Glasgow with Kids: "My absolute favourite is Smart Gym CIC, located in the Wedge building just a few minutes away from Silverburn... This place has been specifically built with parents in mind. They have a supervised creche service at certain times which is free to use with your membership, and at other times kids can play in the play area or work out with their parents if they want to." https://www.glasgowwithkids.co.uk/smart-gym-cic-the-family-and-budget-friendly-gym/
