Training in Dennistoun
Community boxing and a Victorian park.
Students and young professionals have moved into Dennistoun's Victorian tenements, and the area's training is mostly community-run. Bluevale Fitness belongs to Bluevale Community Club, which runs boxing from beginner level, football teams and Pilates for Dennistoun and Haghill. Hapjitsu Martial Arts covers martial arts, Whitevale Bowling Club has the green, and Glasgow Saints play football. Glasgow Club Whitehill, the local pool and gym on Onslow Drive, is closed until further notice because of RAAC in the building.
Alexandra Park, opened in 1870, covers about 42 hectares of Dennistoun, and from its highest point you can see Ben Lomond. Hill reps there are better shared, and so is the trip across the city for a swim while Whitehill is shut.
