time they told the people at reception and a staff member came up to us in order to reprimand us. I offered to pay any fine I had to but instead she said very patronisingly that we should apologise. It was as if we were children. It was extremely condescending. At the end my friend gave back a shuttlecock that we had borrowed and the same staff member shot him a brazen look of disscontempt which I found very disrespectful. I will be telling my other friends who are members at this gym about this experience and will offer them to play badminton somewhere else!

Fantastic experience: Refreshing place.. Must suggested for health enthusiasts!

Fantastic experience: Good facilties for Olympic weightlifting

Fantastic experience: Place is spotless staff helpfully Brilliant range of equipment and plenty of it

Fantastic experience: Within hospital reach. Great staff. Well equipped gym floor.

Fantastic experience: Amazing and clean equipments

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym

Negative experience: The older manager with creepy yellow glasses (but he did not wear his glasses recently...) always spying on us and ask the staff reported our movements (like how many people we have and how many people should leave the building). And he also threated us to leave (even we wanted to do more exercise in gym) otherwise he will ban our entrance right for a month. Besides, we said we want to talk with the operation manager, but he said he is the manager and nobody will talk with us and his operation manager will unhappy to talk with us... From our point of view, we think he is discrimination and just spying on us everytime he was there...

Negative experience: Creepy duty manager with the creepy yellow glasses. He is clearly racist. Asking us leaving the building. Because he suspected that we had booked two hours court without any evidence. And threatened to ban us from entering. I’ve already complained once and he’s probably holding a grudge. To be honest, the facility and other staff are impeccable.

Fantastic experience: The gym is superb. Well equipped. Large space. Lots of great kit. Fabulous fitness class time table and instructor's. Nice pool with a sauna and steam room.

Fantastic experience: Tremendous sport club

Fantastic experience: Modern facilities, clean and well organised

Positive experience: Great facilities with a dedicated weights room plus all the cardio and strength machines you could think of and helpful friendly staff. Only complaint I could make is that it can often be very busy and you may struggles to get onto some of the more on demand stations.

Fantastic experience: Clean space nice equipment and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Definately the best in city❤️

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Nice facilities. The only thing I wanna suggest is to get one more bench press. Overall, I am satisfied with the environment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! My only con is they aren’t open earlier at the weekend but that’s only because I enjoy coming here so much sometimes it can be a little busy but again, it’s because it’s such a good gym.

Fantastic experience: Great facility for fitness as well as general public access. Swim, stream room and sauna a must. Staff all amazing too.

Positive experience: Staff really helpful and friendly
