Following the First Minister’s announcement that all areas of Scotland will move to Covid Protection Level Zero from Monday 19 July, we’ll be implementing some changes across our services.

All indoor public places will now adhere to physical distancing measures of one metre rather than two metres, and this will be the case in all Glasgow Life venues which have reopened including museums, libraries, and sports facilities.

Saturday and Sunday: 8am - 6pm 

Classes can be booked online or via the Glasgow Club app.

Please note that changing facilities and lockers will not be available. Masks should be worn when entering the venue (unless exempt) but can be removed during physical activity. 

Soft Play/ Clip n'Climb at Kelvin Hall are currently closed

Please note that changing facilities and lockers will not be available. Masks should be worn when entering the venue (unless exempt) but can be removed during physical activity. 

Glasgow Life is currently working on a phased reopening of some venues across the city. While Kelvin Hall will reopen, the Soft Play and Clip ‘n’ Climb facilities will not open immediately as a thorough process must be followed to ensure a safe return for users. Similarly PlayGym will not restart at present. We will update customers when a reopening date is confirmed.
