Bannatyne Health Club

"The gym is great. I've had to use a few other bannatyne gyms before and the gym was smaller, but the stepps one is great"

"Amazing staff amazing venue. Gyms always clean. Good set up excellent equipment. Even when it is busy you can still get on equipment. Classes I have not ventured into them, so I can not comment on how they go."

"Decent gym, decent size and friendly staff. The gym is usually never too busy so there is always enough equipment to use in the Cardio section without having to wait around etc although wish they would get another stepping machine legit have one and always hate to use it incase someone is waiting to get on it. The sauna is decent although I wish they had a quiet area dark area like bigger sauna, and no not like that! 1) I’m there struggling to stay in the room struggling to catch a breathe and you have these older 60+ guys trying to talk to you and 2) when your body is currently pretty out of shape you don’t want to be seen. Overall though would recommend this gym and the PT’s look decent dunno too much about them but look approachable and from seeing them PT they seem pretty good. Maybe more classes, especially Kettlebell classes and more HIT classes"

"Two issues that have me really unhappy with this gym. First is the quality of the equipment, one particular bench which I reckon most gym members have encountered at some point has an issue where it is difficult if not impossible for it to go into the flat position. Anyway I got stuck with this bench got it to stay flat then while doing 20kg chest press with dumbbells the bench gave out under me and went negative. Everyone heard the huge bang the bench made and I injured my shoulder. I told one of the physio staff and to their credit they offered to have a look at my shoulder and remove the bench. Funny thing was, I went to the gym and the bench had been removed and placed between the two doors in between the hall and gym. So I assumed they were going to get rid of the bench until next week where I used the same bench again which had been placed back out. Absolutely no regard for members safety even although people are paying £50 a month for this facility. The second issue is that they have just casually decided since the pandemic to cut opening hours at the weekend from 10pm to 8pm with no adjustment to the fees and without telling anyone besides on Google. I really enjoyed decompressing at the weekends around that time which is a thing of the past now. Andy really doesn’t run this place right and you can see a mile off that everyone he’s is doing to save and scrimp on a luxury gym is benefitting him somehow. You’d have to imagine his bonus is tied to it which is why he acts with such disregard to members. Never heard anyone have something good to say about him."
