Bothwell Street, Glasgow, G2

Best gym I’ve ever been a member of. It is always immaculately clean - much better than others. Changing room and toilet is always clean too. the gym is large and with very good natural lighting which makes for a pleasant environment. the equipment is top notch - always good condition and plenty available. I also have an off peak membership which is superb for my needs and very cheap. I enjoy coming here a lot.

I joined this gym specifically for my trainer, Sarah—honestly the best PT around. Since starting, I’ve been consistently impressed by how clean and well-maintained the facilities are. The entire gym team here is incredibly friendly and approachable, making every workout feel safe, welcoming, and completely stress-free! Would totally recommend it!

I have been a member and regular user of this gym for 9 years and also currently go to one of the PTs for individual sessions. The gym is always clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and happy to help with any queries that you may have (whether it's assistance with the equipment, help with any exercises or something else). The equipment is very good compared to other more expensive gyms and is kept in good condition. The equipment is also ideal for any gym goer regardless of level or competence. There are an adequate number and variety of machines and dumbells/weight benches as well as a good sized area for doing mat work including stretches. This gym is also in an ideal city centre location and over the years I have used it at all times of the day and/or week without it ever feeling too busy. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to join a gym to either start their fitness journey or switch their membership from another gym.

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a spin class with Chloe Hughen at The Gym Group. This was my first ever spin class, and while I initially wasn’t going to leave a review, I feel it’s important to share my experience. Before the class started, I explained that it was my first time and was reassured that it would be fine. However, throughout the session, the atmosphere felt extremely intense and intimidating rather than supportive for beginners. Chloe repeatedly commented that people were “cheating” if they were not turning their endurance up enough and stated that if people did not increase it themselves, she would come and do it for them. At one point, she paused the music to tell the class people were not going fast enough, and said that whenever the pace was not good enough, the song would restart and we would begin again. This created a lot of unnecessary stress and pressure during what should have been an encouraging fitness class. There were also comments made about people needing to “control their breathing,” which added further discomfort. What made the situation feel even more uncomfortable was that Chloe was not actively participating in the cycling herself other than briefly demonstrating what we had to do, while still putting a lot of pressure on those attending the class. As a first-time participant, I felt very nervous and intimidated throughout the session and too uncomfortable to slow down or stop when needed because I worried about being singled out or criticised. A good instructor should make people feel supported, especially beginners, and unfortunately this experience had the opposite effect. It completely damaged my perception of spin classes and knocked my confidence rather than building it up. I believe it’s really important for spin instructors to be approachable, encouraging, and understanding of different fitness levels so that people feel comfortable and motivated to return.

A clean and not an overly busy gym! The staff are always very helpful. 🙂🙏 Love the Flexi and spin classes! The only suggested improvement is having more cardio and strength equipment like Skierg, battle ropes, hip thrust machine etc. …
