They have a Facebook profile which is worth a look if only for the video of the guy squatting 306kg (yes kg not lb). £30 per month with no sign up fee or minimum contract. It's focused on bodybuilding and strongman style lifting rather than cardio.<br /> Pure Gym at Ocean Terminal is worth a shot too. They are 24 hour and 19.99 per month with no contract. Lots of cardio equipment and recently added more free weights equipment. Tends to get very busy though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16874#post-230900 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 06:50:00 +0000 Nelly 230900@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And remember, there is the new bridge linking meadowbank retail park and Albion road, so it's easier to get to the sports centre now. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16874#post-230881 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:06:06 +0000 kaputnik 230881@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a boxing gym just off Leith Links on Academy Street (Leith Victoria AAC).</p> <p>There's CrossFit in Edinburgh on Clockmill lane, just along London Road on the other side of the tracks from Meadowbank Sports Centre. This might be the kind of place you're after.</p> <p>Leith Victoria off Great Junction Street (not the same place as above) has a pool and gym. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16874#post-230880 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:47:25 +0000 crowriver 230880@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Meadowbank Sports Centre has a huge gym. There used to be a private one on London Road near Elm Row but not sure if it's still open. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16874#post-230878 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:23:24 +0000 Klaxon 230878@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm a member of CSE at the Pleasance. They have secure bike parking and it's only 10 mins from Easter Rd. Very, very good free weights facilities.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ed.ac.uk/sport-exercise/memberships/general-public/general-public" rel="nofollow">http://www.ed.ac.uk/sport-exercise/memberships/general-public/general-public</a></p> <p>Don't be put off by the crowds if you go for a visit this week... freshers is their equivalent of the new year rush. It's gone by the end of the month. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16874#post-230877 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:13:46 +0000 wingpig 230877@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Define near? There's one near Clownaround just off Restalrig Road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16874#post-230876 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:59:58 +0000 rob_88_rover 230876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I am moving to Easter Road next month. I'll now be quite a way from the gym I normally train in so I am wondering if anyone knows of a gym near to my new area?</p> <p>I've done a quick Google search but there doesn't appear to be any. Ideally, I'm after a Rocky type gym for weight training, but I'm yet to find one!</p> <p>Cheers </p> <p>Bob </p>
