An exact opening date for s brand new, state of the art gym on Edinburgh’s Leith Walk has been announced.<\/p>\n

Places Leisure has revealed that their “modern, high-energy fitness space” will finally open its doors on Tuesday, May 13, with all new equipment and an innovative and intelligent Fitness Hub.<\/p>\n

The gym closed back in March of 2023 after rising costs and a sky-rocketing cost of living meant it was no longer viable.<\/p>\n

Now, two years later, Places Leisure have refurbished the space into a 70-station work out hub featuring a range of cardiovascular and resistance machines, a large free weight area, and a stretch area.<\/p>\n

In an effort to help their members integrate technology into their workout, they have also fitted EGYM\u2019s innovative and intelligent Fitness Hub, allowing members to follow workout programmes based on their own body and goals.<\/p>\n

The technology hopes to give members an easier way to visualise body analysis in the form of a \u2018BioAge\u2019 which individuals can then compare to their physical age in the hopes it will help people to understand their current fitness level and see improvements in their health.<\/p>\n

Paul Metcalfe, Contract Manager at Places Leisure, said: \u201cWe are delighted to announce the opening of the new Places Leisure Edinburgh on Leith Walk. Located at The Engine Yard development, this new gym will bring a modern, high-energy fitness space to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll fitness journeys are different; we recognise that following workouts based on individual\u2019s body and goals are key to achieving fitness goals\u2014big or small. That\u2019s why it is so important for Places Leisure Edinburgh to be equipped with the latest technology to support our member\u2019s journeys.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a part of Places for People, we understand the importance of bringing leisure facilities into the heart of communities and making physical activity more accessible. We are excited to open our doors and welcome the community very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Members will have unlimited access to the facilities – which will be open from 6am until 10pm on weekdays and between 8am until 6pm on weekends – as well as having the option to join group fitness and health sessions which will be bookable up to 15 days in advance.<\/p>\n

And to make it even more convenient, members can access their membership card, make and manage bookings, and access virtual sessions through the Places Leisure App.<\/p>\n
