Best Gyms in Glasgow: Prices, Hours and Which One Suits You

The best gym in Glasgow depends on what you want. PureGym and The Gym Group are the cheapest, from about £16 a month off-peak or £21 to £23 for all hours. Glasgow Club’s council gyms are the best value if you want a pool and classes too, at £21 to £32 a month. For heavy lifting, independents like Central Strength, Extreme Gym and Citypark are worth a look. Below are 16 gyms with prices, hours and addresses taken from their own websites, so you can pick by area and budget.

Last checked: 23 October 2026.

Every price here is what the gym lists on its own website or booking page. Joining offers change all the time, so check before you pay. Where a gym doesn’t publish a price, or its own pages disagree, we’ve said so instead of guessing. If you just want the numbers, jump to the price table.

24-hour budget gyms

PureGym and The Gym Group are the two big names for cheap gyms in Glasgow. There’s no contract, and the branches below are open round the clock. Joining fees at the branches we checked run from nothing to £15, and most of the central ones are £10. The catch is that they get busy after work, so you may have to wait for a rack. Off-peak plans are the cheapest way in if you can train at quieter times, so check the off-peak hours before you sign up.

PureGym

A big budget chain, with 24-hour branches from the centre out to Rutherglen and Robroyston. Bath Street is right in the middle of town, with rows of cardio kit, free weights and a functional area, and its page says a new lifting rig and functional track are on the way. Shawlands has a women’s workout space and free parking for the first two hours.

• Price: Off-Peak (quieter hours only) is £16.99 a month and Core (all hours) is £22.99, plus a £10 joining fee at Bath Street. Shawlands is £17.99 and £23.99 with no joining fee. No contract.
• Hours: 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Where: 140 Bath Street, G2 3ER (puregym.com). Also Hope Street (67 Hope Street, G2 6AE), Charing Cross (113 St Georges Road, G3 6JA) and Shawlands (Shawlands Shopping Centre, G41 3NN).
• Suits: anyone who wants cheap, no-fuss access and doesn’t need a pool.

The Gym Group

Very close to PureGym on price, so pick whichever is nearer you. The Glasgow City branch is on the second floor with the entrance on Jamaica Street, and it has a free weights area with racks, benches and dumbbells. There are more branches across the city, and four of them (Anniesland, Forge, Quay and South) have free parking.

• Price: Off-peak from £15.99 a month and all-hours plans from £20.99, plus a £10 joining fee. The top plan is £26.99 once the first-month offer ends. No contract.
• Hours: 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Where: Glasgow City is Unit 9, second floor, 167-201 Argyle Street, G2 8BU (thegymgroup.com). The West End branch is on Vinicombe Street off Byres Road, G12 8BE, from £22.99. South is 501 Cathcart Road, G42 8SG, from £19.99 off-peak.
• Suits: folk who want a cheap 24-hour gym near the centre, the West End or the Southside.

Council gyms: Glasgow Club

Glasgow Club is the gym network run by Glasgow Life, the city’s sport and culture charity, and it’s often called the council gyms. Anyone can join, and you don’t need to live in Glasgow. FitClub is £32 a month for the gym any time, over 1,000 classes a week and unlimited swimming across 19 venues, 15 of them with gyms and 12 with pools. ActivClub is £21, but you book your gym sessions at quieter times.

There’s no joining fee and you can leave with 10 days’ notice. FitClub drops to £21 if you’re 13 to 21, and concession rates start at £13 if you get means-tested benefits. Pay as you go is £7.50 for the gym, which makes sense if you only go now and then. Kit varies from site to site, and the Arena and Kelvin Hall are the big gyms, so start with those two.

Glasgow International Arena (the Emirates Arena)

Plenty of folk still call it the Emirates Arena, but Glasgow Club now calls it Glasgow International Arena. The gym overlooks the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and the indoor arena, and Glasgow Club announced an upgrade for autumn 2025, with new Technogym bikes, more strength kit and a refreshed functional area. The Refresh Spa is on site with its own price list, and your membership also gets you into the pools at Tollcross and other Glasgow Club sites.

