Maryhill's Women Only Gym Built Around You
A Gym That Actually Feels Like Yours
Strength In Sisterhood is a women only gym on Lochburn Road in Maryhill, Glasgow, and it was built with one thing in mind: making women feel like they genuinely belong here. No intimidating open floors, no unsolicited advice from strangers, no pretending you know what you are doing when you do not. Just a warm, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are.
We are not a commercial gym with rows of machines and a reception desk that barely looks up when you walk in. We are a community. Every woman who trains here is supported, encouraged and cheered on. Whether you have never lifted a weight in your life or you are returning to fitness after years away, you will find your place here.
Small Group Personal Training That Works
At the heart of what we do is small group personal training. This means you get real coaching and real accountability without the cost of one-to-one sessions. Your coach knows your name, knows your goals and knows when to push you and when to ease off. That level of attention makes a genuine difference to how quickly you progress and how good you feel about the process.
Our sessions are designed for women of all fitness levels. There is no baseline you need to reach before you walk through the door at our Maryhill gym. If you are a complete beginner, we will meet you where you are. If you are more experienced and looking for structure and a programme that actually challenges you, we have got that too.
Small groups also mean you build real connections with the women training alongside you. That sense of community is not a marketing line for us. It is the reason so many of our members keep coming back.
Confidence First, Bodies Second
We talk a lot about results because results matter. But the result we care most about is how you feel. Stronger, more capable, more confident in your own body and your own life. That is what consistent training in a supportive environment can do for you, and it is what makes Strength In Sisterhood different from the typical gym experience.
So many women tell us they avoided gyms for years because they felt out of place or judged. We understand that. This women only gym exists because that should never be the barrier between any woman and her health. Maryhill and the wider Glasgow area deserves a space where women are the priority, not an afterthought.

Frequently asked questions
Is Strength In Sisterhood really for all fitness levels?
Absolutely. You do not need any prior gym experience to join. Our coaches work with complete beginners as well as women who have been training for years. Sessions are adapted to suit where you are right now, not where someone else thinks you should be.
What is small group personal training and how is it different from a regular class?
Small group personal training means you train in a small group but with the attention and structure of personal coaching. Your coach knows your goals, tracks your progress and gives you individual cues and support throughout each session. It is much more personal than a standard fitness class.
Why is the gym women only?
Because a lot of women train better, feel more comfortable and push themselves further in a space that is just for them. We wanted to create somewhere free from judgement, where every woman feels like she belongs. That is genuinely easier to do in a women only environment.
Where exactly is the gym and how do I get there?
We are at 26 Lochburn Road, Maryhill, Glasgow, G20 9AQ. Maryhill is well connected by bus from across the north and west of Glasgow, and there is parking nearby for those driving.

Just get in touch. There is no complicated sign-up process and no obligation. We will have a chat about what you are looking for, show you around and help you figure out if we are the right fit for you. We want you to feel comfortable before you commit to anything.
