It’s okay but having no pec deck is insane! It’s a staple for any gym.
Having only 3 benches is also ridiculous considering how much room there is in the dumbbell area.

It's a well equipped gym and there have been some good improvements over the past few years. However, there is a huge problem with overcrowding which essentially renders the gym unusable for weeks if not months at a time where they gym is completely full at capacity all day. Your only hope of getting any equipment you want is either first thing in the morning or after 9pm in the evening, and even then, it's not a guarantee. If you do happen to go when the gym is over 70% capacity, it's a fairly miserable time. It is certainly one of the busiest gyms I've ever encountered, and checking online to find out the capacity is at over 90% is fairly soul crushing.

It's also worth mentioning that this gym isn't cheap either. It's over £200 for just September to May, and you have to pay separately for summer months. There's no option for monthly payments either and I'm really not sure why. If you're not a student, it's over £500.

Unfortunately for residents of St Andrews, this gym is essentially the only option as other gyms are significantly more expensive and much worse equipped if you do any amount of serious weightlifting. So unfortunately, until the space for the gym is increased, you're stuck with this.

You could spend all day chasing sheep but you wool appreciate this state of the art gym. Plenty of squat racks, dumbbells, and machines. Reasonable guest pass rates for guests.

Poorly run, with poor investment decisions. The gym equipment itself is decent, but there is no way near enough of it. Instead of tearing up the athletics track (and leaving the university's competitive runners to find facilities in dundee), the University should definitely have invested in expanding the existing gym, which is BY FAR it's most popular facility.

I would like to say how impressed I've been with the staff at Saints Sports. My 5 year old daughter has been at the Multi Sports on Wednesdays during the school holidays and the staff have been great. Very positive, encouraging and friendly. When I picked her up today I was with my eldest daughter who is 11 and the member of staff turned to her instead of me to ask 'who are you here to pick up?'. My sister, she said. 'Your sister is here to meet you' the staff member said. A simple gesture but much appreciated. It made both of them feel grown up and important. Keep doing what you are doing Saints Sports.

Good facilities, but always crowded during peak hours. It also shuts quite early for a gym used by students with odd sleep schedules--I know it's expensive to keep it open later but considering there are still people using it at closing a change wouldn't be amiss.

Maria Chiara Casalino

The gym itslef is nice, and the facilities are modern. Unfortunately the gym is always crowded, even at off peak hours you still often need to wait to use machines. It's too small and there's simply not enough space for all the people who use it. During peak hours it becomes absolutely unusable.

Cameron Bathgate

Expensive if not staff or student but got the most gym equipment around. Developed a lot over the past decade with a climbing wall and multiple inside halls.
