Bannatyne Health Club

Negative experience: I am a member of Bannatyne’s Livingston. In general it’s “ok” but the men’s changing rooms are a complete state. Always rubbish and debris all over the floor especially in showers. The showers themselves (in mens changing I don’t know about women’s) are stinking. First smell that comes to mind is urinal smell then it’s like a mouldy smell absolutely unpleasant experience showering there. The actual changing room is also a state. Extremely dated old wood lockers bits worn and broken. You would think that charging £50 a month to everyone that goes there would merit an update but no. Staff are friendly though which is one of the only positives and the actual gym floor is usually clean enough and tidy. It’s the changing rooms and showers though. So much so I’m looking for a new gym. If I am paying a premium I expect premium facilities.

Fantastic experience: Another enjoyable aqua class with coffee afterwards.

Negative experience: It was a really good gym years ago however they’ve not upgraded any equipment or nothing. Most of the equipment has rust on them and treadmills have broken air condition bits. Water stations don’t all work and the only one that’s working has moss all over the tap! I highly wouldn’t recommend anyone to join unless you join for a month to try and see yourself how bad it’s. It took them 3 years at least to fill the massive halls all over the car park !!! Most of the staff are friendly tho.

Fantastic experience: It is very good gym and spa to join, it is really good. It is really good value for the money you pay.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, staff are really friendly, not the biggest but everything you could need

Fantastic experience: Nice place

Negative experience: Really poor facilities for the price theyre asking. Showers with silicone coming off, the wall panels broken and old, soap dispesers old and dirty, thus Place needs a full renovation, outdated furtniture and not very clean. Why do they not clean with normal cleaning solution and pour chlorine everywhere? When you enter the pool the odour of chlorine hits you and I get itchy skin from swimming in the pool. You cannot even enjoy the jacuzzi as its hard to breath due to the strong chlorine! Just awful, very outdated and poorly managed. The members are allowed to be rude to other members and the manager does not do anything about it. Plus, where is the promotion of healthy lifestyle in the cafe area where all you can see is chocolate!!! This place needs new management and a revised vision and values

Fantastic experience: We joined today... Excellent friendly staff I liked the male cleaner his character was awesome friendly and a fun guy, A very spacious gym with good condition gym equipment.. thanks Fiona for showing us around you were friendly and professional you have a fantastic team.. thanks to you all and we are looking forward to our next visit...

Positive experience: It’s good but not the best I think overpriced compare to David Lloyd , some areas need renovation, also would be nice to change the carpets - they don’t smell nice , between 4-7 pm not recommended, the gym is packed no space no available cardio machines , pool is super busy so as sauna and steam room

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: Top visit

Negative experience: SPEND THE EXTRA GO TO DAVID LLOYD Charging a premium monthly payment for a tired and obsolete establishment. The place is worn and in dire need of refurbishing top to bottom. From the grout in the tiles to something as simple as fixing the only freezing cold shower. In the words of founder Duncan Banntyne “im out”.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, very welcoming and regardless of fitness levels you feel comfortable in the gym environment.

Negative experience: Smallest gym area in Livingston, half the size of JD & Pure gym the yet almost 3 times more expensive, it’s also the only locked in yearly contract the others are monthly cancel anytime memberships. It does have the sauna over the others but if your goal is purely fitness then there are much better and cheaper options. You can get a full months membership elsewhere for the price of a single day pass here.

Negative experience: Sad to be giving this gym a 2 star because the staff are extremely friendly and really are what makes this place. However, since the local gyms closed, this facility has gotten way too busy. For close to two years I would attend this pool 5 times a week. But now everyone I come it’s absolutely rammed. Often having to wait for showers, spaces in the sauna and lanes to become clear. Shame.

Fantastic experience: Great gym super friendly and professional staff.

Fantastic experience: Nice staff, very clean, quality equipment

Positive experience: I have my son for football and he has learned a lot during his sessions I really recommend this place for kids

Fantastic experience: Great club great equipment

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff ! Clean ! :) The Yoga and Pilates instructors are very good! Love this place!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, clean, good range of facilities. Probably caters a little bit more towards CV than weights but that's OK.

Fantastic experience: Good place

Negative experience: I've had to change my review. I think in January there should be extra gym sessions as I haven't been able to get on anything at all which is mainly why I use my membership (so I just feel like I'm completely wasting my money). I go weekly to pilates for many, many months but haven't got into any sessions since the end of December, despite logging in 5 minutes after the class sign up goes live. Or there system is down from too many people booking. This gym is a waste of money don't bother going.

