Bannatyne Health Club: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Joined 8 weeks ago and loving it! Go 3 times a week,lost over a stone in weight in my first 6 weeks iam now addicted never thought I would say that about going to the gym!
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, with the most Amazing staff... We eat breakfast 4 days a week, never been let down 5*****
Fantastic experience: Really lovely staff and really helpful and friendly
Negative experience: £25 a day pass is crazy GMFU
Positive experience: Very good facilities and well kept clean equipment, changing rooms need to be refurbished very dated as do the showers steam room is great , sauna was refurbished but so disappointing no heat it’s meant to be hot kept on informing staff seems to have fallen on deaf ears, staff are all very helpful and friendly. Just sort out the SAUNA please
Fantastic experience: Always great food & service. Had smashed avocado & poached eggs on toast, tasty, super tasty.
Positive experience: Only visited because there's an Instavolt. In overflow car park which was almost empty so I could charge leaving the caravan hooked up. A real bonus. Can't comment about the club.
Positive experience: staff excellent even though wages not great. pool and jacuzzi not hot and lack of chairs pool side.
Negative experience: Be careful they will try charge you £1000 for any accidents... take a look on google. would be walking on eggshells in that place.
Fantastic experience: Good thanks
Negative experience: Dreadful customer service this evening when as a visiting NHS professional I enquired about attending a class this Evening after work at 7pm and tomorrow before I go to work at 8am . Although a member of Bannatyne for many years in Edinbugh I was offered a day pass for £25 and another at £25 tomorrow. Without being able to book a class. Disappointing to say the least
Fantastic experience: Good place for swim and gym, lots of good gym options spread over 2 floors. Not tried spa yet.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, couldn't get a tour though as not enough of them. May join anyway
Fantastic experience: Stopped to charge our car and had a nice lunch. Beats a service station any day.
Negative experience: Despite having visited multiple times when visiting from Australia l was greeted with unhelpful staff after driving 50 mins to get to the gym recently. I was refused entry due to my ID not being ‘scannable’ -( despite it being legitimate Australian ID and having visited within 12 months. Extremely disappointing after spending a lot of money on causal passes.
Negative experience: Staff are rude and if your child is wanting to go to the gym well don’t even bother it because they are only letting 16 or over going to the gym and the really funny thing is that if you are under 16 you have to be accompanied by an adult up the lift it’s just overly ridiculous not a good place but in places I’d recommend David Lloyds if there is one near you or somewhere else

Fantastic experience: One of if not the best gym in Dumfrieshire highly recommend it check it for your self
Fantastic experience: THE lady who was there was very pleasant and very helpful thank you Hughie Munro Hannay
Positive experience: Well equipped gym which is always clean and tidy. Staff always make you feel welcome no matter who you are. Every inch of the place is spotlessly clean. Having the wet area really sets it apart from the other gyms in the area.
Positive experience: Excellent Gym, great facilities, a huge variety of classes to suit different schedules and great equipment to suit everyone in the recently refurbished gym upstairs. Pool and spa facilities are always clean and the majority of staff are really friendly. Changing rooms are always clean and tidy. Other facilities available such as sun beds and cafe. The cafe serves a great variety of food and drinks, including a lovely freshly squeezed orange juice. More expensive than other local gyms, but definitely worth it.
Positive experience: They have a EV charger on site. So anyone who does this is in my good list. You can use the cafe if not a member, which we did while waiting for the car to charge.
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff first class
Fantastic experience: Excellent
Positive experience: Great gym, clean, good equipment, only gripe is the music on the gym floor is absurdly loud on occasions!!!!
Negative experience: Difficult to leave without paying extra month fees. I tried a few times to leave, i was on a month rolling contract and told i could cancel anytime. But when trying to cancel was told i had to give a month notice in writing, which subsequently carried over onto next month and i owed another month. I froze my account for 2 months due to work, they took full membership out after that period without contacting me and then phoned trying to explain i was still working out of town and could they freeze for another month without taking full payment,they said no! Terrible,inflexible admin. going elsewhere for sure.
Positive experience: Fantastic facility. I only use swim/spa. Staff are first class here and couldn't be more helpful. Cleanliness is excellent and the staff are always cleaning. My only moan is the spa is a little on the hot side and as this tub helps my arthritis I like to fully relax in it but when it's too hot I can't. When I tell a member of staff they immediately test the temperature and will turn it down if necessary , so again great customer service. Love it and well worth the money to me. Thank you.
Positive experience: Looks ok from outside
Positive experience: One of the best clubs in the UK.
Positive experience: Great spa and pool. Gym is modern and there's a nice cafe. Very expensive though
Fantastic experience: Bannatyne is a great fitness centre. Lovely staff and helpful too. Bit pricey for me but I enjoy it, so it's worth the money. So many different classes and alot of equipment to use. Pool, sauna, steam room and brilliant Jacuzzi. Not just for fit healthy people. Seen alot of people in wheel chairs and walkers or with other disablilitys which I think is great.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Excellent facilities.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the town, a little expensive but understandable when it has virtually no competition.
Positive experience: Very well equipped, but extremely expensive
