ALT Fitness (Alternative Fitness Glasgow)

Fantastic experience: Really lovely class - great energy, well-tailored to the skill level and a fun routine to learn!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here since February and absolutely love it! The people are amazing and I’ve seen my confidence grow more than I thought possible, if you want to become stronger and learn amazing moves this is the place for it.

Fantastic experience: Had the chance of a 7 day taster at Alt fitness I can’t fault any of the staff, all very welcoming and encouraging, felt very safe here Even current members were lovely towards me and made me feel at home A wide range of equipment, very clean & well looked after studio

Fantastic experience: ALT Fitness is the most welcoming and supportive gym space I've ever been in. The classes accommodate all levels and the coaches are always cheering you on! I started with the aerial taster course and fell in love with the place, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Our daughter loved her aerial classes. Staff are so friendly, professional and welcoming. Would recommend Amy's classes to anyone. ✨️

Fantastic experience: My daughter had an amazing 9th birthday party there the staff were so lovely the kids loved the hoop, silks and trapeze. Would definately recommemd this amd the easiest party ive ever had to organise.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful, LGBTQ+ inclusive, and incredibly supportive studio. In classes you are encouraged to try new things, but never pushed to do things you don't feel comfortable with. I arrive at ALT in a total funk from a rough day at work and by the end of an hour, I'm grinning from ear to ear. Go on, give it a go, you will be amazed at what your body is capable of.

Fantastic experience: Lovely studio, lots to try and do. Lots of lovely and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had her 9th birthday at Alt Fitness. Emma and vikki were fantastic with all the kids. They all had a great time. A great experience for a birthday party.

Fantastic experience: Alt Fitness have created a wonderful inclusive and happy space for everyone to enjoy the world of aerial and pole. There's a huge variety of classes to choose from (and I've tried most) and each one has been a great experience with careful class plans, exceptional instructors and lots of fun shenanigans throughout. Highly recommend giving it a try but be warned, you might get addicted to the upside down!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. went here for a birthday party for my child. It was amazing. So much fun, all the girls were lovely and the kids had a blast ❤️

Fantastic experience: Loved my first class! Everyone is so friendly, the class was so much fun and I felt very relaxed during it. I can’t wait to go back. This was only the first class of a 7 day pass and I’m already thinking of getting a membership! I enjoyed it so much!

Fantastic experience: I did the intro to hoops course. It's so much fun. The instructors are amazing . It's perfect if you want to be active but can't face a traditional gym!

Fantastic experience: What is this, a circus!? .......(Loved it)

Fantastic experience: A fantastic place to come to "hang out" gain confidence and learn something new with a fab bunch of people. Such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Had the best time at the intro to hoops and silk course. So supportive and such a lovely atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Really friendly flexibility class, small class size and helpful stretches. My lower back feels more flexible!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant staff! Girls are so welcoming and kind. Really helpful and loved their classes

Fantastic experience: Granddaughter's birthday treat and she loved it.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I’ve been going since Jan this year and it quickly became part of my routine. I’ve struggled in the past to find movement I want to commit to, but the vibe at Alt is so lovely that you end up going for the people and the sense of play on the hoop rather than out of guilt for not exercising. Think this is a lifelong hobby for me, and I’ll continue to go to Alt as long as they’ll have me!

Fantastic experience: Greatest party EVER in my LIFE - review by my little girl following her party at ALT fitness

Fantastic experience: Loved my intro course recently and major kudos to all the coaches. Really feel part of a friendly family as soon as you enter the room for your class.

Fantastic experience: I have just finished my intro to pole and had so much fun that I got a membership to try all of the other classes. Great way to get out of your comfort zone and keep fit! Everyone is so lovely and makes you feel welcome. I would recommend to anyone :)

Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful experience yesterday evening, my first pole class! The team were super welcoming and happy to talk me through every step in class... especially comforting as I was super nervous & self conscious at first Thanks again ✨️✨️✨️

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant. Very accommodating with any requests from booking with Amy to the actual party, made us all feel welcome. The kids party was amazing, Caitlin and Vicki (apologies if spelt incorrectly) were fab and made sure the girls were safe using the equipment. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a fab day!!

