I like that they are almost all the same set up, so when you visit one it feels familiar. This particular gym is actually located within the shopping centre, located at the top entrance. The front of the gym has large windows, making the gym bright and airy however, I'm not sure I would feel comfortable exercising with shoppers walking by. Not everyone shared my concern as there were plenty of others doing just that. For me this wasn't a problem as there is also a large and well equipped area upstairs, not visible to passer bys. I use my phone app to help keep me right with the machines but there are staff around who will offer support.

Yeah, it's a gym. 24/7 365 days a year. Small fees than most other gyms (all this info you can get…read moreon their website). Classes are aimed more at regulars, I've found. Which is slightly disappointing if you're trying something out for the first time, and like me, you don't really know how to do all the moves. But I guess you just need to persevere. All in all, decent facilities. Showers are lovely and hot but no thermostat for these, so one temperature fits all. Nice space, but not so nice IMO since their rebranding and painting various walls black. But it's cheap and cheery. You want frills, then the cost reflects that. Happy gymming.

I used to be really self conscious when I was younger and went to the gym, I really didn't like carrying all that 'festive weights' and trying to get rid of it in front of people would clearly didn't need to. Now I don't care at all but Fitness First for women would have been great for me back then. The gym itself is so accessible being on Sauchiehall st so whether you are shopping, at uni or work, it is easy to get to, and even maybe for a pre-going out gym boost. I went to this gym on a free day trial, which you can get from the website. I liked my experience because no matter what, its nice to have a minute or two when you don't have to bother about your appearance. I didn't get a membership here because I would rather go to the gym with my boyfriend than by myself, and the membership fees are pretty steep for the facilities you get. But most in the city centre are, you are paying to save your time and be away from those terrible boys. :)

As soon as i entered i was by two smiley lovely girls who were chatty, i then asked were the changing rooms were as i hadn't been before and they were more than happy to give me a quick tour! The gym itself is a nice size not too big or intimidating, there is plenty of the usual equipment treadmills, cross trainers etc. There was also the usual weight machines but these were a bit dated and the resistance felt a bit weird to the more modern ones im used to, but nevertheless they did the job! I liked the fact the had punch bags and mitts etc meant i could take my frustration out!!! One more machine the had was the 'power plate' i had never been on one of these but had heard quite alot about them- like they give you a full body work out in 10 minutes. I saw a few women using it then fort i would have a go myself! There was a chart on the wall showing all the varying positions and techniques to make the most of the machine. I chose the positions and intensity then pressed start.... I have never experienced anything like it in my life i hated it!! the intensity was soo high i could feel my muscles rippling my eyesight was going funny n everything! I was supposed to hold it for 60 seconds but couldnt handle it haha! I take my hat off too anyone who can use it more than 1 minute!! :P

The Nuffield Health gym in Finnieston is a medium sized, really well equipped gym with almost…read moreeverything you could hope for easily available. The layout is a tiny bit confusing but basically it's spread across two floors. On the ground floor is the brasserie (open to non-members but I've not tried it yet), the changing rooms and the 25 meter long pool. Alongside the pool are three spa pools; one cooler one and two warmer ones, as well as a sauna and a steam room. The pool is very clean and not overly heavily used, although some lessons and classes take place here. Upstairs there's a large free weights area as well as a few weight machines and the main cardio gym. There's also a studio, a spinning room and a second "mini-gym" which has a smaller number of cardio machines and a few weights. I'm not sure why a mini-gym is necessary but it's hand to know it's there when things get busy. I've never seen any of these areas excessively busy but I don't go at peak times - they do have signs up saying that at peaks times members should limit their workout on a cardio machine to 20 minutes, so that suggests demand gets quite high. They run a lot of fitness classes through the week, designed to suit a wide variety of goals. These need to be booked in advance since they sometimes get busy. You can also book them on the day at the front desk if they have any spaces left. So far I've only tried the yoga but I enjoyed it and I'll definitely have a go at a few other things. The staff are friendly and helpful and they'll happily walk you through how to use any equipment you're not familiar with. Fitness plans are available for members who can also get discounts on things like physio. As gyms go I think this is one of the better ones.

This is the second Pure Gym I have been a member of. Used to go to the one at Charing Cross before…read moreI moved. I absolutely love Pure Gym! I used to pay more to go to a much smaller gym before. On my first day switching gyms I was wandering around aimlessly trying to find the ladies changing area (while trying to look like I totally knew what I was doing). I was approached by a lovely guy who asked if I needed help and showed me to the changing area. So what I love about Pure Gym is that it's open 24 hours (not that I go at night or the morning..), it's just a gym - no pool, spa, cafe etc., loads of great classes and it's a huge space with plenty of equipment. The one thing I don't like? During busier times getting in an out can be tricky. There's 2 pods that can be used for entry and exit. Occasionally there are times were people are using both pods to come in and people can't get out! It sort of depends on the kindness of others to let others through. I think Pure Gym is great and I always recommend it to others looking for a gym!