• Price: Emirates Arena gym membership prices are the same as the rest of Glasgow Club: £32 a month for FitClub, £21 for ActivClub, from £13 on a concession. Pay as you go is £7.50. No joining fee.
• Hours: Monday to Friday 6am to 10pm, Saturday 8am to 6pm, Sunday 8am to 8pm, from Glasgow Club’s venue page. Glasgow Life’s gym page gives 6.30am to 10pm on weekdays, 9am to 6pm on Saturday and 9am to 9pm on Sunday, and says last admission is an hour before closing, so check before your first visit.
• Where: London Road (entry via Clyde Gateway), G40 3HG (glasgowclub.org).
• Suits: East End folk and anyone who wants a big gym with classes and a view of the velodrome.

Glasgow Club Kelvin Hall

Glasgow Club says this is the biggest gym in the city, at over 1,000 square metres. Glasgow Life’s gym page lists about 50 cardio stations, 30 resistance machines, two Olympic lifting platforms and a big free weights area, and says the gym has been completely refurbished. There’s also a functional training space big enough for a class of 20.

• Price: Glasgow Club membership, £32 a month for FitClub or £21 for ActivClub. No joining fee.
• Hours: Monday to Friday 6am to 10pm, Saturday 8am to 6pm, Sunday 8am to 8pm.
• Where: Argyle Street, G3 8AW (glasgowclub.org). The nearest Subway station is Kelvinhall, and our Subway guide has the times.
• Suits: West End and Finnieston folk who want a big floor with plenty of kit.

Glasgow Club Gorbals

Glasgow Club says it’s a five-minute walk from the city centre. There’s a gym, a 25m pool and a leisure pool with a walk-in entrance. The gym has an Olympic half rack, a Smith machine, a curved treadmill and rowers, so it covers most things. The main pool closes for lessons on some afternoons, so check the times before you go.

• Price: Glasgow Club membership, £32 a month for FitClub or £21 for ActivClub. No joining fee.
• Hours: Open Monday to Friday 6am to 10pm, Saturday 8am to 6pm, Sunday 8am to 8pm. Pool hours are shorter and change from day to day.
• Where: Ballater Street, G5 0YP (glasgowclub.org).
• Suits: Southside and city centre folk who want a gym and a swim on one card.

Glasgow Club Scotstoun

One of the biggest leisure centres in the city, with a gym, a 25m pool, a leisure pool, a 100m indoor running track and indoor tennis courts. The gym has a decent spread of kit, including a sled, a rig and a curved treadmill. It’s home to the National Badminton Centre too.

• Price: Glasgow Club membership, £32 a month for FitClub or £21 for ActivClub. No joining fee.
• Hours: Open Monday to Friday 6am to 10pm, Saturday 8am to 6pm, Sunday 8am to 8pm. Pool times are shorter, and the pool sometimes closes for club training or lessons.
• Where: Danes Drive, G14 9HY (glasgowclub.org).
• Suits: Scotstoun, Whiteinch and Partick folk who want gym, pool and track in one place.

More Glasgow Club gyms with pools

• Tollcross, East End: Wellshot Road, G32 7QR (glasgowclub.org). A 50m pool, a 25m pool and a gym, open 6am to 10pm on weekdays. The main pool reopened in spring 2026 after a refurbishment.
• Bellahouston, south-west: 31 Bellahouston Drive, G52 1HH (glasgowclub.org). Gym and pool, open 6am to 10pm on weekdays.
• Springburn, north: Kay Street, G21 1JY (glasgowclub.org). Gym, 25m pool and leisure pool, open 6am to 9pm on weekdays.
• Maryhill, north-west: Gairbraid Avenue, G20 8YE (glasgowclub.org). Gym and 25m pool, open 7.30am to 9pm on weekdays.

Those are venue hours, and pool times are shorter, so check the pool timetable on each page. The smaller sites, like Pollok, Castlemilk and North Woodside, keep shorter hours too, so check each venue page first.

Gyms with a pool, sauna or spa

Glasgow Club is the cheapest way to get a gym and a pool on one card. These two cost more, but both have a sauna and steam room as well.

