Gym near CardonaldThe gym near Cardonald that is not just for athletes
1.6 miles from Cardonald, down Hillington Road.
Commando X-Fit is a gym near Cardonald, 1.6 miles by road, which makes it the local gym for much of Cardonald, Penilee and Crookston. Plenty of people round here have driven past, seen the name and decided it must be for serious athletes only. It is not, and we would like the chance to prove it.
Ask the members. One wrote on Google that they generally hate the gym but love it here. Another had been away from training for years and found it daunting to come back, then said the place was welcoming from the first visit. A third mentioned the private area for anyone who feels self conscious at the start.
That is the gym we are trying to run. The coaches are on the floor to help, the classes are scaled to whoever turns up, and Ross, the owner, is as happy coaching an absolute beginner as anyone else.
From Cardonald you come along Paisley Road West and turn down Hillington Road, or take the train one stop from Cardonald station to Hillington East. Either way it is a few minutes.

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”
