Place was ridiculously over packed. To the extent the big looked like a jacuzzi from all the kids jumping about. The changing rooms were absolutely disgusting. The floors were beyond filthly. Hairdressers floors have less hair lying on them . Was an absolute shambles. For such a new facility, the cleanliness of the changing area leaves a lot to be desired. it is an absolute pig sty, with dirt and debris all over the floor, plus water everywhere you walk. Also half of the cubicles closed for no reason. The overcrowding of this is worsened by the closing off sections for swimming club, then failing to remove the signs when they are finished. I ended up having a nasty altercation with another swimmer, who almost smashed into me 3 times, due to him swimming down the middle of the lane, despite me requesting he kindly leaves room for others. It could have been all avoided if the poolside had removed the cordon around the swimming club lanes, because two of these were actually free, and thus I could have been in one of those lanes instead. But the are always too busy having a chat with each other to see what’s really going on. At the Allander - like other new leisure centres built in recent years - clearly no proper research has been done into their market when it was designed. As its is far too small for the amount of people who go there. I don’t want to use the term swimmers, as most are actually grown adults who go into the water to sit around or treat it like a school playground. Fabulous facilities and super warm and welcoming staff. A real feeling of community where everyone is welcomed and encouraged regardless of age or ability. We feel really lucky to have this great facility on our doorstep! Can't believe the reviews below, especially the person saying it was upsetting that he had bad coffee. If such a trivial thing upsets you that much to write a negative review, well poor you. The new gym is fantastic and when I am feeling better, I will join. A great facility for Bearsden residents and spotless. Don't let the ungrateful folk put you off. All of the spin instructors are fantastic but Sandra is exceptional. Very supportive coach. I do agree with the review about the changing area being very dirty. The area isn’t very well organised either so I don’t use it anymore which is a shame. Fantastic, amazing. Great staff, great equipment. So much better than the expensive run down gym near the waterworks (nuffield) where I was a member for 20 years. 🚨BEWARE🚨 Normally never lock my locker as I hold this place to a high standard, my own mistake (I'm aware) return from a relaxing sauna to find my chain hand been lifted from my locker whilst I was inside, upon raising my concern to the wet changing room members of they seemed unconcred and simply replied "sometimes it happens" first I've heard of peoples belongings being robbed while they unwind, woman at the desk were abit more forgiving and helpful, sadly I can say I won't be back. Sad to think I could be sitting in a sauna next to a person who lifts people's/my possessions. Not the place I wanna hang about. Unfortunate experience all round I am extremely disappointed with Allander Leisure Centre’s Body Balance class and the way my girlfriend was treated. She arrived five minutes late due to using the toilet, and instead of handling it with professionalism, the Body Balance instructor publicly asked her to leave in front of the entire class. When she explained that she was attending to help with her back condition, the instructor dismissively said “I don’t know anything about back problems” and refused to offer any modifications or alternatives. This was humiliating, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. It is shocking that a fitness instructor running a class focused on flexibility and balance has no understanding of common physical conditions. This raises serious safety concerns—what if someone had an injury or required adaptations? Would they just be kicked out as well? To be fair, the Pilates and Yoga instructors at Allander Leisure Centre have been excellent—supportive, knowledgeable, and accommodating to different fitness levels. Unfortunately, the experience in the Body Balance class has left my girlfriend feeling discouraged and hesitant to continue attending classes. I filed a formal complaint, but the response was dismissive—no apology, no acknowledgment of the instructor’s poor handling of the situation, and no reassurance that will be better trained to accommodate members with health concerns. If you have any injuries, mobility issues, or medical conditions, I would strongly recommend avoiding the Body Balance class. The instructor lacks basic knowledge and empathy, and management does not seem to care.
