Virgin Gym Omni Centre Edinburgh

Advantages: size and in town centre
Disadvantages: expensive, some incompetent staff

Large gym with up to date machines. Have enjoyed going although there is alot of waiting around at peak times. Also, I have never ever been able to book a place on a class at peak times which is very very frustrating. Only really good thing is the 25m pool that is UV filtered. There are nicer gyms in Edinburgh for the same money. My main complaint is with the incompetency of the admin staff. I cancelled my membership by filling in the required form ...

Review of Virgin Active Fitness Club, Edinburgh

A family friendy Health club

Advantages: Family friendly, plenty to do
Disadvantages: Can be busy at certain times

...January 2001, my friend joined David Lloyd which had recently been built and opened in Gyle Park on the West of Edinburgh situated between Corstorphine and the Gyle! In July 2001 we noticed and offer in teh paper for a £50 joining fee so we phoned and arranged a look round! We were impressed! A large car park with plenty of spaces and also from the outside the building looked clean and welcoming! The staff were very helpful on the front desk and ...
...back there. David Lloyd also have a function suite which is just off reception. They have a extremely large hall which can be shuttered off into 2 smaller rooms. We recently held a naming ceremony here and it was well worth the £500 we paid for it. The staff were great about keeping us informed about everything and the buffet was great too. If you are in Edinburgh and live nearby you should check this club out. I can assure you that you will not ...

Keeping Fit at a Not So Leisurely Pace

Advantages: Facilities all over the city, no contract to tie you in, excellent service overall
Disadvantages: Occasional staff shortages, unruly kids

...time I have lived in Edinburgh I have tried my level best to ensure I get a decent amount of exercise to try to counter the calorific content of the sweet treats I enjoy. There are, of course, a large number of private health clubs in the city, offering fantastic facilities. However they are not cheap and many tie you into a contract that can be difficult to extricate oneself from if, for various reasons, you can no longer make use of your membership. ...
...owned by the City of Edinburgh Council and offers fitness facilities for all the family at various locations dotted around the city ensuring you are never too far from somewhere to go to keep fit. I use Edinburgh Leisure predominantly for swimming and the gym but it's worth noting that they also have a marina, two golf courses (the Silverknowes course is particularly attractive and offers lovely views over the River Forth), tennis club and climbing ...

Review of Edinburgh Leisure, Edinburgh

FITNESS FIRST - APPARENTLY

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: WASTE OF £39

I found out about fitness first when I was searching the Internet for fitness clubs in my area. The club sounded really good, as well as the gym they ran fitness classes including Pilates and Yoga, had a Spa area and a members only video club. They were offering a free day to one of their fitness clubs, so I thought 'why not' and registered my details. A few days later I was called by the Edinburgh Club and asked if I would like to make an appointment ...
...bully me into joining (Which there was absolutely no chance of). Fitness First's logo is that they bring fitness at an affordable price, I don't think so, for £39 a month you don't get much for your money, it's worth paying a few pound extra to join a decent gym. ...

Esporta Number

Advantages: well appointed, nice clean facilities
Disadvantages: lack of free weights, price

...the shower. In summary Esporta is very nice and well equipped, however at around £50 plus joining fee it is also expensive. What it offers over my existing gym, is cleaner, flasher surroundings, with sauna, steam room and spa, however the free weights facilities are not as good, and since it is about 3x more expensive, I don't think I'll be joining. ...