Fantastic experience: Great gym Got everything you need . Swimming pool steam room sauna Lockers and clean of gym is in high standart !!! Amazing staff as well. 5STAR/!!!!?

Fantastic experience: Great gym with many classes to choose from. Gym is clean and fully equipped. Friendly staff and a nice pool.

Fantastic experience: Lovely friendly staff, the pool is great and always clean, gym is great too

Fantastic experience: Only visited to charge my car, very friendly and welcoming. Great staff.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for years and there is a consistently high level of service and excellent equipment wherever and whichever gym you visit (Falkirk, Livingston and Burton all used)

Positive experience: Nicest gym in the area as it's the only one with pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. That's the major benefit of the place. The gym is pretty standard and small, but spa facilities are nice and clean. Lots of classes and friendly staff. Only 3 stars because of the below, a few positive recommendations for improvement... -Please have music without adverts. The same adverts every 20 mins is turning my brain to mush, if I hear that m&m advert one more time I might turn into one. -Please have more vegan and health options at cafe, there is currently only one vegan option and pretty much no fresh healthy options. -Opening times are pretty sad, closes too early, especially at weekends and the Xmas holiday times are shockingly poor. -A wee sneaky ice bath wouldn't go a miss

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and staff

Negative experience: rubbish gym with a stupid cancellation policy. id rather be fat than exercise here

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facilities

Negative experience: I would urge you to get a membership anywhere else. The showers go from freezing cold to burning hot with no warning and does this constantly. For a so called heated pool it is always extremely cold and normally full of children doing swim classes at the most inconvenient times. The sauna and water fountains are almost always not working. The weights room is full of treadmills and not much else. After you cancel your membership they will try and collect fees which they can give no indication as to why you owe. I would strongly recommend you get a membership anywhere else, this is a complete waste of money and time.

Fantastic experience: Lovely food and great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Fitba crazy fitba mad .hatrick asda be that way .

Fantastic experience: Michelle has been brilliant and resolved any queries and issues I've had in the past and I've been eternally greatful for all the assistance I've been given at this gym. The spa facilities have been great and the gym is clean and spacious. A very positive vibe.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant

Negative experience: Disgusting customer service. Sudden passing of my mother left me wishing to cancel my membership. Colleague who answered the call didn't even acknowledge my berevment and just demanded 28days notice in writing. The manager Gary known to me would not return calls. Contact only made once I cancled my direct debit. Gary now the regional manager still unavalibile or uninterested. Eventually on the fourth occasion the general. Manager was avalibile to speak with.

Negative experience: Called to enquire about the swimming pool facilities as I had intention to join the the Gym. The customer service advisor initially laughed when I spelt my surname. I was offered a call back with more details about the swimming pool and this didn't not happen.

Fantastic experience: Love Bannatynes health club The staff are amazing and it's a peaceful and friendly place to workout

Fantastic experience: Great staff

Fantastic experience: I'm in.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous gym. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic experience: Found myself in Livingston needing to kill some time and as a member elsewhere thought I’d take advantage of the member benefit to use other gyms. Very friendly welcoming staff, large clean changing area and a nice pool. Not too busy and not too hot for once. All in all a great experience.

Fantastic experience: Super cheap and available 5 a sides at £2.50 per player it's perfect

Fantastic experience: As someone who has been a member of the Bannatynes gym in Livingston since it opened, I want to congratulate Gary and all the team for the work they have done and continue to do in ensuring that the gym is fully compliant with all covid guidelines so that members feel safe to come and use the facilities and the gym remains open. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming and everyone works hard to ensure that all members have a positive experience every time they attend the gym or a class. The level of experience that the gym instructors have and their advice plus instruction that they give is first class. I really really missed the gym and classes during lockdown and it is great to be back.

Fantastic experience: Great club with a warm friendly atmosphere with great facilities.59 year old overweight male here praising the team for their enthusiasm and commitment.After only one Aqua fit class my long standing knee problem completely disappeared allowing me to attend twice weekly for the last 4 weeks.My fitness level is loads better,I'm sleeping better and my general health has improved greatly. Lots more to investigate re classes etc but I''d recommend this place to anyone.Thanks a million Bannatyne Livingston team.

Fantastic experience: Stopped outside here to help 2 older ladies who's fiesta had broken down. Never been in the health club. I'm sure its lovely.

