The building and equipment were derelict, the staff were uninterested and just sitting on their phones. I honestly think this could be the worst gym in whole of Edinburgh
The staff are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Membership is probably the best value in town considering it includes the gym, swimming pool and all classes. The facilities are cleaned regularly and when I go it's not too busy. I will definitely be recommending this to friends & family.
The gym has great potential but the current manager is toxic. Previous review (same day prior to being told off): Pool is fantastic and the timetable reflects well how busy it is. Indoor and outdoor gym which is well equipped. Not a crowded place at non peak times, which is great. Those who are there to workout will enjoy. Those who are only at the gym for aesthetics will likely not. Staff are all friendly and helpful.
A half star would be generous. Place is damp and riddled with mould, which the staff ended up getting ill from. Due to the dampness in the building all of the gym equipment is rusting and will leave brown stains on your hands and clothing after training. Due to damp air quality and condensation even the toilet rolls in the building are soggy. The place is a joke. All good reviews on this place are from the previous owner, who also wasn’t great but much better than the current one!! Photos below….
Terrible gym, the place is basically derelict with damp and mould all over the building and severe plumbing issues. In addition, the reception roof has been caved in for almost a year now due to leaks in the roof and condensation issues. The ventilation system is broken with no sign of being fixed which leaves the building with this damp humid feeling throughout. All of the equipment is worn out and/or broken with no sign of any upgrades coming either. If you want to train in anything but a rusty swamp then do not join here. This gym is the laughing stock of Edinburgh, if you pop in and check it out you will see why. Photos below highlighting black mould spores all over the building.