Nuffield Health Glasgow Central

On Finnieston Street, right beside the Clyde Arc. It’s been upgraded with new Life Fitness and BLK BOX kit, a recovery zone and refitted changing rooms, and the membership includes the pool, sauna, steam room and unlimited classes. It costs more than the council gyms, but there’s no joining fee and a free 3-day pass on its website. Nuffield’s West End club closed at the end of August, so this is the one to look at.

• Price: £67 a month off-peak (weekdays until about 4pm, any time at weekends) or £79 anytime, both on a 12-month deal. Rolling monthly is £79 at the moment, down from £99. No joining fee.
• Hours: Monday to Thursday 6.30am to 10pm, Friday 6.30am to 9pm, Saturday and Sunday 8am to 8pm.
• Where: 141 Finnieston Street, G3 8HB (nuffieldhealth.com), with on-site parking.
• Suits: folk who want a pool, sauna and steam room alongside the gym and don’t mind paying for it.

Strathclyde Sport

The University of Strathclyde’s sports centre, and it’s open to the public. There’s a gym with over 180 stations, a 25m six-lane pool with sauna and steam room, squash courts and two sports halls. It’s the university’s gym, so you’ll share it with students, and its own chart shows weekdays peaking around 5pm with weekends quieter.

• Price: Public membership is £48 a month (£528 for the year), or £35 a month if you’re 60 or over or on benefits. A 10-visit pass is £56, and a single gym visit is £7.
• Hours: Monday to Friday 7am to 10pm, Saturday and Sunday 9am to 6pm.
• Where: 160 Cathedral Street, G4 0RF (strath.ac.uk/strathclydesport).
• Suits: city centre workers and Townhead folk who want a gym and a swim near the centre.

Two more with pools don’t show a price on their Glasgow pages, so you’ll need to ask for a quote or book a tour. Village Gym at 7 Festival Gate, Pacific Quay (G51 1DB), has a 20m heated pool, spa pool, steam room and sauna, with the gym open from 5am on weekdays. David Lloyd Glasgow West End at 242 Netherton Road in Anniesland (G13 1BJ) has a 25m indoor pool, a 20m outdoor pool from April to October, a spa and tennis courts.

Independent and strength gyms

The chains are fine for cardio and a few machines. If you lift heavy, these independents are worth a look. Central Strength has three squat racks, Citypark has Olympic lifting platforms and limits its membership, and Extreme Gym is built for bodybuilding. Commando X-Fit mixes lifting with daily classes and caps its numbers. They cost more than the chains but less than the coached gyms below.

Central Strength Gym

A no-frills strength gym in a unit with an arched roof, near Central Station. It has three squat racks so you’re not queuing, classes are included, and its site says “we do not pose”. There are no joining or admin fees, and its home page says pin entry is now active out of hours.

• Price: Its main website lists Student £25, Member £30 or Gold £50 (with a PT session every month). Its sign-up page lists £22.50 for students and £27.50 for singles, so ask which applies. Rolling monthly, no joining fee. A day pass is £5.
• Hours: Its own pages disagree. The sign-up page says Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 10am to 2.30pm and closed Sunday. The home page says Monday to Friday 6am to 10pm and Saturday 9am to 4.30pm, and its day pass box says Saturday 10am to 4pm. Check with the gym before you go.
• Where: 15 Midland Street, G1 4PR (centralstrengthgym.co.uk).
• Suits: lifters on a budget, students, and anyone put off by big chain gyms.

Extreme Gym

A big gym done out in red and black, with bodybuilding murals on the walls. Its site says the Dornoch Street branch in the East End was renovated for more space and new kit, and calls it the best-equipped bodybuilding gym in Glasgow. That’s its own claim, but the floor is full of machines. It’s 18 and over only.

• Price: £45 a month with one month’s notice to cancel, and it works at all three Extreme Gyms. Day pass £15, paid in cash on the door. You can’t join online, so you set it up at reception. If you join after the 18th, you pay £15 for the rest of that month.
• Hours: Monday to Friday 6am to 10pm, Saturday and Sunday 8.30am to 8pm.
• Where: 16 Dornoch Street, G40 2QT (extreme-gym.co.uk). There’s also a Whiteinch branch at 56 Jordanvale Avenue, G14 0QP.
• Suits: bodybuilders and heavy lifters who want lots of machines at a fair price.