Fantastic experience: The staff are just the best

Fantastic experience: Few years since last post, current Manager and staff brilliant, keeping us safe. So supportive and always willing to help. Gary credit to his team and members. We get so much from gym, exercise, social and wellbeing. Thanks to all Carol and Brian Ritchie

Negative experience: Mask exemption discrimination. Rude staff

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and excellent facilities

Fantastic experience: Fantastic club, great instructors.

Negative experience: Used to be best club in the area, however after they've reopened it is not worth to go there. Couple of lockers available (if so), lack of equipment, no air conditioning in the main gym. Good thing is that the gym is very clean now, however, you don't feel comfy there anymore stressig out if you have to wear a mask or not. If you think to join the club now, I would recommend you to wait until they will be back to normal operation, otherwise you won't enjoy it at all :). Frozen my contract for couple of months, will see how will it looks like next year.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, kind staff and good facilities

Negative experience: I would not recommend this gym. The customer service by some of the “staff” is appalling. They don’t seem to have a clue what they are doing and show no interest when a complaint is made. I have had very bad service from Livingston and personally I could never recommend using them.

Positive experience: A very relaxing pool area, with lots of other equipment to make you sweat.

Positive experience: A nice well laid out building which is clean and tidy . Cafe food slightly below average .

Positive experience: Pool could be warmer and changing rooms need more cubicles and more heating

Fantastic experience: Great to be back at Bannatynes, temperature test taken on entry, clear instructions given for use of pool and gym areas, plenty of signs re social distancing and cleaners constantly cleaning. The constant cleaning is not new , this was always in place before COVID and with all this staff still as friendly and happy to see everyone return.

Negative experience: Expensive and very little stuff for kids

Negative experience: It's more like a social thing for 35+ age. Not much fitness equipment which you can get at other gyms for 1/3 of that price. Sauna and steam where never maintained properly as the old wood and other issues which for the amount of money they get from people should do some repairs. Staff where friendly except the tattoo girl on steroids! Very rude! Keep story short if you are young and ambitious and want to really workout dont join here as this is kind of the last chance for 35+ of age who wants to stay in chapel but always ends up joining the sauna or steam! Oh and the amount they charge you monthly I can join 3gyms at the same time!

Fantastic experience: Nice Avenue to relax and exercise

Positive experience: before putting cancellation notice would advise everyone to read following clause: Please refer to clause 7.1 of the membership agreement as detailed below. (7.1) Where you have a good reason for ending the contract. You may end the contract between us by giving us not less than 30 days' written notice at any time, such notice to expire on the last day of the following month. Therefore cancellation received on the 3rd July would not cancel the membership until the end of August as per your terms and conditions agreed upon joining. It's all sorted now

Fantastic experience: Reception staff very polite, informative and welcoming. Will definitely recommend the Livingston branch.

Negative experience: not reccomended Horible prices :)) 15$ for a day pass what ?? was 10 ...

Positive experience: Not overly busy and staff helpful and friendly. Good variety of fitness options.

Fantastic experience: Staff and venue are all top class

Negative experience: Don't even ask

Fantastic experience: good value day passes

Fantastic experience: Good as always

Fantastic experience: My local gym and I’ve been a member for years. Very clean and well looked after.

Fantastic experience: Pretty good. Pretty cool. The pool, sauna, hot tub and steam room are all great facilities. Gym is great though there could be more bench press racks. There's currently only one bench rack and one incline bench rack. Everything you'd expect is here. The cafe is cozy too.

Positive experience: Good range of equipment, excellent staff (especially the 30min sessions incl in membership). Changing area requires a refresh but otherwise adequate.

Positive experience: Nice facilities but bit costly

Fantastic experience: great facilities and friendly staff

Positive experience: Friendly staff. Good classes and food. Toilets and showers need TLC.

Fantastic experience: Great place. Never seen the place so well run. Good show to the Management.

Fantastic experience: Great health club

Negative experience: Phoned them asked about swimming said it wasnt busy so we headed up to get told kids were not aloud in till 2. Wouldnt go back.

Positive experience: Changing rooms needed renovated and the gym has too many treadmills and lacks enough free weights. No platforms or bumpers for Olympic lifts.

Positive experience: Great facilities and gym equipment

Positive experience: Good facilities in the gym area with modern equipment. Friendly staff. The changing area and the shower facilities are bad

Positive experience: I wish there is badminton court or basket ball studios
