Three Glasgow Club venues will receive a huge investment.
Glasgow Life has announced that three of its facilities will receive a £1.8m upgrade.
A total of £1.2m will be invested in Drumchapel Pool, which includes carrying out essential maintenance.
This will see air handling units replaced and the Building Management System upgraded, which in turn will improve air quality and energy efficiency.
The works are expected to take eight months, starting on Monday, October 31 and are scheduled to be completed next summer.

Glasgow Club members will still have access to the 11 other Glasgow Club pools across the city during this time.
The investment will also include gyms and studio spaces in Bellahouston and the Gorbals renovated as part of the regular citywide facility refresh programme over the coming months.
The Glasgow Club gym at Bellahouston will get new cardio and strength equipment as well as items for the freshly decorated functional fitness area. The dance studio will have a new floor and feature lighting installed.
There will be a new layout of the gym at Glasgow Club Gorbals, which will include more weight machines. There will also be new cardio equipment and functional fitness items. The dance, yoga and functional studio spaces will all be refurbished.

Bailie Annette Christie, Chair of Glasgow Life, said: “This investment will ensure Drumchapel Pool continues to serve the local community and surrounding areas for years to come.
"It is scheduled to re-open next year when Glasgow will celebrate its second term as the European Capital of Sport. People will return to an improved building and enjoy a better experience at the pool.
“The funding will also allow gym users at Bellahouston and the Gorbals to have access to state-of-the-art equipment.
"The studio makeovers will allow people to enjoy our wide range of fitness classes in more modern and refreshed surroundings.
"Improving the quality of these facilities has the power to encourage more people to get involved and experience the numerous benefits of sport and physical activity.”
