Gym near JohnstoneA Hyrox and functional fitness gym near Johnstone
7.5 miles from Johnstone, up the A737 and along the M8.
Commando X-Fit is a functional fitness gym near Johnstone, 7.5 miles by road in Hillington. We will be honest: there are gyms closer to you. The reason to make the trip from Johnstone, Elderslie or Linwood is the kind of training that an ordinary gym floor is not set up for.
If you are working towards Hyrox, a hybrid event or a race, you need a sled and somewhere to push it, a turf track, rowers and ski machines that are free when your session calls for them, and room to carry things. That is the main floor here. One member described us on Google as the best facility in Glasgow for hybrid training, covering Hyrox, CrossFit and calisthenics.
The coaching matches the kit. Liam prepares clients for Hyrox, the Hybrid Games and running events, Emily is a certified run coach, and the Wednesday engine building class is designed to raise exactly the fitness those events demand.
The drive is straightforward: A737 to the M8, east to junction 26, and you are in Hillington Park. By train you would change at Paisley Gilmour Street for Hillington West. If you work in Glasgow, we are on your way in.
Silver membership gives you the full gym for £50 a month and Gold adds every class for £65, both on a rolling month. Message us on WhatsApp to arrange a visit and bring your training plan with you.

What members say
“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.”
Rachel Holt, February 2025
“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.”
Stuart Muir, January 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”
Clare Pearson, December 2024
