Nuffield Health Glasgow Giffnock Fitness & Wellbeing Gym

Greens is my dream fitness centre. It has a huge pool, a mellow atmosphere, machines everywhere and a lovely sense of luxury. Sadly, I have only ever managed a trial membership: the cost, against using GCC’s perfectly adequate facilities, made me decide against a longer commitment.
It has brand new equipment, plenty of classes, both during the day and in the evening, and there are plenty of different rooms, making it feel more relaxed than most gyms. It never gets too busy– most gym memberships are hardly used– and the pool area is immaculate. It has several jacuzzis and sauna rooms, beautifully clean changing rooms and on-​site massage. There’s even a little shop, for when you forget your trunks.
The downside is the cost– it pitches above the average, and the way that they ask about your current gym suggests that they are trying to offer individual deals that are most likely to attract you. They also do different deals for limited use, something I find useless: if I have a gym, I want to be able to use when I like, not just during the day.
However, if you can afford it, it is far from the madding crowd.

Greens is located just off Fenwick road in the south side of Glasgow. Given the prosperity of the surrounding area, it aims to cater for the more upmarket segement of the gym clientele, a fact which is reflected in both their facilities and their membership prices. Onsite facilities include a gym, swimming pool, sauna and restaraunt. There is also parking available. Note that discounts are available to NHS staff, so it may be worth giving them a call as you can get cheaper rates!