Fantastic experience: You won't find a more fun, challenging yet rewarding workout anywhere else. I always look forward to each and every session, let go of your daily stresses and grab onto some silks instead! Everyone there is genuinely lovely and an absolute joy :)

Fantastic experience: Areal classes made me fall in love with moving my body again. Having the option to go to flexibility and strength training is also amazing. Everyone is very welcoming and supportive, and there are really good vibes all round!

Fantastic experience: Really nice vibes and amazing people around that make you feel good with your body and being yourself. Aerial is perfect for working without knowing you actually are working out - bonus if you capture a nice shape with your camera.

Fantastic experience: ALT Fitness put on a fabulous party for my daughter's 10th birthday. She, and all her friends, had an awesome time.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had her 7th birthday party here. The owner, Amy, spoke to us in advance, tailoring the party to the group attending. The kids had a fantastic time and my daughter absolutely loved her party. Those participating were so well supported by the staff to learn on the hoop and silks! The minute we left, the kids were asking when we could return again. The parents commented that it was one of the best parties they had been to. I would highly recommended Alt Fitness. It’s a fantastic party. Thanks again to the staff.

Fantastic experience: The class the my son goes to here is amazing! He absolutely loves it! The staff are brilliant and make everyone feel extremely welcome Thank you

Fantastic experience: Really welcoming staff and the facilities are great. Would highly recommend giving them a try!

Fantastic experience: Best place to pick up aerial skills in Glasgow. Super welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic experience: My daughter loved every minute of it, she was active and fully engaged through out. The little show at the end of the week was a bonus for curious parents. Brilliant would definitely book again

Fantastic experience: Amazing flex class, so friendly and a perfect way to start a Saturday. Vicky was delightful and I can't wait to get back there

Fantastic experience: Like many others, I also started with the intro to aerial course, and then signed up for the membership! It’s only been a month, but I’ve been quite happy as it’s a really nice community, and the instructors are all quite friendly and really support everyone no matter what level you’re at.

Fantastic experience: My 9 year old daughter has attended ALT kids for the last year and she loves it. She is excited for class every Sunday,

Fantastic experience: Started with the intro to silks and hoop course in February and loving my aerial hoop journey so far. Great environment for learning where you are given the opportunity to challenge yourself but also to listen to your body. Always a supportive atmosphere and hanging from a hoop using various bits of your body is fun!

Fantastic experience: A great place to try something new or develop skills! Really friendly and welcoming and the classes are great! :)

Fantastic experience: I booked me and my friend the intro to aerial course for a friends Christmas present back in January and alt fitness has been stuck with me ever since I’ve never got along with gyms mainly because I have really bad anxiety but alt fitness has quickly felt like a home from home with its welcoming atmosphere and supportive staff. Today I booked my first private lesson for and a friend, we chose to try cloud which we hadn’t had the opportunity to try before. Well worth it! We both had a great time trying something new and I feel like I’d definitely book into cloud courses in the future or at least book more private sessions. If your considering trying out aerial I’ve never felt more at ease than in alt fitness

Fantastic experience: The whole vibe of Alt Fitness is welcoming, and the instructors are fantastic - push you just enough to better yourself, but at your own pace. Cannot recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Party for my daughter with her friends. They are 7 years old. They had a great time. Would thoroughly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Love all the classes I’ve attended at alt, everyone is so welcoming and lovely, shout out to Monica for being an amazing teacher!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service. We had our daughter’s 10th birthday party and the coaches were fabulous. Highly recommend! Such a great alternative birthday party idea that you’ll not regret booking.

Fantastic experience: We had a fab joint 11th birthday party here! Our daughters had a fantastic time and were so well supported to be able to learn on the trapeze, hoop and silks! The girls at ALT Fitness were brilliant - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Alt enough- all the instructors are so supportive and it’s a lovely environment overall. Starting aerial can seem intimidating but at Alt it really doesn’t matter what level you’re at & there are so many options of classes. Excited to keep learning here!