Citypark Fitness

An independent gym in the Citypark building on Alexandra Parade, with five training areas: a main gym with Olympic lifting platforms and four private studios for classes. Membership numbers are limited, there’s on-site parking, and every membership comes with a free 1-to-1 PT session each month. It also runs female-only group PT in its own studio, with more than 30 sessions a week.

• Price: £40 a month rolling, £35 on a 12-month deal, £30 for NHS staff and students, and £25 for a lunchtime plan (11am to 3pm daily). No joining fee. A day pass is £12, and there’s a free day pass to try it.
• Hours: Monday to Friday 6am to 9pm, Saturday and Sunday 9am to 3pm.
• Where: Citypark, 368 Alexandra Parade, G31 3AU (cityparkfitness.co.uk).
• Suits: Dennistoun and East End folk who want an independent gym with coaching built in.

Commando X-Fit

A big industrial unit in Hillington Park, just off the M8 at junction 26, with a sled lane, bikes and rigs under skylights. It caps the number of members so you’re not queuing for a rack at 6pm, and there’s a coached class every day with no booking. Its site says about a third of members started as complete beginners.

• Price: £35 off-peak (gym 9am to 4pm on weekdays, plus the 10am class), £50 for the full gym or £65 for the gym and every class. A day pass is £10. No contract, with 30 days’ notice by email.
• Hours: Monday to Friday 5.30am to 9.30pm, Saturday 7am to 6pm, Sunday 8am to 6pm.
• Where: 8 Lorne Road, Hillington, G52 4HG (commando-xfit.com).
• Suits: south-west Glasgow, Cardonald and Renfrew folk who want a quieter, capped gym with classes.

CrossFit and coached group training

These cost more than a standard gym because you’re paying for coaching. If you’ll go three or four times a week, the price works out fair. If you won’t, you’re paying for something you don’t use.

CrossFit Glasgow

A CrossFit gym on Commerce Street, just across the river from Central Station, with over 120 classes a week. Besides CrossFit there’s weightlifting, gymnastics and conditioning, with team workouts at the weekend. It also runs Silvers classes for over-55s and kids and teens classes.

• Price: most memberships are £65 to £127 a month, depending on how often you train. A drop-in is £15, and the On-Ramp intro is £200 for four one-to-one sessions. Cancel with 30 days’ written notice.
• Hours: open seven days a week, with the first class at 5.30am.
• Where: 27/29 Commerce Street, G5 8AB (crossfitglasgow.com).
• Suits: beginners and returners who like coaching, and folk who train better when someone notices they’ve not turned up.

Everyday Athlete

Functional fitness classes (it calls them EDAFIT) plus Muay Thai and boxing, in a unit on Borron Street in Port Dundas with free on-site parking. Outside class times you can use the whole floor: eight Concept 2 rowers, five Echo bikes, two squat racks, 15 metres of turf and a full-size sparring ring.

• Price: Unlimited is £94 a month (every class plus open gym) and Striking is £75 (unlimited Muay Thai and boxing), both rolling monthly. A 10-session pass is £150, and the 7-day trial is £15.
• Hours: classes run mornings, lunchtimes and evenings, with open gym outside class times. There’s no set opening time on its site, so check the timetable.
• Where: Unit 18, 100 Borron Street, Port Dundas, G4 9XG (everydayathletegym.com). The entrance is on Borron Street next to The Loading Bay skatepark.
• Suits: folk who like classes with a bit of fight training thrown in.

FLY

Large-group strength and conditioning in Kinning Park, coached through a nine-week training cycle that you can join at any point. Every session is coached, there’s a private car park and showers, and its site says it has been refining the programme since 2016. It’s a wee bit pricey, so use the 21-day trial before you commit.

• Price: £50 for 21 days of unlimited training to start. After that it’s £70 for 5 classes a month, £110 for 8, £120 for 12, £110 for unlimited off-peak or £135 for unlimited.
• Hours: Monday to Friday 6am to 8pm, Saturday 7am to 11am, Sunday 8am to 10am.
• Where: 33 Admiral Street, Kinning Park, G41 1HP (fly.fit).
• Suits: Southsiders who want coached lifting and a programme written for them.

