Bannatyne Health Club & Spa Aberdeen Laurel Drive, Danestone, Aberdeen AB22 8AQ

"Very sociable place. No "posers" which a nice change from other health clubs. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Wide range of gym apparatus which trainers are happy to explain how to use them to get best benefit within your capabilities."

"Ok let’s start with the good stuff. Sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, pool, changing rooms and less mills programs are great. If you are going for classes and to use the pool everything will be fine for you. Now, the bad stuff. The showers and the toilets are not the greatest. Showers not always have hot water and the doors are not the greatest as sometimes you cannot even close them. Also the arrangement and the availability of the equipment in the gym is weird. Dumbbells are not enough for the lighter weights when the gym is packed, there are not enough benches and the space for lifting weights is weirdly distributed as there’s not enough free space in the gym floor to see yourself in the mirror to check your form. And you would say ok take your stuff to the studio… but it is not convenient to be carrying around stuff between rooms and probably the studio is being used anyways. Due to this weird distribution even when it’s not packed everything seems to be being used."

"Bad parts first showers leading to the pool smell really bad, pool area is dirty, sauna has had the temperature very low recently, jacuzzi is cold. Gym equipment and classes are good tbf but all the space in the gym could be used a lot better."

"Been a member for almost 2 years now and it’s a nice enough place. Classes and instructors are fantastic, changing rooms kept tidy. Cafe staff are great. Most reception staff are fine, there is one or two whom aren’t very approachable, so just avoid asking them anything. Complained about the swimming pool cleanliness on a few separate occasions."

"We had a spa day booked and the spa treatments were fantastic! We both had a massage and facial each and both girls Kelly and Ilona were exceptional. The gym is very well equipped and the spa facilities were nice even though we could not use the steam room on this occasion. Unfortunately the only down side of the club was the reception staff who greeted us. As this was our first visit for a spa day we had no idea where and which way to go for the treatments or changing rooms etc. no explanation whatsoever. This was slightly redeemed by the end of it as on our way out Anita (I actually think i might have gotten her name wrong. Sorry!) was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend."