Fantastic experience: Alt really has it all. Silks, hoop, pole, workshops with cloud, hammock and other aerial apparatus. Flexibility, weight lifting, boot camps. There's something for everyone to get strong and confident as well as a huge community of love and support. Go and find your new favourite sport and find your new best pal at the same time

Fantastic experience: If you've ever been curious about trying aerial or pole, this is definitely the place to try it. Everyone is so professional and supportive that it will quickly become your favourite place to be!

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been attending the kids class for a year. She absolutely loves it. Small classes so more time learning. Instructors are superb.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had her 6th birthday party with ALT FITNESS. What an amazing party which was loved by all.we had a big age range from 14 to 6 and each child had a brilliant experience! Both coaches explained the steps required of the children and supported them through it.we have booked up for weekly lessons. Recommend!

Fantastic experience: I am over the moon that I found such a supportive and welcoming gym with unique classes that are inclusive to all types of fitness level. After completing the 4 week intro course in Ariel hoop and silks I am now paying a membership so I can keep up my new hobby. I would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I had my first Aerial Hoop private lesson with Monica and oh my days. It was way more than I expected. I was made to feel so welcome and safe , which was a big thing for me as i struggle with anxiety and im not good with new people or places but I left feeling so much more happy and confident in myself and I can’t wait to go back next week. If I lived closer I would go every day, I got so much more than just a lesson out of it, and im really exited to see how much I grow from this ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've had a wonderful experience so far at ALT! I had a private lesson with Adam on Monday, then another with Polly on Tuesday. Both they - and everyone in the building - were so friendly, welcoming and encouraging. This is beyond my usual comfort zone but I've enjoyed trying something new, and I'll definitely be back. Thank you all and see you again soon, Stephen

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome space, everything you could need for a fun fitness journey. The staff are all so lovely as well. So glad I've joined!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had her 11th birthday party at ALTfitness this afternoon. The girls had a brilliant time learning skills on hoop, silk and trapeze. The staff were brilliant with the kids and were so accommodating of requests in advance. The party was a huge hit with all the girls and my daughter is looking to come to the weekly kids classes as a result of attending this party. Would highly recommend ALT fitness.

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely and friendly wee gym. Have a done a few classes so far with Monica and she always creates a positive environment full of energy

Fantastic experience: 1st timer at ALT and doing anything like this but Monica made me feel super comfortable, bruised & battered but I’ll be back next week

Fantastic experience: I've been having so much fun here, really loving the friendly, small and intimate vibes of the class and all of the classes with Monica! Would definitely recommend :)

Fantastic experience: A nice venue although is easily missed from outside. There is a small sign on their door. The ground floor is open, so the classes are all intermingled vocally. Adam is a friendly and motivational teacher. There was a good amount of parking in the evening I attended on this industrial estate. A toilet facility and water dispenser is available. Looking forward to attending my other booked aerial and floor based classes.

Fantastic experience: Amazing class. I don't think I'll be joining the circus anytime soon but Adam such a patient and encouraging teacher! My back and hips feel properly stretched out and looking forward to getting back !

Fantastic experience: I started training here last year and love it. It has great atmosphere and nothing like a regular gym session!! Any ability is always welcome and such a good group of people!! ❤️ Xx

Fantastic experience: My child attended an Easter camp and had a fantastic time. The staff were very friendly and supportive and she learned so much. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Went today for the Olympic weightlifting intro workshop and left feeling strong, great and empowered! Polly was an absolute blast. She explained everything amazingly, showed us how to make the Olympic moves and then encouraged us to try those with an Olympic bar. The environment at the gym was lovely, everyone was super nice and it felt a really welcoming place to be. Congrats Alt Fitness team for the great place you have created. It has been lovely!

