Training in North Kelvin
Group workouts, tai chi and the Kelvin.
North Kelvin, or North Kelvinside, takes its name from the river on its southern edge rather than from Kelvinside to the west. Close to the university, it's full of students and academics, and its training reflects that. F45 Glasgow West End runs group workouts, Five Winds Tai Chi Chuan has taught in Glasgow since 1984, Phoenix Taekwon-do has a Maryhill class, and Stayfit Fitness Retreat offers another place to train. Scotland's oldest dedicated squash club, on Malloch Street, dates from 1934.
The Kelvin walkway runs along the river from Kelvingrove Park to the Botanic Gardens, and North Kelvin Meadow and the Children's Wood are local green spaces. A riverside run is better with company, and so is an early F45 class.