Ok, I should preface this review by saying I am in no way a gym expert. I have only been…read moreconsciously going to the gym for the last 2 year now. However, if you too are a gym newbie, this is the review for you! Pure Gym is only the second gym chain I've ever been to. I previously had a membership with another chain that shall remain nameless, and was left with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth about what "non-contract" gyms could offer. Was I better spending a lot of money for a fancy gym with all the bells and whistles? No. Pure Gym fits all my need as a new gym goer! Signing up online was super quick and easy. On my first visit to the gym I found everything to be really well signposted and there was lots of clearly visible staff around. This gym is over three levels, but there are lifts for disabled customers. It's broken down as such - first level is what I like to call the hardcore weights section. In my old gym I found it quite frustrating as weights machines could be hogged by other users, however this layout separates the men from the boys, so to speak, and if you're serious about your weights, everything you need is here! If you are less serious about your weights, like I am, on the top level you will find all the cardio machines and some milder weight training equipment! No need to share! :) Sandwiched in between is the level with the changing rooms, the circuits area, and the "classroom". There is also a cycle studio down on the bottom floor. Now the classes. My main pet peeve with the other gym was the classes never seem to run, Sometimes groups of people would be collecting around the mats and now instructor would show. Not the case at Pure Gym. You can book yourself into classes using the website or the mobile app. Do not sleep on these classes, they book up so quickly, and Pure Gym know it! If you don't turn up to classes, you will get a week long ban from the gym for bad behavior! So far I've attended Spin and Circuits classes and I love them! 3 months ago I'd have balked at the idea of me saying I loved a Spin class, but I do now! You can also buy water, protein drinks, padlocks and towels from the vending machines on the ground floor. The vending machines take cash and card, and are enabled for contactless - cool! :) The only think I've found a bit annoying is the changing room is a bit small, but they have adequate space for toilets and showers, so that's good. Overall I would recommend this gym, especially now as the price is slightly lower for a limited time! :)

I'm trying to tackle my complete lack of motivation for exercising so I thought I'd check out this…read moregym as recommended by Amanda R. I got a 24 hour pass online for £5 to go for a look around and a go of the machines as well. The gym is easy to get to on Cathcart Road and has it's own private car park. We visited at a peak time and there was loads of spots so that's always good to know. To enter you need a pin number and then you stand in a very futuristic pod thing to be let in. You can sign up in the front area as well, in case you aren't already a member. There are lockers in the main area which means they are inside the secure doors, and visible to the whole gym. This was one of my worries about going to a 24 hour gym as I've heard horror stories about people's stuff being stolen - this seems like it might not be an issue here as you'd have to be pretty brazen to steal someone's stuff right in front of everyone. The machines are laid out in one main area which is huge - there is rows and rows of treadmills, cross trainers, bikes, rowing machines as well as a free weight area and machines. Then there's a proper weightlifting room if you're into lifting the heavy stuff. All the equipment I want to use is here, and they also have free classes (as well as some paid ones). There was a good mix of people and by that I mean it wasn't a total gym-wank gym so most people should feel quite comfortable here. The music was bad, but when is gym music good? Bring your own headphones and you'll be fine. I would have ranked this place a 4 star quite happily, but I needed some help from the staff when getting my padlock set up. She was so super helpful and nice about my extreme stupidity that it gets bumped up to a 5 star.

There's also a really big free weights section, but I haven't used that yet. The facilities are really good: nice and bright with a good changing area, loads of lockers, and good quality equipment that hasn't been battered about yet. I've not dealt with the staff yet, but they all look really friendly. There are personal trainers there, and the details are on the wall, but it would be great if there were prices up there as well. It's probably on the website, but something at the gym would be great. All in, this is a brilliant deal. For the price, you get membership for here and the one in the city centre, which is an absolute bargain. If you're looking for a new gym definitely give it a go.

He (i shall call him he) sits there all day just quietly reminding me about the beer and pizza ans chips and whisky and chocolate and crisps and juice I've guzzled down. Perhaps you say, perhaps the ire of my anger should be towards the afore mentioned beer and what not and not the innocent outcome of my gluttonous actions? Perhaps, I say, perhaps you should shut the shut up! Anyway. Rightly or wrongly, i hate this wee dude and have finally decided to terminate his existence. But how? Well, since i'm writing a review about a gym, you may dear reader, assume that i'll be saying bye bye belly with the aid of exercise. You would be right. This i cannot argue against. So with a heavy belly and a heavy heart I joined the Pure Gym due to utter convenience (i work nearby) and the 'oooooh, that's cool and allows me to opt out if/when I cannie be arsed anymore' single month contract system. Nae year contract for this lasy barsteward! So, the beef burning beef? Well, as gyms go it seems to have all the gear you'd need to shed those extra pounds and tone up whatever's left over. I've just recently become a convert to running, so the appeal of these and a wee shower afterwards is pretty much all I'm after just now. Equipment wise, it seems to have all the mod cons. Runny things. Rowy things. Bikey things. Weight lifty things and what have you. It's clean (although the shower did smell a wee bit stinky), fresh, well lit and fairly welcoming even if the entry system does feel a wee bit like you're entering the safe zone in some sort of post apocalyptic zombie flick. Apparently the joint can be pretty busy at times, but today I popped in at around 2ish and it was fairly quiet. It'll do for noo. Classes and what not, other words, amenities, assistance and other relevant words. Yeah.

Over the summer there seemed to be quite a lot of problems with air conditioning as it was never working and the gym could be unbearably hot.

As stated previously, it is a small gym, so you may have to wait for equipment during busy times. I didn't use the personal trainer service they have on offer, so I can't really comment on the staff. Once I was signed up & given the tour, they left me to do my own thing as I was pretty familiar with the machines. The gym offers 6 & 12 month membership plans. You can also use any of their locations worldwide should you fancy a workout on holiday or in case you get shipped abroad by your boss!