Fantastic experience: The best hoop class I've been to in Glasgow! Such a lovely group of people. The instructors are fab and everyone in the classes is always supper supportive and encouraging! The facilities are great too- The height of the equipment can be changed to suit what your learning or what your comfortable with. The range of classes is great too- both through the range of standard offerings as well as the workshop classes that let you try out new things. I also attend the badass ballet class which is great for everyone of all abilities, the class is great fun!

Fantastic experience: Amazing first class! Strength, flexibility and beautiful tricks! The teacher was very attentive and even though it was my first time at the studio, she made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend the studio, for both beginners and advanced hoopers.10/10

Fantastic experience: Been a member of Alt for about 6 months, and am constantly blown away by the kindness, skill and support from owners, teachers and members alike. Amy and Caitlin, inspire me every time I walk into the space, as I have watched myself grow and thrive within the community they've crafted with so much care and love. Cannot recommend highly enough - especially if you love to keep fit, get a bit of a challenge and meet lots of amazing people all in one go.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve ever joined! Not only are all the classes so unique and exciting but you’re really made to feel like part of the gang from the minute you enter thanks to all the team for making exercise fun again

Fantastic experience: Got a Black Friday deal and went to a few pole dancing classes. Carly is a brilliant teacher. All the staff and clients are so welcoming as well as inclusive!

Fantastic experience: The most wonderful, joyful and safe space to learn fun ways to move your body, taught by the best instructors and to meet amazing people

Fantastic experience: Alt fitness is fantastic, I always hated the gym before but Alt has made me love exercising. I had never done aerial before but everyone was so welcoming and supportive I’ve not looked back.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym since it opened and I don't know what I'd do without it. It's the only place in the Southside where you can do aerial and it has such a nice and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Alt Fitness is a truly amazing place. The staff and all the students are so supportive and I really did feel like I was in a completely judgement free zone - which means a lot coming from someone with awful bad social anxiety. Although I have only been to 1 class so far I can't wait to attend more and experience more with the wide range of classes they offer. They even checked in regarding some health issues I had over email before attending and done another check in while I was there to ensure I was okay. I really cannot express how safe and comfortable I felt in this space and I do truly recommend it to everyone looking for a fitness class, a new way of working out or who just wanna give something new a try in a safe place.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about ALT! Everyone who works there is so lovely and encouraging. And most of all it’s FUN! If you’re ever thinking of trying something out of your comfort zone, make this it.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars aren't enough for this place! An incredibly friendly and welcoming space for anyone looking to try something new or continue their aerial or fitness journey. A brilliant range of classes that's expanding all the time and experienced teachers with so much patience and compassion. I spend every class laughing non stop and I'm so happy I found them

Fantastic experience: Love the range of classes on offer here. I've been doing aerial hoop for 2 years and it is great. I've been doing silks too for about 5 months. The teaching is great and you really feel how awesome it makes your body feel.

Fantastic experience: When I retired I wanted to try pursuits that previously I never had the opportunity to do. I did so with a bit of fear and trepidation because of my age however I found Amy and Caitlin and everyone at ALT to be highly supportive , approachable and friendly. I would encourage anyone of any age or fitness level to try ALT and surprise yourself by learning new skills in a lovely safe and supportive environment. I thoroughy enjoy the time I spend there and I have improved my strength, fitness and the overall sense of achievement I have gained.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant first pole class. Very welcoming place and the teacher was great!

Fantastic experience: Great range of alternative fitness classes, mainly circus based and expressive. Definitely not your traditional gym.

Fantastic experience: Had the best time at our first ALT Aerial class. I t was great fun and the ladies were great instructors and really engaging people. Everyone should try it!

Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere and high quality classes! Absolutely loving it !

Fantastic experience: Absolutely BRILLIANT space, and true to their mission statement. I've struggled with feeling comfortable moving my body, especially publicly. I had my very first aerial hoops class today and it was magical. I laughed, I felt joy, and I walked away with a confidence I haven't had in a long time. Everything was accessible and I felt completely supported. If you're on the fence, I really encourage you to try just one class, I bet you'll be pleasantly surpised. (For context, I have a big body and while I'm active, I wouldn't say I'm 'fit', zero upper body strength. In our small, mixed level class a wide variety of body types and ages were represented and all work was tailored to ability level in a very inclusive and appropriate way.)

