    Great space and have never had to wait on kit as the gym is not over subscribed. The functional, strength and cardio kit is all top of the range.

  • Stuart MuirJanuary 2024

    Having been out the gym lifestyle for a few years it was daunting getting back in but the place is very welcoming and all staff are friendly.

  • Clare PearsonDecember 2024

    I love that there’s loads of space and even a private area for anyone that feels self conscious, which I did at first but you won’t feel like that for long as everyone is so welcoming and friendly

  • magsbulldogFebruary 2025

    All ages and fitness levels accommodated. All machines are expertly maintained and you never wait for a squat rack.

  • Jake WilsonMarch 2024

    The staff are excellent and put a lot of effort into making the classes different and better than anything i had experienced previously. The only thing that annoys me is i wish i had discovered this place sooner.

  • Graham NisbetFebruary 2022

    I generally hate the gym but I love Commando X-Fit. Their functional fitness classes are top drawer.

  • Amy SmythSeptember 2024

    My boyfriend and I visited for our first trial class and the team couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. We weren’t 100% of what we were doing but everyone was great in keeping us right and motivated.

  • Max McCannMarch 2024

    Felt at home from my first visit and the staff were super helpful.

  • Stuart HamiltonJanuary 2025

    The facility is first class and always improving and an absolute bargain for their pricing (don't tell them but I would pay double and still come here :-) ).

Is it only for athletes?

No. It is the thing we hear most, and the numbers say otherwise: 32 percent of our members were complete beginners when they joined. Our coaches adapt every session to the person in front of them, whether you have never lifted or you are training for Hyrox.

Will I be waiting for machines?

No. We cap membership. When we hit the number, we stop taking people on, so the racks, rowers and benches are free when you need them and your session takes as long as you planned.
