My City: Amy Hill (@bodyby_amy), shares her favourite places in Glasgow
Fitness trainer Amy Hill is founder of SPACE, Glasgow’s newest movement studio, where members enjoy small group PT sessions and a range of wellness activities. Here, the 28-year-old shares recommendations for eating out, socialising and finding the best walks in the city and nearby.
Where are your favourite places to eat in Glasgow?
There’s three places I love – taqueria El Jefe’s, West End cafe and bar Naked Soup, and Five March, which is close to St George’s Cross.
Favourite place to unwind with a coffee?
The Brunch Club has the best coffee.
Where is your ideal date night spot?
The Dakota hotel is a nice option, but I do think we need some more good date night spots in Glasgow! I like places that are quite dark and candle lit, and ideally somewhere quite relaxed – I’m over the days of getting dressed up.
You are treating yourself to a day of rest and relaxation – where do you go?
If you are keen for a drive, I love Gleneagles, especially at Christmas. I don’t think you can get anything nicer! The spa at Kimpton Blythswood Square is also very nice – as soon as you go inside, you forget you’re right in the middle of the city.
Where’s your favourite place to escape the hustle and bustle and get back to nature?
I genuinely love walking, I walk everywhere! I prefer walking around the streets with people around me, so Kelvingrove Park or the West End in general is always lovely, but if I want to challenging myself, I would opt for somewhere like Conic Hill, which is a little further away.
What about museums or art galleries?
I am ashamed to say the only one I’ve been to is Kelvingrove Art Gallery, which is definitely worth a visit.
Are there any independent shops you like to visit?
There are so many nice little shops around the West End near where SPACE is based.
