David Lloyd Rouken Glen is on Stewarton Road in Glasgow G46. It holds a 4.5 rating from 34 Google reviews. Two members give you the numbers and the caveat that most reviews leave out. One thing first, though: every review on this record dates from late 2020, so treat the figures below as five-year-old evidence.
A Couples Membership Was Quoted At 180 Pounds
A visitor in November 2020, three stars, took a tour and left this: "This review is based on my opinion of membership cost. Went for a tour and really nice club with good facilities. However I felt 180 pounds for a couples membership was expensive and I suspect the prices are based on the club location and clientele they wish to attract."
A hundred and eighty pounds. That's the only price on this page, it dates from November 2020, and it presumably meant per month.
Notice they don't say the club is bad. They say it's dear, and they have a theory about why. Whether that theory holds I can't tell you, but the figure is the useful part. If you're comparing Glasgow clubs, that's your benchmark to check against.
Don't Come Here To Lift
The single most useful review, from a member in November 2020, four stars: "Very clean and spacious changing rooms, swimming pool excellent, plenty of cardio machines to choose from. However the actual weights section of the gym is very small, equipment crammed in and not a huge range of machines or bars. If you are looking for a weight lifting gym then I would look elsewhere. Otherwise, top notch facilities."
That's about as clear as directory advice gets, and it comes from someone giving four stars. They like the club. They're telling you it isn't a lifting gym.
Small weights area, crammed equipment, limited bars and machines. If your training is squats, deadlifts and presses, this member has done you a favour.
So What Is It For?
Everything else, apparently, and the reviews are consistent about it.
A member in October 2020: "Great atmosphere. Best children pool, spa and lovely cafe. Nice children classes too!"
A guest in October 2020: "Played tennis as a guest tonight and had a great experience. Amazing courts and Rachel on the reception desk was very helpful."
A member in December 2020, four stars: "Very clean highly specced club, great for all fitness needs and any age."
Pool, children's pool, spa, cafe, tennis courts, children's classes, cardio. That's a family club, and at 180 pounds for two people it's priced like one.
The tennis detail is worth pulling out: a guest played there, which means guest access to the courts exists. If you're visiting rather than joining, that's a route in.
Who It Suits, Bluntly
If you've got kids and want a pool, a spa and somewhere to spend a Saturday, the reviews line up behind that.
If you're a single lifter comparing this against a budget gym on price, you'd be paying a family-club premium for a weights room that one member specifically tells you to avoid.
What's Missing
No opening hours at all in the listing, and no phone number. For a club with a pool, courts, classes and a creche, those schedules all differ anyway.
The 34-review sample is also small for a club this size, and nothing has been written since December 2020.

FAQ

A visitor was quoted 180 pounds for a couples membership in November 2020 and considered it expensive. That's five years old, so expect it to have moved.
Is it good for weight training?
No. A member says the weights section is very small and crammed, and advises looking elsewhere if lifting is your priority.
Can guests use the tennis courts?
A guest describes playing tennis there and rates the courts highly, so guest access appears to exist. Confirm with the club.
What are the opening hours?
None are published, and there's no phone number in the listing.
