Fantastic experience: Really loved it! The staff are helpful and friendly. They directed me on how to watch full induction video since it was my first time using the gym of this size. The gym is well equipped, I must say, and they take hygiene seriously. Awesome place

G McRobbie. 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place and well equipped. Lots of variety ranging from gym to climbing wall and good pool. Also runs classes for cardiac rehab and other things. Not too expensive and certainly less so than "commercial" gyms. Staff seem to be well trained, again much better than typical "gym bunny" people. Thoroughly recommend ✔️

Suganya Sebastian 3 years ago

Negative experience: Very cheating they took the payment for the swimming classes and didn't message any details about class timing and dates.when enquired about this.They speak irresponsible especially the swimming coordinator and the receptionist. Asking the child to use the pool alone without any trainer when i say my child does not know swimming. Further I asked to cancel all the session and asked to refund the money.She said I still have to pay for one more session. why should we when my child does not take any classes from them.What kind of day robbery it is.

Fantastic experience: Value for money, great facilities, I have only used the gym hall swimming pool and coffee shop but there is also indoor climbing and bouldering, a gym and some dance studios. Clean modern place. The pool is colder than most but it's fine once you are in. The gym hall splits in to 3 but you can hire the whole area. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Graeme Rennie 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: A fantastic facility shared between university and community. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent facilities although choice of music in cardio gym is sometimes a bit suspect. It is a place that accommodates absolute beginners and international performers. Staff worked tirelessly once the facility was allowed to reopen following the lockdown. A great value membership with none of the complications or pressures often heard being associated with private clubs and facilities. Post lockdown and into a new session I wouldn't change my original thoughts. Well done people!

Conor McConnach 8 years ago

Positive experience: I'm sorry, but paying £5 for a 13 year old who trying to get to the bball courts (A HALF COURT MIGHT I ADD) as much as possible is a bit of a joke. Maybe it's just me. But I'm paying for the courts myself, I don't have a job! And the basketball courts 2&3 are not correctly sized which annoys someone trying to work on specific shots.

Dear Mr Harris, I would first of all like to thank you for your feedback regarding pricing of a basketball court at RGU SPORT and secondly apologise for your dissatisfaction. We review our prices regularly as such we believe our sports hall prices for basketball are comparable with other providers in the city. Below are some pricing options for half-court basketball which I hope may be more suitable for your 13 year old. Peak booking £5.00 Off peak booking £3.80 (Off Peak times Monday-Friday 0600-1600; Sat-Sun 0900-1900) We also offer a Pay As You Go Membership which consists of a £30 annual fee and then a discounted activity rate for each visit - £3.80 (peak time) or £2.50 (off peak time). We are aware that halls one and two don’t have some of the lines required for some specific shots and we apologise for this however Sports hall 1 is appropriately sized and lined. Therefore can I suggest that when making the booking you request sports hall 1. It is not guaranteed that this court will always be available but please be assured that the staff on shift will try to accommodate your request where possible. Kind regards, Ruth

MrBurius 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Despite being at the campus, its really for everybody who wants to come, not just for students. The facilities are amazing and there is a kind of feeling of community, we are all friends and always new people joining us. not that sensation that people just want to show off their muscles like in other gyms. Recommended.

Samuel Morris 12 years ago

Negative experience: It was a bit of disappointment. Not enough facilities and little space. It got pretty crowded at some point and training was useless. They could make an improvement of the equipment.

Liam Harper 13 years ago

Negative experience: Not a huge gym with a limited selection of machines. Very expensive for non-students/alumni, considering what's on offer, though swimming and climbing are included in the full membership. I was treated very rudely by a member of staff when he was at fault, then another member of staff defended his rudeness, claiming it was "just his accent". Ridiculous. Hopefully the exception rather than the rule.
