Would you reccomend - Yes
Been a member of Block9 gym since they opened. Loved the gym then but love it even more now. Jennifer and Nick are constantly improving it by adding more equipment and running various fitness classes, group or individual PT sessions. It definitely has that family feel, everyone is so friendly and it makes you feel so welcome. If you want a gym where you can wear what you like, workout at your own pace and have the help and support from the amazing team there then this is the gym for you.

I've been to many gyms, but Block 9 is the best by far. Lots of great equipment, knowledgeable and friendly staff, it feels more like a community. The classes are good fun, and there are options for all fitness levels. I have made many friends here and would highly recommend.

I have been attending Block9 for over 4 years now and recently over a year ago joined as a member. Having been to gyms locally and been made to feel anxious and self conscious I was pretty nervous joining another. But as much as Block9 is a place to exercise and work in your fitness goals it is also a safe space and they really do have that family atmosphere. The members are so friendly and welcoming and all the PTs are fab! I’ve recommended it to both family & friends! Wouldn’t go anywhere else :)

I have been a member at a few gyms in my time but none have ever been like this! I actually love going to the gym. I have made friends with other members and we all have a good chat and a giggle in classes. I never feel self concsious. Theres Tons of equipment so even though there are always other people around it never feels too busy! The staff are so friendly, helpful and approachable which I think is so important. Best gym I have ever been part of.
Would recommend: Yes
A friendly, well equipped gym full of normal people, each with their own goals. The staff are brilliant, approachable and very knowledgeable. You can go at your own pace or be pushed out of your comfort zone. They have worked hard to keep us motivated during lockdown with online classes, weight loss groups and outdoor training as restrictions allowed. I'm really glad to be part of Block 9 and can't wait to see the new set up when we're allowed back in.
Would recommend: Yes
I started out my fitness journey here with Nick & Jen not only is this a good old school weights gym it’s a family run business and they make you feel part of that family! This gym will always feel like home to me. Best gym about without a doubt! Even though I’m doing my own thing now I'll always pop in when I can.

Every one is welcomed with a smile. The gym floor is extensively kitted out for all levels. Regular classes are always fun, whilst you work hard. The friendly owners and trainers make it "the best gym in Lanarkshire"
Would recommend: Yes
I joined Block9 during lockdown last year as the gym I used the staff were furloughed and no alternatives were offered to me. Although I had had PT sessions before Block9 did not sit on their laurels. They stepped up to the challenges of lockdown and looked at ways of offering a service to members and non members. This was via Zoom classes that I joined on a pay as you go basis. However I enjoyed the classes so much I became a member. Jen, Ross and Kirsty are amazing each offering different and innovative sessions that certainly make you feel you have worked your muscles. I would recommend this gym as it has something for everyone and such a family friendly feel to it.
Would recommend: Yes
I’ve been a member of a few different gyms in the past but only lasted a few months because I didn’t feel comfortable or confident. I’ve been going to Block 9 for nearly 2 years & it’s the best gym I’ve been to! It’s a great atmosphere, amazing equipment plus Nick & Jen are always there for support.
Would recommend: Yes
Block9 is on another level compared to every other gym out there. It is filled with driven and passionate people aiming toward achieving their goals. The gym is very inclusive and sees all walks of life pass through its doors. No matter who you are, you'll find yourself become a part of the community. Dont just take my word for it. Get yourself a membership and find out for yourself!
Would recommend: Yes
Been training at Block 9 for 8 years now. It’s where I learned how to train hard, be motivated and stop ‘playing’ at it. ...and I’m still learning. Everything from weight training, power lifting, HIIT and nutrition has been easy to get into and develop here. A massive thanks to the team at Block 9!!! Place is looking great and I can’t want to get my hands on the new equipment!
Anything to add: Family run gym, friendly and safe! Great COVID measures in place too from last year that helped keep everyone healthy and able to come to the gym (when it was allowed to open before Xmas).
Would recommend: Yes
As someone who was so nervous about joining a gym after many years I was absolutely blown away by support from not only the staff but other members. The facilities are excellent and new equipment is always been added, can’t wait until it’s time to go back!
Would recommend: Yes

Would recommend: Yes
Been a member of several localgyms over the last few years and I can honestly say Block 9 is by far the best. Being family run gives it a more personal touch. I do both PT sessions, classes and train alone but I always feel welcome and know that I can ask any of the staff for help or advice at anytime. If you want a professional yet friendly gym with great kit where you don’t feel intimated (or the need to dress up to go to the gym) then this is definitely the place for you!
Would recommend: Yes

Myself & DH are members and regularly go the Block9 gym. The gym is very inclusive of age we don’t feel out of place in here. If you have an injury Jennifer will advise on tweaks to equipment and exercises so you can carry on with your workouts. Great for your MH as well as physical health. Can’t wait for opening up been a long while forced closure looking for to trying out the new equipment installed.
