Where fighters stay

Drumchapel and Bishopbriggs are not a walk from Central station. Hotel du Vin’s higher rate is in the West End, near the Botanic Gardens.

How to choose a gym

• Check age and level. Deachkalek’s evening class is 13 and up. Everyday Athlete’s kids’ class is 7+.
• Read the expiry. Ten sessions at Everyday Athlete last six months. The £94 month renews. The £120 month does not.
• Ask which show if you want to fight or watch.