Fantastic experience: Was my first time doing a beginners class in aerial hoop, the studio has such good vibes, Heather was so patient and lovely , we had a giggle along the way. Was welcomed with another lovely girl (with Blue hair and a big smile - sorry didn’t get her name) which makes all the difference as can be daunting going into somewhere new … thank you x

Fantastic experience: My first time trying this class and it was so good! All instructors were lovely the class was great and so much fun. Definitely be back for more!

Positive experience: Good all round

Fantastic experience: My happy place :) They've managed to create such an open, warm and inviting place to play and be yourself. The world has gone mad, but this is a place you can escape in and find your joy. Great range of classes at times you can make after work. Amazing professional instructors who give you the confidence to give things a go.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, supportive and inclusive space that offers a wide variety of alternative classes. The instructors are great, classes are fun and friendly, but also provide lots of opportunity to learn new skills and do something completely different.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending aerial hoop classes with Caitlyn and aerial silks classes with Adam for 2 months and I've not had so much fun in a long time! Not only are the insructors incredibly talented aerialists, their informative instruction approach is second to none! The welcoming environment created by all of the instructors and staff at alt fitness is so warm, inclusive and supportive. Alt fitness is a home away from home for me now!

Fantastic experience: Lovely, welcoming vibe and great instructors

Fantastic experience: Alt Fitness is the most amazing, inclusive, welcoming place. They have classes in everything you've always wished you could try. The whole team are fantastic and I'm always so excited for my Monday Silks class with Adam. Definitely don't be afraid to try a class. You don't need to already be fit to start, but dear god will you get stronger quickly!

Fantastic experience: I've been attending the ballet class which has been amazing and such a confidence boost! Rachel is a great teacher and welcomes everyone who wants to learn! Xxx

Fantastic experience: Great classes, I really enjoyed it. Friendly comfortable space will be signing up again soon.

Fantastic experience: Awsome xx

Fantastic experience: Had 2 beginner pole classes with Nikki so far and I'm delighted <3 Nikki is lovely and bubbly and put me right at ease! It seems a small thing but she remembered everyone's name without having to ask a second time and seems genuinely interested in everyone doing well and having a good time. She challenges us throughout the class so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth & more. ALT fitness is a lovely wee studio and I'm loving my experience so far.

Fantastic experience: Had so much fun at hoop class! Everyone is so friendly and it feels like a really safe space if you're someone who can feel anxious at the gym.

Fantastic experience: Had my first class today and it was so much fun! Lovely instructors and a great beginners lesson, excited for my next class!

Fantastic experience: Run by some amazingly incredible people, you couldn't ask for a better environment to achieve those fitness goals. Well worth your time!

Fantastic experience: Such a unique and welcoming warm place. I couldn't recommend more. The owner was so friendly and helpful, instructor was fantastic. So many different classes and options and we're so quick to make changes during these times. I'd give 10* if I could.

Fantastic experience: So I’ve been lucky enough to train here just as it opened. The teachers are fantastic and both them and Amy (the owner) create a really welcoming environment. Since being in lockdown I’ve joined their online classes every week they have been running and they have been a complete godsend. Both for getting to move and for mental health. Thank you all and I can’t wait to train with you in person again!

Fantastic experience: I would leave much more than just 5 stars! This place is friendly and welcoming with good instructors, good equipment and an overall amazing atmosphere. Not being able to go to actual classes in the lower level lock down I took a private hoop class and although this costs more, it was probably even worth more than what I paid for, the improvements I made were big and quick! The fact that I can't go here due to the level 4 lock down is devastating!

Fantastic experience: Really clean, bright fabulous space to train for aerial hoop and pole fitness. I love coming here for lessons, and they have really adapted to covid so you feel safe to train. Can't wait to get back soon!
