Everlast Gyms - Glasgow Fort

The gym was closed for a month for an alleged upgrade. I have my reservations about calling this an upgrade. They've essentially painted everything black, dark grey and added some random white neon lights. New equipment, yes, but the old equipment was just fine.The old layout had a flow about it. There were designated areas that made sense, and there was a decent mix of colour and textures around the floor and walls that the gym looked very positive and motivating.The current all black incarnation is extremely lifeless. Equipment number seems to be reduced and feels simply lined up without any thought.I'm also not convinced that the fundamental colour contrast required in public spaces to meet regulations that protect the visually challenged has been met in the new decor. Perhaps worth sending a nudge to city councils building control to pay the gym a visit.I expressed my thoughts about the new decor and layout to a member of staff who was pretty rapid to tell me Yeah

The gym is good but be aware of some terrible policies held by them. 3 months notice to cancel AND they don’t let people in the gym 45 minutes before closing?? So if they shut at 6 and you show up at 5.20 you won’t be allowed into the facility that you’re paying for. Even if you want to go a quick 20 minute run, not allowed, despite the gym having loads of people in it. Some nice staff but also some terrible staff too.

love the new gym and the staff are so helpful cannot get over it the turn around it has had over the past few weeks, seeing all these posts about the dark walls i don’t understand you don’t go to look at the decor you go to train?? get over your self and see the bigger picture the facilities that are right in front of you. i’m personally really happy with the new gym as should you all be! ps i bet it’s all the £5 a month who are giving the big talk

Good gym and love the refurbishment. My big and only complaint is how busy it gets.Working far from home can't do before work so no option for me other than peak times.

Well equipped and clean but no paper or sanitiser to wipe down the machines. Staff are lovely

Joined after the refit as heard about the equipment all being Nautilus.The equipment has certainly lived up to the hype, although if you are looking for a quiet gym this isn’t the one for you. It can get very busy especially at peak times.There are lots of windows throughout the day when it’s quieter.I’d recommend trying it - as it’s worth it for the equipment alone!

High quality gym with lots of equipment and friendly staff. Only reason its not a 5 stars is no one puts their weight back where they're meant to go and no one does anything about it, I wish there was a policy that would repremand people for doing this.

Equipment is great. Staff very friendly. Bit busy but its expected with how good the gym is.

Recently reopened after a refit. Laid out well, plenty of machines and free weights. The staff are friendly and helpful. Just waiting on the EK gym to get updated. If you are a member , I would use the Fort gym,much better.
