Gym documentation


Glasgow Shawlands gym reviews

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Tired and in need of a makeover I am a member of The Gym at Cathcart Road and have been for a number of years. I decided to give Pure Gym Shawlands a try just for a change but kept my The Gym membership running. There are a number of points about Pure Gym Shawlands that are worth a mention. The place has a generally tired feel to it with the carpets worn, equipment pretty worn out, there is no natural light and the lighting that is there makes it feel dark and oppressive. It is not very spacious and the benches in the free weights zone often seem crammed together. It is a busy gym and due to the size things feel cramped, even at 05.30 it can be difficult to get a squat rack. Basic things like ropes , handles and bars for the pulley machines are either in short supply or in poor condition. I find myself constantly going from one side of the gym to the other to get something to find out the limited item is already being used. Just get some more. On several occasions I've also heard people banging along on treadmills where the tread is clearly slack and requires adjusting, also a few of the resistance machines have seen better days. e.g the peck deck which feels like it has an extra 5kg on it due to the mechanism being stuck and grinding. I've not used the changing facilities and the one occasion I used the gents toilet the hand drier was not working with no paper towels as an alternative I was left drying my hands with loo roll. I've been using the place for a couple of months now and to be honest I'm not very impressed. I notice that J.D are opening a gym in Auldhouse in spring 2020. I imagine you will lose customers to that place.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good gym, hard to get using things in weight area The gym is a good size plenty of equipment but it’s just so busy, trying to get on things at the free weight area is a nightmare, obviously no fault of the gyms most people go after work. Maybe a bigger free weight area, more squat racks etc
