"Badminton courts were well maintained"

7 years ago

The badminton courts were well maintained and in good condition. The floor was not slippery and the markings were clear. It's a dedicated badminton court so does not share markings with other sports. There are pulled out seating areas for spectators but sacrifices a badminton court to do so. The changing areas are clean too.

"Gym has lot of good point mention"

6 years ago

Overall the gym has a lot of good point I mention below... But Major negatives for me. Cleanliness. The gym is very dirty. There has always been a dust layer around the machines indicating a poor standard of cleaning and machines are rarely wiped down and from the looks of it fully cleaned less than that. I'm quite sure I have actually been Ill a few time due having used the gym. (Getting colds, or just feeling sick). Classes shut half the gym. For some reason everytime they run a circuit class they do it in the middle of the gym. The part I actually want to use. Which they then shut and play horrific music from. Pretty garbage considering I have paid to use the equipment just as much as those in the class. Would have been nice of them to include this little point before I bought a subscription. Lack of maintenance. The gents toilets look like a dump. Both cubicle doors have been broken for well over a year with no indication of any care to do something about it. Also cleanliness is questionable again. Swimming pool. It's fine if over heated. Sweating buckets by the end of the first lap. Weights room is a bit limited. But three squat racks is a bonus. The smith machine does waste space and could be replaced with a useful machine. Otherwise not to bad. Also I hear that glasgow life has a horrific bullying culture with a lot of the managers. I have heard this from several people that work / worked there. Good points. Squash courts and tennis courts are great. Staff are quite friendly. The class selection is great. Good running track and badminton courts. The only reason I go back is convenience. With the subscription I can access any of the gyms around Glasgow which is very handy. But considering that things like Pure gym are cheaper I might consider an alternative option. Especially for the cleanliness.

"Liked the idea that anyone could walk"

I liked the idea that anyone could walk down steps at the ends of the rows to get pitchside and talk to the players after the game. For me, though, it was too far from home involving journeys there AND back of over 7 hours by train.
