Bannatyne’s Health Club

Small gym but has what you need. Has a pool, although it doesn’t have lap lanes. Gets crowded after work, but still can get to the equipment. Locker room bug enough with plenty of showers. Towels available for a fee. Complimentary with stay at Marriott V&A

Walked in with 3 mates and 3 already waiting. Everyone was excited, went to reception which was next to the entrance on the right, only to be met by a miserable and peeved off receptionist.
She gave us forms and pens and told us fill them in.
We sat down in the café area, completed our forms, returned them and she miserably asked us if we wanted dressing gowns and towels (£3) and locks (£1 deposit).
Having got all our stuff went through reception, where we could so the gym through windows.
Walking through corridors, signs were scarce but we got to the changing rooms. Loads of lockers but no closed changing rooms.
We’d arranged a spa treatment, I had a facial which was relaxing but lasted quicker than everyone else’s and we all went in at the same time.
Tried pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, cold and hot showers.
3 stars are for the facilities and spa. First impressions count and receptionist brought it down

This is nice gym in city center for a £29 monthly membership with no contract you have access to 3 gyms clubs Firs close canalstreet Second in Springfield. After refurbished now this gym is so modern with greats equipments. Gym is always clean and staff is very friendly. You can’t have better deal in city center for gym with classes, pool, sauna and jacuzzi.

Duncan, Duncan, Duncan. How can you expect me to line your pocket any more when I’ve seen evidence on television of how disgustingly rich you are. There you are, living it up on your yacht while I’m trying to decide between Primarni and Peacocks for my next batch of budget knickers. You sod.
And I wouldn’t mind, but it’s not like his gyms are any good anyway. The expense doesn’t really cover the lack of luxury one experiences. Yes, this is one of the most highly priced gym memberships you’ll come across in our fair city, but they don’t really live up to it at Bannatyne’s. I had a friend who suffered the classic unable-to-tell-gym-I-don’t-want-to-use-it-or-pay-f or-​it-​anymore conundrum that many mega-​chains employ, where they make you feel like you’re shooting puppies if you even attempt to leave. I only went there to try to use the sunbeds during work hours when I was surprised with a lovely trip to Mallorca (it was a base tan thing and I no longer condone their use), and I even rang that morning to check if they were open to non-​members. I was assured by a friendly lady that they were. What I encountered at lunchtime was some snobby staff member retorting that I’d been misinformed. They had a chance to make some coinage there, the morons.
Duncan, where were you on that one? You’re supposed to be a businessman, we’re constantly told that.
Sure, they have all the latest machines and gadgets, but it’s expensive and the staff are a pain. If I ever reach celebrity status or have even half as much money as Duncan, I might find myself subscribing to one of his gyms. But I’m a rubbish person to ask anyway, I’m one of those ‘the world is my gym’ types who walks everywhere, practises home yoga and occasionally suffers hell on the Wii Fit. Gym? Ask me when I’ve had children or something.
