South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture

Blantyre Leisure Centre reopening soon

We are delighted to announce the return of our gym and swimming pool facilities to Blantyre Leisure Centre on Monday 12 January! The centre has undergone considerable works over the past few months to bring improved and integrated leisure and culture facilities.

Please note that Blantyre Leisure Centre is currently closed until Monday 12 January 2026.

The gym has undergone transformational works including brand new gym cardio and resistance equipment, as well as an improved free weights area, and some exciting additions. One new addition includes the mighty BOX12 Pod which brings the latest in tech-led fitness, offering modern digital boxing training and circuit style workouts.

The changing village has an improved air handling system and all new cubicles and lockers. Please be advised the newly installed lockers now require a padlock. Customers can bring their own or one can be purchased at reception.

Swimming lessons and Aquafit will resume at Blantyre from 12 January. We are also pleased to soon re-introduce group cycle classes to our fitness class programme in the studio at the back of the gym.

The next stage of the refurb will include the games hall, male dry side changing and adjoining corridor. Fitness classes will therefore resume at Jock Stein Centre from Monday 5 January on a reduced programme, and will return to Blantyre in February. Racquet sports will also be temporarily unavailable and changing facilities/toilets will be located within the pool changing village.

You can follow updates page for the latest information on upgrading works to our locations.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work behind the scenes to bring you a better leisure and cultural experience in our South Lanarkshire venues.
