Two machines might look almost identical, train the same muscles and have the same weight stack—but feel completely different.

Different angles, cams and leverages change how much resistance you feel and where the exercise feels hardest. That means 40kg on one machine won’t necessarily feel like 40kg on another.

Cable ratios matter too. A machine with a 2:1 pulley ratio gives you roughly half the selected stack weight at the handle.

And this applies to plate-loaded machines as well. Different pivot points, lever arms and starting weights all affect how heavy those plates feel when you move them.

So when you try an unfamiliar machine, give yourself time to find the right weight. You don’t need to match the number you use elsewhere.

A useful guide is RPE—your rating of perceived exertion. Put simply: how hard does the set feel on a scale of 1–10? A 10 is your maximum effort, with no more good reps left.

If your workout calls for an 8/10 effort, choose a weight that gives you that level of challenge while keeping your movement controlled.

Once you know a particular machine, tracking its weights and reps is a great way to measure progress. Just remember that those numbers belong to that machine.

Learn the machine. Find the right effort. Build from there.

P.S. This is such a great seated leg curl.

The person before you might be taller, shorter or have completely different proportions.

Their seat position probably won’t be yours.

Before starting, take a moment to adjust the seat, pads and starting position so the machine fits you. Those adjustments can make a big difference to how comfortable and controlled an exercise feels.

If you’re unsure what a lever does or where a pad should sit, ask a member of our team. You don’t need to figure everything out yourself.

And once you’ve found your setup, save the settings in your phone so you’re ready next time.

Four locations. One membership. 24/7 access.

The person who makes room.
The person who puts their weights back.
The person who says, “Of course you can work in.”
The friendly face that makes someone’s first visit feel a little easier.

That’s the atmosphere we want at Cargill’s Gym.

As a small, private gym, we all play a part in making it a welcoming place to train. Whether you’ve been coming for years or have just joined, a little consideration goes a long way.

Share equipment between sets where practical.
Be mindful of someone waiting.
Wipe down what you’ve used, return your weights and leave the space ready for the next person.

And don’t underestimate the smaller gestures.
A hello, a smile or making room for someone can help them feel comfortable coming back—especially when they’re still finding their feet.

Some members enjoy a chat. Others prefer their headphones and their own space. There’s room for both, and respecting that is part of being a good gym member too.

We want everyone to enjoy their own training while helping make the experience better for the people around them.

Look after the gym. Look out for each other.

Four locations. One membership. 24/7 access.

Work gets busy.
The kids are off school.
You’re away.
Feeling under the weather.
Or, your routine simply just slips.

It happens.

You don’t need to make up for every missed workout or wait until Monday to start again.

Come in, do a manageable session and take it from there. If you’ve had a longer break, ease back in rather than expecting to pick up exactly where you left off.

A consistent routine can include the occasional missed week. What matters is getting back to it.

We’ll be here when you’re ready.

Four locations. One membership. 24/7 access.

Early start?
Late finish?
A free half hour between work and picking up the kids?

At Cargill’s Gym, our members have 24/7 access, so you can train at a time that works for you.

You don’t need hours of spare time. A focused 30-minute workout can be a worthwhile part of your week.

With gyms in Forfar, Brechin, Kirriemuir and Montrose, you have four locations to choose from—all included in one membership.

Make time for yourself, whenever that time happens to be.

If you love trying new exercises, you don’t need to take that enjoyment out of your training. But changing everything every session can make it harder to track progress and give exercises enough time to work for you.

Try keeping a few familiar exercises in your routine—ones you enjoy, that match your goals and that you’re willing to put effort into.

Want to work on your bum and enjoy hip thrusts? Make them a regular part of your routine. Record your weights and reps, practise your technique and aim to gradually improve.

Then give yourself some flexibility with the rest. Try a different exercise, train with a friend or switch things up to keep your sessions interesting.

You don’t need a completely new workout every visit. Sometimes a small change is enough to keep you looking forward to training.

And if you enjoy doing the same workout? Stick with it. There’s no need to change a routine you enjoy while it’s helping you progress.

Keep your main exercises consistent, build on what you can do and leave room for the things that make you enjoy coming back.

Our free Cargill’s Gym app makes it easy to record your workouts and see how you’re progressing.

Four locations. One membership. 24/7 access.

It’s something we talk about a lot: your routine needs to work for you. Having a favourite exercise to look forward to can make getting through the door that little bit easier.

Walking into a gym can feel overwhelming when you’re unsure what everything does. But you don’t need to understand every machine on day one.

Start with a few exercises that match what you want to work on, learn how to do them well, and build from there.

Want to work on your glutes? Learn how to set up and use a leg press, try a squat variation or learn a barbell hip thrust. Start with one, get comfortable with the movement, then add another as your confidence grows.

Want to strengthen your back? A lat pulldown and a seated row are useful exercises to learn. Focus on adjusting the machine to fit you and choosing a weight you can control.

Want to improve your fitness? Choose a treadmill, bike or cross trainer and start at a manageable pace. That might mean 10 minutes to begin with. As it feels easier, gradually add a little time or resistance.

At Cargill’s Gym, you can ask our team for guidance during staffed hours, or use the exercise videos and workout plans in our free gym app.

Four locations. One membership. 24/7 access.

There’s a lovely moment when a machine you used to walk past becomes one you feel confident using. Give yourself the chance to get there, one exercise at a time.

Can you remember the weights and reps you did last week?

Keeping a simple record gives you a starting point for your next session and helps you see progress you might otherwise miss.

Write down your exercises, weights and reps, or use our free gym app to record your workouts.

OUR TOP TIP: Aim to increase either the weight or the reps on your main exercises at least once every three weeks, while keeping good technique. Even one extra rep is progress.

You don’t need to beat every session, but recording what you do helps you know when you’re ready to take that next step.

At Cargill’s Gym, our free app includes workout plans and exercise videos to help you get started and keep going.
Our members love seeing the app tell them they’ve just hit a new PB. It’s a little reminder that their hard work is paying off.

Four locations. One membership. 24/7 access.

Today we removed a really good piece of equipment from Cargill’s Gym Kirriemuir.

It was in great condition, had a great movement pattern and was built like a tank.

So why remove it?

The starting weight was too heavy for many of our members, and it didn’t have an adjustable safety stop. This meant only around 20% of our members actually used it.

In a small gym, every bit of space is valuable. We want to make that space work for as many of our members as possible.

That’s why we’re making room for two new pieces of leg equipment.

Keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks—we’ll be showing you what’s taking its place.
