Glasgow Club: Busting the myths

False. As a Glasgow Club member, you have access to more classes every week than any other gym chain in the city. You are also not locked into using one location – choose from 15 gyms, 12 swimming pools and more than 1,000 classes (included with all memberships as standard).

We offer state-of-the-art Technogym gym equipment with a multi-million-pound refurbishment programme continually being rolled out across our city-wide network.

Since late 2022, we have invested more than £2 million to upgrade five Glasgow Club locations and this continues.

False. All our gyms, swimming pools and classes are fully staffed. We have a dedicated fitness team who can work with you to set goals and create a personalised workout plan at no extra charge.

Our gyms have industry-leading equipment and weekly classes that offer a mix of strength, cardio, HIIT, martial arts, cycling, dance and yoga.

This includes a packed programme of world-renowned Les Mills workouts. Choose from BODYATTACK, BODYSTEP, BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, BODYBALANCE, BODYJAM, RPM, and LES MILLS DANCE.

We run regular launch parties to celebrate the latest Les Mills releases throughout the year. Be among the first to enjoy the new music, routines and choreography at these fun and popular classes.

False. It is quick and easy to book through our mobile app and website, making it hassle-free to manage your workout schedule. You can access your bookings 24/7. Access our full timetable here.

False. All our memberships are flexible and operate from month to month. We don’t charge administration fees or hold you to a contract.

We don’t want to see anyone leave, but if you need to, we make it easy. Just cancel your direct debit at least seven working days before your next monthly payment. Learn more about memberships here. 

False. We work hard to make Glasgow Club gyms, sports centres and swimming pools affordable. This includes offering concession prices to those who rely on means-tested benefits or face barriers due to their age, income, family or employment circumstances. Find out more here.

True. As a charity that belongs to the people of Glasgow, funds are reinvested across the city. And it is not just gyms, sports centres and swimming pools. By becoming a Glasgow Club member, you are helping to put books on library shelves and supporting museums, galleries and community hubs.

False. There are plenty of options if you’re new to exercise, returning to it after a break or simply looking for something a little gentler. Glasgow Club offers everything from tea dances and walking football to tai chi and evergreen table tennis. Find out more here. 

True ... and false. Trying something new can be scary. We’ve been there too. Glasgow Club classes can be a great way to socialise and make new friends. 

Another great way to get started is by booking a session with one of our friendly fitness team. These ongoing one-to-one sessions are free with all memberships. Find out more here.

False. With 15 gyms, 12 swimming pools and more than 1,000 classes, there should be plenty to help keep things feeling fun and fresh on your fitness journey. We rotate our class programme regularly with the latest releases from Les Mills throughout the year.

Why not set yourself a challenge to try a new gym location or pop along to a different pool each month? If you’re a BodyPump fan, you can mix things up by trying RPM or Sh’Bam.
