A new gym is opening with the support of Mr Scotland.

The Training Station Gym is opening in Milngavie on April 4, 2026, and is based at 24 Crossveggate, next to Milngavie train station.

Open daily from 6 am to 10 pm year-round, the gym offers a strength-and-conditioning-focused experience for all abilities.

Chris McCann, co-owner, manager, and the current Mr Scotland with the National Amateur Bodybuilders’ Association, said: “In creating the Training Station Gym in Milngavie, I wanted to provide a strength and conditioning-focused gym that is welcoming and accessible to all, from those starting their training journey to experienced bodybuilders and weightlifters.

As well as providing the best range of equipment in the area for those who wish to train on their own, my team and I of personal trainers will be able to guide nutrition, diet, and training plans to help members build strength, grow in confidence, see real progress, and improve their overall health and wellbeing.”

McCann is a personal trainer and online coach.

The 3000 sq ft facility has been fully equipped to his specifications.

The gym features a mix of strength equipment, some of it unique to the area, alongside free weights, cardio machines, and spacious changing rooms with showers.

The gym also aims to build a supportive community for its members.
