Bannatyne’s Health Club

Good gym with up to the date equipment and friendly staff. Almost every cardio machine has a built-​in telly!

this particular bannatyne’s health club is north/​east glasgow enroute to cumbernauld/​stirling — a couple of miles outside glasgow city boundary — very handy for A80 motorway junction — come off at the dolly parton roundabout (don’t ask) and head back towards glasgow — its only 200 yards down the road — so very accessible if eg on visit to scotland by car and have the membership which allows you to go to any of their sites (large car park)
— standard bannatyne’s offering — gym /​pool /​sauna /​steam /​sunbeds /​café/​bar — good choices of snacks/​beers available
— they are good at organising various in-​house events and the odd out-​of-​club event — must admit i’ve not attended any though
my only complaint is that the ladies changing room is always way too cold when coming in from the pool — suppose its ok if you are hot from the gym but if you are cold/​wet its not inviting :(- one of these days i’m gonna go into the gents to see if its warmer ;);)
actually thats not my only complaint — hate it when children are allowed in the pool and play ball games or jump/​dive in — despite the notices warning against it — its not a deep pool — only up to my armpits — friend of mine broke his nose diving into a pool this depth in the states
rant over!!!
