The Arlington Baths Club

Fantastic experience: Relaxed, friendly, unpretentious. Helpful staff. Best decision ever in joining,

Fantastic experience: I have been lucky enough to have membership throughout my childhood and now return with my own family. This members run club is tucked in the shadow of Glasgow University near Charing X , along with its extended family club the Western Baths on the West Side of the hill off Byres road. A haven for those who like a bit of family fun and games and also piece and quiet. It has all the usual attractions swimming pool, saunas, steam rooms, gyms, a bar.......... All chatty and social........ And then you have the Turkish baths. This serene space, a dome of concrete with coloured glass geometric shaped windows throwing ambient light. It has wooden benches and chairs and as the saloon style doors swing closed as you enter you realise this is a 'breathe out space'. Held at 110 degrees the joy of just sweating out the days qualms is not to be missed. Off to the side a glassed inner room 120degrees absolutely a place of zen. I love you can't tell which way is north in the Turkish, a bubble out of time Having talked about the zen - there is a lot of pool action, laps are swum at different paces, classes are underway for new swimmers, let's talk about the rings from shallow to deep end and two trapezes, great confidence builders for kids and adults, learning how to fly from one to the other across the pool and of course the huge hot baths at the side of the pool to go and soak in after the exertion. Always worth visiting on doors open day or applying for a visitors pass. Timeless

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place got to see it during Open Doors Day Weekend

Fantastic experience: Visited with my daughter who is a member. We love the place, we will join when we move to the area. The main features are the pool and relaxation areas. The gym part is small compared to modern gyms. So if you are a gym beast this is not for you. But if it’s a community, a bit of exercise and relaxation then it’s perfect.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful old private members baths, totally worth the price if membership!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a place to relax in style, this is it. Sadly, the weather in Glasgow isn't often up to much. When it is, I like to hit up the park. But alas, those days are rare. Fortunately, The Arlington makes up for that. Here, they have an 8-lane pool built in 1870, complete with flying trapeze and rings. There's also a sauna, steam room and Turkish suite. These facilities are perfect for de-stressing and forgetting about the outside world. If you plan on using the Turkish, I recommend bringing in something to read, be it a newspaper, book or something else. Coming to The Arlington to chill out allows you to step back into a time before monotonous leisure centres and sports complexes.

Fantastic experience: It is a pleasant haven in this large town where you can relax and chill after a hard day at work....Amenities are excellent....

Fantastic experience: Loved it. I visited the club during Glasgow Open Doors Festival. Timeless. Unique place for swimming experience and Turkish bath like things used to be. The club is established in 1870.

Fantastic experience: I've o my been here the one time and I loved it. I will definitely be back again. So much to do. Love the old Victorian setting with the old baths. The sauna and steam rooms are amazing. The assault course above the pool is great for the kids. Amazing how old and well preserved this place is. It might be a bit pricey compared to normal swimming pools but it is worth every penny just for it's history to say you've been in there.