One more worth knowing about is F45 Glasgow West End at 14 Vinicombe Street (G12 8BG). It runs 45-minute circuit classes and has 7 classes for £25 as an intro offer, but it doesn’t list its membership price on the page.

Boxing

Shettleston Boxing Club

A community club affiliated to Boxing Scotland, with classes for youths, juniors and adults. It’s an easy way to try boxing at £6 a class, and the coaches meet you wherever you’re at. You pay per class, and you’ll need the £5 yearly Boxing Scotland membership, which the club sorts out for you.

• Price: £6 a class for seniors (£5 for youths), pay as you go, plus £5 a year to Boxing Scotland.
• Hours: senior classes (17 and over) are Monday and Wednesday 7pm to 9pm and Sunday 10am to noon. Youth classes are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 5.30pm to 7pm.
• Where: Old Shettleston Road, G32 7HW (shettlestonboxingclub.co.uk). The club’s site puts it at 230 and Glasgow Life’s listing says 220, so check the map on its website.
• Suits: beginners, and anyone who’d rather pay per class than sign up to a monthly plan.

For a bigger gym, Kynoch Boxing Gym in Kinning Park (31 Portman Street, G41 1EJ) calls itself Scotland’s biggest boxing gym, with two rings and more than 50 punchbags. Its site says it’s open seven days, but it doesn’t list prices online, so ask first. Everyday Athlete, above, also does Muay Thai and boxing.

At a glance: gym prices in Glasgow

Tips before you join

Check the joining fee and the notice period

The monthly price isn’t the whole story. PureGym and The Gym Group charge about £10 to join at their central branches (PureGym is £15 at Rutherglen and Robroyston and nothing at Shawlands), while Glasgow Club, Central Strength, Citypark and Nuffield Health don’t charge a joining fee. Notice periods differ too. Glasgow Club is 10 days, Extreme Gym is a month, and CrossFit Glasgow and Commando X-Fit both want 30 days.

Go off-peak to save money

Off-peak plans are the easy win if your hours are flexible. PureGym and The Gym Group both start under £17 off-peak, Citypark has a £25 lunchtime plan, and Commando X-Fit’s off-peak is £35. Nuffield Health’s off-peak is £67 against £79 for all hours.

Try before you pay

Nearly every place lets you try it first. Glasgow Club is £7.50 pay as you go for the gym, Strathclyde Sport is £7, Central Strength has a £5 day pass, Citypark has a £12 day pass, Commando X-Fit is £10, and Extreme Gym is £15 in cash. Nuffield Health gives a free 3-day pass. For the coached places, CrossFit Glasgow is £15 for a drop-in, Everyday Athlete has a 7-day trial for £15 and FLY gives you 21 days for £50.

Booking classes and tours

Glasgow Club lets you book classes and other activities up to 8 days ahead once you’ve registered, and PureGym gives Core and Off-Peak members 8 days for classes (14 on Plus). At Everyday Athlete you book your first class online, and FLY starts with a phone call. Commando X-Fit doesn’t need booking at all, and Extreme Gym only signs people up at reception.

Expect queues at peak times

Strathclyde Sport publishes a chart showing its gym peaking around 5pm on weekdays, with weekends quieter, and most gyms get their rush after work too. If you can train first thing or late in the evening, you’ll usually find it quieter.

Students and under-22s

Glasgow Club’s FitClub is £21 instead of £32 if you’re 13 to 21. Central Strength has a student plan at £22.50 to £25, Citypark charges £30 for students and NHS staff, and The Gym Group runs student saver plans.

Women-only gyms

4TheGirls in Polmadie (G42 0PH) is a women-only strength gym with open gym, coached lifting, boxing, Pilates and yoga, and it describes itself as faith friendly. Its booking page lists £50 a month for 4 classes, £79 for 8 and £109 for unlimited classes, all on 12-month terms, plus a £25 week trial and a £15 day pass. Sorella Strength at Unit 3, 126 Hydepark Street (G3 8BW) is a women-only studio for classes and small-group coaching. Its about page lists £70 a month for 6 classes, £80 for 8, £90 for 12 and £100 for unlimited classes and open gym, with a £10 week trial for new customers. Citypark has a private female-only studio for group PT, and PureGym Shawlands has a women’s workout space.
